.__[size=1]General Info[/size]__.
Full Name: Mercedes Phoenix Graham
Pirate Name: Bloody Mercy
Pirate Name Explanation: Mercedes is a Spanish word. It means Merciful. Mercedes' nickname when she was a child was Mercy. Also, it is said that when she was killing someone should they beg for mercy she would lean down and whisper in their ear; "I'm right here." before cutting out their tongues and killing them.

The meaning of the word Phoenix is Blood Red. And while Mercy Blood Red is a terrible name. She switched it around to make Bloody Mercy.

Age: 17
Gender: female

.__[size=1]Appearance[/size]__.
Overall Appearance: Mercedes’ long dark brown hair can often be found down and curling about her shoulder blades. It has a gentle reddish shine to it at points accenting off the dark chocolate brown color. The ocean hair keeps her hair wavy and soft. It falls till about the middle of her shoulder blades when she doesn’t have it up in a bun. This is very rare and usually only happens once in a blue moon.

Mercedes’ eyes are brown like her hair, but unlike her hair they are a rich dirt color. This is opposed to the dark cocoa bean brown of her hair. Towards the outside farthest away from the pupil there is a lining of darker brown. But then it turns to that medium brown around the inside. There is a diagonal scar on the right side of her forehead cutting through her right eyebrow. Across her thin stomach there is another scar. It runs down her stomach and over her belly button. Mercy’s not tall, but not short either. She’s about 5'2" with a curvy figure and Spanish hips.

Most of the time you will find Mercy in black silk breeches she got in Asia and a corset of some kind. She always has daggers of some kind hidden in her clothing; and hidden very well are they. You would never think she could hide them, considering her clothing is usually tight to her skin for easy moving, but they’re there. She prefers to wear no shoes at all, meaning her feet are usually dirty, but she does own a pair of typical sandals in which she can hide, of course, more weapons. With that, she wears a belt in which you’ll find her prized possessions, two diamond encrusted daggers, along with two pistols and a sword.

Living on the ocean will do worlds for a person’s skin. She’s got a clear complexion that has been tanned by the sun. Her hands are no long the dainty hands of a lady but the rough hands of a sailor. She’s proud of that, because it means she’s good at what she does. Still left over from her former days is Mercy’s posture. She stands up straight and walks with her head held high. She’s a person to be scared of.

.__[size=1]Personality[/size]__.
Personality: Feisty, for starters. She’s got a mouth that will voice any opinion she has. Mercy never was one for that whole “speak when you’re spoken to” thing. She’ll speak if she damn well pleases. Mercy knows she can kick ass and isn’t afraid to do so. Sometimes she kicks ass just to kick ass. Mercy will talk back too. She doesn’t like authority figures and she certainly doesn’t intend on listening to them. Why? Because they’re not the shit they make themselves out to be, thank you very much.

However that’s not to say she won’t take orders from her captain. She’s not an idiot; the sea is her life and she wouldn’t mess that up. She’s always willing to do something for her captain and does it to perfection. Yes, admittably, she can be a bit of a perfectionist. That comes in handy for Mercedes because perfection makes the captain happy. A happy captain makes everyone happy.

You could describe Mercedes as...trigger happy. Not so much trigger though, because daggers, swords and knives are really her expertise. She’s an expert at these things. Before Mercedes turned full pirate she was an assassin to hire. She’s one of the most deadly Pirate Assassins in the Caribbean. She was good at her job and now she’s a kick ass pirate. If you’re going into a fight, Mercedes is the one you want.

.__[size=1]History[/size]__.
Personal History: Born on the cool October day the 31st, Mercedes Phoenix Graham was brought into the world in Spain. Her father was a man of rising nobility and they were very well off. She was a restless child and followed her older brother around constantly. She got her mouth from him along with her trait of being very opinionated. While her brother thought it was quite hilarious, her parents looked down upon the small child for it.

Her parents hadn’t actually wanted another child. All they needed was a boy to bring on the family name and fortune, which they had in Peter. Mercedes was a pure accident, and while they tried not to show it, she was treated rather second handedly. All of that changed when her family was murdered one September night when she was only 6 years old. Added by her older brother and a servant she managed to get away. But the last thing she ever saw of her brother was him struggling against the hold of two large henchmen. For a year she lived on the streets, a meek little girl. Mercedes told no one who she was. But somehow they found her anyways.

That was the first time Mercy ever killed. They came after her one night, and armed with only a steak knife and her skinny body and quick reflexes, she killed the man after her. Soon, she was paid to make her kill. It was a messy first kill; she was so knew. But the more jobs she did, the easier they got, and the better she got. Soon Mercedes was top notch. But she could feel the sea calling her name.

Mercedes came aboard the ship with the intention to make the seas safer for people like Jack Sparrow to roam. She’s not afraid of the stupid Navy. They’re not much different than the people who killed her parents and the guy who tried to kill her. She’s often found on the corner on the ship staring out into the never ending ocean.


Family:
  • Father: Duke Marcus Graham
    Mother: Dutchess Sari Graham
    Brother: Peter Graham [3 years elder]
Love Interests on TTC: none yet but she's the type to fall for the forbidden British Navy officer or such

.__[size=1]Conclusion[/size]__.
Any extra information we need to know about? Just so you know, her brother’s still alive. But she doesn't know that.

RP example: ”You’re BLOODY kidding me.” Mercy snapped, her brown eyes narrowing at the boy. “This is by far the single stupidest thing you have ever come up with. EVER.” Mercedes advanced towards him slowly, as he stumbled backwards. She might have been being a little harsh, but who was to say she was? Stealing the daughter of one of the most noble and respected men in England was a suicide attempt. Plus, Mercedes couldn’t help but be a little afraid, though no one could tell by the fire in her eyes.

Mercedes had left money and riches and nobility behind her 11 years ago. What would happen if she did do this, and they got caught? They could try and hang Mercy; they had tried it before. But worse, what if someone recognized her? When Mercy looked in the mirror all she could see was her parents; she had her father’s eyes, her mother’s smile, her mother’s facial structure. All she needed was to run into one of her mother’s old friends and BAM.


“Is Bloody Mercy scared?” within seconds Mercy had tackled Joshua to the ground, a knife to his throat. “What did you say?” she growled, pressing it hard against his throat. A spark of fear danced in Joshua’s eyes. He flipped her over scrambling away from her. “Nothing worth repeating. Now lets go.”

You are [size=7]Accepted![/size]

However, I need you change Mercedes's clothing. They didn't wear capris back then, they would be called breeches. Also there wasn't such a thing as a tank top. A female pirate would normally wear men's clothing to hide the fact that she was a woman because women were not allowed to be on board ship. But for rp purposes, you could make her outfit more femine by giving her a corset or bodice to wear over a muslin blouse.
