Rory Mercury

Appearance

Despite being 961 years old, Rory has the appearance of a 13-year-old young girl as she has stopped aging when she ascended to become a living deity in mortal flesh and blood but blessed with powers no normal humans could ever hope to gain. She has long flowing black hair with a black ribbon as a hair ornament. As an apostle of Emloy, her clothing is a reminiscent of Earth's Gothic Lolita culture: a black dress with red frills, black stockings supported with garters and a red boots. She wields a huge purplish axe as her main weapon. In theanime, her lip color changes from pink to purple when she's about to get dangerous. Before She was chosen to be Apostle of Emroy and during her childhood, she wears a priestess trainee formal black dress.

Personality

Rory has a friendly personality. However, she shows no mercy to her enemies as seen when she slaughtered a gang of bandits without any remorse. In battle, she is shown to have a violent, sadistic personality, however, she is not without a sense of justice, often targeting bandits and criminals, while generally friendly towards the common people. Rory seems to rather want to help the people in need, and get rid of the ones that are of clans such as bandits. It is hinted that Rory is trying to delay her ascension for as long as possible because when she does, she loses any vestige of human emotion she has left. She also becomes sexually aroused when people die near her as seen when she fought in Italica. Lelei La Lalenadescribes this as the "souls of fallen warriors on the battlefield pass through her body to be drawn to the side of Emroy". As a demigoddess and apostle, the effect on her is like an aphrodisiac. Rory has a complex about her real age and instantly gets mad when someone mentions it. She also has a great sense of pride. Rory is not above rape, regardless of the fact she has never had sex before, mainly due to her childlike appearance. Rory desires love, but wont go for anyone she sees, because she wants her first love to be someone she genuinely likes, and someone who can genuinely love her back.

Powers and Abilities

Immortality, High Intelligence, Superhuman strength, Immense speed, Combat prowess, Hex spells, High speed regeneration, Blood Pact(Love related).

Weapon

Halberd: Rory owns an gigantic halberd that is almost twice her size and has a weight of a car. The halberd is shown to be sharp and strong enough to nearly cut an Ogre in half and easily slice a human's head off as well as a person in half effortlessly. The halberd is also extremely heavy since only an Apostle like Rory and Giselle are capable of carrying it and any attempt to carry it by a human often results in injuries. For example, a thief got buried under the weight of the halberd after attempting to steal from Rory in Tokyo and Komakado injured his back after trying to lift it, Rory called him a "weak". The Halberd also shown to be strong enough to be bulletproof.

Other information

It is explained that Demigods who ascend into godhood can claim an aspect of the Deity they're Apostles of or claim any other aspect that has no associated Deity. Rory wants to become Goddess of Love after ascending; presumably it is an aspect that is currently unclaimed. She shares Hardy dislike of Anubis since they both think he is ugly. She is one of the few beings from Special Region who possess a dangerous threat to Modern-Era Soldiers, as evident during the Hakone Incident, where she butchered US, Russian and Chinese Special forces. However, the result will be different if these soldiers were equipped with heavy weapons like grenade launchers, anti-tank weapons or 50 caliber firearms as these weapons can chop her limbs easily, incapacitating her. She has underground-phobia since she's afraid of Hardy. Rory's name is a pun on the Japanese word Loli (ロリ Rori) which refers to Lolita, Lolita fashion and so on. Rory Mercury could be compared to that of liquid mercury metal. Like the element, she is quick and swift during a melee combat but is also deadly and extremely dangerous to anyone who dares to confront her. Also, as liquid mercury tends to change its state constantly, so does Rory's erratic and hot-tempered vile nature. In the anime even her lipstick color seems to change with her moods. Mercury (Mercurius) is the Roman / Latin Name of Hermes, a god from Greek Mythology. One of his duties is to guide the souls of the dead into Hades (the greek underworld). Mercury carried a wand, the Caduceus, that has a pair of snakes twined about it, Rory's halberd has a single twined near the axe head. Rory has never been in love before.
