Description

Hey look what I found! Something from Marx's past that's totally stupid and cliche! :dummy: Ok, I'm actually going to explain things(for once XD) and I hope it's all easy to understand and that I don't screw up too much with words/grammar. ^^;




:bulletblack:Anyway, this relic is known as "Mermaid's tear" and it's only one in a set of 4. You see, Neptune's daughter(I'm not an expert on mythology and when Marx was created, I was a lot more clueless. ^^;) was the one who created the four, each one representing different parts of her. The first being Destruction, it's from her anger that she couldn't leave the ocean in pursuit of learning about the world. The second one is Sorrow, it's from all the pain and hurt she caused sailors to get close(and that includes falling in-love with some from afar) to them and their families/loved ones when her father sunk those ships. The Third one is Healing, this one is from her love and attempt at redemption from her father for messing with "the laws of nature" that he told her not to go against.(Which didn't work out and that's where the original legend of "mermaid's tears" comes into play, at least from what I knew at the time. ^^;) And the final one is Balance, now this one is the most important one, it's literally the balance between her soul and all the relics. Now this is all questionable, but one this is for certain, all the relics are created and each one appears to have it's own magical like ability. For example, the one in possession of the Sorrow one on will have extremely bad luck in everything and will only cause grief and dispair wherever they go, pretty much giving them the title of "jinx". Whoever is in possession of Destruction will have incredible superhuman(or super anything, whichever race is in possession of it) strength yet at a very deadly cause, it will literally posses them, taking over their body until their very soul is gone and ultimately killing them, but in order to do that, the person has to have it on them at all times(just like with any of the relics of course, BUT if they leave it at say their home they'll only get some of the abilities, though possibly from effects such as going blind(the Sorrow one), deadly head pains(Destruction) heart murmur(Healing) or some kind of brain damage(Balance) but different side effects happen to different people and races.), Healing will make it so the holder can heal anyone/anything from almost any type of pain and to give redemption from other people, and finally the balance will have the holder keep a level head and open to others point of views while being "stable" or "zen like". When all these items are brought together to one holder they cancel out each others side effects or even certain effects to bring out new more stable ones, making the holder of the items the best(so to speak) of whatever race they are.

:bulletblack:Now! Some of you might be asking, "ok, where does Marx come in?" And I'm going to tell you right now. See, back in the 1500's(before we became a vegan, so yeah that was useless info ^^;), Marx was actually a pirate. And he ended up "gaining" (I.E. pillaged/stole) one of the relics from a demon king, not knowing what the relic is/was(well I should say "is", he still has no idea and all the research he did led him nowhere XD). All he knew is that it could possibly bring in more money. When the demon king found out about what happened, he was outraged and kept(well keeps, though it's a different king, he wants the relic that Marx took from his ancestor) sending demons after him. Well, you can probably imagine some of the tough spots Marx was put in because of them, well when they were finally able to find his location anyway. ^^; If you can't imagine some, let me help by saying this, he was accused of being Jack the ripper. At the wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing. So yes, because of that very small pillaging from his pirate days, he has demons after him, literally.

:bulletblack:What was the relic he took from them? Which one? It's none other than Balance! :la: And that's the one in the crappy picture I might add. XD




...I'm probably going to have to change this around hugely huh? ^^; I still want the myth and legend idea in there, but I don't want it to be as cliche and more my own thing but I can't think of anything else to do for it. :icononionsighplz: Oh well, maybe I'll take it out altogether? I dunno....Oops, sorry, ultra rambling! :ohnoes: Sorry sorry sorry sorry!



HOLY IATOLA BATMAN!!!! I WROTE SO MUCH!! You people probably skipped over all this or got super bored and died! :noes: AGAIN SORRY!! Ok shutting up now before this gets too much longer. And if you read everything then I love you for putting up with all this usless crap. You people are too awesome for mere words. Seriously. :iconcryforeverplz:




Enjoy/questions?


Everything(besides Neptune and the legend of "mermaid's tears"):me

P.s. Sorry about the crappy coloring and quality. I honestly don't know what happened there(well at least for the quality, normally my scanner's pretty good about that). *shuts up fully now*
