The Mercurys // D3 [closed]

The moment people first began to notice everything wasn't exactly "right" with the Mercurys was the moment the head of the family put a bullet through his mouth. Mr. Mercury left his family with millions to inherit, but abandoned them with a mother who's gone slightly crazy ever since, and a batch of traumatized children who were forced to raise themselves. Although each sibling couldn't oppose each other more in character, personality, and virtues - an inner connection of a shared tragedy tightly knits them all together.

Lestia Mercury - 16, female [reserved for Chelsey]
Lestia Mercury is dreaming. Or, at the very least, she thinks she is. Devoting her entire existence to waking herself up, she'll do anything to get a surge of heated adrenaline pumping through her veins. (This desire often putting herself in life-risking situations. But, she doesn't particularly mind or care since this is all a dream after all.) It's hard for her to decipher between what's real and what's not real, and she has given up on the aching task. She refuses to grow attached to anyone, believing everything and everyone she meets is just some figment of her imagination. A cloak of fairy like and ethereal silence usually settles upon her - she's too caught up in her daydreams makeshift realities too bother speaking - but occasionally one "figment of her imagination" could elicit a smile, laugh, or speech from her lips.

Ezra Mercury - 18, male [reserved for Elegant]
Ezra Mercury is by far the genius of the family that his father had ever aspired to be. A crazy insomniac who spends his nights up painting, his head's crammed with knowledge of mathematics, science, and architecture. Some say he's too smart for his own good, which is probably a saying he's tired of hearing. On the nights when even painting can't sooth his frantic nerves, he buries himself under the leather bound books left behind in his father's study. Although sometimes a bit too prideful of his elite status and knowledge, the compassion he possesses for his family is undoubtedly unlimited. When things first began to go wrong, he was the first to get his family back on track.

Delilah Mercury - 17, female [reserved for Python]
Obsessed with money, power, and - basically - herself. She's terribly beautiful and knows how far her beauty can take her, then uses it to her advantage. More often than nought, she's a selfish spoiled brat who enjoys playing the victim when she truly knows that the real criminal is her. Lies are easily woven off the tip of her tongue, complete with an eloquent voice and batting eyelashes. If someone, however, somehow resists her charm, she'll be sure to have them punished in one way or another - and'll enjoy watching every single second of that downfall. Based off the Bible character.

Matthias Mercury - 17, male [reserved for Cass]
When Mr. Mercury first brought the newborn baby home, he told his suspicious wife that he'd found the child in a dumpster and didn't have the heart to leave him out in the cold. She accepted his lie, but some say that Matthias really is Mr. Mercury's child, only, just not his wife's. The half brother grew up to be raunchy and reckless, spending his pastimes with a crowd who strives off of drug dealing and alcohol. He's a favorite among the ladies of Three, but no single girl has yet to keep a grab on him. Matthias is easily bored and distracted, but is also easy to pick a fight with especially with anyone who even dares say a word against his family. He's been in trouble with the law in more than one situation, but, with his wealth and "high" social status, can smuggle his way out of almost any trouble.

Laurence Mercury - 16, male [reserved for Shrimp]
Although Laurence is Lestia's fraternal twin, they couldn't be more of opposites. He's ever grounded to his reality, and is the walking definition of a "realist." Every single step he takes is a cautious one, every glance towards the outside world petrified, every move well thought out and reasoned. Tragedy has transformed this once innocent boy into someone who thinks he understands the cruelty of the world, and is determined to salvage himself from it's wreckage before it could destroy him, too. However, even if he's accepted his reality, it doesn't particularly mean he has to like it.

Minerva Gypsy Covella-Mercury - 15, female [reserved for Tattletale]
Began eight years ago when the Mercuries found her wandering around the road on a rainy night. "Where ya from, child?" "Dunno." "Where ya heading?" "Dunno." "You got a name?" "Dunno. Maybe." "Well, well. 'Til then we'll just call you Gypsy, now won't we? Hop in, child, we'll give you a place to stay." She's been a sister ever since. Although no one knows it (and she absolutely refuses to speak of her old family), she came from a family who practiced witchcraft - which she still actively practices herself behind closed doors. Her maternal mother, however, was burned at the stake for their family's actions, and Gypsy ended up running away while her twin sister ran in the opposite direction. Now, separated and lost from her twin, she lives in her own world, where silence dominates most of her time - but she's still swift to be angered and holds long grudges. She doesn't easily trust others since she knows other people shouldn't so easily trust her, either. She's deceiving, misleading, and knows exactly what she's capable of. Although she truly does care for her fostered family, it doesn't mean that one day she might run away from them, too.

Damion Mercury - 15, male [reserved for Zoë]
Everyone thinks he's a rebellious delinquent who steals and talks to an imaginary friend, but really, he's just bargaining with the devil. He's utterly convinced a demon lives inside him and torments him to do bad things everyday to save either his life or his family's lives, and is left with no other option but to obey the devil's commands. Often bitter, dark, intimidating, and closed off from the rest of the world, he spends most of his time locked up in his bedroom - too scared of others and too scared of what havoc he himself could cause them. Instead, he's left with that voice inside his head (that sounds an awful lot of what his father used to sound like) to speak to, and, somehow, has become a tiny bit attached to the parasite that resembles his deceased father.

Teresa Mercury - 14, female [reserved for Loren]
Teresa is scared of natural disasters. Floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and storms rattle every atom of her being with an undeniable and uncontrollable wave of fear. She prefers the sanctuary the walls of her spacious home provides, but doesn't mind a peek or two behind the sheer curtains of her bedroom every once and so often. What she sees, she doesn't like. The outside world is too dirty, and much too corrupt.
