"Turn back now, or I will gladly turn you away myself!"

- Marcella to a small, independent anti-psychic unit heading to the Psychic School Islands

Marcella Beaumont is the head of the Shepherds, and the top of all military forces on the Psychic School Islands. She’s a “Super Psychic”, and the daughter of Marc Beaumont, the man who started the Psychic War.

Appearance
Marcella is nearly always wearing her blue military uniform.

Marcella has long brown hair and blue eyes. She always wears a blank or serious face, but can wear a cruel smile in combat.

She also have an high-tech exoskeleton she wears, which isn't there to increase her ridiculous strength, but to carry weaponry.

Personality
Marcella is a battle hardened warrior, and she has lived a life close to the horrors of war; a life which would harden anybody. Marcella is a force of will; strong, decisive, calculating and ferocious- “she’s one who could easily lead an entire war effort and win”, is a thought which comes across most who meet her.

Marcella, though not much, did have military training- Marc pushing her into army, navy and air force training. She later continues training herself, even into game theory, marines and special ops. Marcella knows all the tricks in the book. The “God of War”, as one general delicately described her.

Marcella is compassionate as well; suggesting the idea of the Shepherds, and once diving into the middle of heavy combat to rescue one of her Shepherd teams. In combat, Marcella wears a smile which any enemy should be afraid of; a confident smile with a cruel aura.

Marcella has a will of iron, one which never wavers, and will keep pushing. It's said even mind control doesn't work on her.

Background
Marcella is the kidnapped daughter of Marc Beaumont, the man who started the Psychic War; the war which broke the Earth, and drove humanity close to extinction. Lumi and the Psychena remember the war through various means after Michelle remade the world into its current self.

Marc, with what remaining power he had after Lumi almost obliterate him, also "survived" the remaking of the world. He was weak, and he was like a foreigner to this world. After regaining his strength, he realized almost all his powers were gone- there's no way he could find Lumi and exact his revenge. So he developed a plan.

Marc knew his genes carried mighty psionic power, even if he couldn't use it right now. So he set out to find a woman with equally impressive genes. What he found was a young girl- just born, who carried unusual genes. So he kidnapped her from the hospital, using what remaining power he had to avoid be noticed. The Genes this baby girl- "Marcella" Marc egotistically called her, had "Super Genes". Super Genes were a bi-product of psionics, a mutation of the physical condition which improved it drastically. Marcella was the first discovered "Super Human".

Marc saw how the power of Psionic Strength could increase one's physical power in orders of magnitude, so what would happen if that came off the back of Super Human strength, which would already be five to ten, or more, times greater? Marc couldn't wait to begin his experiments, to create a "Super Psychic". A Psychic with the Super Human mutation.

He put Marcella through experiment after experiment, it was horrendous. He added his own psionic genes to Marcella's, trying to create the ultimate weapon- he even tried adding what he had left of Michelle's DNA, but full integration failed each time. He took his experiments further and further each time, and each time he put Marcella through more pain, and gave her more injuries.

This continues for seven years, seven years of hellish experiments. He tested a serum on her that might help to integrate his or Michelle's DNA, but once again, it failed to work properly. About now, one of Marcella's natural Super Mutations was really coming ahead- her regenerative abilities grew with each experiment. It was really impressive for Marc to see such a thing, and it wasn't psionic. But that last serum did do something however. It gave Marcella access to Telekinetic Force and Psychic Energy, and opened her psionic doors to her spirit and mind.

Her regenerative abilities grew and adapted with her psionics, and were forming into a state of regeneration where she simply couldn't die- a perfect state of immortality was blossoming, but she didn't know this yet. Marc was putting Marcella through the ringer with military training, as well as teaching her about game theory and strategy. He never let her leave the house, and told her often about the Psychic War, and how his plan for a utopia was stopped by Lumi Faraday, and that she needs to kill Lumi Faraday.

Marc had been sending her out on missions often, to defeat random gangs and criminals- "basic combat training" as he told her, the girl that didn't know any better. She was becoming the weapon Marc wanted. Marcella even boarded a military warship, and went through all the motions of stealth in confined spaces. Two years later however, this all failed.

Lumi had gotten word of Marc's plans, as best as he tried to conceal them, and she went at him with righteous fury. Marcella was loyal to Marc, and stepped up to defend him, but Marc realized on thing- the folly of his ambition. He's been raising Marcella for sixteen years... Which means Lumi has been mastering that "god-like" power for sixteen years. Lumi "fought" with Marcella, and as they "fought" (it was one-sided), Lumi was talking to Marcella, and why she fights for Marc, what he's been telling her. Lumi couldn't let Marc escape though, and left Marcella to give chase.

Lumi finally put an end to Marc once and for all. But Marc had one last trick- a bomb he was using all his psionic might to conceal. One he put in Marcella as an act of desperation.

It exploded.

Marcella, the building, and he surrounding area went up with a horrifyingly powerful explosion. Lumi was kicking herself. She tunnel visioned onto Marc, and didn't notice the bomb. Lumi wasn't even scratched though, the point of that bomb was entirely desperate. Lumi never got the chance to save the girl. However, all was not lost. Lumi noticed something, a miracle if there ever was one. Marcella's body was reforming. Lumi slowly walking over to the girl, a girl who seemed to have regeneration powers and immortality matching Lumi's. After the girl reformed... As the realization Marc was going to use her as a re-usable suicide bomber, as she realized she was a monster, Lumi gave held her close...

Marcella's tears flowed for the first time in her life as the pain of her "death" seared at her nerves like the fires of hell. Lumi took her back to the Psychic School Islands, where she gave her all the rest and comfort she needed. Lumi told Marcella the details of her powers, of her mutations, of what Marc had done to her. Marcella didn't know what to think. The person who raised her had killed her, the person she had been raised to kill was raising her now. Marcella was confused, but Lumi kept talking with her, about the Psychic War, what kind of a man Marc was, and about her current ambition and its difficulties.

Marcella pledged her life to Lumi, and vowed to follow her to the end.

Marcella came to be very close to Lumi, as close as Eadda and Mai. She showed an insight, and intuition into combat and strategy greater than that of even Mai- a computer. It was frightening. Lumi asked Marcella if she wanted to lead her military forces; not for war or anything really, but who knows when someone will try to attack. They needed conventional weaponry, Lumi couldn't rely on psionics to win a war or battle against another, foolish country, not without risking another Psychic War. Marcella agreed, and then suggested an idea to Lumi; the Shepherds. Lumi and Eadda loved the idea, and got around to founding it with Marcella, who offered to lead it.

Marcella was a military genius on all fronts, and was compassionate enough to help psychics in need, Eadda saw a lot of Lumi in Marcella, just without the absolute power, randomness, boasting, mad scientist nonsense, e.t.c.. When the Faraday Isles were called up officially to a military meeting with NATO in regards to current issues, Marcella went with Lumi. Lumi just let Marcella do the talking in regards to strategy, almost showing her off to the world. Her plans were ferocious, intricate, and intelligent. Multi-level strategies that accounted for everything, and assured victory. Nobody could add anything to her plan, or criticize it. This is when one general whispered to another "This woman, is she the god of war?" Lumi couldn't help but smirk.

Super Human Mutation
The Super Human Mutation is rarer than psionics. It's a bi-product of psionics that can occur, a mutation which affects the physical condition only; whether strength, intellect, speed, durability, it can either enhance one or all of them, or improve one or all of them to a super human state.

A person having psionics and the Super Human Mutation naturally is negligible rare, but those people would be called "Super Psychics".

Powers
Marcella was born with a rare Super Human mutation, a bi-product of psionics. This mutation, combined with Marc's experiments made Marcella into a force to be reckoned with.

Due to her Super Human mutation:
 * Regenerative Healing Factor, Accelerating Regeneration - Marcella could heal any physical injury, and each time her body regeneration, her regeneration became quicker and could heal from more injuries.
 * Supernatural Condition - Marcella's Super Human mutation grants her a supernatural physical condition.
 * Absolute Immortality - After Marc tried to integrate his and Michelle's DNA into Marcella's, it worked in some form, as it allowed Marcella's mind to access her spirit/soul and her body. This lead to her Super Human mutation developing to the point she could regenerate her body, mind, and spirit/soul. As long as even the tiniest piece/essence of one remained, Marcella could completely reform. When her iron willpower came into the equation, this power grew to the point that Marcella could return from total obliteration, as she utterly refuses to die in order to protect Lumi and her dream, and psychics the world over.


 * Artificially Enhanced Physiology, Science Attuned Physiology, Experientially Induced Powers - Because of Marc's experimentation.

Marc also raised Marcella within nothing but military and combat training:
 * Detail Intuition
 * Multi-Focus
 * Supernatural Combat, Special Ops Mastery
 * Tactical Analysis, War/Strategy Aptitude
 * Weapon Proficiency

Marcella possesses an iron willpower that won't bend:
 * Indomitable Will, Strong Soul

Marcella did gain some psychic powers from Marc's experiments. She also uses a powerful exoskeleton in order to add to her abilities, such a flight and munitions:
 * High-Tech Exoskeleton
 * Psychic Energy Manipulation
 * Technology Manipulation
 * Telekinetic Force Manipulation - Marcella can use this to enhanced her already supernatural strength to ridiculous levels.

Trivia

 * When the Faraday Isles were "attacked" by an psychic hating group with a single destroyer, Marcella warned them to turn back. They chose to ignore the warning and keep going, Marcella jumped onto the water in front of their ship, stopped it, grabbed it, then threw it across the Atlantic. Many jaws dropped at the spectacle.
 * Because Marcella's regenerative abilities and strength stem from a non-psionic mutation, Alexander Dubois is unable to copy them for himself.
 * Lumi feels safe from a psychic with "anti-psionic" powers, simply because of Marcella.
