## Personality & Appearance

### **Personality**

Mexia has quite an interesting personality. Due her loss of family and friends, Mexia has undergone quite a few changes. Her personality especially. I'd like to say that Mexia had a happy, content, nerdy kind of personality but since the death of herself, her friends and family, she has turned into this confident, mood but happy woman. The relationships that Mexia has developed between herself and the Lads has definitely changed her since her death too. At this point because Mexia is a W.I.P and currently being retconned, its quite hard to say what her personality used to be, but as mentioned previously, I like to think she had quite a happy, nerdy personality.

## Story

Mexia's backstory takes place on her planet \*Mesa.

When Mexia was 6 or 7 her family went on a trip to Hinterland (their planet equivalent to Australia), Mexia ended up straying from her parents and meeting Croc. Croc took Mexia back to his hut to keep her safe from the harsh environment. Croc and Mexia quickly made friends as Croc swore to protect Mexia and always be there for her. Croc also taught Mexia his native language. It was only a couple days later that Mexia was reunited with her parents.

After this Mexia's teen life was pretty much a blur to her, she was often found helping out in her parents bar, watching Hybrid's streams or just existing really. Fast forward a couple years past this, Mexia was barely scraping by, with a dead-end job that payed little to nothing, she was also dating a drug addict and borderline thug called Aaron. Unfortunately Mexia was only using him for illegal amount of money that he brings in so they can both afford to live in the apartment.

At this point in time, Mexia was still watching Hybrids streams and entered one of his giveaways for the top 10 custom built PC's he had made, and to her surprise, she won. Later on after the PC was delivered, Mexia finds Hybrid on one of the voice chat from a game that came pre-installed on the system and decides to chat with him. Aaron overhears this and gets jealous.

Later on when Mexia gets home the next day, she finds the PC destroyed along with a note from Aaron that read something a long the lines of "blah blah don't cheat, blah blah, you're a slut". Mexia's reaction to this was to break up with him and kick him out of her apartment. Unfortunately, Aaron get's really pissed off with her and gathers his friends, one in a cult, one in a mafia and one who didn't want anything to do with it. Later that night they ambush Mexia and stab her to death outside her apartment. Ethan couldn't do much except stand and star in fear as he watched his friends stab her to death.

Sometime later on a very pissed off Mexia awakes in a reaper receptionist office located somewhere in Purgatory. After a short but meaningful conversation, the receptionist listens to Mexia's backstory and feels bad about how she went out so he gives her revenancy to obtain her revenge. The reaper points towards a closet with new clothes for her to change into, after all she'd been wearing her bloody and torn up clothing for god know how long. Mexia choses some gothic attire. She tells him she's ready and he nods, snaps his fingers and Mexia is back in her own body.

The 3 hours that Mexia had spent in that office had turned out to be 3 years in her world's time. Mexia had spent the next amount of time trcking down her killers in order but soon discovers that they had died, Ethan had killed himself due to the guilt of watching Mexia die, Keenen who died in a car crash, Victor who died in a shootout with police, and lastly Aaron who was killed for resisting arrest and attempted to harm officers. Mexia now realises that she's immortal because her sole reason to return to life was completed for her and she can't die until she finds a new reason for her revenancy.

Mexia wanders her world, staying away from her past and those she new because she was undead and new that would bring nothing but trouble and issues to her and those around her. Somehow after aimlessly wandering she ends up on Earth and is apprehended by a Britain-opposing Great Power and was tested and researched on for several years before having a sonic/electric device implanted in her neck that would cause unbearable pain if she was to disobey orders given by the great power.

After that, Mexia now just doing as she was told became a soldier and assassin as she mindlessly and emotionlessly completes her tasks. Before she has the opportunity to come into a close enough proximity to them, she takes down a soldier and slaughters many guardsmen, police and any other soldiers that came into her way while in this fit of rage. The leaders of this whole experiment almost get away but due to a slightly misplaced missile striking and missing the targeted helicopter, they are taken out. The missile sadly hits Mexia too.

Mexia is left nothing but a torso and a head in the rubble from the helicopter. Yet due to her revenancy, she lives and slaughters the rest of the leaders with pretty much her mouth. After this event happened, Mexia spent the next oncoming period of time roaming the Earth in as much cover as possible due to being an alien species as well as undead. Shortly after she meets the Lads.

## Powers, Abilities & Statistics

### Powers & Abilities

Being all of an alien species (comparatively to humans), an undead, and a member of the quite power-diverse Lads, Mexia has a grand variety of powers, gaining more the longer she lives and the more adventures she attends with her friends:

**Berserk Mode**

As Mexia calls this the 'Black Rage', named after the colour her eyes shift to and the colour she sees when in this state. This has only occurred to Mexia once in her life, at the end of her period when she was known as the violent assassin "Basilisk", when which she ruthlessly murdered hundreds of military soldiers and innocent civilians that were in her way without hesitation. This extreme emotional stress also causes Mexia to greatly overkill on her brutality, causing unnecessary pain or violence to those foolish enough to approach her. This mood is completely uncontrollable until there is nothing left to massacre, and anyone and everything becomes a target to her, alternatively she can be killed or knocked unconscious to relieve her of the Black Rage, this is nigh-impossible to accomplish however. Mexia believes this is not naturally part of her emotional capacity, but either an effect of the Revenant Curse or all her emotion and trauma from the experiments and torture from the Leaders flooding her mind simultaneously when she had the chance to kill them, no one knows if either of these theories are true or not, and it is unlikely anyone will know.

**Cursed**

This is Mexia's Revenant Curse. The 'blessing' comes with a variety of boosts and upgrades to Mexia's power, including increasing the speed of her regeneration, physical strength and speed, but most notably is its gift of near-limitless stamina. Mexia can still tire, but she has to push her body to its new limits to begin fatiguing, along with this bottomless stamina, Mexia also doesn't need to eat, drink, or rest. She still prefers to however, as it is what she is used to, 21 years of doing so and continuing after death, she also enjoys the taste of many foods, and simply enjoys sleep.

However, the part that makes this power a Curse over a Blessing, is the fact that it is, well, a curse, and cannot be removed without special conditions. The Revenancy Curse will keep you in an undead state until you have achieved the goal you were resurrected to complete, and if you cannot complete this goal, or in Mexia's case, miss the chance to do so, the curse will stay. Thankfully, the curse's goal can be changed, although not at will, the conditions for changing the reason of the curse are either through the will of the originally bestowing reaper, or through extremely intense emotional stress or desire. The main withdrawing factor that makes this bestowal of power into a curse, is that she cannot die until she completes her goal, meaning she will outlast all that she loves and cares about and cannot end her life if she wanted to. Even when she does complete her goal, she does not die peacefully, the curse unwillingly drags those who complete their goal back to Hell.

**Enhanced Senses**

Hearing, Smell, Taste, Vision (Dark, Infrared ['toggleable'], Multiple [when concentrating], Panoramic [210°], Spiritual, Supercolour, Telescopic, Ultraviolet), & Sixth (ability to sense the targets of her Revenancy)

Mexia, with her race resembling that of various different animals and with the benefits of most of the resemblances, has a wide variety of enhanced senses, from being able to hear speech from a kilometre away, to being able to track scents like a dog. Her smell and taste senses' advanced state is partially thanks to the harsh military training at the hands of the Russian Great Powers, but this has only benefited her in the end. Another benefit of her Revenancy 'curse' is the ability to sense her targets through an unknown feeling drawing her toward their location, and matching perfectly with this ability is her ability see souls.

**Immortality**

Types 1 (due to Revenancy), 2, 4, 7 & 8 (dependent on the Revenancy Curse)

Mexia's Revenant Curse has turned her from a regular flesh being, into an almost completely unkillable flesh being driven by vengeance. The Revenancy Curse grants her regeneration beyond that of any natural being, healing minor wounds in moments and even completely reattaching severed limbs over the course of several days (Type 3 Immortality). The incredibly powerful magic that rests in this curse also covers for if its host is completely destroyed and left nothing to regenerate from, it simply reforms her body in the place where her life was originally ripped away (Type 4 Immortality). The curse also does not let its host die from conventional means such as sickness or age, and will actually protect her quite well, Revenants almost always must be killed through outside physical or magical means (Type 7 Immortality). This also pairs with the fact she is undead, and is unaffected my most, if not all, sickness and ageing conditions. (Type 8 Immortality).

**Longevity**

As Mexia is a drake, she naturally lives longer than a human would be able to, some of her kind reaching several hundred years old. Sadly for Mexia, she never got to live out this natural extension of life.

**Martial Arts**

Although not adopting any named fighting style, of human making at least, Mexia has been taught where vital, vulnerable and weak locations are on the bodies of opponents, as well as being taught how to effectively avoid taking damage herself. The majority of this training had been forced into her brain by the cruel and unforgiving training she endured when first arriving on Earth, by the hands of the Leaders of the Russian Great Power. This torturous coaching had left Mexia a brutal and ruthless machine of death and violence, acting and fighting more like that of a rabid animal when not intentionally being stealthy. However, during her time with the Lads, long after she had sealed off the memories of what she experienced as a test subject and foot-soldier, she had learned new information and tactics handed out by the tutoring of Thwaites and Hybrid, with Mexia learning tiny tid-bits from various other characters, as well as solo practicing and in-field experience.

**Possession**

Spiritual Type

Naturally as a resurrected soul of death, Mexia is capable of inhabiting and overtaking the bodies of other beings, assuming her own will can overpower her target's. Mexia very rarely uses this power however, as it requires her soul to leave her own body, which will slump back to the ground as a lifeless corpse, and the sight of this terrifies and sickens her.

**Regeneration**

Medium-1 Tier

Her Revenancy Curse comes with a powerful regeneration capability, strong enough to repair her body back to completion from nothing but a head, torso, and half an arm within 3-4 months, which has been the most extensive feat this power has demonstrated thus far. With this power, Mexia can reattach severed limbs, heal normally-fatal wounds, and completely skip scarring on almost all wounds.
**Resurrection**

**Self-Sustenance**

Thanks to the curse of Revenancy, Mexia can 'live' without the needs for sustenance, sleep, or oxygen she once had. Mexia still prefers to take part in such things, as it brings her joy and comfort. Mexia will eat, drink and sleep like she had the first 23 years of her life, taking part in sleep the most. Mexia is unbothered by her lack of need to breathe, as she rarely finds herself in a vacuum and could already breathe underwater.

**Superhuman Physique**

Mexia's species is naturally stronger than ordinary humans, especially averaging both, with her specific race of Drakes being even mightier above the rest of their genus. Some training their strength like bodybuilders have gotten physically strong enough to break the human deadlift record 3 times over. In life, Mexia was quite average, focussing on college instead of bodybuilding, however this did not make her weak in comparison to humans, still capable of outmatching many trained military soldiers in sheer strength. Some of her kind fast enough to outrun greyhounds, even fewer with hard training can reach well over double the speed of the human record, albeit with a slightly longer acceleration time. Mexia's top speed during 100m sprint from PE in high school was recorded at 82.6km/h with 4.8m/s² acceleration, over triple the speed of the average human.

This does not yet take into account the increase Mexia gains from her resurrection. The Revenancy Curse boosting her strength, speed and endurance by small, but effective amounts. Now with her undead buffs, Mexia breaks the human world record deadlift herself and breaks over 100km/h at top sprint. These things puts Mexia in a noticeably superhuman physical level.

**Supernatural Breathing**

Another benefit her Revenancy, Mexia doesn't need oxygen to live, paired with her naturally semi-aquatic evolution, Mexia can breathe both underwater and in a vacuum. This means she cannot suffocate or drown, Mexia could naturally breath water anyway thanks to previously stated reasons.

Note: We could not locate this exact power on the VS Wiki, thus Underwater Breathing was the closest we could locate. A powers list will be added to this wiki in the future, thank you for your patience.

**Weapon Mastery**

Mexia is incredibly skilled with small arms weapons (most specifically knives), as they are her preferred weapons, and the primary melee weapon of use during her time as Basilisk. Mexia now uses knives as almost her entire arsenal, with many various types of knives with many different qualities in it. Mexia is also a quick combative learner thanks to the military training and sparring with Hybrid and Thwaites, and as such can swiftly adapt to a weapon she has not wielded before. Further, Mexia is skilled with firearms, mostly handguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles, with ability to very effectively steady recoil, remain still when aiming, and is dexterous with them beyond just firing them.

## Equipment

Mexia wields a large assortment of weapons, potentially the most out of the whole group, but primarily brandishing a short blades, particularly modern knives. Amongst the many unnamed and unremarkable blades she owns, there are several particularly special ones that either hold significant value to Mexia, or are vastly more powerful than others.

Assorted Knives

Mexia owns at minimum 60 knives, all hung up on her wall in Hybrid's Fortress in a radial pattern, this pattern is formed from karambits, to butterfly knives, to switchblades, to bowie knives, and everything in-between. They are more a collection to Mexia over usable weapons, as the majority of foes Mexia and The Lads face are quite immune to basic, conventional weaponry and require more extreme force.

**Custom .50 Desert Eagle "Black Hawk"**

A large handgun gifted to Mexia from Hybrid as a birthday present, this handgun is built to be a literal hand-cannon. Complete with a variety of different and specialised ammunition, the firearm is useful in a wide multitude of situations from close range to long range, and other utilities that require a lot of precise force.

**Dundee**

A massive bowie knife Mexia inherited from an old friend of hers on her twentieth birthday. Named after the word once spoken to Mexia when the two originally met, the word meaning "protector" in the old croc's language. Forged by the croc's grandfather using a couple family techniques, making the blade incredibly durable, although not easy to sharpen (or dull, for that matter), however an otherwise fairly unremarkable knife, save for its 24" blade. Mexia had the name of the knife engraved into the side of it, forever reminding her of its purpose to be used as a tool of defence rather than a weapon of offense, also being a metaphor of always ending fights instead of starting them. Mexia has only ever used this tool once, and it was in an act of protecting her friend.
