Mercury Black

A jaunty and bitter assassin. Mercury is a pale, young man with gray eyes and gray hair, partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He has prosthetic legs that attach part-way up his thighs. These legs are usually hidden from view due to him wearing pants and a pair of shoes. Mercury possesses an athletic yet slim physique. Mercury is rather care-free and jokes around, finding enjoyment in annoying people in a playful manner.}}

{{He likes excitement and action; he dislikes books without pictures and he finds the cities boring.}}

{{However, when it comes to matters at hand, Mercury displays a sense of seriousness and levelheadedness. However, his carefree attitude may occasionally slip out during combat, like taunting his opponents.}}

{{Mercury also derives personal enjoyment from the pain of others, showing no qualms about intimidating and killing others, even light-heartedly joking about it afterward.}}

{{Mercury does not take insults or disrespect well, completely losing his cool and wanting to lash out violently.}}

{{His father abused him physically and emotionally and that he used to constantly beat him up and call it "training" while telling him that he was weak and relying on crutches, making it obvious he suffered a miserable upbringing filled with hate and misery.}}

{{Mercury carries an immense bitterness within him due to his abusive upbringing by his assassin father, Marcus Black. This bitterness holds over due to the fact that Marcus used his Semblance to steal Mercury's, which he said would return if Mercury became strong enough, which he proved the moment he killed his father. This turned out to be a lie, and Mercury feels as though he has had to work harder than any other member of Salem's Inner Circle due to his stolen Semblance.}}

{Despite his demeanor, Mercury does indeed possess a sense of camaraderie. He values his friends and their companionship, willing to comfort them or even help if the situation calls for it.}}

{{Mercury's weapon of choice is Talaria, a set of shotgun boots that are equipped with a firing mechanism built into them.}}

{{Mercury has a pair of robotic legs. His prosthetics make up most of his leg, including a portion of his thigh and everything below the knee. His prosthetics are also quite durable, being able to withstand significant attacks. Mercury's legs emit the faint sound of servos when he walks.}}

{{Mercury is a very acrobatic and agile fighter who relies upon quickly overpowering his opponent with complex kicks that imply a near-mastery of martial arts that resemble Tae-Kwon-Do. He is also capable of a break-dancing style, similar to Capoeira and makes use of Muay Thai as well. Despite his focus on kicks, Mercury also uses his hands to grapple, block or redirect enemy attacks.}}
