==Maria "Mercy" Quintillano==
'''Mutant Human Psyscape 'Third Eye' Psi-Ghost L1''' (XP: 0/2050)<br>

'''Alignment:''' Unprincipled (Selfish) 

'''Description'''<br>
''5'9", 140 lbs, dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, tanned tattooed skin'' <br>
Mercy is the kind of trouble most people lack the willpower to avoid.

She never attempts to disguise the fact that she is a predator walking amongst her prey; it's the very allure that draws people into her net. The unobservant read it as a sexual thing and trip over themselves to stay within her aura. Those more sensitive are aware that the game extends further than that, but it still takes an act of will to not be drawn in.

It's more then her magnetism or her haughty self-confidence. It's the intoxication of the candle to the moth, the big win on the horizon to the bottomed-out gambler, the middle of the bottle to the alcoholic. It's the certain, inevitable doom that waits on the other side of Door Number Two.

Mercy is clearly not good for people's health. And they love that about her.
