   Keys: Background, Backstory, Lore

   Samarie is a secretive dark priest apprentice and a participant in the Termina festival. In the Vatican City, she was part of an exclusive group of naturally gifted children who were sequestered in the ninth circle of Fiend Petr's Basilica. Here, their bodies would waste away in an ancient rite designed to receive messages from the older gods. Samarie's innate affinity with these supernatural forces is evident in her versatility with magic, which includes blood magic, mind reading, and teleportation through red arcs. However, these rituals have taken a significant toll on Samarie's physical body, causing her to deteriorate to the point where her lifespan is severely limited, a reality that she is acutely aware of.

   During her confinement, Samarie became infatuated with Marina, a regular student at the Vatican. This infatuation quickly evolved into an obsession, prompting Samarie to secretly observe Marina's every move, even resorting to reading her thoughts. When Samarie discovers that Marina plans to visit Prehevil to question her despised father about her mother's death, Samarie decided to travel to Prehevil to help or protect Marina, despite Marina being unaware of her existence. Little did she know that she was destined to become a player in a grand scheme orchestrated by the mischievous Moon God, Rher, who had chosen her as one of the 14 Termina contestants. Samarie is a disturbed and obsessive young woman who will go to lengths to follow Marina. She seems willing to do anything to make Marina happy, including committing acts of violence. Despite this, she is extremely secretive and actively hides herself from Marina and the others while on the train. Has a Radiating Soul.

   Keys: Marina

   An occultist that focuses on the creative use of otherwordly powers. While not as strong with harmful and offensive skills, her abilities are no less impressive when used properly. She was born in Prehevil, and returned to her hometown at her father's request after she learned her mother has passed away. If not dealt with properly, Marina will turn into the Cocoon due to Moonscorch. Marina is a curious young woman who speaks very informally. She often seems ready to speak her mind about any given situation. Has a Changeling soul. As a former resident of Prehevil, Marina is knowledgeable about various parts of the city, and will freely share what she knows with others. She has an intense distaste for her hometown, and does not seem disturbed by the disaster that has afflicted it. Marina dislikes her father, hating his occupation as a dark priest and seeming to resent her time concealing her true sex. Nevertheless, she will appear conflicted by his death, though she states she is glad his lineage will end. Character's Lore: Marina was born in the Church of Alll-mer within Prehevil, where her lineage had been practising archaic, but brutal and cruel rites and rituals in order to appease the old gods of old in the past. Her father is the current leading Dark Priest. Her mother was not an active participant of these rituals, and so wanted Marina not to follow in the footsteps of her father. The life of a dark priest was cruel and a lifetime of servitude to gods of old was not what her mother wanted for her child. Marina was born male, but her mother declared her a girl before her father or anyone else could learn of her sex, and Marina was raised a woman and continues to live as one. She would grow up in a church of Prehevil, and would go off into an orthodox path different from that of the male dark priests. From here, her skills of being a talented occultist would be noticed by the Vatican and their Ministry of Darkness. They even offered her to come and study over there, a scholarship of sorts to learn more about her dark arts. She would take this chance to leave Prehevil, wanting to leave her father's piercing and watchful gaze of scrutiny and jealousy and freely express herself, unlike that of being near by family. Her mother would be proud of her, as she always was. From there in the Vatican, she would learn and continue to refine her art of occultism for some time considering she did say that it felt like a lifetime coming back to Prehevil. She had to go back to that forsaken place somewhere in the Eastern Union because she was sent a letter by her father, informing her of her mother's death in an uncaring manner. Not only was it suspicious, as the two didn't have any sort of connection since Marina left for the Vatican, but also that he was not acting so worried for his wife. Marina did think something was wrong because her father was obsessed with blood magic and some blood magic techniques often demanded the blood of loved ones. She would go back, preparing herself to find out what has happened to her family in Prehevil. Little did she know of a bigger scheme that was going on and that she will play a part in as one of Termina's contestants... Marina is a young girl of about eighteen, with light skin, gray eyes, long gray hair tied in twin pig tais, dressed in a white blouse with a black tie, a long pink skirt and shoes with knee socks.

   Keys: The Vatican

   The Vatican is a militant religious order that produces Skin Bibles, books recounting the lore of Old Gods and Ascended Gods. It is implied that the Vatican serves Alll-mer as their primary god. The Vatican holds the authority to mint and censor the majority of these books, a responsibility that often involves dealing with conflicting copies of the same texts. It appears that the Vatican has evolved from an ancient order of Dark priests who adhered to polytheistic beliefs, worshipping and serving all gods, regardless of their origin as Old or New. While some attribute the dark times to the older gods, the Dark Priests still deeply respect their teachings and remain devoted to their worship. Over time, this religion has developed to the point of establishing a sacred city known as the Vatican City, which houses the Ministry of Darkness. The exact date of its establishment is not known. However, historical records pertaining to the Vatican can be traced back to at least the 16th century.

   The public image of the Vatican seems to center around the worship of the primary god, Alll-mer, as evident in the Church of Alll-mer located in Prehevil. However, it is believed that those in positions of power within the Vatican still maintain their traditional rituals and practices associated with other deities, hidden from the commonfolk.

   Throughout history, the Vatican's hierarchy also included the Penance Knights, an elite and specialized unit based in the Vatican City. These knights were often deployed on perilous and highly dangerous missions where survival chances were particularly low, clad in armors similar to reverse iron maidens with the purpose of cleansing their minds and enhancing their combat potential through pain. The absence of any mention of Penance Knights in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina, which is set in 1942, could be due to the overlooking or concealment of antiquated rituals and brutal practices from olden times. The Vatican also offers opportunities to gifted individuals through scholarships and apprenticeships. Notably, two contestants from Termina, Samarie and Marina, are currently apprentices to become Dark Priests. Marina's father, Father Domek, is also a dark priest, but it is uncertain whether he and his ancestors have ties to the Vatican or its Ministry of Darkness.

   Keys: Dysmorphia, Samarie's Moonscorched form

   If not dealt with Samarie with properly, she will turn into the Dysmorphia due to Moonscorch. In Samarie's moonscorched state, she assumes the form of a towering humanoid figure, whose skin undergoes a profound metamorphosis, functioning as protective armor. The skin from her face has been meticulously peeled off and stretched onto a rim encircling her head, resulting in the loss of one of her eyes. This rim takes on a resemblance to a macabre halo. With the absence of skin, her teeth are prominently exposed, revealing a smile-like expression that seems fixed on her face. As the word dysmorphia reflects a mental health condition centered around excessive self-consciousness about physical flaws, her moonscorched form could symbolize her intense self-loathing, perceiving the monstrous appearance as a distorted "perfect form" in contrast to her true self. Her repeated claims of being "radiating" support this interpretation, suggesting she believes her transformed state exudes a perceived ideal version of herself, despite its grotesque nature. Can be found in the Rher dimension in the Church of Alll-mer, accessible through the sigil in the church's basement. Dysmorphia used Hurting while battle
