[cyberneticatoms]

no way is that MERCURY MIDWINTER..they’re a 32 year-old HUMAN notoriously known for being ARROGANT & RASH but there are some people who have seen them being QUICK-THINKING & DUTY-BOUND. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of being handed a folded flag, the smell of gunpowder, and driving so fast you’re pressed against your seat, but that could just be because they’re considered the TROUBLED, BUT CUTE around town. just keep an eye on them  &  see if their true colors shine through..

❖ Mercury was the second born son of a normal middle class family, his older brother was the golden child. He was the accidental baby, chasing after his older brother for attention. Most of the time his parents pushed him aside in favor of his older brother. ❖ His brother though seemed to enjoy having him around, bringing him along despite their parents protests. As he grew older, he started resenting him more and more. Constantly being compared to him, either he met expectations by doing as well or he failed to meet them all together. ❖ Like their father his brother joined the military, moving through the ranks at a rapid pace. The expectation was Mercury would eventually enlist, something he dreaded knowing it just be another way the two would be compared. ❖ He'd started acting out in school, if he wasn't going to be famous like his brother he'd be infamous. His behavior only got worse after his brother died on duty. His parents turned the house practically into a shrine to his brother. ❖ Eventually running away from home, tired of missing his brother and tired over how obvious his parents were about which son they wished they'd lost instead. ❖ It didn't take him long to find himself in DFW, eventually being dragged to the Skyport Mafia after managing to carjack one of the Capo Turbo's cars. ❖ He didn't really have any options other than to join, working under Turbo. Splitting his time between being a proper soldier for the Mafia and annoying the hell out of his new boss. ❖ This is also how he met one of the other soldiers, called Umbra, the two starting off with antagonistic relationship eventually into one of mutual respect. With them nominating him to be the one to watch out for the Underboss' younger sister, having a proper job as a delivery driver. ❖ Essie was sweet and cute, despite how bad of an idea of it was, the two were flirting during their shifts and hanging out outside of work. Conflicted when he realized he had feeling for her and Umbra, eventually confessing first to Umbra. ❖ Which is how he found out the big secret, after Umbra stopped laughing, that they and Essie were one and the same. With the way things were in made more sense to publicly only date Essie, while continuing a platonic work relationship when she was Umbra. ❖ He's fairly happy with how his life ended up, even if he sometimes wonder what his brother would think about it all.
