Maria Lexi

History
Maria was born into a loving family in London, having a stable and normal early life but only really excelling in PE at school. She decided to join the military, intending to climb the ranks and make a name for herself.

Early in Maria's Military career she joined the African war, and soon experienced the horrors of being a solider when her team was betrayed and almost entirely slaughtered, only Maria and one other team member she managed to save returning alive. For a while Maria continued to serve, but was severely effected by what happened going though phases of paranoia at being betrayed again and over-protectiveness for anyone on her side.

Maria continued to protect those around her desperately, never wanting to see more death than necessary. This attitude eventually lead to her dismissal as she became unwilling to fire on some enemies or preform some acts if she felt the situation could be handled more humanely.

After returning to her home in England Maria fell into a short period of depression, losing sight of what she wanted to do with her life and still traumatized by the deaths she witnessed and the people she failed to save. She eventually came to the realization the only way for her to truly change the world into a better place for all was to fight for the causes she felt were good, so she became an independent mercenary.

As a mercenary Maria was very picky with what jobs she took on and often sold her services for far less than they were worth, even to the point of barely being able to sustain her way of life. Maria favored jobs involving rescues and protection, but would take harsher jobs if she felt the cause was just and the means were necessary.

Even when working with other mercenaries far less virtuous than herself Maria could not stand to let them die and continued to risk her life to protect them, however at this point she had gotten very good at protecting people.
