Have you ever wondered it would be like if Batman was actually a girl, wore tactical gear instead of a costume, and was an orphan who would end up having his little sister getting merked in front of him by the man he was adopted by?

Well if you did you're weird and you need help.

Anyhow that's basically Marko's backstory. But before you continue reading: MAJOR DEAD BACKSTORY HAS MENTIONS OF CHILD ABUSE, SA, AND THE DEATH OF CHARACTER'S LITTLE SISTER

She was when an orphan living in an orphanage in Russia with her little sister Amber after their parents died in a tragic car accident.

From then on Marko would become Amber's new parent of sorts, taking care of her to the best of her abilities.

Things had seemed to be looking up when Marko and Amber would be adopted by a seemingly nice man.

Things were good for weeks, but what Marko thought was care was just carefully disguised manipulation.

At first what started as just a few videos or weird little favors like sitting on his lap, before escalating into flow blown which would be recorded and distributed via online.

Whenever Marko would try to refuse or express discomfort, the man would do everything ranging from gaslighting, blackmail, threatening, to flat out beating her to keep her from speaking up.

Things would escalate when Marko and Amber would be brought to a physical location, a brothel.

At first Marko complied with the sadistic and twisted desires of the clients that came in for Amber's sake. But when she had begged for a break, Marko had been punished, but not directly.

Chained up, Marko was forced to watch as her little sister was... you know what I'm not typing that. But uh I'm sure your imagination can fill in the blanks.

Anyhow, Amber would end up dying from the brutality which is what would finally break Marko's final straw.

That day chained in her room, Marko made a vow to her dead parents, to Amber, to the Gods themselves that she would eradicate these slavers scum, that she would make the streets run red with their rotted blood.

She would get an opportunity to act on this vow when a particularly powerful person, someone from the Mafia( Yeah I know kinda vague but I'm too burnt out right now to conjure up an entire faction and lore so just bear with me) would take a visit at the brothel and would chose Marko.

That was the same day an attack was launched. Assassins from an international cult named the Silent House, swept into the brothel like a plaque, killing security anyone else who even mildly got in the way.

Hearing the commotion, Marko would take the opportunity to rebel, turning on the startled Mafia man. Despite being starved and partially drugged, Marko managed to kill the man, and by the time the Silent House assassins reached the location, he was nothing more than a bloody mess.

The woman in charge of the assassination, Para Parelio, would be impressed by the amount of brutality Marko had displayed, and so instead of just leaving her, Para would take Marko in.

Over the next 4 years Para would become a care giver and mentor to Marko, helping Marko heal from her mental and physical wounds, while also teaching her in the Silent House's ancient manuscript: The Art of Death.

The book went into detail in three main ways of killing, By the Bullet, By the Blade, and By the Cup, aka poison.

Marko would master the Bullet path, being taught patience, discipline, and to be uncannily accurate with her rifle, being able to out think and out maneuver most, including most members of the Silent House. Equipped with these new lethal skills, Marko would leave her new found home to wage her war on slavers.

Over time as she racked up a kill count far into the hundreds, her name began to spread, and she gained a nickname: The White Eagle.

For weeks she would study her targets, track their movements, learn their behaviors. Then in the middle of the harsh Russian winter, Marko would strike, swift and ruthless.

But her way of killing slavers wasn't what really earned her the title of White Eagle. It was the hope, liberation, and freedom she represented, becoming the living embodiment of wrath and judgement.

To slavers, she's a demon, a demon that was just as if not more ruthless than they were. To authorities she was a wild card that was better kept pointed at slavers than themselves. And to slaves, she was an embodiment of hope in a grim world that saw them nothing more than sheep for the slaughter.

Author's note: As of writing the these new messages of this, I'm currently heading back from Tennessee so yeah.
