Maria Stark, born 1990, the result of a one night stand between Tony Stark and a her mother. She lived in Tai Po, Hong Kong until she was seventeen years old.
Her mother raised her a Catholic and she attended a Catholic school in Tai Po. She knew she wasn't straight from a young age but only acted on these feelings when she turned twelve. She and other girls would experiment when the nuns weren't around and when she turned sixteen, she started to mess around with some of nuns too.
Maria has always been very intelligent and was at the top of her classes in school. In addition to her school work, she attended Kumon and did extracurriculars like chess, violin, and piano. She's always pushed herself to the extreme when it came to her work and cannot accept anything but the best from herself without feeling insecure about her intellectual abilities. Science was and still is her main focus in life; in school, she often got in trouble for focusing more on it than God.
At the school, she and the other girls were subject to what the nuns liked to call 'divine punishment' which would usually range from a caning to water torture and anything inbetween for even the smallest violation of the rules. She started abusing alcohol at a young age because of this; she found that it helped numb the pain.
In the seventh grade, her mother made her start taking college courses and Maria started to abuse Provigil to deal with the influx of work. In order to further assure her getting good grades, she took to having sex with the higher ups on the school faculty.
Maria was (falsely) outed as a lesbian by six of her classmates. It didn't take long for the entire school to know and even girls she'd had sex with would play along with the bullying. In the locker room after gym, they'd take her clothes, grab her body, and do other things under the justification that she 'liked it because she was a dyke'.
The bullying coupled with her overwhelming amount of work, drug abuse, and unnoticed mental problems led her to having a psychotic break. Maria murdered the six girls who started it all and was arrested after. Ultimately, she found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect and the records were sealed.
After the trial, her mother flew with her to New York to put her into a psychiatric ward. After that, she lived with her father for a short period of time while she finished high school and then she was accepted into MIT. While at MIT, she refused to use any of her father's money for anything other than her tuition, preferring to make her own money.
In college, she started using Provigil again to make it through her studies. She tried to be as careful as she could to avoid something like what happened in Hong Kong happening again. In order to earn money, she took to underground MMA fighting; she was forced to stop after suffering a severe concussion and accept her father helping her financially, much to her dismay.
In the end, she came out of college with PhDs in engineering, physics, and law and a Masters degrees in biology and she immediately entered rehab for her Provigil addiction. After recovering, Maria began working for Stark Industries has been working there since.
In addition to the work she does at Stark Industries, she does undercover work for S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, CIA, DHS, and, on occasion, overseas for the Hong Kong government.
Maria owns two cats, a Russian blue named Borky Burns and Ragdoll named Steeben Roogers.
She can speak Chinese, Russian, and Spanish in addition to English. She's better with Chinese, though, and still sometimes struggles with her English.

Crybaby was born August 28, 1995. She grew up in a problematic household, her only saving grace being her school (and even that wasn't all too great). Her mother was an alcoholic, her father an adulterer, and her brother was addicted to marijuana. She was overly emotional and threw violent temper tantrums because she was unable to cope with her emotions and was constantly mocked and made fun of for crying.
Despite her family's dysfunctionality, they pretended to be perfect when in the company of others. None of their neighbours were falling for it though. They saw her father leaving and returning to be with his mistress at night and saw her mother sending her brother to buy her cigarettes and alcohol. They did nothing.
When Crybaby was six years old, her mother murdered her father and his mistress. Crybaby witnessed the murders and in turn, her mother used chloroform to knock her out, chained her to her bed, and gave her alcohol in a sippy cup so she'd forget what she saw.
She had her first relationship when she was seven years old. She had a big crush on a boy in her class, Alphabet Boy (or Leo, The Principal's Son), an arrogant, know-it-all who constantly belittled her. He was highly possessive and patronizing and had a superiority complex. Eventually, though, she realized that he was never going to love her fully and that he'd never stop making her feel bad and she cut off their relationship and didn't speak to him again.
The next year, she fell in love with a boy in her third grade class, Johnny. Johnny was more compassionate to her, especially considering the way Leo had treated her. Because of the environment Crybaby was growing up in, she was, in a sense, more mature than Johnny when it came to relationships. Them being nine, Johnny had no interest in taking the relationship further; he feared committment as any nine year old would. Crybaby wanted to go to the next level even though he didn't. When he didn't attend her ninth birthday party, their relationship was over and Crybaby was heartbroken.
After her disastrous birthday party, Crybaby was kidnapped by the ice cream man who frequented her neighbourhood. Her mother was too drunk to notice her child go missing and her brother was too busy running the streets, selling drugs and doing dirty work for Gotham's kingpins to notice her disappearance.
Before being kidnapped, she had been buying items from the store; the cashier noticing the ice cream man, gave her a bottle of poison. He tried to trick her with candy but she knew better and told him that she wouldn't be going with him but she did take the ice cream he offered her. He then began to chase her through the parking lot. Crybaby likened this to a game of tag, a very demented one at that, and eventually he caught her. She thought if she tagged him back, he'd go away but she froze.
Her kidnapper sexually abused her until she killed him. After she killed him, she escaped and ran back home. The events traumatized her and she became a different person. At ten, she met Blue Boy who was dating Basic Bitch, a fellow student who he was just dating for her looks. Crybaby didn't love Blue Boy, she was numb to love and didn't care; she wanted to win him over for fun and treat him the way she'd once been treated, she saw it all as just a game, one she lost when Basic Bitch won Blue Boy over in the end.
She burned down the school, unhappy being there any longer, when she was sixteen and returned home to take care of her mother. Crybaby now spends her days performing at bars and clubs in Gotham or helping her brother run his drug cartel.
Eden Willows, born March 26, 1988, the son of a prominent drug dealer and pimp in his hometown. He lived a childhood surrounded by danger and violence. He was a very big mommaโs boy and was very close to her and her grandmother. Most summers and school breaks were spent with his mother at his grandmotherโs home in Long Island.
He and his father werenโt very close to one another; they often had problems with each other. Edenโs first kill was on account of his father. His father put the gun in his hand and made him kill her because sheโd betrayed him, met with a rival drug dealer. After, his grandmother convinced his father to send him away so he wouldnโt get in trouble for it.
Eden didnโt like killing. He hated the idea of it until he was sent to live with a close associate of his fatherโs; a serial killer. The man was Edenโs first love; using Edenโs love for him to coerce Eden into aiding him with the torture and murder of countless men and women. They dated for a little over eight years and throughout the course of their relationship, Eden grew accustomed to murder and even began to enjoy it. Their relationship ended after Eden formed a relationship with one of their victims because she'd reminded him of his mother. He formed a close relationship with her and she manipulated him into killing his boyfriend and she escaped.
Once he realized what she'd done, he tracked her down and murdered her. He went to live with grandmother after and continued to kill and torture as he pleased. Though Eden expected it, it didn't make it any easier when he had to kill her when she found out. The least he could do was make it as quick and painless as possible.
Eden is a head-oriented person; he prefers logic over emotion. He is not lazy or blatantly dishonest when it counts. When he says he will do something, he will do it; no matter what it takes. He strongly despises people who cannot do the same and it's really the fastest way to get on his bad side.
He firmly believes that there must be a winner and a loser in all matters of life. To him, there is no such thing as a 'tie' or a compromise. It can be very frustrating for him when faced with a tie, especially when he can no longer change the outcome to shift the tie of a win or a loss.
Eden is autistic and this, obviously, affects his behaviour in a big way. His usual persona is someone who is very bold and salacious. His responses are usually semi-vague and even a bit coy at times. He doesn't really have a filter when it comes to talking about sex so he can be very sexually suggestive at times even if he isn't particularly attracted to a person.
Now, his true personality is something he doesn't usually let other people see because while he may be a predator, he does actually possess the ability to feel guilt and empathy. In fact, he's hyper-empathetic and hides his reactions to emotions because he is unsure of how to deal with it.
He reacts to his perception of what people around him are feeling and because of this he tends to overestimate the severity of what they're feeling. This makes him feel what they're feeling more deeply than he probably should. For example, when people around are him are feeling some type of negative emotion like anger or sadness, he goes through scripts he's created for himself in order to determine what he can do for them. He might ask if there is anything they need or if there is anything he can get them. He will not try to comfort them any further.
In most situations, he uses what he's seen in his favorite movies or read in his favorite books to figure out what may be the most appropriate action to take.
His stims are important to know because they're a good way to tell how he's feeling at any particular moment because he usually won't say. He carries a Rubik's cube in his pocket at all times of day and can usually be found playing with it. Depending on his emotion and how he's stimming, he might play with it faster or slower.
When happy, he'll rock back and forth and make high-pitched whining noises in his throat. If he's feeling stressed or nervous, he might rock faster and will play with his Rubik's cube as fast as he can ๏ผhe usually tears up so he'll blink his eyes quickly.
If he's excited, he'll get quiet and will quiver violently. He doesn't like to show when he's excited but it's very hard for him to contain so the quivering is the only way he can release that energy.
Being content and relaxed is something he rarely feels but when he does, he'll stim by making peeping noises and. again, quivering but instead of quivering to release energy, he quivers because he's overwhelmed and unsure of how to react when he feels this way.
Now, when overwhelmed or angry, he will feel like he's going to completely fall apart ๏ผhe shakes and might even cry. If he can, he'll get himself to the nearest sink or bathtub and waterboard himself. This helps to ground him. If he can't get to a source of water, he'll repeatedly crack his fingers and wrists and bite at his skin in order to draw blood. Hurting himself gives him something else to focus on instead of his anger or whatever is overwhelming him.
Eden prefers to be in quiet places and have one on one conversations with people. Often, he'll keep his eyes fixated on people's lips when they're speaking. Talking to multiple people at a time can be very confusing for him. When in situations where there a lot of people and sounds, he'll might have a sensory overload. In an overload, he'll shutdown completely and will curl up in a ball and shield his head. It's best to leave him alone until he begins to feel better.
While being overloaded is a problem, so is being underloaded. When underloaded, he'll hurt himself in any way he can just so he can feel something. In a chaotic situation, he'll do the same to help himself make more sense of what's happening.
Light touches are very, very intense for Eden๏ผthey can be pleasurable but very painful or unbearable if he's touched for too long. Rough touches are preferred so he won't mind if he's manhandled or slapped around ๏ผhe'll actually enjoy that more than anything.
Cambions are the children of demons and humans. They can be vile or pleasant depending on their upbringing. Who their demonic parent is affects their powers and strength greatly. These creatures appear no different than humans, blending in with society easily. Until the age of seven, they do not breath, they have no pulse, and cry upon being touched. Cambions display a sensitivity to the divine๏ผentering holy buildings causes them to grow ill, religious imagery disturbs them on an immense level, and prayers to the divine beings burn their ears.
A cambion, unlike a demon, is resistant to the methods used to kill demons. In order to kill a cambion, one needs holy fire or holy water. To slow them down, one could capture a cambion in a Devil's trap or carve one into their skin. This will render them immobile until they heal or the trap is disturbed.
Eve is the progeny of Aamon and a prophetess. Disturbed by her own child and what she may become, her mother coddled and shielded her from the outside world, determined not to allow her child to heed her inner demonic nature. Eve spent her days tending to the family farm with her mother and elder siblings. Her father left after her birth, not wanting anything to do with such a vile creature.
For many years, Eve did well. She went to church though it made her sick each time, she prayed three times a day even though it burned her to hear, and kept imagery of the saints though they kept her awake at night, terrifying her. All she wanted was to be assured a place in the golden realm of Heaven when she died and she did all she could to make sure she could. When she was old enough, she became a nun๏ผsomething she considered to be the ultimate test of her faith in the Lord.
Her life's work was ruined, however, when she had to assist the Father with an exorcism. Not only did it cause her immense, searing pain but it also awakened powers in her that she never knew she had. The demon that was exorcised, seeing it's opportunity, took her as host๏ผthe entity telling her she'd never make it to Heaven, that she must embrace the call of her true father. Adamantly, she resisted, refusing to believe it was so. The entire night she was locked away, she prayed and prayed until she was visited by an entire host of Virtues. These beings offered their comfort and blessings. Their attempts, however, to remove the demon Marchosias proved to be difficult. In turn, the Virtues joined the demon inside of Eve's body, ultimately making her the host to a host of angels and a demon.
It was decided that an exorcism would be of no use and that Eve must be executed instead. Her final wish was to die in the home she was raised in. It was inside the home that she was burned alive with holy fire. After her death, she was laid to rest inside the house which was shortly thereafter burned to the ground. The Virtues and Marchosias guided her through purgatory, helping her to find her way back to the land of the living. It took a great many years for her to tear away and re-enter her body. Finally returned to her vessel, she rose from her grave and found herself in an entirely new country.
Her family's descendants had located her remains and taken them with them to the Americas. Under Marchosias' influence, she drained the members of her family of their life force to restore her body and trapped their souls in the paintings lining the corridors of the mansion.
Marchosias' voice is hoarse and deep, the voice of a man, while the Virtues speak with many angelic voices that sound like that of a running stream. Eve possesses each of their abilities in addition to her own and can take on Marchosias' form of a wolf with gryphon's wings and a serpent's tail or a form that the Virtues have taken a liking to, her body with many mouths and eyes for them to see. It's not often the Virtues wish to take this form though.
Eve is posessive of her home as it's where her grave lies, and considers those who pose a threat to it or her to be enemies. She commands Marchosias thirty legions of demons and carries out the necessary duties of all of her hosts, no matter what they might be.

Energy and strength are attributed to the Virtues. They have dominion over the elements; all nature is subjected to their control. Hence they can raise or appease the tempest. We may profitably invoke them in unforeseen accidents, sickness, etc. We may also have recourse to them for that strength necessary to lead a penitential life, and root out the inclinations of depraved nature.
The Angels of the Third choir, the Virtues, are clothed in blue and girded with gold. A broad golden crown encircles the head and a bright star shines above the forehead. They are as their name indicates personified power or virtue. God assigns them to such persons who strive unceasingly with all their soul to sanctify themselves, and who, even after they have successfully uprooted their failings, still continue to apply all possible remedies of spiritual and corporal penance to make certain their eternal salvation. Some priests have an Angel of this choir ever at their side. Such priests are usually very self-sacrificing, very strict with themselves, and do not tire in mortifying themselves. Such souls are the favored ones of the Virtues. Some great sinners receive such an Angel after their conversion. The Angel admonishes them night and day, and the penitents never weaken in following their guidance, for these Angels have the power necessary to help them persevere. All persons inclined to the contemplative life should call on this choir of Angels for help, for good thoughts alone do not make holy, one needs also strength to persevere and to accomplish this great task.
