## Friends/Allies

* Baylee Carowei
	+ First cousins on their dad's side. They were decently close as kids but split when Mercury moved to Arkansas. Mercury believed Baylee to be dead following the house fire and was very surprised to find a video of her wrestling a Nile crocodile
* Jupiter Schutz
	+ Mortal enemies and close homies. They're the reason they're on the run
* The Hunters
	+ They've found a lovely little family within the Hunter's group chat. They currently live in the Hunter House with Jupiter, Talyn, and Robin.

## Enemies, Mortal or Otherwise

* Jupiter Schutz
	+ Mortal enemies and close homies. They're the reason they're on the run

## Powers

* Catch me if you can
	+ When being closely pursued, Mercury can vanish in a whirlwind and reappear a short distance away. This makes them significantly harder to catch and unpredictable.
	+ This action requires quick thinking and can easily backfire on them and cause injury.
* Need for Speed
	+ They’re really fast. They’re an ex-track runner with the wind pushing against their back. It’s nearly impossible for them to slow down in life.
* Feral
	+ They haven’t tried shifting to a fully animalistic monster -yet- but when in this form Mercury gets significantly faster, heightened senses, and feathers start to grow from their skin although they don’t do much.
* They have access to a Vast demiplane similar in appearance to the rolling fields of corn and soy of Midwest America

## Backstory

Mercury was raised in small towns in the middle of nowhere where they were pretty certain they were going to live and die a meaningless, insignificant life. They sought whatever cheap thrills and adventures they could get just to taste a little bit of freedom. One weekend when they were 19, Mercury and a few of their friends decided to cross the border into Missouri and check out a few local legends. While they were stopped at a road side rest stop, Jupiter approached them and their two friends. Mercury's friends turned against them and the three chased them out into the fields.

Usually, getting hunted by a literal avatar of the hunt is enough to make a normal person shit themselves, but it was exactly the kind of thrill Mercury had been chasing.

They were stuck out in the Prairie for an unknown amount of time. Long enough at least for their mother to put out missing posters and mourn the possible death of their only child, but I digress. It was also a long enough amount of time for them to accept this new role pushed onto them as The Everchased, doomed to always be someone else's prey. They were going to make that someone else's problem.

Mercury spent the next few years both befriending and infuriating Jupiter and proudly wearing their new title. They've run and ran all across continental North America and thought that was starting to get a little bit boring for their pursuer.

So now they're England's problem.

## Trivia

* Only two people have come close to actually catching Mercury: Jupiter and a normie police officer who did get them in hand cuffs, but metal chains can be broken if you pull fast enough.
* Mercury collects shiny and loud keychains which they always insist on wearing. It's like spoons on a fishing lure.
