Michiel Huisman or Dan Sharman are mercy??

Michiel would be on the older side for Mercy so I don’t imagine it could work, but Daniel Sharman would be a great fit!

BEHIND THE SOUL.

“Perception can be reality, if you work hard enough.” Mercutio proclaims, with a pearly smile and an air of authenticity that scarcely reaches his eyes. His words of wisdom are a cash cow in their own right, second only to his savvy ability to form a social narrative. The second generation of an age old, public relations firm rooted in Florence - he is the Crown Prince of his family’s glossy dynasty. A legacy of papering over realities and harsh cracks, with pomp and circumstance. Many deem it an inauthentic scheme - until its their own reputation is teetering on a very fine line. One way or another, they come - and Mercy is happy to help, for a pretty dime and invaluable insight. Over the years, he cements himself as the go-to for every establishment’s public relations needs. The steady rise of many individuals and causes owe their survival to Mercy. A debt that he does not allow them to forget, each time they threaten the House of Jupiter’s survival. It’s precisely how his rank of a Fighter came to be. The other houses may trade in their lies and debauchery - but there is no power, quite like clout. And Mercy? He yields it like a knife, and backstabs anyone that threatens their position. 

PROFESSION

Fighter for the House of Jupiter - Public Relations Consultant

SOUL CONNECTIONS

Courtney Goldmann - Soul Connection - Low. The antithesis of Mercy’s manicured image, Courtney is the Mercury’s answer to Jupiter’s fighter. A truth-teller with zero regard for tact, image, or consequence - Courtney is the thorn in Mercy’s side. As head of Florence’s premier, online medium - Courtney has the power to revoke any of Mercy’s lies. It’s enough to spur hostility in any room, where these two find themselves. 

Valentine Garcia - Soul Connection - Medium. Everything about her appears like a fantastical image. All honeyed words and tender hearts; Mercy has spent the better part of five years rejecting her image as true. But the cynic finds himself slowly opening to her world view. A righteous influence that competes against his skeptical ways. Everyone needs a guardian angel, after all. 

Andrea Rossi - Soul Connection - Low. The black sheep of an emboldened and grieving family, they appear as the Rossi’s liability. A string of dangerous and irresponsible actions that put Andrea’s sins in the spotlight. After paying a heavy retainer, Mercy is hired to pad over Andrea’s public sins with fluff stories and half-baked lies. And while the business helps line Mercy’s pockets, the sins he is burying is more than mere scandal.
