M O R T E M

She's always been fishnets and alabaster and raccoon eyes. Mortem's always been spooky, and she's always been weird - but a good kind of weird! She was a happy kid, but little shits are mean when they want to be. At age eight she was walking down Style Street in pleather platform boots selling homemade low-sugar low-carb snicker-doodles to all the botox babies. At age eleven she was painting eyepatches and empty sockets on the kids at Isolde Jian's birthday party to play Ansgar versus Hyacinth.

And they made sure Hyacinth won - every time !

And that's where it all kind of started. With Miss Mortuus's knife.

At age twelve Aquila Jova became Miss Mortem and the rest is history.

She's a paradox, with a terrifying face and a fae giggle. She's a Halloween queen, horrifying to look at but shy as all hell. She's offbeat, she's an oddball, she's clumsy. Mortem's not herself without the gore and she's not comfortable without the mask. She's got taxidermied butterflies and ravens in her apartment, and they all have their own names.

They're her babies!

She's baby!

Spooky baby.

She got fangs instead of braces in high school, but her parents were willing to pay for both. Tattoos aren't interchangeable so she uses grease paint instead. She makes herself into something from your worst nightmare and then she'll hold the tea-room door open for you. Because it's only polite!

Mortem's parents own a tea shop, and it's frilly and pink and everything she isn't. There are peacocks painted on the walls and tulle hanging from the ceiling and about six different antique rugs laid out under the tables. But Mortem's got her own little china cup with skulls and a bow that they keep in the back and her mom still calls her Jovie every time she's there. She was a server there, and there's proof of it, there's a menagerie of family portraits up on the walls - parents in pastels, Jovie in black.

Joining AGE wasn't a spur of the moment thing. When you grow up watching Games reruns and then graduate to the late night alternates, it's just a common progression. She was hired for Alternate Games Endings the day after she applied, first an intern, then an assistant, and then an artist. Now she goes through gallons of fake blood and spirit gum every week, she's designed enough crushed skull prosthetics to last a lifetime. She painted Stitch Gabel's grotesque burns scars onto his actor for the 79th show and wired the blood spurt for Ridley Le Roux's severed hand in the 83rd. She made sure the zombie's skin peeled and oozed for the catacombs segment of the 85th and then won an award for it.

Then the call came for Sampson's team, hand-picked by the way, and she'd put the phone down and screamed for three minutes straight.

And her mom and dad are still so proud. They frost a black cake and put rose petals in the tea pots and break out the good porcelain. Mortem gets a little liquid shine on the tablecloth but they just cover it with a doily and it disappears. Because this time is special! It's not like she parties. Her circle isn't big, her parents are her best friends. Her love live is non-existent - her work is her love. It's her life.

And she's fine with that! She's happy even if her kooky demon clown makeup says otherwise. She's living the dream, really. The gigs keep coming and the publicity keeps skyrocketing. It's not that Mortem's dream is to be famous, that's not the goal here, she's just dedicated to the craft.

She's doing it her own way!
