Appearance
Physical quirks
Ambidextrous. She regularly switches her utensils from hand to hand while she eats.
She tends to use her telekinesis for way more than is necessary. When she's lost in her emotions, she tends to flare up. This appears as a pulsing blue-green aura.
Apparel & Accessories
Mercy's clothes tend to cover up a lot of skin, especially on her arms. No matter the weather or occasion, she always wears black or dark green gloves.
She wears a light green tunic that drops down to her knees, over tights. It has cut slits down both sides for more mobility. This is a holdover from her esper combat days.
Her shoes are noticeably beat-up sandals repaired over and over with various colors of string.
Specialized Equipment
Mercy wears a blue band that wraps around her ears and goes around the back of her head. This is an Iteali, or in English, a psychic anchor. She can adjust dials on the right side of the anchor to control her psychic sensitivity. She lessens the sensitivity in crowds, and increases it when giving readings.
Her weapon is a set of psychic blades that are known as Cometlights. They are made of magically strengthened glass, and controlled through telekinesis. These weapons are often looked on as just for show, but Mercy can use them effectively.
Special abilities
Mercy is a skilled psychic, able to read and manipulate the mind. She can tap into those with a similar emotional state as her, referring to this state as a "frequency". With more time to concentrate, she can read memories and control thoughts.
Mercy's psychic sense is clairaudience, or clear hearing. This is the sense through which she receives "psychic information", such as telepathy.
She also has a form of telekinesis that involves visualizing the link between the objects and her hands. String telekinesis is highly precise, and Mercy has enough practice to attach her strings to 8 of her 10 fingers.
Mentality
Personal history
My mother tried her best. My father did not.
I was born, surprisingly, on Earth. I lived in the Philippines until I was thirteen- more on that later.
I was an outcast among my peers. I don't think too hard about it, but I was too shy and sensitive to speak with them properly.
Education
Narra School (Until grade 7, mundane school)
Insight's Revelation (Academy of Psychic Arts, in her first year)
However, she is mostly self taught in regards to magic.
Employment
Does psychic readings on the net. She does tarot readings, spirit advice, and healing. She also publishes her study guides and research papers.
Accomplishments & Achievements
>Survived releasing her own Repression, which took the form of a magical singularity drawing in souls and energy.
>While her Mystic Score is 6.6, only a little over the average, she performs better when she's allowed to make her own methods.
>She grasped the principles of magic rather quickly, but hates to be labeled as a "prodigy".
>She wrote her own spells and magical language out of spite, refusing to use the standard magical language.
Failures & Embarrassments
>She expected her Mystic Score to be much higher, but got overwhelmed during the testing. She scores high on her Clairsense, Telepathy, and Psychokinesis, but lower on her Intuition and Empathy scores. This is a constant sore spot for her.
>She downplays her magical talents out of a fear of becoming too prideful.
>Her ties to Noirnaire are as much of a stain on her reputation as they are on her spirit
Mental Trauma
Mercy is afraid of her own emotions, and constantly wonders if she says the wrong things. She cries a lot more than she'd like to admit, and often feels like she isn't good enough.
She is bitter and cynical, laughing at the concept of true love. Her paranoia leads to a lack of trust. She either has an iron grip on her emotions, or finds them uncontrollable.
Morality & Philosophy
The world isn't worth saving, and that power itself corrupts. This is the reason why those in power rarely get anything done.
person.sexuality
Asexual (and aromantic). She wears a black ace ring, which "diffuses" romantic and sexual attraction towards her.
person.gender_identity
Literally could not give a shit, but presents femininely. She doesn't care what pronouns are used for her.
