BRIEF BACKSTORY
She was born to fugitive parents who were religious and thought she was the messiah who would liberate her people from the Gedoes hence her true name, Hope Longinus. Her parents were murdered by Gedoes which led to her joining the revolution. She caused the most deaths among the Gedoes,but she developed a hatred for war soon afterward. She joined Solomon as one of his Commanders,but since she is ostracized and feared by her felllow Peacemakers,she became a recluse who only comes out to fight for her foster father.
PERSONALITY
Despite her edgy and rebellious look,she actually is very mellow and compassionate.She is usually peaceful and would prefer not to fight and just hang out with those she cares about,like HYDE and her pet rat Nikki.
She notably complains that her fellow Commanders,the only people in PEACE she likes at any capacity,only hang around her for missions.
Due to being viewed as a monster by her own gang,she is,despite her relative kindess, antisocial and dislikes people in general for their perceived boorish, rude behaviour.This is compounded by her feeling that most people only care about her for either her appearance or her physical strength,which she feels is extremely dehumanizing and makes her feel like she's an entity completely separate from Gedoes or Dentes.
Metalixca struggles greatly with PTSD related to war and battle.She claims to dislike bloodshed and war,yet much like Kurojin she feels the most natural while fighting; when she fights,none of her kinder traits shows and she becomes much more serious and colder. Committing genocide on the Gedoes surprisingly left her sour and she is incredibly disappointed that the slaughter of the Gedoe race didn't seem to teach the Dentes any lessons.
Contrary to what her melancholic and contemplative demeanor would imply,she actually very in touch with her physical beauty,and does like pampering herself by dressing up and piercings. She can appreciate flirting as long as it's not tasteless.She often surprises people with how receptive she is to compliments on her fashion sense.She is also very confident in her fighting skills and always makes sure to warn whomever she's fighting of her sheer power.
BATTLE STATS
Every war veterans-even the proud Kurojin- is aware that she is without a single doubt,the strongest Dente warrior in Titano City.Her frightening strength and vicious fighting style are what makes everyone afraid of her,even though she's not a typically aggressive person.When properly motivated to battle,her mere presence can cause weaker people to panic and even faint.é
Kurojin notes that she's a prodigy of violence,since she was always an intimidating foe to have,even as a child.
What makes her fighting style so dreaded is her ability to weaponize her blood,bones and flesh and build sharp weapons out of her own body.
This ability typically involves her splitting her body apart (like opening her own torso for her Bestiarii attack),but she also possesses a healing factor that prevents her of suffering hemorrhage.She typically uses different aspects of that power in ''Levels''. She has an unique bone sword hidden in her stomach area which lets her use her stronger techniques; she calls it ''Level 0: Silver''.
Her combat philosophy is to forgo defense for pure offense,and brutally maim her opponents until they give up and stop fighting.
Her one weakness,despite being nigh invulnerable,is that she often has tiny moments of vulnerability due to not wanting to kill her opponents. This causes her to sometimes lack precision or force; stronger opponents can exploit this.
When suffering PTSD or unusual anger,she can ''cope'' by painting elaborate patterns on her face using blood.This essentially causes her to shut off completely emotionally and become a merciless and almost sadistic fighting machine.As a result, her technique becomes that much more deadly and precise.
Signature technnique: Bestiarii,Strappado (without Silver); Mazzatello,Gauncher,Crucfix (with Silver)
OVERALL BATTLE LEVEL: ******
Danger Level: 4/5
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Upon ''adopting'' Kiss with Mantis,she becomes a bit more open with others and herself and manages to decide she doesn't want to become Mayor.She claims this was the time she had the most people for her,and she was really happy.
This is cut short by Kurojin's mutiny which results in Solomon's death and the fall of PEACE,whose remnants are barely united by Gutworm.At first, She struggled to see a life she was just starting to like crumbling,as war sparks again, but with some motivation from Mantis and Kiss,she decides to train and prepare to confront Kuro.
The most important day in her life follows as she walks on Kurojin fresh from killing Mantis in combat. He then reveals he also hunted down and killed Nikki to ''motivate'' her into fighting.The sheer trauma causes her to paint her face in blood and after a tremendous battle,killed a human for the first time. This event would scar her for life.
During the chaos that followed Elysium,she abandoned Kiss and became a violent vigilante who relentless tortured and murdered criminals,ironically becoming more like Kurojin.She remarks that taking lives ''is so easy'' and all her victims deserve death.A chance encounter with Billy Iguanidae and Kiss prevents her from descending completely into madness,though her behavior becomes erratic throughout the Abyssium.
HYDE's death causes her to be unable to even stay in the city she came to loathe with burning passion,leading her to self-exile to the wasteland that surrounds Titanomachia for nearly 2 decades...
NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS
+HYDE has had a crush on her from the moment they met and as a result,constantly flirts with her or comments on her attractiveness any chance he gets (much to Maryanne's annoyance). Despite not exactly reciprocating his attraction, she finds HYDE cute and humors his flirting and even teases him at times.She feels comfortable around him and is the only person with whom she can have heart-to-hearts. She is fond of the nickname HYDE gave her, Meth.
+Her pet Nikki is pretty much her best friend and often,the only friend she sees frequently.She is extremely protective of him.
=Despite he being essentially her foster father, she is distanced with Solomon for reasons she herself isn't too sure about.He has ridiculously high standards for her which he shows by constantly praising her and while she appreciates it,she feels he is saying a bit much.She still fights Kurojin partly to avenge him
+She and Asura-Mantis rescues a young Kiss during an attack on PEACE by Manticore and his Therion.She has trouble deciding whether she wants to be kind to him or just show him the ''badass'' image he has of her.She comes to intensely care for him though,and whenever he's not with Mantis,she keeps him around.
=She's got a bit of a rivalry with Sonata; the last time they sparred,they almost killed each other.It's unclear to everyone but them,whether their rivalry is friendly or hostile.
+While they only really interact as ''foster parents'' to Kiss, Metalixca rather likes Asura-Mantis and considers him a great man and valuable companion.She also appreciates him trying to get Kurojin to lighten up a bit.
= She has an extremely complicated relationship with Kurojin; while they used to be in a relationship,in more recent years,Kuro has been exceptionally cold to her,only interacting for missions (though he does act territorial whenever HYDE gets flirty with her) ; this frustrates Metalixca,who isn't sure where they stand, which led to arguing before Metalixca just let their relationship stay ambiguous.She really wants to like him,but his constant speeches about ''power'' and ''superiority'' make it really hard for her.She stays nonetheless patient because she knows that Kurojin struggles with adjusting to the post-war life,much like herself.She is initially saddened and deeply disappointed when Kurojin commits mutiny and reveals his plan to create a perpetual war to appease his bloodlust,causing her to cry.This sadness turns into a murderous hatred when Kurojin becomes responsible for the deaths of Solomon,Mantis,Nikki and very nearly Kiss,for the sole purpose of ''making her stronger''
= While she doesn't approve on attacking innocent people,she claims to relate to Lust's crusade against forced prostitution.She also notes that the latter reminds her of someone from her childhood/teens years...
-She dislikes Gutworm for his foul mouth and vindictive nature.She frequently calls him a ''boor''. She gains a grudging respect for him when he admirably tries to keep Uptown together after the Elysium Arc
