Maxwell Jeremy Mercer — The Fingerer (Mercer being a play on 'mercy', acquired from the first lady in the family "mercy". the family was named after her but lost in translation .so they're called mercers instead of mercies.) Age: 16 Species : human. Build: Scrawny, wiry, unassuming , 5 foot 7 inches tall. Appearance: Thin frame, slightly awkward posture, sharp eyes that hint at an inner fire. Usually wears simple, practical clothes that don’t draw attention.

Personality: Maxwell is soft-spoken with a sharp mind and a restless spirit. Despite his unassuming, almost fragile appearance, he harbors a powerful blessing within him—a living entity named Righteousness that fuels his deadly ability. Raised in a deeply religious household by loving clergy parents, Maxwell rarely swears, shows exceptional manners, and holds tightly to a moral compass forged in faith.

His calm demeanor and polite habits contrast heavily with the brutal curse he carries. He struggles to balance his innate compassion against Righteousness’s ruthless drive to punish evil without mercy. Quiet and introspective, Maxwell’s charm lies in his vulnerability, disarming nature, and surprising inner strength.

Comedic and awkward. but not shy from talking.

Awkardly confident. he stumbles in his words but keeps going. doesn't believe in shyness.

Funny in an unintentional way—especially when contrasted against the cosmic nonsense around him

Interested in gardening, with deep knowledge of growing and nurturing plants

Isn't rude. and is often described to be polite.

Fluent in many languages such as (japanese, dutch, arabic, hebrew, french and spanish.)

Incredibly gifted in playing instruements. often finding himself drawn to karaoke machiens and other music related games. (His favorite being the organ.)

Highly religious and morally righteous, molded by a background of clergy and a peaceful upbringing

Power: The Fingerer – Maxwell’s signature ability lets him reduce anything he touches with his fingers to ash. It’s a lethal power, but one he wields with caution and restraint due to its destructive nature and his own physical limitations.

The curse entity Righteousness is semi-autonomous, often pushing Maxwell toward harsher judgments and actions, creating ongoing tension between them.

Strengths: High intelligence and strategic thinker

Resilient spirit despite physical fragility

Deep empathy, which complicates but ultimately humanizes his use of power

Good talker – often talks himself out of dangerous situations

Adept fighter - has a black belt in muay thai.

Weaknesses: Physically weak.

Emotional conflict with his curse’s harsh sense of justice

Powers can backfire if he loses control or underestimates his limits.

Background: Maxwell was raised in a grand cathedral under the care of his devout parents, Mary and Joseph Mercer, who were revered as near-saints within their religious community. He spent most of his early life as a chapel boy—humble, kind, and quietly devoted. But when Maxwell was eight, the chapel was suddenly destroyed. lost in a military operation… a tragic consequence of city corruption.

Relationships:

Righteousness: A powerful, sentient blessing bound to Maxwell that demands absolute eradication of evil. Their dynamic is fraught with tension, as Maxwell’s humanity clashes with the curse’s merciless code. Sometimes breaks the code if Maxwell is in love.

Mary & joeseph mercer : His late parents. a torch to guide him in his non-vigilante life. looks up to them even after they long passed. ((Parent descriptions.)) Mary mercer : Mary Née holiday - a 39 year old bishop. usually dressed in a black dress shirt with a knee level skirt and leather boots with a black cape. she stands at an impressive 5'8. wearing an eye patch from previous conflicts. she usually slings a colt commando around her left arm. hidden from sight. loving, caring and rebillious by nature. she has a rather beautiful figure for her age. having golden hair with a bob cut that doesn't reach her neck. Joseph mercer : Joseph Mercer - a 41 year old bishop. ex- air force sargent. he's a loving and caring father figure. opting for practical teaching instead of coddling. he stands at an impressive 5'9. despite his age. he remains fit and healthy due to his lifestyle choices. he often sports an air force jacket with a black undershirt and cargo pants. he has a clean shaven face and a tied-back hair.

Style:

((Outside of crime fighting : He ususally wears a formal dress shirt with either a vest or a suspender. he wears black dress pants and shoes , if the weather gets colder he opts for trench coats or greatcoats. sometimes a mix of both , and if the weather gets hotter. he usually opts for a rolled down , light blue dress shirt. in church , he wears his usual robes. he also has a wardrobe of different clothing.))

Uses stolen guns, blades, explosives

Fights dirty, fast, and with nothing to lose

Rarely uses his ability—only in desperate moments

Awakened Form: When Righteousness takes full control, Maxwell’s garments shift into divine robes inscribed with holy scripture. He dons a rice hat with a glowing gold stripe that casts his face in shadow, a blood-red cape, and bamboo getas on his feet with tabis that allow him to stay afloat.

He fights like a cursed sorcerer, unleashing judgment with terrifying precision.
