Character Description
Physical Appearance(s):
This woman stands roughly at 5'0', with fair white skin while her skin is littered with scars from previous battles while being very muscular for her size, holding muscle definition in her biceps and shoulders, a washboard cut stomach littered with scars and a set of rather toned glutes and thighs. Mary has sky blue eyes that are generally in a narrow glare, long grey hair that has a haircut similar to a disheveled wolf-cut, in which her hair drapes over her left eye, Covering that part of her face, which she has a pretty deep cut up the eye to a point where it hinders her vision, she sees it as simply; it hinders her sight, there's no use in keeping her eye exposed. On her right bicep is the Leviathan cross, in which two tan bands sit above and below the tattoo. Clothing wise, Mary wears a tan-colored tank top that's tucked into a pair of black cargo pants that have four utility pouches in the legs (Nine times out of ten, these pockets have daggers and any small weapon that she can pull at a random moment in battle). Holding up these baggy pants, her brown leather belt sits a set of two pistols, pouches right beside the holsters as they're filled with at least two magazines that are filled to the brim with bullets for use. She wears a pair of brown combat boots, steel toed, while she has about three inches added to height from her shoes. On the occasion, she'll have a rather large sword that's strapped to her back that has no enhancing mechanisms. She prefers to have brute strength with no magical advances as much as she possibly can.
When winter comes around, she wears a brown trench-coat that tends to have two pouches on on the inside that has two extra shotguns she can pull from.
Personality: When you first come across Mary, she is very much so a stone-faced woman, who talks only when she is spoken to by someone. This doesn't change much as time goes on and you become acquainted with her, however if you become someone who is near and dear to her, you bet your damn life she will go above and beyond to help protect them.
When you get past those walls of stone, she is seen to be a gentle soul, while she is almost a stoic-mom friend. Offer's to get someone water, food, will most definitely force someone to allow her to help patch up wounds if they're being stubborn about it.
Backstory
Born in a quiet, countryside, Mary was the eldest child in her household, having a younger sister who was a spitting image of herself, a beautiful mother and a tall, built father. Her mother would stay at home and work in a bakery she ran admittedly in her basement, making bread and cheese to sell at the marketplaces. Her father was admittedly an Satanist who would constantly go out and hunt demons, only to bring their blood back for sacrificial rituals to summon demons of his own. Despite being in a very tranquil household, the fights caused between Mary's parents was generally triggered by the actions he took-- "Stop doing this, it's going to happen one too many times and we're going to be put in danger!" Needless to say, a cold morning whisked the countryside and Mary, being the eldest child, was bestowed the responsibility to run to the woods to grab the household some firewood to help warm up the firepit.
Conjuring one of the biggest demons who have been known to give unlimited power and wealth, her father demanded that he be given money and fame to keep his family well off, to which this demon stared down at the man in what seemed to be a patronizing smirk while he crossed his arms to his chest. Without a single word uttered, a flash of blue flames sparked upon the candle on the floor, and her father's head was instantly shot ablaze with a blue flame, emitting a painful shriek while he dropped to his knees, the lord stepping from his pinned position while the door shot open to reveal a mortified mother covering the eyes of a completely terrified daughter. This look of arrogance shifted to almost a sympathetic stare, as the blue flames engulfed the entire house, encasing the family in hellfire to burn alive. A 10 year old Mary had returned to the scene moments later, with arms full of sticks that were dropped from shock as she saw the silhouette of a rather tall being disappear from the home in blue flames. From being a bubbly child, that flame was diminished to a quiet and secluded flicker, those who truly knew her no longer knew the now standing shell.
Shortly afterwards, there was a local group of Devil Hunters that took in the scared and bitter child while she was still cooperative, leaving her to only hone what skill she had and amplify it. As Mary grew older, she began to have a liking for guns, as she saw it as a doorway to push to get stronger. Hitting the proper age of 18, Mary had taken fate into her own hands and proceeded to wander out on her own, finding a town locally and making a home for herself there. There she would leave a rather firm mark as to who she was, and what she was there for; admittedly, nailing down and devils that went to venture into the town to cause chaos. This seemed to catch the interest of a very particular group that just came to be, leaving Mary to be inducted into the New Order of the Templars after showing she had the skill set to hold herself up. Taking this into stride, Mary wasted no time to hit the ground running, trying her damnedest to not only protect those who need to be helped, but better herself.
Traits
Trait #1 Heightened Strength
Despite being a mere human, Mary trains constantly to keep her stamina as high as she possibly can, leaving her to be able to take a surplus of damage before falling out. With brute training for hours on end a day, Mary is able to lift heavier items and throw things that are heavier than her body mass. However, this is for short spurts of time due to still being human, her energy is sometimes very sparse.
Trait #2 Heightened Senses
Even though she is blind in one eye, Mary is very adept with her hearing, which makes her much more aware of her surroundings than normal because of her blind spot being so large. She's well aware of what some sounds are due to her training so hard, she could hear someone cock a gun from a few feet away, aim and shoot away, with nine times out of ten nailing whoever she's targeting in a pretty juicy spot.
