Peacock - Slight Upgrades

1. #1The Skull Heartselective

   Keys: heart, Skullheart

   The Skull Heart: The Skull Heart is a powerful sentient artifact. Every seven years, it reappears to grant a wish to a woman, twisting their desires into brutality and eventually turning them into Skullgirls—powerful, corrupted beings capable of raising mindless minions and causing widespread destruction.

   The Skull Heart was created by the Trinity, a trio of goddesses. Despite its fragility—it can be destroyed by a single gunshot or kick—it reappears every seven years to repeat its cycle. Women of strong will, like Marie, can resist its mental corruption only temporarily.

   The time to become a Skullgirl depends on the nature of the wish. Selfless wishes delay the transformation, but the heart twists any benevolent intent. Peacock cautioned Marie that resistance is temporary, and even strong-willed women will eventually succumb.

   Double, a shapeshifting servant of the Trinity, offers the Skull Heart to desperate individuals. Fourteen years ago, Double gave it to Selene Contiello, who wished her family back to life but became a Skullgirl, enforcing her will through undead minions. The Heart similarly corrupted Queen Nancy's selfless wish for peace, transforming her into the most powerful Skullgirl.

   Marie, an orphan avenging her friend's suffering under slavers, became Bloody Marie. Her strong will allowed her to focus on destroying the Medici Mafia but couldn't forever resist the Skull Heart's influence.

2. #2The Skullgirlselective

   Keys: Skullgirl, Skullgirls, Marie

   The Skullgirl:

   A Skullgirl is created when an "impure" woman makes a wish using the Skull Heart, which merges with her. These beings are intended to serve the Trinity and are tasked with destroying the world. Strong-willed individuals like Marie can resist the Skull Heart's influence, but even they grow more cold and ruthless over time. Their morality dwindles as the Skull Heart takes over their body.

   Parasites hosted by Skullgirls become corrupted, losing their individuality. It's unclear if they remain separate entities or fuse with the Skullgirl or Skull Heart.

   Skullgirls have a skull and bone motif in their outfit, pale hair and skin, red eyes marked with half-skull shapes, and darkened eye sockets. The Skull Heart embeds itself in their exposed back with blue flames. Over time, parts of their body become skeletal, primarily hands and arms. Spine and internal organs often vanish; Marie’s ribcage exposes no internals.

   Skullgirls derive their power from the Trinity, manifesting in necromantic abilities—commanding corpses, hurling skulls as projectiles.

3. #3The Trinityselective

   Keys: Trinity, Venus, Lovelace, Aeon, Goddess

   The Trinity: The Trinity consists of Venus Lovelace, Aeon, and their mother. Revered as goddesses, they are the creators of the Skull Heart, which plagues the world. Their motives are mysterious, but the Skull Heart claims its goal is world destruction.

   Originally, the Trinity were regular humans from an ancient Queendom, killed by Neferu. They continue to exist in a separate dimension. People worship them at the Grand Cathedral, giving confessions and tithes. "Goddess-speed" is a common phrase for luck.

   They aim to turn Canopy Kingdom women into Skullgirls to destroy the world. Marie resists their control, focusing instead on avenging herself and Peacock against the Medici Mafia. The Trinity sends Double to take her down.

4. #4The Canopy Kingdomselective

   Keys: Canopy, Kingdom

   The Canopy Kingdom, ruled by the Renoir royal family, is a prosperous yet contrasting land reminiscent of 1940s America. Home to millions of humans, Dagonians, Ferals, and Gigans, it blends beauty with despair. The socially-conscious royal family spearheads a strong military and incredible technology. King Renoir’s brutal war campaigns spurred significant technological and cultural growth, especially in technology-magic fusion during the Grand War.

   However, minority groups like Ferals face heavy discrimination, and Parasite hosts are particularly ostracized as hosting a Parasite is taboo. While the Renoir Crown governs the Canopy Kingdom, the Medici Mafia controls its underworld. The capital is Canopolis, and despite peace with other realms, internal strife persists with a new Skullgirl lurking in New Meridian.

5. #5The Canopy Royal Familyselective

   Keys: Royal Family, Renoir, Princess, Prince, Queen, King

   The Renoir family rules Canopy Kingdom from their capital, Canopolis. The current leader is Princess Parasoul, following her mother's death and her father's disappearance. They protect their kingdom using Living Weapons passed down through generations, including Krieg, Hungern, Todd, and Eroberung.

   Though it's unclear how or when the Renoirs came to power, it is implied to have been by force.

6. #6The Medici Mafiaselective

   Keys: Medici, Mafia

   The Medici Mafia: The Medici Mafia, led by Lorenzo Medici, controls parts of the Canopy Kingdom. Known for numerous crimes, they are pursued by Parasoul for justice. Other hunters include Ms. Fortune, Squigly, and Marie seeking revenge, and Peacock for both revenge and sport.

   Despite their criminal activities, they are beloved by the public more than the royal family. A corrupt police force overlooks their crimes. Lorenzo’s children—Vitale, Marcus, and an unknown third son—follow him. Filia, estranged but related by blood, is revealed as Marcus' daughter. Cerebella works in a Mafia-sponsored circus and as a leg-breaker; Vitale is her adoptive father.

   While the Renoir Crown rules the Canopy Kingdom, the Medici rule its underworld. The wealthy Medici appear noble and generous but secretly manipulate or control most of New Meridian’s power figures.

7. #7The Anti-Skullgirl Labsselective

   Keys: ASG, A.S.G., A. S. G., A S G, Anti-Skullgirl, Anti-Skullgirls, Anti Skullgirl, Anti Skullgirls, Lab, Labs

   The Anti-Skullgirl Labs: The Anti-Skullgirl Labs (ASG Labs) were created to destroy Skullgirls, founded by Dr. Victor Geiger and overseen by King Franz Renoir. They were shut down by Franz after the death of his wife, Queen Nancy, when she became a Skullgirl. Originally, there were nine divisions:

   • Lab 1 and 2: Developed technology for other labs.
   • Lab 3: Super-soldier development.
   • Lab 4: Handheld weapon and vehicle development.
   • Lab 5: Specialized weapons.
   • Lab 6: Theonite research.
   • Lab 7: Medical/drug research.
   • Lab 8: Synthetic parasites.
   • Lab 0: Secret lab researching Skullgirl blood.

   Currently, only Lab 8 and Lab 0 remain operational. The known ASG members were created in this order: Black Dahlia, Brain Drain, Dr. Geiger, Big Band, Ileum, Hive, Leduc, Peacock, and Painwheel. Dahlia was first under different circumstances. Big Band and Ileum hail from the same generation before the Grand War. Hive and Leduc followed. Peacock joined later, and Painwheel was developed in Lab 0 alongside Peacock.

8. #8Parasitesselective

   Keys: Parasite, Parasites, Soul Contamination

   Parasites: Parasites are entities that bond with a host, granting supernatural abilities in exchange for nutrients. They form a mutualistic relationship with their hosts. "Remote Parasites" can operate independently but require part of the host's body to remain bound, which can range from hands, eyes, to even blood.

   Parasites are either "regular" (naturally sentient, predate the Skull Heart) or "synthetic" (mechanical, man-made, non-sentient weapons). The first synthetic parasite replaced a burn victim’s (a woman named Ileum) skin.

   Parasites can bond with animals and speak to them. Hosts gain weight when their Parasites eat and are affected when they drink. Parasites vary in age; some are ancient, others new. They live indefinitely with a host.

   Parasites can change hosts if necessary, but both host and Parasite die if forcibly separated. Theonite is the source of their powers. "Soul Contamination" is a deadly mental corruption from possessing multiple Parasites. Implementing Peacock’s two Parasites without causing contamination was a significant challenge.

9. #9Living Weaponsselective

   Keys: Living Weapons, Living Weapon

   Living Weapons: Living Weapons are legendary, self-aware weapons forged by master weaponsmiths. Originating from the Theonite element like Parasites, they have limited sentience. Only certain gifted individuals can wield them.

10. #10Theoniteselective

    Keys: Theonite

    Theonite: Theonite is an important element that's primarily used in Parasites and Living Weapons. It's also deeply connected to the Skullgirl. Theonite resonance refers to energy spikes from compressed Theonite, often found in New Meridian. The biggest source of this resonance comes from the Skullgirl, suggesting she uses or contains significant amounts of Theonite, possibly from the Skull Heart.

11. #11New Meridianselective

    Keys: Meridian, Maplecrest

    New Meridian: New Meridian is one of Canopy Kingdom's most illustrious cities, known for its art, culture, and sophistication. It hosts a diverse population of humans and ferals. The Little Innsmouth district is famous for its large Dagonian community and some of the best cuisine. The upper class lives in the posh suburb of Maplecrest.

    However, a dark heart beats beneath its gleaming exterior. The pervasive and seemingly invincible Medici Mafia runs the city, casting a shadow over everyday life.

12. #12Marieselective

    Keys: Marie

    Marie: Marie, also known as Bloody Marie, is the current Skullgirl in the Skullgirls universe. An orphan with a traumatic past, she became a Skullgirl to avenge her best friend's suffering at the hands of cruel slavers under the Medici Mafia. Despite the Skull Heart's corrupting influence, Marie’s strong will helps her resist full mental control, allowing her to focus on exacting vengeance on those responsible for her pain.

    Her transformation into a Skullgirl grants her immense power, particularly in necromancy. She can control undead minions, summoning and commanding them in her quest for revenge. This makes her an immediate threat to the Medici Mafia and anyone aiding them. In appearance, Marie exhibits the classic features of a Skullgirl, including pale hair and skin, skull motifs, and eye sockets darkened by the Skull Heart’s influence.

    Marie’s violent mission is driven not only by revenge but by a twisted sense of justice. Though she still maintains some level of morality, her actions grow increasingly ruthless as the Skull Heart's grip tightens. Her relationship with Peacock is significant, as they share a common hatred for the Medici Mafia. Still, Peacock remains wary of Marie’s potential to fully succumb to the Skull Heart's corruption. Peacock wants to try reasoning with Marie instead of killing her, if possible, and she feels guilty that Marie became the Skullgirl to protect her.

13. #13Big Bandselective

    Keys: Band, Ben, Birdland, Bird land

    Big Band: Big Band, born as Ben Birdland. Once an honorable detective in the Canopy Kingdom's police force, his life took a drastic turn when he was betrayed by corrupt superiors connected to the Medici Mafia. Ambushed and left for dead, Ben was found and saved by Dr. Victor Geiger of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs.

    Dr. Geiger rebuilt Ben's body using cybernetic enhancements and musical instruments, transforming him into the powerful cyborg known as Big Band. Equipped with an array of brass weapons and instruments, Big Band uses music both as a weapon and a means of communication. His enhanced strength and durability make him a formidable opponent, while his strong sense of justice drives his relentless pursuit of crime and corruption.

    Despite his imposing appearance, Big Band retains a compassionate heart. He acts as a mentor to younger fighters, including Peacock, offering wisdom and assistance in their shared struggle against the Medici Mafia and other threats to the Canopy Kingdom. With his transformation comes the ability to utilize rhythm-based attacks, turning the tide of battle with perfectly timed harmonics and powerful musical blasts.

14. #14Dr. Avianselective

    Keys: Avian

    Dr. Avian: Dr. Avian is the kind old director of Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8, and was also the doctor responsible for creating Peacock, Big Band, Leduc, Hive, and several others. He rescued Peacock after she was mutilated by slave traders and rebuilt her to be able to defeat the Skullgirl, Marie. He also is a fan of jazz music, and used his knowledge of instruments to make Big Band's machinery.

15. #15Hiveselective

    Keys: Hive, Bee, Beezl, Beezle

    Hive: Hive is a bee-like humanoid 15-year-old teenager that Dr. Avian created. She can control her mechanical bees using her Synthetic Parasite, Beezl Bomb, which allows her to control them. Her parasite is easy to remove, even when compared to other Synthetic Parasites. The Beezl Bomb is a mix of an implanted modifier and a wearable suit, meaning suit off and appear normal but still have access to her powers. Her and Leduc are like siblings.

16. #16Leducselective

    Keys: Leduc

    Leduc: Leduc is another Anti-Skullgirl creation, possibly built similar to the likes of Peacock. He's 15 years old, and, unlike Peacock, he has enough manners to stay home with Dr. Avian and Hive. It appears that his arms and legs were removed or amputated, and replaced with technologically enhanced versions. The electricity his body channels is generated by his Synthetic Parasite, the Taranis Generator, which he can use to disable or destroy targets. Most of Leduc's attacks are electrical and stun bolt themed. Him and Hive are like siblings.

17. #17Ileumselective

    Keys: Ileum

    Ileum: The mother figure of Lab 8, she was disfigured during the war before agreeing to be grafted with the Synthetic Parasite "Salamander Shell". Able to squeeze through tight spaces, secrete acid, and wield drills, she is brilliant at infiltration and sabotage. However, the nature of her abilities makes them cruel to use on other human beings. She avoids confrontation when possible, but if pushed to fight, she is the scariest member of her team. She is a veteran ASG soldier and fought the previous two Skullgirls alongside Big Band. She's the first person to gain a synthetic parasite, as she was severely burned, so they replaced her skin with a synthetic parasite, and she prefers to wear a mask over her face.
