intro
this is a selective, low activity blog for mary mason from the 2012 film american mary.established 11.30.20this blog is headcanon-based and heavily canon-divergent. information on my divergencies can be found on this carrd, but please shoot me a message if you have additional questions !
writing
considering this blog is plot-driven, my primary goal is to develop mary beyond what the film gave us, and plotting is absolutely the best way to do that !the time that it takes for me to get a reply out does not equal my interest in our interactions ! this is an extremely low activity blog, and not my main priority.i will get to your reply, i just ask that you be as patient with me as i will be with you !
formatting
i use small font, 40x40px icons, as well as occasional colored text. if this is ever an issue for you, don't hesitate to let me know and i will adjust my formatting for you !
tagging
i use trigger / when tagging any/all necessary posts.again, if you need me to tag something specifically for you, please let me know !
triggers
given the themes of american mary, and the details of mary's story, refrain from following this blog if you are uncomfortable with mentions/possible imagery of; rape, abuse, blood, gore, body horror.i personally have no triggers.i read through everyone's rules prior to following, but i can make mistakes ! if i ever post or reblog something that i did not tag and you need me to, please let me know !
nsfw
if there is nsfw written on this blog, it will not be done with muns under the age of twenty for my own personal comfort.
everything will be tagged as: nsfw //.
shipping
as with any blog, i always prefer to plot before jumping into a ship.that being said, as much as i love to ship, mary is an extremely complicated person that is very difficult to get close to emotionally. she struggles with a lot of trauma, especially in verses set post-film.but with lots of plotting ooc, i am totally open to developing any kind of ship between mary and your muse !
credit
this is the psd that i use made by plutocommissions, though i have edited it quite a bit and added a few adjustment layers. i also use this blockquote psd by plutocommissions.i use this 40x40px border from vc-resources.all of the edits on this blog, unless explicitly otherwise stated, were either made by or for me. i have no affiliation with american mary or katharine isabelle.

lore
Sally Smithson came to town with dreams of children's feet and laughter in a wooden home built by her husband Andrew. But life came not with smiles but with plans of destruction. Andrew worked as a lumberjack - a job with its perils. One day, Andrew's foreman had to pay Sally a visit, forever changing her life. She was alone.Without food on the table and no other option, Sally had to find a way, but the only employment she could get was at the Crotus Prenn Asylum. Nobody sought employment there unless they were in dire need. Just like Sally. Without any education, she started at the bottom, doing the hard night shift.Over the years, her mind had reached its limits, two decades of seeing horrid things that violate the eyes. Memories that are re-played every night. Being abused verbally and physically, by people without limits. Sally saw insanity from the outside, just to catch it herself.Finally she could not take it any more and concepts of purification emerged inside her. She did what she felt was necessary. As the morning staff arrived one day in September - they found over fifty dead patients, lifeless, in their bed along four staff members, also dead.Only Sally had survived the night, but her mind was gone, rocking back and forth non-stop. Exactly what happened is only known by her, but it seems that some of them had been choked as they had marks around their necks. They got her into an ambulance, but that ambulance never reached the hospital. It was found crashed in a nearby wood, all the staff dead and Sally nowhere to be found.
the surgeon's perks
These are Perks which start off only appearing in The Nurse's Bloodweb IconHelp bloodweb.png. After achieving Level 30, Teachable versions of these Perks can be found:Stridor - Level 30
Thanatophobia - Level 35
A Nurse's Calling - Level 40
Once obtained, other Killers will be able to find The Nurse's Perks in their respective Bloodwebs from that point onwards
Stridor
You are acutely sensitive to the breathing of your prey.
All Survivors' Grunts of Pain are 25/50/50 % louder and their regular breathing is 0/0/25 % louder.
"If you don't stop and catch your breath... she will."Thanatophobia
Their courage fades in the face of their undeniable mortality.
Each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor incurs a stack-able 4/4.5/5 % penalty to all Survivors' Repairing, Sabotaging, and Cleansing Action speeds, up to a maximum of 16/18/20 %.
"She plays with us and revels in our pain."A Nurse's Calling
Unlocks potential in your Aura-reading ability.
The Auras of Survivors, who are healing or being healed, are revealed to you when they are within a range of 20/24/28 metres.
"Still attached to the fragments of her past life, she is drawn to those in need of help."
load-out
weapon: the scalpel (?)
The Bonesaw is the primary weapon of the Nurse. Rusty metal implement for tearing through flesh and bone.
When she attacks, she swings her whole body into the swing.
When hitting a survivor, she wipes the blood off with her fingers.
The Bonesaw has a shorter lunge-attack range, but a larger range itself. This means that the Nurse has a bigger chance of hitting them by clicking than the other killers, but less of a chance when holding the attack button down.
power: spencer's last breath
A powerful and violent last breath snatched from Crotus Prenn Asylum Warden Patrick Spencer.
Channelling its energy allows The Nurse to pierce and jump through the Spirit World in a blink multiple times in a row. Doing so leaves her in a state of fatigue.
SPENCER'S LAST BREATH:
Press and hold the Power button to charge a Blink:Blink for up to 20 metres upon activation.
During the ensuing Chain Blink Window, charge again to initiate a Chain Blink of up to 12 metres upon activation.
After either the Chain Blink Window closed or the final Chain Blink elapsed, enter a state of Fatigue (2-3 seconds*).
Grants 1 Chain Blink.
power trivia
Fatigue:
The Fatigue duration is determined by the amount of Blinks The Nurse executed:
1 Blink causes Fatigue for 2 seconds.
2 Blinks cause Fatigue for 2.5 seconds.
3 Blinks cause Fatigue for 3 seconds.
4 Blinks caused Fatigue for 3.5 seconds (no longer achievable).
5/6/7 Blinks caused Fatigue for 4 seconds (no longer achievable).
If The Nurse initiated an attack before going into Fatigue, an additional cool-down of 1 second is incurred.
Blink:
A Blink takes 2 seconds to fully charge.
The Charge duration determines the maximum available Blink distance, whereas The Nurse's aim within that distance will determine the Blink's target location.
The Charge duration also determines the maximum and minimum Blink Reappearance duration.
The maximum Blink Distance is set at 20 metres.
The minimum Blink Distance is set at 1 metre.
The maximum Blink Reappearance time is set at 1.5 seconds.
The minimum Blink Reappearance time is set at 0.25 seconds.
Blink Tokens take 3 seconds per Token to recharge.
The Nurse travels the Blink distance in a set time frame of 0.5 seconds.
The Chain Blink Window is open for 1.5 seconds.
Lightburn:
Due to her interaction with the Spirit World, The Nurse suffers from a unique mechanic called Lightburn, which makes her vulnerable to Flashlights IconItems flashlight.png shining upon her.Shining a Flashlight on The Nurse's body will block her from charging a Blink.
Shining a Flashlight on The Nurse's body while she is already charging a Blink will stun her and force her into Fatigue.
