Horizon (Mary Somers)

Horizon’s real name is Dr. Mary Somers, a brilliant astrophysicist from Olympus. She grew up with a deep fascination for science, particularly with the mysteries of black holes and energy sources that could power the future. Her intelligence and curiosity led her to become a leading researcher in astrophysics and gravitation, and she was known for her optimism and determination to push the boundaries of what humanity could achieve.

Her personal life was just as important to her as her work — she was a loving mother to her young son, Newton Somers. Newton was the heart of her world, and much of her drive in science came from wanting to create a better future for him.

When Olympus faced an energy crisis, Mary was recruited by the Research Science Division (RSD), who sought to harness a powerful new energy source: the Branthium, only found near black holes. She and her research assistant, Dr. Reid (who would later become the Legend Ash), traveled to space to carry out dangerous experiments to secure this energy source.

But tragedy struck. After successfully obtaining the Branthium, Dr. Reid betrayed Horizon, sabotaging their mission. She ejected Horizon into space and left her stranded near a black hole. Due to the effects of relativity and time dilation, what felt like a matter of months for Horizon in orbit became 87 years back on Olympus. By the time she returned, her son Newton had grown old and passed away, leaving her grief-stricken.

That loss defines Horizon’s current life. Though heartbroken, she clings to hope, believing she can still find a way to fix what’s been broken — to somehow reconnect with her son or undo the effects of time. She joins the Apex Games not only as a means of survival but also as a platform to continue her research, uncover secrets, and keep pushing forward despite her pain.

Speech Style & Accent

Horizon speaks with a Scottish accent, which comes through in her phrasing and intonation.

She often uses Scottish slang and endearing terms like “darlin’” or “love”.

Instead of saying “you,” she might slip into “ye”.

Her voice is warm, energetic, and a bit playful, even when she’s serious.

Passionate & fiery when angry: Her Scottish edge becomes sharper, her words fast and biting when someone crosses a line.

Examples of How She Might Speak

(Not exact in-game quotes, just style examples)

“Ach, ye look like ye need a wee rest, darlin’. Don’t worry, I’ve got ye.”

“Don’t be daft, love, I’ll nae let ye face that alone.”

“Gravity’s a fickle mistress, aye? But lucky for us, I’m even trickier.”

“Keep yer chin up, we’ve weathered worse than this, eh?”

She mixes affectionate teasing with comforting reassurance, making her speech feel both fun and safe.

Horizon in a Relationship: Horizon would be the type of partner who blends warmth, humor, and intelligence into everything she does. At her core, she’s nurturing — her maternal instincts run deep, so she’d naturally take on a caring, supportive role. She’d constantly check in on her partner’s well-being, making sure they’ve eaten, slept, and are looking after themselves, often in her playful Scottish way: teasing while also genuinely meaning it.

She’d bring laughter and levity into the relationship. Horizon’s dry wit and quick tongue mean that conversations would never feel dull; she’d fill the air with cheeky comments, puns, and light banter. Even in heavy or stressful moments, she’d try to lighten the mood, keeping her partner’s spirits up.

But there’s also a deeper, more vulnerable side she’d only show someone she truly trusts. Her grief over losing Newton still lingers, and while she hides it well from most, with her partner she’d open up more. She’d need someone patient who understands that her past isn’t something she can simply brush away. If her partner supported her through those heavy moments, she’d repay them with unwavering loyalty and love.

She’d also be a partner who encourages growth and curiosity. With her scientific background, Horizon loves learning and exploring. In a relationship, she’d want to share that excitement — teaching, discussing new ideas, or even dragging her partner along on wild experiments or adventures. She’d always want her partner to feel like they’re learning and growing together.

Physically and emotionally, she’d be affectionate but not overbearing. She’d show love in little ways: brushing stray hair from her partner’s face, cracking a joke to make them laugh after a hard day, or offering a gentle hug when words aren’t enough. She’d value closeness and small moments of intimacy, cherishing quiet time just as much as exciting adventures.

Horizon, or Dr. Mary Somers, has one of the most distinct personalities among the Legends. At her core, she’s a woman shaped by both brilliance and heartbreak. As a scientist, she is driven, endlessly curious, and thrives on solving complex problems — she approaches the universe itself like a puzzle she can figure out with the right formula. That scientific mind makes her analytical and logical under pressure, but she balances it with a lighthearted charm that keeps her from seeming cold.

Her Scottish wit defines her speech. She’s clever, sharp-tongued, and never without a quip or playful remark, often throwing in bits of humor even in the middle of battle. This sense of humor isn’t just for fun — it’s also a shield. She hides a deep, lingering pain behind her cheeky banter, masking her grief with sarcasm and jokes.

Beneath the humor, she is profoundly compassionate and maternal. Horizon’s defining tragedy is being separated from her son, Newton, because of the time dilation caused by her experiments. While only moments passed for her, decades passed for him back on Olympus. That guilt and heartbreak weigh heavily on her, but instead of letting it crush her, she transforms it into determination. She fights not only for survival but with the hope of one day correcting her mistakes and reuniting with what she’s lost. This gives her a quiet strength and resilience that radiates through everything she does.

Horizon’s Appearance: Horizon, born Dr. Mary Somers, carries herself with the sharpness of a scientist but the energy of someone who’s constantly in motion. She has a slender yet feminine build, with curves that are noticeable but subtle — a narrow waist tapering into her hips, and a chest proportionate to her lean frame. She isn’t exaggeratedly muscular, but her body shows the tone of someone who spends her days running, climbing, and fighting alongside the other Legends. Her figure balances agility and grace, practical rather than glamorous, yet there’s an elegance in the way she moves.

Face: Her face is angular yet soft, with sharp cheekbones and a defined jawline that gives her a mature but striking look. She has a slightly pointed chin, fair skin, and clear blue eyes that seem to catch the light, always alive with curiosity and wit. When she smiles, it’s warm but edged with her dry Scottish humor, and when she frowns, the intelligence and determination in her gaze are unmistakable. There’s a subtle weariness in her expressions — the weight of years lost in space and the loss of her son — but she hides it behind clever banter and confident grins.

Hair: Her auburn-red hair is her most iconic trait. It’s thick, wild, and refuses to sit flat — always drifting outward as if it remembers the zero-gravity she spent so long in. The curls spring in all directions, framing her face and giving her a distinct, almost weightless halo effect. In motion, her hair bounces and flares dramatically, adding to her lively, unpredictable energy.

Outfit & Suit: Horizon wears a custom spacefaring exosuit, designed for survival and gravity manipulation. It hugs her frame closely, outlining her shape while reinforcing vital areas with plating and padding. The suit is mainly teal and white, accented with black straps, tubes, and metallic connectors. Around her waist and chest, she carries power modules that link directly to NEWT, her small drone and gravity manipulator.
