Marie Buchanan

Biography
Marie grew up in a major city with her well-off family. Her father, Oliver Buchanan, is the inventor of OBSeq. At 12, she accidentally saw her father murder her mother outside their family home. Her father's cruel treatment of Marie for the first 12 years of her life combined with the traumatic event made her too hysterical to control and causing her powers to manifest. Buchanan dosed her with enough OBSeq to put her in a coma for six months and paid off Dr. High to hide her in the Compound. Marie woke there with the memories of the first part of her life replaced with memories of having lived alone in the Compound until that day.

She has been secretly training her Null Tension. The more she trains, the more her early memories resurface. This prompts more and more of a psychotic break, where two different fully formed personalities can neither take control nor dissipate.

Personality and Traits
 Marie is combative, argumentative, and determined. More than anything she dislikes feeling constrained or like someone is limiting her freedoms. She tends to do things only because she's not allowed to and argue points she doesn't agree with just because it's unexpected. She enjoys manipulating others and identifying their triggers. Serious control issues plague all her relationships; she tends to view people as games and is easily bored by them.  As the memories of Marie's previous life start bleeding into her current one, her personality changes drastically.

Abilities and Skills
Marie has one of the strongest Zero Skills in the Compound. Upon skin contact with another, she experiences flashes of their most traumatic memories in a crippling hallucination. As her training progresses, she is able to make Contact and manipulate the memories of the people she is in physical contact with. She can ultimately manipulate up to the last thirty seconds of someone's memory, making them forget something that just happened or believe they are somewhere else entirely.

Vernon Rhine
Marie initially views Vernon as a particularly annoying tool she needs in order to escape.

Josh
Marie is yandere for Josh, despite his obvious lack of interest.
