Oh wow an infamous rp! If you guys are accepting I would love to join!
Name: Merry Lambert
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Appearance:
ThisSide: Neutral, but could easily be manipulated either way
Personality: To someone who has just met her, Merry appears to be strangely calm all of the time. She always talks with a relaxed voice and her body language mimics this. Her muscles never seem tense and her eyes have a slight cloud to them that makes it seem like she might not always be 'there'. She is also extremely respectful. If you are older then her then she will listen to anything you say and will do anything you ask her to. The only exception to this is police officers. Once she gets to know someone, however a more childlike side of her emerges. Like most other children, Merry loves to talk to other people. She can make a conversation out of almost anything, however this sometimes comes as a bad thing since she doesn't understand when she needs to be quiet. She also has the tendency to turn things into games, maybe as a way of dealing with fear and stress.
On rare occasions Belle sometimes falls into tantrums. These are seemingly random, one time she might be able to deal with something but the next time it might set her off. For instance, getting slapped might not seem to effect her while stubbing her toe might cause her to scream and cry.
It takes a lot of work to get close to Merry, both physically and mentally. She often tries to avoid people unless told not to and will always act very quietly around people as if scared of messing up and getting in trouble. Merry finds it easier to get along with other conduits, especially those who promise they won't be hurting her. Or if they bring cookies.
Biography: Merry lived a very peaceful and happy life before her powers started showing. She lived in a small town, one in which all of the neighbors knew each other and were all friendly, with her mother. Her mother, although raising a young girl as a single mother, was given lots of support from her work colleagues at the police station. The two of them lived together in their peaceful little house and Merry couldn't be happier. However, having a mother who worked as a police officer, she was exposed to a lot of information about the Conduits. The small town wasn't given much access to the DUP, so many normal police officers became equip to help keep the peace, her mother included.
Bio Terrorist. She heard the word all of the time. But she never thought she would be on the receiving end.
She began showing powers when she was six years old. Her mother had asked her to help untangle some Christmas lights when she found them easily controlled. The young Merry was terrified, she knew what happened to bio terrorists. Her mother assured Merry that she would never turn her in, and this would just be their own little secret. And so it was. Merry started to become very reclusive, keeping away from any sorts of wires. Merry found it harder and harder to hide her powers as time went on, it was almost painful for her to suppress them. Eventually the police were notified. It is unknown to Merry who called the police, if it was a scared neighbor or someone seeing faint movement in wires near Merry.
Several days after Merry's seventh birthday, a squad of armed police officers arrived at Merry's house. Terried, Merry's mother instructed her to hide in the house while she tired to pacify the police officers. Merry stayed huddled in her bedroom, until she heard a gunshot and the sound of her mother screaming. Merry remembers crawling to her bedroom window, and seeing her mother fall to the ground in a puddle of blood, as well as an officer holding a gun out in front of him, aimed where her mother once stood. Merry let out a horrified scream unlike she had ever made before. And then her mind goes completely blank. The next thing she can remember is waking up on her driveway, the police cars and officers around her completely constricted by wires.
And DUP cars pulling up next to her, a Miss Brooke Augustine stepping out.
She spent the next five years locked up in Curdun Cay. She was kept away from other Conduits, always hooked up to wires and machines. The experiments only made Merry feel stronger. Freedom only brought fear to Merry. Curdun Cay had become a home to Merry, Brooke Augustine had become an almost maternal figure to her. Outside of Curdun Cay she had nothing, no home and no family. She now spends her time in an old abandoned apartment building in New York, which is now been altered for her own safety and comfort. Thick wires completely cover the top half of the building. She keeps to herself and takes care of herself. If living in Curdun Cay taught her anything, the only person who can take care of you is you.
Power: Wire Conduit.
Power Abilities-: (Taken shamelessly from an Infamous fan site) This ability allows you to effortlessly stretch, knot and tie cables and/or cords reaching nearly a mile in length. It may even grant the ability to create additional wire-based appendages.
I also took this
concept art as an inspiration for her powers.
-Her powers can be used to create orbs of wire around her opponent either to strangle or capture.
-She can use her powers to create additional wire-based appendages as weapons.
-She can weave thick walls of wire around her to form protection from incoming attacks.
-She can launch herself into the air and travel around the city using wires in a spiderman way.
Wire is one of those powers that is easy to learn but hard to master, Merry might often find herself struggling to control her powers at a large scale.
Her powers have also been worked into her 'home'. The building she resides in is completely wound tight with wire, making it near impossible for someone without powers to get in. This is a form of connection for Merry, keeping out any potential threats.
Other: Merry really likes junk food.
