Made an Ersatz OC! Info under the cut :)

Maria Sinclair, known as "Mar" by most, is a contem soldier, who was in the middle of their training to be a nurse when he got sent out to the Southern front.

"The best way to learn is through active duty" –> had to figure out everything else on the spot. Luckily, Mar was able to improvise quickly with what (incomplete) medical knowledge he did have from their training.

Instead of fighting at the front, Mar is usually assigned to assist the nurses or do wet work, but when he does get sent out, he always has to run to catch up, due to having to change between uniforms at a moment's notice so often.

Mar might seem a bit timid if one doesn't know her, but they're very much capable of putting their foot down and standing their ground when needed, along with generally being helpful, and caring towards the people he considers friends.

Nobody can tell for sure if Mar is a man or a woman, so they get called whatever fits in the moment. Everyone has more important things to deal with anyways. (Which Mar is secretly glad about.)

Despite the circumstances, Mar still has faith in God, having turned to praying to cope with the war. It's not a rare occurrence to hear them quietly pray during battle and most of the time they do come back alive and in one piece!

PUMKIN HI. what is the significance of mars eyes being little suns. is it a super special symbolism thing??

HELLO MOSS, TUMBLR TOOK FOREVER TO NOTIFY ME, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS QUESTION!

(I have no clue if you've seen Ersatz, but if you haven't and like surreal horror, I really recommend it).

Mar's eyes were directly inspired by how God is depicted in the pilot!

When it comes to lore, I mentioned in Maria's introduction post that he prays to cope with everything that happens around him. Prays for guidance, safety for himself and his friends, the ability to help others (especially cos he got sent out in the middle of training), for the war to end soon and so many other things. Because Mar still has faith in God, despite the circumstances.

Originally, Ma eyes were completely normal. They only changed after Mar was killed and resurrected for the first time!

While in the rezzer, Mar saw God and although the memory of what exactly happened gets less and less vivid every day, she knows their prayers have been heard. The Machine tends to eventually "contaminate" those it brings back, warping their appearance to varying degrees, and after Mar woke up from their first resurrection, his eyes have taken the shape of suns.

And in practice, (some of) those prayers really might've been heard, because even though he still had to be brought back a few times, nowadays Mar almost always comes back alive from the front lines.
