Miriam and Ramriel are mentally ill in a way that cancels eachother out and it's so funny. Ramriel will be like "I need to be of use at all times, and if I sacrifice myself for the one I love that would make my death of use to them" and Miriam, instead of directly being like 'hey that's fucked up don't think like that', says "well you're useless to me as a corpse." And then it works!

To Miriam love is vulnerability... And there is nothing she fears more.

ok i'll bite because i've been wondering this for a while. who are the murder squad? - jonny

YESSS Okay! *cracks knuckles*

The Murder Squad is made up of 4 people.

Miriam Marques aka The Devil (my character):

Ramriel (@gayaruakise's character):

Ahi (@umbreix's character):

Moss (@luna-mistrunner's character):

All 4 of them are Madoka Magica type Magical Girls. This means they all made a wish with a creature called Kyubey, and are tasked with fighting witches. This brings us the origins of the Murder Squad.

(TW for mentions of CSA and child abuse)

Miriam's wish, made at age 14, was to know what happened to her and who did it. You see, months prior, she ran away from home and came back. She does not remember what happened, she does not remember why she came back. It turns out that they were sexually assaulted by a man over in the city somewhat close by. Now haunted by this memory being both in absolute clear detail and constantly at the front of her mind, Miriam went to get revenge. See, when you're magic it's rather easy to overpower a grown man as a teenager. So Miriam quite literally ripped her rapist to shreds, in fact, the carnage was enough for the police to chalk up the murder to a rabid animal attack.

Now, she couldn't exactly return to normal life with the factors of A.) just having brutally murdered someone and B.) having the clear memory of her rape at the forefront of her mind. So she set out to continue this murder spree, going by the title of The Devil, killing rapists, pedophiles and the like.

Because of Miriam's power she has the ability to form a mental file on people, she is extremely perceptive and only needs to observe people for an extended period of time, maybe talk to them, to gain a significant amount of information that most would not be able to gather. This is because the magic is the ability to Know. She best utilizes this ability after learning to hunt and stalk people, and to help with this filing she tends to put on acts fit to the people who she is attempting to get file information from. Overall, this power means that she knows far more about people than they know about her, and that is both a blessing a curse.

Now, we aren't here to exclusively talk about Miriam so let's fast forward a couple years to when Miriam is 17, in the middle of hunting a priest in a small town in Wisconsin. After drowning said priest in his own basin of holy water like he had tried to do to an 8 year old so many years ago, they turn around and come face to face with one Tsubasa Ezekiel, later to be known as Ramriel.

Months prior to this, Tsubasa had wished to be something in the eyes of God. They had struggled with feeling like they weren't worthy of living for years, and they still do. This becomes relevant with the fact that not even a file pops up for this person. Miriam is perplexed by this and extremely annoyed that someone walked in on their murder.

Now I should note at this moment, Miriam has horns protruding from her head, a tail with a sharp hook-like end, claws, and fangs at this moment. So she definitely isn't human, that Tsubasa can tell right away. So suffice to say it's rather surprising when Tsubasa just nudges the Priest's body with their foot and say: “He had it long coming from what I’ve deduced” before sitting atop the alter and chuckling, “So what brings you to this neck of the woods?”

Miriam is... not exactly welcoming to this newcomer who she can gather absolutely nothing about. So she tells Tsubasa to fuck off and leaves. But unfortunately for Miriam, when she gets back to the Motel she's staying at, TSUBASA IS ALREADY THERE. They're leaning against the wall all smug and they trace the motel room's numbers and say “111. Angel number. How ironic for someone who claims to be the devil.” Miriam is absolutely pissed and tells them to fuck off yet again, but Tsubasa is not going to let their newly discovered God go. So Miriam ends up having to begrudgingly let them tag along.

It's 3 months in that Ramriel receives their name. It comes after a big fight between the two of them, and due to the subject of the argument, Miriam ends up snapping and telling them "y'know what? You want me to be something so bad? Fine. Then I will be your God. I name thee Ramriel." And so their bond was sealed with two crosses carved into Ramriel's back with Miriam's knife.

The two become closer and closer over time. You see, Ramriel fell for Miriam at first sight. Miriam on the other hand, Miriam fell in love kicking and screaming. It was a year and 2 months in that Miriam finally admitting to loving Ramriel. Her Lamb. Her Angel. Her Loyal Follower. Her Everything. After that they were fucking inseparable, codependent even.

Ramriel had gotten Miriam to finally start to eat again, to take care of herself even a little. Miriam had given Ramriel the will to want to live instead of sacrifice themself for someone they love.

Ramriel is Miriam's anchor to reality, and Miriam is Ramriel's anchor to feeling like a person.

But this isn't exclusively about Miriel either, so lets move on.

This brings us to the third member of the Murder Squad, Ahi. Her wish was to be the spark that set her hometown ablaze, and thus she set fire to her Catholic Boarding School. Miriam ran into Ahi first, it was during a hunt and Ahi had set the building ablaze. Miriam suspected Ahi was attempting to interfere so she lured her to a spot to interrogate her along with Ramriel. They trapped her in one of Ramriel's barriers and talked until they were sure that Ahi wasn't attempting to interfere, then they let her go.

But that wasn't the last they saw of Ahi. Instead they ran into her multiple times over the course of a few months, and it was becoming extremely suspicious. Eventually Ahi proposes that she joins them, she loves what Miriam is doing, and she promises she can help.

Miriam isn't fond of witch hunting, her power interferes too much with it, so reluctantly agrees so Ramriel isn't shouldering witch hunts by themself. Ahi is a serial arsonist, and Miriam is a serial killer. Perfect combination, truly.

Anyways, Ahi ends up falling for Ramriel in a week tops, Miriam soon after. Ahi thinks Ramriel is charming, and an absolute sweetheart. Ahi thinks Miriam's whole tall dark and mysterious butch aesthetic is extremely hot, and so is the murder. It's later that Miriam uses Ahi as hunt practice and manages to end up dating her and sleeping with her through this hunt practice. It's also later that Ahi becomes queerplatonic partners with Ramriel.

But before that happens, we see our fourth member enter the scene, Moss. Moss' wish was total control, after years of having none. The way that Miriam met Moss was possibly more unexpected than the way they met Ramriel. When Miriam arrived to take out a target, she found Moss having already killed him. So all Miriam did was offer to help Moss take care of the body. Turns out Moss had been a victim of the guy, and Miriam wasn't gonna complain about a victim taking out their groomer. It was through this encounter that Moss ended up joining the group. They wanted out of town, and why not join this group, amiright? They erased themself from their family's minds and dipped along with the Murder Squad.

Moss becomes a sort of sibling figure to Ahi, and becomes good friends with Ramriel. But when it comes to Miriam, they both share a mutual respect for eachother but they can't be described as close for quite a bit. It's just how it is. But eventually they become some pretty tight knit partners in crime.

Moss is, as Luna has described them, simple. So there isn't much to say on them besides that they take no shit and Miriam has to try to be on her best behavior when they're around. (Not really though, they just think that they have to). Also Moss is a stoner.

Overall I think that sums them up, I'll post Miriam's backstory later but if you click the links attached to Ahi and Ram's names you should find more info about the two of them!

Oh btw they end up getting a cat named Shinji (Ramriel named them) and an Australian Cattle Dog named Dise (as in Paradise Lost, named by Miriam)

Miriam is someone who would love to consume the souls of her loved ones and trap them inside her, but she knows it would ruin her beyond belief.

Miriam is an inherently possessive person, so much it scares the hell out of them. Miriam will never not be bitter that they can never have Ahi's full undying devotion.

Ramriel's devotion feeds Miriam in a way that terrifies her because she knows that if Ramriel fell out of that love it would ruin her and she would seek out Ramriel and destroy them. Not just kill them, but destroy every little thing that they traded Miriam out for. Whatever love they now had, Miriam would destroy it.

In a way, Miriam can't help it. They are nothing without their rage...

Loving Ramriel was an act of vulnerability that they would not be able to replicate to the same capacity ever again. It is only because of Ramriel that Miriam is able to love Ahi. To love Marianne. To love... Anybody.

Miriam and Ramriel are undone without eachother. There is no moving on for either of them. Ramriel is an imploding star and Miriam is a beast who consumes suns. Neither of them are coming out of this alive.
