DESCRIPTION: Marcella Grace uses two distinct styles of dress, depending on what kind of match she is going to be participating in. Outside of UCTF matches, she could often be found wearing casual clothes for comfort or a sparkling dress to attend sophisicated parties. However, she always wear a silver chain necklace with a cross that is five inches in height, even during UCTF matches. For Swordmaster matches, she usually wears armored plates that protect her legs and some light armor to protect the arms and chest area, but she sacrificed sufficient protection for more agility. Her weapon in a Swordmaster match is her rapier and she also have numerous daggers, wooden stakes, and even Bowie knives located on scabbards fastened to her belt, legs, and behind her shoulders.
For NRA matches, which she is more comfortable fighting in, Marcella doesn't wear plate armor but rather a light kevlar vest for protection. She also wears a white leather trenchcoat (with a red Victorian cross design imprinted on the back of it) that carries several of her weapons, and would also have several holsters attached to her waist, legs, and just above the ankles. For weapons, she has experience with numerous types of guns, but for the UCTF matches, she uses a Heckler & Koch MP5K semi-automatic which is compact enough to fit inside her trenchcoat interior pockets, a 28-inch barrel Browning 10-Gauge Stalker shotgun, and if she wants to reduce vampires or UCTF NRA opponents into swiss cheese, she would use a SIG Commando 552-2 P automatic. Her primary handguns are her two .357 Magnum Desert Eagle pistols.
In any match, she can be brutal if she has to, but when going against a vampire or the like, she would most likely not try to get a short victory... but rather to drag out the match as long as possible so that the opponent would suffer as much as possible. Sometimes she would bring along her dog Clement, whose bite can be rather painful for those with certain allergies to silver due to the silver tips on his fangs. Normal bullets and blades cannot hurt the dog due to a dormant demon inside of him, but blessed/holy weapons could.
HISTORY: Although her real name is not Marcella Grace (her first name has a connection to the Roman god of war, and her last name is clearly theologically-themed), it is a name that she has used for herself for around a decade. Born in England, she lived in the city of Manchester for most of her childhood until the age of 13. By that time, she was ambushed in a dark alley by vampires, and was about to killed when a vampire hunter arrived and killed the aggressors. The vampire hunter then adopted her and took her to Paris, France where they separated and she was sent to a special school in Venice, Italy under the care of the Holy Vatican Paranormal Agency, a strictly Roman Catholic branch that deals with battling the creatures of the night ranging from vampires to werewolves to zombies. She was raised surrounded by hard physical training, Christian theological dogma, and a growing sense of hatred toward vampires that basically got to the point of fanaticalism. She graduated from the school at the age of 17 and became an offical vampire hunter for the HVPA in its headquarters in Vatican City.
Now hunting after vampires, evil beasts, heretics and anyone stupid enough to piss off his Holiness, Pope John Paul III, Marcella travelled all over the world, and eventually she was given a companion: her doberman named Clement. Yes, this was the same dog that interfered at the end of the Jann Lee vs Mercy Marks match in Philadelphia. She currently lives in Los Angeles, and became business partners with occult spiritualist Lo-Ruhamah several times battling a large vampire clan called the Fox Tears and their leader Aldan Diez. However, when a mission in Catalina Island ended in failure and resulted with the entire population in the island becoming vampires, she refused to talk with him and soon afterwards Lo-Ruhamah dissappeared, having found his arch enemy Sean Rarwhick. Now she entered the UCTF after monitoring it for months, with a purpose of confronting anyone in her category of being creatures of darkness... and perhaps even excommunicate (which means "exterminate" in her vocabulary) them.
SPECIAL MOVES:
SWORDMASTER MATCHES
Cross Slash -- Marcella slashes vertically onto the opponent's body and then follows that with a horizontal slash in one fluid motion
Laudo Thrust -- Marcella stabs once through anywhere on the body with her rapier and then punches him/her on the face with her other fist, pulling out the blade once the opponent stumbles back
Holy H20 -- The vampire hunter pulls out a vial of holy water from any of her pockets and throws the blessed contents onto the face of the opponent. If the opponent has certain allergies to this kind of stuff, the water would burn the opponent. If not, then it would just either distract the person or makes him/her pissed off
Wooden Cross -- As if she wanted to carry along the tradition, she would pull out a wooden stake and try to stab at the opponent with it, most often to the chest area
Canine Fury -- If her demonic doberman Clement is nearby, Marcella would whistle and order the dog to fetch, using the opponent's sword arm as a stick. Once Clement has his powerful jaws clamped on the opponent's arm, Marcella proceeds to attack. Purely intended as a distraction move, but if the opponent has weaknesses to silver, then it would produce a lot of hurt to that person...
NRA MATCHES
Holy H20 -- (see above for description)
Saving Grace -- Marcella executes a roundhouse kick to the opponent's face, then goes the opposite direction for another roundhouse kick, and once she stops facing the opponent again, aims with her pistols at point blank and open fire
Heavenly Steps -- Due to her associations with Lo-Ruhamah, she made a variation of one of his moves, in which she literally climbs up on the opponent's body as the person was still standing, and once gets above the opponent, kicks the person on the head and then fires downward at him/her with her pistols
Canine Fury -- (see above for description)
Baptism in Blood -- This move can be regarded as Marcella's finisher move, even though it's NRA-Only. She whips out her SIG Commando 552-2 P automatic and riddle the opponent with several hundred rubber bullets in a span of a few seconds, and she would do that at close or point blank range. Once she feels she had done enough, she smacks the opponent with the large gun on the face, sweep him/her to the floor, and pulls out her two Desert Eagle pistols. Then she proceeds to pummel the downed opponent with high-powered rubber bullets until the victim is knocked out completely.
