PERSONALITY :
Marina is typically care-free. Your happy-go-lucky type of girl. She's bright and cheery, but has that dark aura around her which is unfortunate given how thoughtful and kind she is to people she cares about. Marina applies the effort where it's needed most, where most people just skip over. Marina can also be pretty energetic, and lively, ans she's know for her talking but talking really holds of littele interest to her. In terms of talk, she only does so to maintain a connection or figure out information she needs to come by. People would love to have her around if they only got to know her better, or if she allowed it. Some may question how it is she became this way with such a foul and uncertain background, but there were two options given to her; 1) become rude, and spiteful or 2) be better, be considerate and like somebody she'd want as a friend. That's what she did. She learned to not take life so serious. Whilst being a free-spirited type of person, she's learned when to draw the lines and around who to hold the reign back from. Marina strives to see things more realistically than for the dream or fantasy of what could be.

Marina tends to catch onto things a little quicker than the people around her. She is an observer, and pays close attention to things she sees, hears, smells, and touches but that also plays a lot into her mutant abilities. She's able to sense those things first hand so that she can make a clear path as to what to do. She does so while keeping up conversations, and acting aloof to whats going on around her, but has the perfect plan to couhnter when things hit the fan.

Growing up, Marina learned that it was best to say what was on her mind. Her caretakers expressed that she shouldn't be restricted and even though she recieved some backlash from it, it made her understand how important it was to stand her ground in what she believed in. Through her own personal expieriences, she's learned that people come and go, people choose who they want to be whether it's rude, or passive. She's made it a point to surround herself with the best crowd possible that fits her person. The energy and liveliness of her friends tends to surge through her, she projects an out-giong personality that they tend to adore and flock toward.

However, Marina can close herself -- more like her feelings and empathy -- off from the people around her. She can get too absorbed in her own thoughts that she forgets that the people around her have their own opinions and thoughts that can help her out of her own rut. Marina gets impatient moreso when she's just not feeling in her right mind. She won't want to wait in lines, or wait for something as small as her online order of food to arrive.

Marina is prone to taking risks that no normal people would make because she's not normal to begin with. She has a life on the edge and tries to make her life one worth living with what she was given. She doesn't take opportunities for granted and is into the idea of "trying everything once". She absolutely hates the thought of "waht-if's", or "what could have been". Her life is already unstructured but she is also rather defiant in nature, so you won't be catching her beating to anybodies drum but her own. Some people might argue that she doesn't even need a man to hold her steady, but things like that just find her off-guard. She never dreamt to have somebody stand with her, but life seems to take it's own course. Among her unstructured lifestyle, is her heavily unorganized disposition. Neither one of her hide-outs is a place you want to stay too long because she's piled things up after every personal mission that the place just collects papers and dust. Neither does she want to sort or clean out because they're easily despensable. Marina doens't have that kind of time on her hands.

BACKGROUND :
On the night of December 18, 1995, Marina Nox Leija was born into darkness, and left on the stoop of the wealthiest family in Mexico with only her name clipped to her blanket. The family Cortes had no children and worked as physicians and surgeons. They weren't outraged by this fiasco, but they were worried that the mother of this baby was in trouble. They put investigators on the case immediately to find the baby's mother, but to no avail. On December 25th, they officially adopted Marina as their own. Shortly after beinging her into their home, the family began having problems with Marina. They kept finding dead animals in her wake. Furthermore, not long after she began to sit up on her own, Marina's great-grandmother died in her presence though the Cortes family has no idea the cause of death. They thought it to be a coincidence, but with further examination, her great-grandmother was in perfect health. There was no reason for her to have been dead so quickly that nobody would have taken notice. The Cortes family was terrified that Marina may have had something to do with the death and sought to have her removed immediately.

In January of 1997, Marina was adopted by the family Santiago in Alcapulco. This family couldn't have children of their own,and they felt blessed to have Marina with them. Things were calm for quite some time as Marina had to adjust to her new family. But just like the last, strange occurances started happening. The same way dead animals made their way into the home, Marina started bringing them back to life in a faint because the Santiago's were terrified to see dead animals in their vacinity. She thought bringing them to life would lessen their terror, but it only made things worse on her. In April of 1999, the Santiago's put Marina back up for adoption. They called her the devil.

Finally in 2002, Marina was taken by a couple in Baltimore. At only seven years old, many people feared what she could do, and secluded her, but the Kensington's did not. When they were able to bring her home, they treated her like a normal perosn and she was confused as to why. Nobody wanted her, she figured in her time in and out of homes. She was a nuisance, but not to the Kensingtons. She found that the kensingtons had four children, not including her. Each of them had their own kind of knack, much similar to her own. It was the first time she felt welcomed, and normal. Marina grew with them, and they taught her very important things. They tought her to defend and stand up for herself, but to be wary of when and where she was going to use her powers. It was smart, she'd never considered it. And although they didn't have her exact abilities, they helped her figure everything out. When she thought everything was too perfect, she felt the need to escape before they could get rid of her. In early 2005, Marina took a wad of the Kensington's money and took a plane to Kissimmee. Truthfully, the Kensington's didn't look for her right away, they figured that if she needed the time away, they'd allow it to her. But when more than a week passed, they got frantic. Each family member was assigned to track and locate Marina before anybody else did. They found Marina two months later in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The ten year old Marina was distraught and enthused at the same time. She was angry that they hadn't found her, but happy that now they finally had. She didn't know that they would after the first month. The Kensington's took her back to house Kensington and scolded her there. They instilled the dangers the world was and what would happen to her if any kind of special task force agents were to get a hold of her. The conversation was a real eye opener for her.

When they taught her all they could and she felt she could no lnger benefit from them, they gave Marina two options. It was quite clear that no matter the option, Marina would take off. So she did. Marina went anywhere, and everywhere her heart desired. She learned so much, and did her own little research on mutants. A lot of the cases dissapointed her, and just when she started to feel alone again, she found Xeno. [ Refer to the Love Interest section of the application ... ]

relationship report

CONNECTIONS :

Drina
"I trust her with my life"

— Best Friend : Drinacourus "Drina" Abelettian-Andor VII / Celestial / 5 out of 5
Drina, after quite significant issues, has become the person Marina trusts with her life; one of the only people who has crafted a bond with her. And, when it comes down to roots and where they come from, things like that have molecular irrelevance to them, because in several ways, they have a plethora of similarities. They can spend hours upon hours communicating with one another with no inturruption. They've always got things to talk about, that's what best friends do, huh? When it feels just terribly normal and the conversation flows without much effort.
But of course, that's not always the case. They've worked together more times than not, and they're one heck of a team! That is how they met after all.
Whatever you'd like to say, these two are thick as theives.

The Cortes Family
The first family

— Catalina & Abelino Cortes / Physician & Surgeon (respectively) / --
Most notable for being the first family that Marina lived with, she has no memories with the two. She's not gotten into contact with them, or tried to stretch an olive branch because they probably just don't ever want to hear from her again. She'll allow them that.

The Santiago Family
The Second family

— Valentina & Thiago Santiago / Software Developer & Financial Advisor (respectively) / 76%
Because more of her memories are prominent with the Santiago's, she has more of a hurt, more of a bond with the family. She aches for them and is ashamed to contact them or see how they are doing. She doesn't want to know if they ever got another child or not because she'd like to think of herself as their only daughter, the one that solved their problem, but she thinks she holds a guilt that maybe she scared them out of children entiely. She just doesn't want to know. Ignorance is bliss. She'll leave it at that.

The Kensignton Family
The final family

— Family? Well, Close enough : Harris & Molly Kensington w/ their children Edward James, Carla Beam, Ember Leigh, and Bronny Bennet Kensington / 5 out of 5
The kensington family. The only place Marina felt like she belonged. They were a group of confident mutants. After elaving them, she doesn't know how she everg got so lucky, or how they never got caught. If anything, they were great at hiding. That's not how she wanted to be. So even though she created new, better memories with them, she knew she couldn't stay forever. She tries her best to stay in contact with them for updates and what not, but sometimes its just impossible to get a hold of them.

Team Infinity
"I belong with them."

— True Happiness : The Infinity Team / 5 out of 5

interactions

— Considering she's a vigilante in Mexico, and she's never really gone out of her way to meet any other mutants/supers her connection list is rather short. Xeno, however knows more of the Avengers and of other mutants than she does considering their different roles and backgrounds.

LOVE INTEREST : Xeno Proudlove (fc: tom payne)
BACK UP LOVE INTEREST : Jaxx (fc: luke hemmings)

BIRTHDATE & AGE : November 24 + 30 y/o

PERSONALITY:

— From a young age, Xeno has always felt different than the people around him. He's never been shy of friends, but the thing is htat he's never felt like he fit in. He was always insecure about being the "weird" one that he constantly tried to be more like them in order to be accepted by them.

— Xeno wants to make deep and lasting bonds with people he comes in contact with. He doesn't want to know wabout what you did on the weekend, or how you think the weather is. He wants to know what's going on in your life, he craves to get into the depths to see you for who you truly are, the you that nobody else can see. He can see right through all the fake facades, and it doesn't fool him one bit.

— Xeno prefers to have loose plans as opposed to winging things. He's free to move things around, but won't throw himself off the edge with plans either.

— He has tendencies to be shy, quiet, and withdrawn as well as charming, fun, and hilarious. For Xeno, it's all about mood, the situation as a whole, energy levels, and most important, the people he's with.

— There's always that time when somebody will approach Xeno with problems, and he tries his best not to give advice or opinions unless he's asked for them. He instead prefers to ask questions to help him better understand the situation and gather his own feelings about it. From time to time, he'll tell his own stories of a time when something similar happened to himself so that you could draw your own lesson. He can see the path you should take but he won't want to tell you so that you do it because he said so, he'd rather it be your own decission. This is a big reason why people consider him to be an ace advice giver.

— Xeno prefers his alone tim, but thats not to say he can ALWAYS be alone. Eventually he needs to reunite with people he's comfortable with. His people, in other words are a group of very close friends who truly get him. He can't get enough of deep conversations with them, and hanging out with his circle normally boost his energy.

— He has been known to cut people out of his life when they've hurt him one too many times. It's not that he enjoys cutting people out of his life, rather he does it to protect himself. And, even though it may look like he has it together on the outside, he's extremely sensitive inward, and he's especially sensitive to peoples words and actions.

— One of his biggest problems is that hetries so hard to make others happy that he forgets and completely neglects to make himself happy.

— He feels like he see's precisely what somebody is feeling and believes he knows what they need deep down. He's not always right, but he tends to be more preceptive than most people.

— Xeno has always felt that he was destined for more than just a 9-5 job. He wants to change the world, take it by storm. The problem is that he doesn't know what his "purpose" is, or he has an inkling, but doesn't know hoe to get there or acheive it.

— Xeno almost always has a sinking feeling that he could be doing more with his life. This constantly results in him having self-improvement projects (like learning how to cook healthy meals, setting better boundaries, or getting better at articulating himself). Sometimes he just ends up pushing himself too hard to achieve the "perfect" life for himself.

— More times than not, Xeno turns to people-pleasing as a defense mechanism. He's sensitive, so he can get really hurt or bothered when somebody criticizes or dissapoints him. So, he's come to the realization that people cant criticize him if he's making them happy.

— Xeno can sense the mood of the room almost instantaneously after walking in and often, he absorbs the mood of the people around him. If somebody is excited, he gets excited, if soembody is anxious, he becomes anxious as well. He tends to gravitate toward calm, centered people so he doesn't have to deal with so much emotional garbage.

— Xeno is drawn to high-quality things like good food, nice clothes, and anything else that has good craftmanship. As much as he hates admitting it, the way things look is important to him. He likes being surrounded by beauty, and he tends to have sophisicated, refined tastes. But he's also a minimalist at heart. He'd rather have one or two really nice shirts than ten mediocre ones.

— Xeno cares deeply about the people in his life, but they'll probably never know just how much he cares, because he tends to keep his feelings mostly to himself. He has trouble articulating his emotions, even though he feels them very intensely. And normally when he falls in love with someone, he falls hard.

— Xeno is usually thoughtful, conscientious, and considerate. People who are not as conscientious can seem callous and even cruel to him.

— Xeno loves to learn, especially when it comes to psychologies, self-improvement, spirituality, and certain sciences; in his case, biologies and chemistries.

— When everybody else is busy gossiping, discussing celebrities or talking about other trivial things, Xeno often finds himself thinking about the bigger more whimsical things; such as outer space, time travel, human nature, the meaning of life and ther more epic topics. He rarely tries to steer the conversations in that direction though because he doesn't think that other people would be interested.

— Xeno often times feels compelled to get things done. He often writes to-do lists, and he enjoys checking things off of them. However, if he doesn't have a goal to work toward, after a while, he feels lost and very much bored.

— When Xeno is passionate about something, it feels like nothing can stand in his way. The quote, "The impossible takes just a little bit longer." is what he looks toward in times like these.

— Other people see and notice that he is wise, insightful, and almost spiritual. Most of the times, people come to him for advice and emotional support. Xeno relishes his role as the "wise one", and he likes being needed. However, sometimes it just becomes too much for him to handle. He's an introverd, for crying out loud, and sometimes he just wishes everyone would solve their own problems and leave him alone for a whille.

LOVE STORY:

Manhattan, September 2013.
Marina has always been a runner. She never stays in one place long enough to be pinpointed for her nature. The first time Xeno came across Marina was in Midtown Manhattan. He'd felt a mixed pull from her being and followed her out of sheer curiosity. He wanted to know her intent if not entirely bad, but not entirely good. Marina didn't notice him following her until the aura was nearly overtaking her. It was too heavy, weighing down on her soul. She felt like she was dying from the inside out. Out of breath, she willed herself foward, somewhere solitude to deal with this aweful presence away from prying eyes. Marina reached the abandonded floor she was squatting at and her chest was on fire (refer to her weakness section). The room was pitch black and quiet as she fell to the floor, grasping at her chest. The pressure became too much to handle as he climbed through the window. The intensity in his eyes dies the second he lays eyes on her. He rushes to her at once, but she flinches away, "Don't touch me!" She squeals. 'I can heal you', he thinks. But there is no flesh wound he can see. "What are you?" He asks. "The devil." She responds, out of breath. The black of her pupils bleed into her iris and push deeper, flooding both her eyes in a black darkness.
"What are you doing in Manhattan? Explain yourself." He commanded. Marina didn't know if she could trust this man, but she was in no position to be on bad terms with him. So, she told him everything he needed to know about her. Everything having to do with her powers and weaknesses, including the one she suffered from right then. He was speechless, and suddenly self-conscious. He backed away, back towrd the window he crawled through not five minutes ago. He doesn't know what to say or do, instead he looks around, feeling even worse that he's invaded her space and caused her this unbareable pain. He thinks he should go, but before he makes a move she says, "Don't go. Please don't."Xeno wants to, but his conscious weighs down on him. "You know as well as I do, I shouldn't." And Xeno is about to duck out of the window when Marina stops him again, "Wait, before you go." She points toward a stack of scattered papers. Xeno looks at Marina for a few moments, expecting more of an explanation. Marina picks up on it, "I told you my story. You owe me yours at a later time. You know what to do." Xeno looks into her pitch black eyes for another second before he turns to the papers and scribles down his contact information. When he slips out of the room, he gives her one last look before he dissapears.

Prague, February 2014.
Xeno had lost hope of hearing from Marina after the fourth month came and went. He was in the Czech Republic on S.H.I.E.L.D business when his communicator blew his cover. In the midst of recovering a stolen file from the target, he answers the call, surprised to hear the recieving end. "Marina? This isn't the best time." He leaps into the air, following his target closely. "I know that, I can sense your unease a mile away." That caught him off-guard. 'Where are you?' He looks around, to see if she's anywhere nearby. "You're wasting your time looking around. your target is getting away. What do you want me to do?" Xeno recollects himself. "Take 'em down if you can. But don't kill them. They have something I need." Xeno lands on his feet gracefully. "Got it boss." The communicator cuts off and he continues on feet. He knows he's close to the scene when he senses Marina's signature. She's just taken what he needed to recover when he approaches. "Head's up." She tosses the flash drive over to him, and he pockets it, moving closer. As he does so, he can see her resolve falling to pieces. All her strength shatters. Her legs give, but he's there to catch her before she hits the ground. In a swift movement, they're in the air and she clutches his clothes tightly in her palm. The ride to his head quarters is quiet. He lays her down on his bed gently and sits at the foot of the bed. He knows he should keep it to himself, but the words are out before he can stop them, "Why did you come to me if all I do is hurt you?" And for Marina, it's not what he says, its how he says it. It takes all of her willpower to make it to his side. "You know me Xe." She takes his hand in hers and looks him in the eye. "You are the only person in this world that knows me more than anybody else. Believe it or not...you know more about me than my own birth parents. People see me and they run. They don't spare a second glance my way. Not only am I a minority in this world, I'm a mutant, somebody people don't appreciate. Stuck somewhere between being alive and dead. You're the only person that gives a sh*t. I'm not asking you to be around me and watch me...deteriorate in your presence, All i'm asking is that you give our friendship a try. I don't have anyone else, and I can really use somebody, anybody." From her small speech, he could tell that she's suffered in her time. That she's desperate for somebody, anybody to be there for her. She's tired of people turning away, and he's stuck. He can't say no, because he doesn't want to.

Harajuku, October 2015.
They'd met up several times before meeting again in Harajuku. After having worked together (unnofically) now for two years, they've come to read each other in and out. They've figured out attack and defense patterns to use with each other and how to work best. But, Harajuku was the final straw that made and broke their relationship. They'd had a sucessful mission thusfar, but it still bothered Xeno that Marina had to hide the uncomfort she harbored when he was around. Though Marina felt less and less with each encounter, deep down it did take a lot out of her to mask the feeling of being weighed down. His sudden outburst caught her off-guard because for the two years they'd met with each other over fifty times now, he never once snapped like the way he had done that day. It was then that she realized what he meant to her, what she meant to him and what they'd been dancing around for some time.
"Please, don't go." She begged, holding tightly onto his leather jacket. "Don't make me stay." He whispers. "Don't make me." He turns his back to her, but his fingers linger down her forearm, reaching for her fingers. "Marina, I dream about you more times than I can count. But, I can't bare being the cause of your downfall. I won't stand around and render you useless. So, don't ask me to." She didn't speak. He felt the drop in her emotions. Heard her hiccups and turned to the confirmation, her tears spilled and made their mark down her cheeks. Xeno pulled her into his arms and hugged her until she stopped crying. His being wanted to kiss her so badly, but he would not want to leave her wanting more, it was too cruel a fate. He couldn't even bring himself to look her in the eye, but he kissed her forehead and forced hiself to tear hismself from her. "Goodbye, my love." He whispered before shutting the door. He was gone.

San Miguel de Allende, June 2016-Present.
Marina had tried to get a hold of Xeno several times since leaving Harajuku, but he stopped answering her phone calls at first, then his number was unavailable, and she couldn't pin him down or get any more information on him. She was in a rut, and heavily frustrated. Instead of feeling defeated, she was renewed with energy. Marina needed to do her research. She needed to find a way to dull whatever it was that would happen when Xeno was near. She delved into her research, and became more ravenous with spells and concoctions. But that was put on hold when chaos struck her side of the world. She could feel it to her core before tens, hundreds, and thousands of people dissapeared. There was chaos through the streets and nothing she could do about it. Sure, she was stronger now than she was a couple years ago, but this was something completely off scale.
Marina, was known to Mexican citizens as La Muerte. She was most notable for her vigilante endeavers throughout Mexico, she was contacted by a group of people calling themselves, Infinity. They asked her to join there group, and though she was hesitant, she had no other choice but to say yes.
As she packed for her flight, that's when she felt it. His presence, the weight in her soul. "Xeno!" She turned to meet his embrace. "Marina...thank god. I thought the worst when all this chaos started to happen."
"You idiot...Oh, you idiot. I have missed you so dearly." And she did. It had been three unbearable years. "I don't want to part from you Marina, but I don't want you to cause you any more pain." Marina weighs his response. "Do you trust me?" She pulls away from his embrace. "With my life, and you know that."
Marina nods. "Then don't ever leave again. Give me your hand. There is something I want to try." She could see the hesitance in his eyes, but was releived when he held his hand out to her. Before he could process her actions, she took a blade from her thigh and sliced his hand open, and hers followed. Her eyes turned pitch black like the first time he met her as she recited a cantation, "Hear my words. From the depths of hell to the ponds of eden. Let this bond prevail. May no faults and no limits be drawn upon us." Marina let her blood drip down her arms, and as it was about to hit the floor, the stream of blood floats around her palm, in orbit. Xeno takes a look at his own wound and is dazed to see his own blood doing the same. "Hear my words, let us be joined by blood and by blood we shall part." Marina holds her hand out to Xeno and his hand gravitates toward hers, alluringly. Their blood mixes and splits off as it moves back into their body, traveling through their bloodstreams and helaing the fresh wound at lightning speed. In response to her summon, the weight on her soul diminished. Their sould were bounded. "It is done, my love. But there isn't any time to celebrate, we are needed elsewhere." Xeno looked at her with utmost concern. "Are you sure this worked?" Marina takes him by surprise as her lips meet his. "I'm more than sure. We'll have a lot of time to talk on the plane. Let's go." And so, they go, they go to get cued in with team infinity.

ENDING:

— You're more than welcomed to decide how that goes.

THE SUPER HUMAN RUN DOWN:

MOST NOTABLE ABILITIES:

— Flight : Xeno is allowed flight because of his large, white, feathered wings. Though he's only been able to fly after reaching puberty since his wings were only fully developed after that. Though difficult to fly at first, he's learned how to do so with accuracy and can now fly at up to 350mph, to unlimited distances.
— Invulnerability : He cannot be killed by man-made weapons. Only by supernatural weapons and powers.
— Sensing : Xeno can sense when supernatural beings are near. He can also sense whether they are good or bad. With concentration, he can pinpoint the certain person who is supernatural.
— Healing : Xeno posseses the ability to heal the injuries of mortal humans or other good or natural beings or creatures. He cannot heal evil biengs or creatures. His healing only fixes physical inguries, not mental injuries or aching pains. The healing is triggered by Xeno placing his hands over the injury and closing his eyes. A slver light emerges from his hands and the injury is rapidly healed. He cannot heal himself.
— Super Strength : Xeno's strength is beyong human limits. It first manifested when he went through puberty. He can now lift about 3 tons. He will never use his strength on humans unless its to lift something heavy off of somebody.
— Unarmed Combat : Xeno has reached the pinnacle of hand-to-hand fighting prowess. He knows everything about bare hand fighting and surpasses any and all masters of combat of any form, having complete knowledge of the forms whether they be unknown, nigh-impossible to master, or forbidden and can also create his own forms of combat to throw off his enemies.
— Wind Bursts : Because he is allowed to fly at very fast speeds, he needs only to focus his energy into his wings and give them a swoosh to burst wind in the direction of his enemies.

— Other abilities are Enhanced Agility, Enhanced Stamina, Super Hearing, Super Sight, & Super Speed.

super human abilities

abilities :

— Aura Preception : La Muerte can preceive and read auras, normally invisible fields of energy that surround every living thing; this can be used to see a targets emotion, health status, power level, or moral allignment.

* limitations include: seeing one aura at a time, her aura range is 50 feet ahead, people with aura concealment are immune.

— Clairaudience/Clairvoyance : The power to hear things outside the range of normal preception. La Muerte can hear in a way that isn't connected to her physical senses. La Muerte can hear psychic, and spiritual beings.

* limitations include: if more than one spirit is speaking, it can overwhelm her.

— Necromancy : La Muerte can utilize magic that involves the dead and souls. By doing so she can both communicate and bring back the dead, with or without their souls (so they could come back in the flesh or as her undead army).

* limitations include: being weaker agains living-based powers, beings with no souls are imune to her power, bringing people back to life take a lot out of her and render her weak.

— Spiritual Possesion : La Muerte has the power to take complete and total control over ones body .

* limitations include: if she takes control over somebody's body, her own is left in a limbo where others will have to protect it until she returns to it. If her body is harmed while she is controlling somebody else's body, she will be trapped in that body with nowhere to go.

— Kiss of Death : La Muerte can kill somebody with a single kiss if she wills it, though she has to get close to the target first and that's no easy feat.

— Summoning : La Muerte has long since been able to hide or conceal her weapons in a pocket in between time and space. All she needs to do is think about the corresponding weapon and it will fall from the sky, into her hand. She relies on these pockets in time and space in order to pack lightly and seem weak to fool her enemies.

* limitations include: she cannot hold weapond bigger than a katana sword in these pockets of time and space.

— Along with those is enhanced senses, strength, agility, flexibility, speed, and healing. La Muerte is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and sharpshooting with a bow and arrow.

weaknesses :

— Essence Transfer : Because La Muerte is more spiritual based, if she runs out of energy, she's due for an essence transfer. This is only used in times of emergecncy when she's running low on energy and needs to perform a move with lots of energy. An essence transfer needs to be performed with a willing participant (in otherwords somebody willingly needs to give part of their essence to her), otherwise the transfer will not work. The reason it's more of a weskness is befcause when she is preforming a Essence Transfer, she and her participant cannot be targetted, or the transfer is null.

— Pure Beings/Angel-like Beings : Pure powers, Auras, and Angel-Like beings burn her soul. No, they can't actually kill her with their presence, but the feeling of death runs down her spine, and into her muscles. It makes her wish she were dead. Why, you ask? Because it is her opposite in nature. They render her completely useless, and weak. It is her ultimate weakness. The only way to dull or diminish it is by a blood bond with said creature or being, and not all are willing.

SUPER HUMAN GET-UP :

— Usually, when she's going out to "fight crime", it's the only time she wears pants. It could be freezing cold but you'd still see her up and at 'em with dresses. When she's had time to plan her move, she normally dresses in a sleeveless skin-tight top, fingerless arm length cloves with little cavities to place weapons in. Atop that is her cape-like overcoat, it holds any potions and provides more coverage to conceal her weapong on her gloves. She wears semi-leather pants that are easy enough to move around in, and her feiyue running shoes to get around that much easier. No other accessories needed.

combat & weaponry :

— Before meeting Xeno, she wasn't all that good at hand-to-hand combat. She relied upon her bow and arrow sharpshooting. But since having met Xeno, he's taught her a lot of hand-to-hand combatant skills and techniques. She's known to be more erratic when it comes to close combat. Her specialty is more of a mixed combination kicks and punches, it confuses even the most accurate hand-to-hand combatants.
— La Muerte holds small blades on her body, but holds her bigger weapons (i.e katana's, bow and arrow, other blades and potions) in her interdimensional pocket [ refered to in her abilities section...]

history :

— I think a lot of her history can be found in her background, but if she had to exxplain herself shortly it'd be something along the lines of:

"You can similarly call me a vampire, but I'm not entirely a blood-er. Instead I can utilize the dead and some dark magics. I've been this way since birth. In and out of the homes of my caretakers."

— La Muerte never really kept her identity a secret. All of mexico calls her La Muerte because of what she can do, and what she's capable of. She's a vigilante, allways on the move, doesn't stay in one place too long so she doesn't get caught. If somebody wants to get a hold of her, they have to track her down via stalking. (In Xeno's case, he'd had her personal number, he just had to track her and let his Sensing do the rest). But in regards to Fury getting a lot of her to join the infinity team, he got a hold of her through the grapevine.
Steve knew Xeno and Steve knew Xeno was in cahoots with La Muerte. At the time Steve asked for her information, Xeno was hesitant to give it to him, but after assuring he'd not get her into any trouble, he complied. Who knew the contact information would come in handy later?

COMMENTS : 1) I low-key hope you don't hate me for bullet pointing Xeno's personality. 2)I'm sorry that their love story i like a mini-novel. I wanted to get their background out there. 3) Xeno knows more of the Avengers and of other mutants than Marina does because of his background So if you want me to loist his connections and get into his background a little more just let me know. 4) Sorry if there's information missing or if you want to know more about a certain thing that isn't there. Feel free to ask away! 5) My friend was actually going to apply as drina, but there's no way she was going to finish her, theres too much content she wants to put in and she's too excited to just see your story unfold. So, I added a snippet of her in my app.
