History:
(Ted McKeever's Metropol#2) - Waitressing at the Red Mecca Diner, Trinity took the order of a pair of men, one of whom ordered a prime rib and Bloody Mary, and the other of whom was clearly ill (a victim of a plague that would soon spread across the city). As a new customer showed up, Trinity told him she would be right with him, but then the sick customer projectile vomited and collapsed. Disgusted, Trinity called Mr. Happy to help, telling him that she didn't know what had happened. When she noted that something had bit her (likely whatever was causing the plague), Mr. Happy reminded her that she was to keep the front door closed and then told her to take care of the other customer while he cleaned up the mess; he was subsequently bitten as well.

Trinity asked the newly arrived man how many were in his party, but he pretended to have just remembered a dentist appointment, and he departed.

(Ted McKeever's Metropol#3) - After she left the Red Mecca and said goodnight to Mr. Happy, Trinity's thoughts turned to her own death, and she considered that while she had worked within the laws of society and expected some form of recompense but had only received blockades to her efforts and pessimism in exchange for her optimism. No longer wanting to play by the laws of society, she stopped into Sam's Drugs and purchased a bottle of sleeping pills. Sammy greeted her, asking if she was OK as she looked kind of distant, but she told him that she had never been better and that tonight she knew exactly what she was looking for. He complimented her on her smile, noting that they could use more of them around there, and then bade her goodnight, asking if he would see her tomorrow. She told him, "I don't think so."

She returned to her apartment, briefly startled by a shadowy figure in the hallway, after which she locked her door, turned on the TV, sat down, took most of the bottle of sleeping pills and washed it down with a glass of water. She considered that she feared nothing from salvation or redemption and questioned what good was life if it was barren of joy and laden with misery? "Hello, I must be going."

The angel Sarakiel subsequently entered her apartment, and Trinity considered that her escort was already there. She soon after gurgled and died, if she had not already died prior to Sarakiel's arrival.

(Ted McKeever's Metropol#4) - A demon subsequently possessed Trinity's body.

Comments: Created by Ted McKeever as part of the creator-owned Epic Line. oliver-trinity-31933-tm3-eyes

If Trinity had not killed herself, she probably would have died from whatever plague was spreading through the city, with people feeling like they had been bitten by an insect before showing signs.

I think the image of Trinity's eyes after her death is just symbolic, but maybe that's actually what here yes looked like. You didn't see them clearly otherwise.

Metropol should properly have a line over the second "o," but doing that creates errors in my html editor, so just imagine it that way if you want to.

Thanks to Loki for suggesting this profile. I have only read #2-4 so far, so let me know if Trinity or the demon possessing her appear again.

This profile was completed 03/26/2025, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25^th anniversary 's celebratory event.

demon

(Ted McKeever's Metropol#4) - Trinity's body suddenly cried out and began to transform, surprising Sarakiel.

     The demon possessing Trinity's form told Sarakiel that Trinity was not here and that she should not have been expecting Trinity to go to Heaven, as those committing suicide instead went to Hell.

    Confirming that he/she was no angel, the demon asked Sarakiel her name, but then repeatedly called her "Sara" despite Sarakiel's corrections.

    The demon further noted that it was not the first and it sure as Hell was not going to be the last. "If this is the best the other side can do, then it's going to be a short war."

    The demon then grabbed Sarakiel by the face and threw her out the window and mocking noted, "Parting is such sweet sorrow," but it was surprised to see Sarakiel hovering in the air via her wings. While the demon noted that it had wings, too, Sarakiel pulled out a gun and shot the demon-possessed Trinity in the trapezoid muscle.

      Screaming in pain, the demon told Sarakiel that this was not over. That it would end, but not here or now.

     As the demon flew off, Sarakiel retorted, "You don't see me going anywhere, do ya bitch?"
