I wanted to do some more with my angsty boi Marcus. He’s rather fun to rp and I love him to death.
His character template is below.
Most everything will be allowed, as Marcus himself is pretty much an R-rated character. Possible gay, possible
If anyone wants to rp, go ahead and comment!!
WARNING: THEMES SUCH AS HARASSMENT, SELF-HARM, RAPE, VIOLENCE, GANGS, AND TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE TOUCHED UPON.
(Btw, your character profile doesn’t have to be as detailed. I just have spent a lot of time on this boi)

Strengths:
His small, lanky figure allows him to move quickly and accurately - when his twisted femur bone doesn’t get in the way.
He is dedicated and hardworking once he is given a task. This can lead to him doing anything to finish it. (Which May also be his weakness)
He is resourceful and resilient to the things he gets called at school. (Or in any other setting)
Weaknesses:
Marcus is extremely hot headed and so can easily be set off. He is also very stubborn and once he is set on a task, he will finish it in anyway possible.
He was surprisingly a mama’s boy before his mother died. Any mention of her death sets him off.
He has a birth defect in his left leg. He was born with a twisted femur bone. Because of this he limps and is in quite a lot of pain if he overworks it.
Personality:
Marcus Teague is brilliantly tactful when it comes to getting what he wants from people. He is highly aggressive and enjoys a good fistfight every now and then.
He is unusually harsh towards himself and others around him. His background as a gang member leads to his strong sense of skepticism towards anyone he doesn’t know. If he choses to trust you, you’d best try and keep that as safe as you can because his trust isn’t given out very often.
Marcus plays the violin more than he cares to admit. He is embarrassed by the fact that he has a soft spot for the musical side of life. Whenever he is stressed, however, he lights things on fire, his soft spot disappearing in a blink of an eye.
Marcus is a huge flirt but he has standards. If there is a man or woman anywhere near, he’ll show off or move to flirt with them. He acts like a dominant person but in reality is quite the softie (and reaaally wouldn’t mind someone strong to hold him ;) )
Likes:
Fire
The dark
His mother
Drugs
Flirting
Dislikes:
The police
Marx
Mushrooms
Mice (they’re creepy with their little hands and blank eyes)
His father
Bio/backstory:
Marcus was born in Ireland to an Irish father and an American mother. His twisted femur bone was shunned, and it often led to the kids at school bullying him. They moved to America to ‘find a better life for Marcus.’ This never happened. They settled in Seattle for a few years, living paycheck to paycheck. Times were tough, and since his mother was a hardcore smoker and drinker, it was difficult to find money to pay for her medical issues. By Marcus’s ninth birthday, his mother was diagnosed with Leukemia. She died within the next two years without treatment. Her death rocked Marcus to the core. He fell behind in school and became extremely depressed. He turned to drugs, smoking cigarettes his mother had left and eventually getting hooked. He doesn’t go a day without smoking now.
Marx was the first to find him when Marcus lit a small fire in the boy’s bathroom to get out of class. Marx promised a life that was better than what Marcus had. He offered him a spot in his gang, dubbing him the ‘executioner’ of the group. Marcus has never actually directly killed anyone, but he was in charge of burning the homes of people who get on Marx’s bad side. He felt no remorse for this, instead rising through the ranks in the gang, going from the lowest member to second hand man to Marx.
His father became upset over this, resorting to physical abuse. Lucas was spared this punishment because he did well in school and was a ‘promising young soul.’ Marcus, however, was beaten whenever his father felt he was in a bad mood. Marcus became a source of stress relief for his father, beaten to the point of blacking out as often as he breathed. His cuts and bruises from the abuse were never hidden. He wore them openly, a deep frown always on his face as if to show the world he didn’t give a damn about it.
Feats and accomplishments:
Marcus has been able to pick himself up a little from his life, and has even been thinking about leaving the gang. But he has yet to do anything brilliant or amazing.
