Maricella: "Lookin' like a real sausage-fest up in here."

[Avanhelsing]

Ben: “At least all the sausage is good looking sausage. I mean what?”

[Raijinslayer]

"Eh. . . true enough, plus that means I don't have to worry about anyone trying to upstage me. Also, you don't have to hide it if your gay, pretty sure none of the gods really give a shit."

[Avanhelsing]

“Who said anything about hiding? When you’re like me you gotta keep the options open. Regardless of gender. Many great leaders were bisexual. Alexander the Great was bi. “

[Raijinslayer]

"Look, Ben was it? I'm sure you think that was a real interesting bit of historical trivia. It's really not. If you're Bi, just say that your bi, otherwise, you come off as kind of a prick."

[Sloth]

"But did your father give birth to a horse though?"

[Raijinslayer]

"Bring that up one more time and I swear to all the gods that you'll wake up one day without your vocal chords."

[Avanhelsing]

"You have the class of a Billy Goat. I can be so much more of a prick. I do desire that we be better strangers."

[Doktor Faust]

@Clever Hans No path to dangerous for a Scion of Papa Legba, welcome abort. Accepted!

@Sloth I really hope the Loki birthing a horse story makes its way into the next Marvel movie.

[Doktor Faust]

@Everyone if you are accepted just move the chars into the character section.

[RoccanIronclad]

My internet access is spotty I will get one up as soona as I can.

[Raijinslayer]

@Avanhelsing"Oh honey. . . you seem to think I care about your opinion. Sorry to say that you're not really important enough to go through the effort of playing nice with, not to mention you seem less interesting to talk to than that wall over there. Honestly, I expected something impressive of the adopted son of Osiris, but I guess even Chief gods can have poor taste sometimes."

Maricella WIP

Name: Maricella
Age: 20
Pantheon: Atzlanti
Divine Parent: Tlazoteol
Appearance: Mari is a drop-dead gorgeous young woman, with luscious rolling waves of silky black hair that reaches past her shoulders, dark tan skin that is utterly devoid of any flaws or blemishes, a body that inspires either lust or envy in everyone she who sees it, and a bewitching pair of golden hazel eyes that almost seem to gleam with sensual energy. But her's is not a subtle beauty, far from it, she flaunts her God-given looks with the ease of a queen. And while she doesn't really need it, she does apply light applications of makeup to further enhance her features, such as black eyeliner, faint gold eyeshadow, and perhaps a light application of lipstick to match her skin tone if she's in the mood.

Dressing in only the finest of chic fashions for any occasion, her wardrobe can vary by the hour if she's feeling fickle, but most of the time she'll be seen in some form of form-fitting dress or outfit that, while hugging every delectable curve, leaves enough to one's imagination to inspire the fantasies of both men and women alike. To get into specifics, her clothing styles tend to include some variations of black and gold coloration(the colors that just so happen to be associated with her godly mother) and tend to serve their function as merely ways to enhance her own looks rather, and as such, tend to be somewhat understated as far as fashion goes.

That being said, she does have more practical attire to choose from as well, as the life of a Scion often means having to get your hands dirty, no matter how much she might not want to do so. Often, this comes down to a classic combination of a light jacket, a shirt, jeans, and appropriate shoes. All still being of the highest quality money can buy, of course, but less prone to either wardrobe malfunctions or getting in her way during a fight.

History: Maricella has never truly wanted for anything material in her life. Born the daughter of a wealthy CEO who doted on her every whim, gifted everything she could ever want, and almost ensured a decadent future, you'd think her life was a great one, wouldn't you?

But Maricella, even back then, was never truly happy. And she also never truly loved her father. As soon as she was capable of properly perceiving the world around her, she could since the filth that polluted every ounce of his soul. This feeling of discomfort grew into disgust as she grew older, her beauty already apparent to all who saw her. Especially to her father, who would often mutter about how much she looked like her mother. It was something she learned to hate, as was the mysterious woman behind it who had so enraptured that it wouldn't be wrong to call him obsessed, only to disappear without a word and only leaving a mysterious child in her place.

She was never a daughter to him, only unripened fruit that he so eagerly desires to taste, and it revolted Maricella to her core. But she learned something very important from her father, and that is that with just a flutter of the eyebrows and a little playing along, he would rush to do whatever she wanted. His obsession left her putty in her hands, and even as a little girl, she made great use of her father's perversions in order to get what she wanted out of him. Bearing witness to the way he bent to her every whim so easily, it made her feel beyond empowered.

From that moment on, she continued to grow, both her beauty and in her skills as a seductress and a manipulator of men and women alike. From grade school to high school, she quickly gained a reputation as queen among queen bee's, who could easily decieve any teacher in believing her to be an innocent angel while taking over the social hierarchy of her schools with an iron fist. Not only that, but

Abilities/Skills: When it comes to skills, most will find Maricella to be far from lacking interms of social and mental acumen. She has made a habit all her life of using her looks and charm to get what she wants, and when the proves insufficient, she has little issue in turning to more underhanded tactics, whether it be blackmailing a teacher with photos of him "taking advantage(read: falling prey to her seductions)" of her in order to secure a good grade or letter of recommendation, to using a poor fool's crush on her to make him humiliate a rival of hers and take all the blame. And with her natural charm and charismatic nature, he would do so gladly and willingly, such is her ability to inspire devotion, awe, and fear in others, and her skill in using it. Not only that, but despite her somewhat ruthless nature, few people can claim to have a clearer understanding people than she does, as her ability to make peope tell her every dirty little secret they have.

More than just a pretty face, however, Mari is highly intelligent, able to understand and pick up complex academic ideas and concepts with ease. Not only that but as one who has often found themselves on the top of many social powerstructures, she has learned to be highly aware of not only those around her, but of her surroundings as well. This has often proven to be a crucial skill when it comes to reading others, paying attention to every seemingly insignificant detail for something that will give her the edge she needs. The one thing that surprises most upon meeting Maricella, however, is her chosen field of study: Medicine. Specifically, she wishes to be a General Surgeon(and is already insanely skilled at it to the point that some are calling her a prodigy),and when asked why by most, she answers in a way that most find to be against her character: She likes helping people, and that seems like as good away as any to do it. To most people, this seems to be absolutely ridiculous claim for the woman who seems hellbent on making life miserable for anyone in her way. However, any taking a closer look at her actions would notice how, even at her worst, she never goes out of her way to genuinely hurt someone, and only threatens the reputations of those either directly in her way or who have things in their closet that would justify the loss of social standing if revealed. While most certainly not a kind in anyway, Maricella is not a woman who destroys people for no reason, and the few times that she has destroyed someone's reputation, they have all been people who more than deserved, and who she used right up to the point where she was done with them.

Despite her rather dominating presence, one will find that Maricella is actually rather weak, at least in terms of pure strength. When it comes to her dexterity and stamina, however, she proves herself much more capable. Throughout her school life, she has participated in gymnastic competitions at her father's behest, and despite his true intentions for dooing so, she quite enjoyed the sport and proved to be uite good at it. Her constant practice, more for exercise and fun than any real competitve desires, have kept her very fit and toned, as well as improving her natural flexibility a great deal, which has proven to be as helpful for her life as a Scion as it has been for her love life. Another helpful attribute for these things is stamina and fortitude, and Maricella is surprisingly capable in both of these aspects as well. Me

Supernatural Abilities: As the daughter of Tlazoteol, it should prize no one that her natural beauty, charm, and ability to twist others to her whims only grew after her Visitation. Her beauty has grown so much that she can bring all eyes on her just by making an entrance or showing some skin, her dazziling smile and way with words can make it difficult for anyone to grow angry with her, and those same words can be quite compelling when it comes to pulling out dirty little secrets from the naughty boys and girls who try to hide them from. A fool's errand, as she can always since the guilt, shame, and sin that come from such spiritual filth, especially if her words happen to bring it to mind. Her association with the Atzlanti pantheon has also lets her make use of the power of blood sacrifice, spilling her own blood in order to empower her efforts in any endeavor.

The touch of divinity has sparked in her in other ways besides these, however, such as the ability to assess another's condition with just a glance, the ability to breathe underwater and communicate with it's creatures, learn complex subjects with ease, and even emulate her mother to an extent by being to gain sustenance and nutrition from anything she eats, no matter how foul, without suffering any risks to her own health(that doesn't mean she will find it appetizing, however).

Birthrights: During her Visititation, Maricella was offered 3 gifts to use as she liked. The first was a set of makeup that served to mimic Tlazoteol's own iconic gold and black facepaint, but with a more modern flair. Seeming to most as nothing more than just a set of gold eyeshadow and black matte lipstick, the magic of this is a devious enchantment to be certain. While already skilled in matters of seducing the answers she wants out of others, the make-up makes serves to infuse Maricella's being with a silver of Tlazoteol's own presence, making it even more difficult to resist her, no matter who the individual is.

After that, her mother suddenly locked her into the most breath-taking kiss of her life in order to place an enchantment in her daughter's blood. By cutting open her flesh and leting the blood spill to the ground, Maricella is able to summon a Scarlet Coatl to her side, the winged serpent serving as both a companion, protector, and mode of transportation for Mari in times of strife.

For her final gift, Mari was given a medical scapel with a blade made from enchanted obsidian that would never chip, dull, or break and, more importantly, possessed a insane level of sharpness. No matter how faint the touch, any flesh that comes in contact with the edge of the scalpel will be cut deep enough to bleed, thus making it an exceptional ritualistic tool, and a good emergency weapon incase things get a little too hectic for her.

Misc: Mari often carries around a small handgun and a taser on her person, and is actually a pretty good shot with the former. A girl can never be too careful, after all.

Mari is also a fairly talented singer.

I think I've gotten down everything but the history fairly well, but if you need any clarifications or anything on her abilities/skills, I'm definitely open to them. Also, all ya boys better be sure to protect your Queen because while she's one tough bitch, she's kinda of useless in a straight up fight.

@Raijinslayer
(Real talk, Ben and Maricella need to be friends. They are great.)

“Oh sweetheart,it seems you are as vapid and air headed as you look. If you had any brains in your hair, you would know that Osiris is not the chief god of Egypt. Not even close. Amun is considered to be the chief god where Osiris is the god of the underworld. He’s closer to Hades than Zeus to make it easier for you. Or you could answer Ra since He and Amun combined into Amun Ra during the New Kingdom. Regardless, Osiris is not the chief god. He’s important because Ancient Egypt was big on getting into the underworld or duat. Nice try though.”

[Raijinslayer]

@AvanhelsingKek, ye. It's good banter, though she'd probably reply to never say "sweetheart" ever again. He really can't pull it off.

[Avanhelsing]

He’s quite charismatic when he wants to be.

We do need more bruisers or people who can fight a little better. So many talkative people.

[Raijinslayer]

@AvanhelsingKek, ye. I mean, we have a lot of fighting people, just no real tanks or dedicated fighters. Instead, we have the treasure hunter/adventure, the grizzled cop, the street kid with magic, I forgot what Rainy's gimmick is, and the Honeypot.

[Tominas]

@Doktor Faust Well I really should have brought this up first thing, but I made assumptions that Norse myth had already happened. But Whitewolf's wiki says that Baldur is an option as a divine parent, which means that he isn't dead? I only ask because it REALLY matters if I'm making a daughter of Hodr.

So is the handsome god dead from accidental/on-purpose Loki induced fratricide, or no?

EDIT: I say this, but we also have a son of Loki, who was imprisoned in a cave with venom dripping in his eyes until Ragnarok after the same event. ...I'll roll with "Baldur died, but it's Scion" unless told otherwise.

[Raijinslayer]

@TominasNot the GM, but from what I gather, if Bladur is dead, then the world as we know it would be fucked beyond belief because that means we'd enter ragnork again. So I think the best interpretation is that ragnork is a prophecy and hasn't happened yet, but will happen one day.

Edit: As for the loki thing, They're gods. Loki may mainly be trapped tied to a stone, but he can still send aspects of himself out into the mortal world.

[Avanhelsing]

@Tominas
I mean there has to be things we over look for the game. If not then we have to talk about the time that the Aesir basically caused WW2 and all it's nasty things because of Ragnarok... Yah the later Scion books get odd.
