Extrait
Name: Mary Stryfe
Alias: none
Age: 24
Powers and Skills: living blood. Due to horrid rituals performed by her father, Mary's blood possesses its own sentience. It can move on its own, solidify into any shape, and change its density to become as hard as iron. It has its own senses which it can use to alert Mary to things around her. It also gives Mary a heightened ability to heal as the blood coagulates and pulls open wounds closed on their own. (No wolverine or deadpool, but efficient non the less)
Weaknesses: aside from a Phenethylamine dependency, her power uses her actual blood so if over taxed she will pass out or even die of blood loss.
Personality: Mary is a sweet, lovable girl with a sense of humor and a winning smile, though no moral filter. The constant extra voice in her head leaves her spacey sometimes, and having listened to it all her life, she tends to favor its opinions. Unfortunately those opinions do not always have humanities best interests at heart.
Biggest Claim to Fame: Arkham University Hospital 24 years ago, and Arkham Middle School slaughter 10 years ago.
How Long Have You Been in Prison: 6 years voluntarily.
Brief History: Mary was conceived to be a vessel to an unknown thing her father's cult worshipped. The ritual was designed to kill the mind of the child while leaving the body alive to act as host, but due to a miscalculation Mary remained whole, the thing merged with her blood, and it turned on the cult, slaughtering them all along with any other human on half the floor of the hospital. Mary was the only surviver and no clues were left of the attacker except that all the victims seemed to have been missing their brains. Mary's mother supported the two of them with the father's insurance, and a healthy Windfall, and lived a normal life until she was 14. The only thing that could be considered odd was Mary's imaginary friend, who Mary said lived inside her. Mary would talk to this friend almost all the time until her mother got her to never do it in public.
When Mary was 14, she had her first period. The blood flow instantly came to life, ravenous after 14 years of nothing. For the second time, Arkham was racked by horror and grief as nearly a hundred students and teachers mysteriously died, their brains missing. Mary ran away and was assumed to be among the shredded remains of students scattered throughout the school.
Mary made it to Gotham, where she lived on the streets. She let her blood out to feed regularly on the homeless, gang members, and stray animals. She learned to use her blood as a weapon and armor, as tools, and companionship for the next four years until she had a run in with the Batman. After studying her blood Batman arranged to have her confined with a daily supply of Phenethylamine, usually in the form of enhanced chocolates. Mary willingly went. She does not pose a threat to the guards except when she let's her blood out to practice. She does not wish to escape, and has even helped the guards stop a couple riots in her 6 year stay in isolation.
