ANNE OF THE ISLAND by L.M. Montgomery

Maahes/Yami Marik Bio [WIP]

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Pansexual, male-leaning

Shortly after the events in DSOD, some of the more chaotic Gods decided it was time to stir things up for their own amusement. Essentially opting to create a little bit of controlled chaos. Ultimately, this resulted in Yami Marik's revival as betting material.

The bet was fairly simple: If given independence from Marik would he remain the same or change? Be it for better or worse this concept was quick entertainment for them.

A body of his own was crafted and he was gifted the name Mahrus, which he defiantly rejected in favor of naming himself Maahes.

However, since this bet would require a fair shot at personhood to be effective there were some changes made to the body he'd be given. Most notably the ritual scars were removed, creating a key physical difference between himself and Marik. The eye on his forehead is also there, however, it typically looks like a birthmark and usually only glows if he's about to use one of the magical abilities he's been gifted.

Said magical abilities are granted through a collar with a mini Millennium Rod on it that only the Gods involved in the bet can remove. This is both a convenient way to declare ownership, and therefore remind him why he's alive, and easily keep tabs on him in the event that they may need to interfere for whatever reason. Maahes however sees it as a form of mockery.

Abilities granted by the collar include:

• Healing/regeneration

• Mental Manipulation

• Hiding within the shadows and using them as a form of travel

The Mental Manipulation works similarly to the Millennium Rod but with several restrictions. Unlike the Rod Maahes cannot: Control minds, Render people unconscious, leave portions of his own mind in others, or compel/trick others into believing whatever he wants.

However, he can still, with plotted-out permission of course: Telepathically communicate with others, briefly enter their minds to see and hear everything they do (but cannot leave any of himself there), look into people's memories

But, these actions do take a lot of energy and if he overdoes it he'll need time to recover his strength. The same goes for more intense injuries. He is capable of having weak or vulnerable days due to this.

Aside from the magical abilities, his body is human. He still needs food, can still bleed, etc. Though he is figuring out a lot of his needs without guidance. There are several things that he's reasoned he doesn't need because he's not a natural-born human. He is mistaken and in many cases where he isn't injured but is weak enough to keel over and die the collar sustains him. He is still dangerous while also being very ignorant of many things.

December Headcannons

Roman is notorious for being the one who is singing carols and putting decorations up the hour that Thanksgiving ends.

He has to get more creative each year because he always wants to out do his attempt from last year (Though he has calmed down considerably since he accidentally set the tree on fire with candles)

Roman's gifts end up being so extravagant and symbolic that he has to write down all of the meanings behind his gifts, despite how simple with his presents he has tried to be

Logan is the exact opposite of Roman during Christmas time. He sees no reason to decorate their entire living space, and is distracted by the bright colors of the tinsel more often than not

He'll put a clever wreath up on his door, wear a festive tie, and enjoy a piece of peppermint bark, but other than that, Logan tries to be the adult of the group. He makes sure no candle accidents happen again while watching over the others like a tired mom at the park.

When it comes to gift giving during the holidays, Logan tries to put some real thought and feeling into his presents, but he almost always ends up panicking at the last second and getting the most practical gift for each side instead

Patton already has wrapped the gifts he got everyone by the time it's Halloween, and just spends weeks trying to fit all of his emotions from the past months into letters for the others while bundled up in his many, many Christmas sweaters

The end of November and all of December is filled with Patton baking treats that he had everyone taste test throughout the years. Old classics and new favorites clutter the counter tops- usually accompanied by a fancy decoration or two left behind by Roman

Out of everyone, Patton is the only one who actually likes the cheesy Hallmark holiday movies, but all the sides try to sit down with him and watch a few every year

Virgil used to wholeheartedly join Logan in complaining about the decorations and constant sweets, but now he has taken to caring for the others during one of the few times the sides are as stressed out as he is.

Virgil is the one who'll claim he's trying to "steal Christmas cheer" before dragging the others to a break from baking or decorating or panicking about presents to sit down and just watch a movie

Naturally, he worries about his gifts and over-thinks them more than all the sides combined, but he's usually at least somewhat happy with his results by the time Christmas comes around. (It also is quite reassuring to know that no matter how hard he tried in the past, he's never actually managed to ruin Christmas)

And if he takes advantage of Pattons love of movies, Logan's passive state, and Romans lack of energy after a day of decorating to rewatch The Nightmare Before Christmas with a cup of hot chocolate, well...can you blame him?
