Character Information
Name: His birth name is Maria. His chosen name is Mary. His infamous title is Bloody Mary. Because he shares both the name Maria and Mary with other characters, however, I will be referring to him as Bloody Mary throughout this app.
Canon: Bloody Mary
Canon Point: Post-series
Age: He has lived for over 400 years, but his appearance is that of a teenager around 16-19.
History: About four hundred years ago, Bloody Mary and his twin brother Mary were born in a poor English village. They were abandoned by their mother at an early age and forced to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, Bloody Mary had a weak body that often succumbed to fevers and fatigue. When one of Bloody Mary's fevers got particularly bad, Mary took him to the nearby church so a doctor could see him. He overheard the doctor tell the church's priest that Bloody Mary wouldn't survive to adulthood. It was then that he hatched his rather desperate plan. He ingratiated himself with a local rich couple and talked them into adopting him, but then he turned around and had Bloody Mary take his place. In the care of the wealthy and loving Howards, Bloody Mary would survive his illness long enough for Mary to hunt down a vampire and become one himself.
Mary succeeded and returned a vampire, but he had been gone for years, and Bloody Mary immediately rejected him. Before either of them could explain, Mary was attacked by other vampires and fell from the balcony. Bloody Mary chased his blood trail into the forest, but the physical activity as well as the stress of being reunited with and then torn away from his twin was too much. He collapsed. Mary found him on the brink of death and, with no other option, attempted to turn him.
When Bloody Mary next awoke, his brown hair and eyes had turned red, and his brother's corpse was being held by a mourning vampire woman who shouted at him that he was the reason Mary was dead. Mary had successfully turned Bloody Mary but lost his life in the process.
The next three hundred years were something of a blur for Bloody Mary. Inundated with grief and self-loathing, he attempted to kill himself in every way imaginable. Unknown to him, however, in the process of turning Bloody Mary, Mary's consciousness was transferred into Bloody Mary's body. Mary's desperate wish to keep Bloody Mary alive manifested as immortality, and none of Bloody Mary's attempts to die were successful. When Bloody Mary was in control of his body, he was a hysterical mess, but when he retreated into his mind completely, Mary could take over. He was the one who hunted the vampires out to hurt Bloody Mary, drank blood to keep Bloody Mary healthy, and just generally searched to destroy anything that could break their combined immortality.
It was on one of these searches that Mary was recruited along with three other vampires to secure a man named Isaac Rosario di Maria, an immortal priest with the holy power to exorcise vampires. Mary intended to betray his boss and find a way to kill Isaac in order to ensure that the man would never be able to exorcise Bloody Mary, but when Bloody Mary surfaced and learned of a power capable of killing him, Mary's plan once again went awry.
Bloody Mary was stricken with amnesia. Now that he remembered nothing except that he wanted to die and that Isaac Rosario di Maria was the one who could kill him, he was able to overcome his paralyzing grief and act on his own.
Bloody Mary was actively seeking a death he could actually achieve, and so Mary was forced to take over, determined to get rid of the threat before Bloody Mary could charge head first into it. This was how Mary arrived in Japan and discovered Yuusei Rosario di Maria, Isaac's "son" and, more importantly, his clone. Isaac was no different from Bloody Mary, it turned out, desperate to die despite having an immortal body. He created Yuusei for the sole purpose of finding a way to kill him, thus proving that Isaac's own immortality was also fallible. Mary was happy to give him what he wanted. He murdered the immortal Yuusei, and Isaac was ecstatic now that he had proof of the old legend that the di Marias could only be killed by a red-haired vampire.
Bloody Mary, on the other hand, ignorantly continued his search for Isaac until dropping in on Ichirou Rosario di Maria, Yuusei's son. This Maria was only a high school student and didn't have the power of exorcism Bloody Mary desired. Vampires attacked him regularly for his irresistible Maria blood, but he had no way of fighting back. Thus, he and Bloody Mary struck a deal. As long as Bloody Mary protected him from attacking vampires, Maria would find a way to kill him. He wanted all vampires dead, after all. It was a vampire who had killed his father.
The two of them were quick to discover that the Sakuraba household, the ones who had taken care of Maria all his life, were hiding a great deal from him, including Isaac himself. When they broke into the Sakuraba mansion looking for information, Bloody Mary was captured and brought to a secret basement where Isaac tortured him for the method he'd used to kill Yuusei. Mary took control, but before he could end everything by killing Isaac, Maria interrupted. When Maria was stabbed by the head of the Sakuraba household, Bloody Mary forced his way back into control of his body and ran away with him.
They left for England to research, recover, and regroup. It was there that Maria was finally able to speak with Mary, now that he knew Bloody Mary wasn't the only one inhabiting his body. Mary struck up his own deal with the youngest Maria: if Maria made Bloody Mary face his forgotten memories, Mary would tell him Yuusei's final words. Maria wasted no time in bringing Bloody Mary to his birthplace and then to the still standing Howard manor. Though Bloody Mary resisted, Maria didn't allow him to pass out when he began recalling his life as a human. Once Bloody Mary realized he had forgotten something as important as his own twin brother, he stopped running away and told Maria that he wanted to remember everything.
While in England, they were also able to find the information they needed in order to tackle the Sakuraba household again. Isaac was the only one who could restore Maria's lost exorcism power, but he had lost too much blood after their last encounter and gone into a coma to recover it. Now they knew how to wake him up.
Unfortunately, they were too late. By the time they returned to Japan, the Sakuraba's mansion had already been raided, and Isaac was gone. Bloody Mary recognized the smell of the three vampires who had first informed him of Isaac's exorcism power. He took off, following their scent all the way to their hideout. Before he could sneak in, he was ambushed by one of the vampires. They had helped themselves to Isaac's blood, and Bloody Mary, working on an empty tank, was no match. He was one-sidedly butchered until he managed to escape. The head injuries he'd sustained shook up his already glass-fragile memories. By the time he crawled his way back to Maria, he'd completely confused the present with the past. It was while Maria was trying to understand the situation that Bloody Mary blurted out that he had killed his brother. If Maria couldn't kill him in turn, then Bloody Mary didn't need him. He bolted, climbed the highest tower he could see, and jumped.
Though Bloody Mary's confusion faded when he awoke, Maria now knew how Bloody Mary's journey of remembrance was going to end. He kept his deal with Mary anyway and cornered Bloody Mary with his earlier admission. Upon recalling the grim night when Mary died, Bloody Mary was shocked beyond reason. He apologized repeatedly to his own reflection and then passed out. Mary took control, taunting Maria with the cruel fact that his father had died because of him. If Yuusei was able to die, then Isaac would have no need to continue his experiments on Maria. He had asked Mary to kill him. With that bomb dropped, Mary left.
What he didn't tell Maria was that not even he could feel Bloody Mary's consciousness within him. As always, nothing had gone according to plan, and Mary was terrified that his increasing blood lust would drown out Bloody Mary permanently.
Maria managed to track him down several days later with a plan to bring Bloody Mary back to the surface. Maria had Mary drink his blood. Then he purposefully lured other vampires in to attack him. Bloody Mary had promised to protect him, and even now, he kept that promise. He took control of his body and fought off the hoard, but his sanity was clearly shaken. Maria calmed him somewhat with the information that he had gained the ability to exorcise him. He had just one last request before he did: that Bloody Mary acknowledge Mary's existence inside of him.
Bloody Mary finally called out to the brother he'd watched die, and their reunion was an emotional one. Mary had just wanted to save Bloody Mary's life from the beginning, and upon realizing this, Bloody Mary promised never to say he wished to die again.
Unfortunately, the woman vampire who had been there when Mary died arrived shortly afterward to ensure that Maria killed Bloody Mary as promised. She wanted Bloody Mary gone so that she could have Mary back. Neither she nor Bloody Mary knew that Maria had already decided he no longer had it in him to kill Bloody Mary. The frightened vampire panicked, unwilling to hurt Mary yet again, and when Maria appeared in front of him, he attacked. When he realized what he'd done, he broke down, convinced he'd now murdered two loved ones.
But miraculously, Maria survived.
Once things settled down, Mary took control in order to fulfill Isaac's death wish. Then he requested that Maria exorcise him instead of Bloody Mary. Drinking blood and killing indiscriminately for centuries had worn him down to the point where his blood lust was out of control. He had technically died 400 years ago. Now he just wanted Bloody Mary to have the chance to live a real life without fear of Mary's blood lust overwhelming him. Maria agreed, and though Bloody Mary wasn't happy, he at least accepted it.
Bloody Mary, now alone in his own body, chose to join Maria on his vampire hunting crusade, and they left Japan together.
Personality: Bloody Mary comes across as a pretty simple guy. He's easy to please, naturally altruistic, and comically accommodating. Rather than worry about himself, he is much more likely to worry about others. Not everyone is quite so willing to die as he is. Knowing this is largely why he refuses to kill human beings for their blood, although he has no problem killing vampires who attack him first. Which they do a lot. In fact, he refuses blood altogether until Maria forces him to change his tune. Without blood, he wouldn't have been able to protect Maria from those very attacking vampires. Even when he finally decides to live, it's not because he himself wants to do anything or be anyone. It's because he doesn't want to hurt Mary or Maria with his selfish actions ever again.
More than anything else, however, it's Bloody Mary's suicidal desires that inform his actions and destroy his agency. This is slow to change even after he promises never to say he wants to die again. Four hundred years of trying and failing to die would scar anyone. He is no exception, and is so incapacitated by his own grief that his mind induces amnesia just to keep him functional. In fact, it is heavily implied that he lost his memory due to the physical trauma of his many suicide attempts, demonstrated when vicious head injuries caused by another vampire temporarily jumble his mind and leave him believing it's one hundred years in the past. Yet even amnesia can't stop him from trying to end his life. Bloody Mary manages to forget his twin brother's entire existence, but he can't bury the emotions that came with it. Wracked by such a heavy misery, he decides he doesn't need to remember why he wants to kill himself in order to do it. This all-consuming desire for death leads him to take carelessly dangerous action even outside of his direct suicide attempts. At one point, despite that he'd just been captured and tortured a few weeks prior, he doesn't spare a second thought before taking off alone to steal from three powerful vampires while running on empty. What others would describe as shocking and reckless behavior, Bloody Mary approaches with disturbingly casual indifference. A complete lack of self-preservation instinct is perfectly rational when his goal is to die.
Bloody Mary's adorable brand of stupidity - the kind that leads him to excitably demonstrate a "kabedon" wall slam by busting straight through a wall like the damn Koolaid Man - is more a state of blissful ignorance than an actual lack of intelligence. His time effectively stopped the moment his brother died. He has had no desire to enjoy, let alone keep up with, how human life has progressed over time, and thus is often in awe of the modern technology shoved under his nose. He mistakes modern phrases just as easily. This ignorance extends to a lack of interest in learning about himself, particularly his forgotten past. Bloody Mary is fully aware that he erased those memories for a reason, and so is capable of some truly stellar mental gymnastics in order to remain in denial. More than once, when information is too much for him, he passes out where he stands, waking up later with no recollection as to why. Having no desire to question or improve himself leads to unsurprising repeats of mistakes - some amusing, some devastating.
Bloody Mary isn't truly stupid, but he is an emotional beast, a perfect foil for Maria's logical and manipulative machinations. Even when he was human, Bloody Mary tried not to think about things too much. If he did, he'd be forced to face the same hard truth his brother Mary spent years trying to prevent - he wasn't going to survive to adulthood. He was happier living in the moment, feeling grateful or worried or tired. Even pain never bothered him. He was content to be anything but lonely. Now he has very different reasons not to think too deeply, desperate as he is to forget that he killed his own brother, but the result is the same. He's as easily amused as he is brought to tears, as excitable as he is hysterical, and he acts on these emotions as he experiences them. This helps him as much as it hinders him. He is able to act quickly in a fight and doesn't hesitate or waffle over what he wants to do. It also makes him an excellent follower of orders, a state which doesn't require him to question how bad of a person he is for doing what he does. He actually prefers this role, to the point that Maria's cruel commands begin to put him at ease and give him a sense of purpose. But if circumstances are enough to overwhelm him with grief or guilt, he works himself into a panic and can't do anything at all without someone there to talk him through it.
He himself doesn't realize just how dependent he is on others. Physically, he has the ability to be self-sustaining, but lacking the drive to live means he doesn't even try for most of the series. The reason he is immortal is because his brother's soul protects him. It is impossible to count the number of times Mary has saved his stupid, suicidal brother from himself. In fact, the one thing that finally reignites his will to live is Mary telling him that the reason he'd died was to give Bloody Mary the chance to live a full, happy life. The realization that Mary had not only witnessed but had been hurt by every single one of his suicide attempts was an overwhelming one when the entire reason he'd wanted to die was because he believed he was the reason he'd never see Mary again.
Bloody Mary is absolutely terrified of being abandoned. Considering the likelihood that their mother disappeared because of Bloody Mary's illness and the fact that he was the reason Mary died, it's easy to see why he's so desperate not to lose anyone else due to his uselessness. At one point, he even breaks free of metal restraints in order to stalk Maria from England to Japan, pounce him in the middle of his breaking-and-entering mission, and loudly proclaim that he hates the words "I will return" because they're always a lie. Once he's attached to someone, he's attached at the hip, forever pushy, clingy, and impatient for their attention. He's quick to beg and make outlandish promises to prevent them from leaving him, facing his greatest phobias if only it means he doesn't have to live another day alone. He will do anything for it because being discarded is his greatest phobia of all.
Abilities & Skills: Bloody Mary's abilities are vaguely defined, but what's certain is that as a vampire, so long as he's recently had blood, he can maintain inhuman speed, strength, and agility. His senses are all heightened, smell especially. All vampires in Bloody Mary's world are immortal in the sense that they won't die of old age. They can be killed, however, by the usual sunlight, wooden stakes, silver bullets, holy crosses, etc. Bloody Mary is special in that he is truly immortal and cannot even be killed in these ways so long as his brother's soul still resides in his body.
Inventory/Companions: Nothing but the clothes on his back.
Choice: Vampire
Reason: Bloody Mary is already a vampire in canon, but his brother's soul gives him an immortality cheat that renders most vampire weaknesses a moot point. I'd really like to play him having to cope with his newfound weaknesses without being completely ignorant of or overwhelmed by his monster status.
