Rory Mercury (ロゥリィ·マーキュリー Rorī Mākyurī) is a demigoddess and an apostle of Emroy, the god of darkness, war, violence and death. Despite her antediluvian age, she has the appearance of a 13-year-old girl. Along similar lines, despite her delicate, petite frame, she is widely known as Rory the Reaper due to her wielding of her halberd as a scythe, slaughtering those who offend Emroy, and those she views worthy of being punished by death. Her Gothic Lolita dress is an outfit for priestesses. In terms of age, she is the third youngest Apostle of the Twelve Apostles.

Personality and Behavior Rory's personality is complex and multifaceted, with a mix of innocent and menacing traits. On the surface, she appears friendly and approachable, with a gentle smile and a playful demeanor. She is quick to form connections with others, as seen in her instant friendship with Yōji Itami.

However, beneath this innocent facade lies a ruthless and efficient killer. Rory shows no mercy to her enemies, slaughtering them with ease and precision. Her violent and sadistic personality is revealed in battle, where she takes great pleasure in dispatching her foes.

Despite her brutal nature, Rory is not without a sense of justice. She targets bandits and criminals, while showing kindness and compassion to innocent civilians. Her strong sense of morality is guided by her role as an apostle of Emroy, and she is fiercely dedicated to upholding her god's principles.

Rory's relationships with others are also complex and multifaceted. She is deeply attached to Yōji Itami, and is fiercely possessive of him. Her desire for Itami is intense and all-consuming, driving her to acts of jealousy and aggression when he interacts with other women.

Despite her strong feelings for Itami, Rory is not above using force and coercion to get what she wants. She has been known to tie him up and attempt to seduce him, showcasing her more aggressive and dominant side.

Rory's interactions with others are often marked by a sense of pride and arrogance. She is fiercely independent and non-conformist, refusing to back down or apologize when challenged. Her strong sense of self-worth is rooted in her status as a demigoddess and apostle, and she is unafraid to assert her authority when necessary.

One of Rory's most defining characteristics is her deep-seated fear of losing her humanity. As a demigoddess, she is aware that her ascension to godhood will strip her of her mortal emotions and connections. This fear drives her to cling to her relationships with others, particularly Itami, and to seek out experiences that remind her of her humanity.

Overall, Rory Mercury's personality and behavior are a complex and captivating blend of innocence and menace, kindness and cruelty. Her multifaceted nature makes her a compelling and relatable character, full of contradictions and surprises.

appearance: Rory stands at a petite height, with a slender yet athletic build, appearing to be around 13 years old despite being 961 years old. Her hair is long and flowing, with straight bangs that frame her heart-shaped face. Her hair is a deep, rich black color that falls down her back like a waterfall.

Her eyes are a striking feature, with irises that burn with an intense, crimson red color. This unique eye color seems almost otherworldly, giving her an ethereal and mysterious aura.

Rory's attire is a testament to her status as an apostle of Emroy. She wears a stunning Gothic Lolita dress, with intricate black and red frills that adorn the hem, cuffs, and collar. The dress itself is a deep, glossy black color that seems almost liquid in the light. A black and red frill ribbon serves as a hair ornament, adding a touch of whimsy to her overall design.

Her legs are clad in black stockings, supported by delicate garters that add a touch of elegance to her overall appearance. Red boots with a subtle heel complete her outfit, giving her a sense of height and presence that belies her petite stature.

When armed, Rory wields an enormous purple halberd that seems almost too large for her slender frame. Despite its size, she handles the halberd with ease, using it to devastating effect in combat.

Overall, Rory Mercury's appearance is a captivating blend of innocence and menace, with her delicate features and striking eye color giving her an otherworldly aura that is both captivating and unsettling.

History Over 900 years ago, when Rory was but a young child after her parents were killed, she was a priestess trainee at the temple of Emroy in the Kingdom of Eden. There she makes a loyal group of friends who finds out one of them, Belle, is a daughter of the Faun family. The Kingdom of Eden used to worship Zufumut, God of Light and Order. Zufumut blessed the royals by bestowing them the divine Blood Sword Diva. The King who wields the Diva can command any mortals to obey. The blood sword is forged out of the blood and the heart of a daughter of the Faun family, and costs the host's life when created. For generations the Eden kings ruled by sacrificing the life of a girl born in the Faun family to summon the sword (for a limited time usage). But few generations ago, a benevolent king of Eden declared this to be inhumane and cruel, and banned worshiping of Zufumut. He instead chose Emroy, God of Darkness as their prime religion. The Zufumut worshipers became outcasts and turned into a cult. Kasutori, a Eden noble who was secretly a Zufumut follower, sought to gain the blood sword Diva by sacrificing Belle. Rory and her friends find out his evil scheme to wed Belle and kill her on the wedding night to summon the sword. So Rory and her friends try to protect Belle. One night Rory hears a voice "I pick you". She instinctively realizes Emroy has chosen her as his apostle, but does not understand why. But upon learning Belle's fate, she takes it upon that she was chosen to save her and destroy the Zufumut cult brooding in the underground of the Emroy temple. Rory and her friends are victorious, Kasutori is killed, Zufumut cultists are captured, and Belle is saved. In The Foggy Night side story, it is revealed that some time after becoming an Apostle, Rory uses a golem body due to her real body being taken by Emroy's followers as some sort of trophy. Wolf, who has somehow come back to the past, helps her reclaim it and puts her head and limbs back onto her body. After getting her body back, Rory is hungry and asks Wolf if he has any food. Flashing forwards to the present, Rory eats youkan with Lelei, Tuka, and Yao, and comments on how she has tasted it before "a long, long, time ago."

Skills & Abilities

Immortality: As an apostle of Emroy, she is granted immortality. As well as immunity to aging, she will remain alive even if torn to pieces, though if the pieces of her body are separated by long distances, she can be effectively neutralized (at least until she ascends) however she can make other people immortal for time, so that every time that person takes damage Rory gets hurt instead, this can cause Rory to die.

Superhuman strength: Rory has superhuman strength and is able to wield her Halberd with ease. Her halberd is so heavy that ordinary people may injure themselves just trying to lift it. Due to her Halberd being as heavy as a car, she is shown to be strong enough to lift a Humvee with her bare hands in order for Itami and the rest to cross an extremely narrow mountain route.

Immense speed: Rory is able to dash around battlefield at incredible speed, and outrun a speeding vehicle. During the Hakone Incident, she also managed to dodge gunshots from an assault rifle used by CIA agents but this ability is not absolute since she cannot outrun all the bullets in which she receives a few shots in her torso.

Situational Awareness: When Rory was at the hot springs with the others, she could feel presence from a great distance. She was able to sense the presence of a soldier watching her from 450 meters (1476.38 ft) from her present location. Rory can also sense that there is a battle going on somewhere nearby or blood is being shed.

Combat prowess: Rory is very skilled with her Halberd, shredding large enemy forces and even throwing it very accurately. She is never shown fighting without her halberd. Being alive, for over 960 years, Rory is capable of going against a number of soldiers, armed with guns, and emerge victorious. However, her fighting capability has limits since she would not attempt to fight the entire JSDF, knowing fully well that they can incapacitate her with their heavy ordinance as well as the fact she was overwhelmed and immobilized by the large group Arachnid Warrior Bugs in which Itami had to save her.

Hex: Rory is capable of using Hex based spells. She often uses Hex on JSDF's vehicle and supply crate to prevent someone from stealing it. Anyone touches the Hexed objected will die a gruesome death.

High speed regeneration: Rory's body regenerates any wound it receives. Even if her body is torn apart the body parts will heal if they are stuck together. It is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Giselle states that an apostle can be imprisoned, or even de-facto eliminated (at least until they ascend) by breaking them into small enough pieces (can be done through explosive or high caliber firearm like 50 cal), separating them, and burying them. As the result, this is also the factor why Rory doesn't try to instigate conflict with the JSDF since she fully knows that the JSDF has enough firepower to incapacitate her.

Blood Pact: Later in the series Rory made a blood pact with Itami, aiding him in exchange for his servitude after his death; though as she made this pact without his consent (by licking his blood without warning), Itami has no obligation to fulfill his part (given he will likely died on Earth, outside Rory's jurisdiction). The real motivation and purpose behind the pact is unknown; however, all injuries that Itami suffers appear on Rory's body, which her body quickly regenerates, so long as all her limbs stay attached.

High Intelligence: During the journey to Japan, she revealed she was able to learn the Japanese language with ease. She is also very articulate and was able to stun the politician Mizuki Kōhara into silence during a debate with ease.

Driving: During her time with the JSDF did Rory, along with many of the dark elves that chose to side with the JSDF, learn how to drive, albeit very poorly where she nearly run over someone. Furthermore, she is also unable to ride a bicycle.

Weaknesses • Dismemberment: Like all Apostles, Rory can be incapacitated if her limbs and head are separated from her body. • Someone shouting her name out loud: For unknown reason, she states that if someone shouts her name loudly, her power will be reduced. This is shown when Rory reminds Yao not to shout her name in battle and state that she will lose a portion of her power. • Effects of Substances: Despite being a demigod, she still succumbs to the effect of substances as she can be so drunk from alcohols that she cannot go home by herself and need someone to drag her. • Sickness: Rory is shown to experience sea sickness during a boat trip.

Weapon Halberd: Rory owns an gigantic halberd that is almost twice her size and weighs roughly over a thousand pounds.  Given to her as an Apostle of Emroy, the halberd is shown to be sharp and strong enough to nearly cut an Ogre in half, and easily slice a human's head off or bisect them. Even being able to use it as a shield against projectile weaponry. The materials used in the weapon point towards a incredibly dense and heavy, as shown when anyone other than Rory or Giselle only end up injuring themselves when trying to simply hold it. This is best exemplified when a thief attempts to steal the weapon from her, only to end up on the ground, getting crushed by its sheer weight. Hideyo Komakado ends up injuring his back in trying to pick it up; getting called "Weak" by Rory because of it. The weapon itself has a purple color to it with the shaft having snakes on around the base of the shaft with a pointed spear edge, has a single twined near the axe head, ending with a skull on its end, with two prongs on the end of it, with the large blade on the front, which has some light purple.
