When it's hot out he will just wear a t-shirt (often with a witty comment on it and zip-off-able khaki pants. When it's cold he wears jeans and hoodies. It is very rare that he'll wear anything other that slight variations on those ensembles apart from for certain occasions. He's not a fan of sandals and usually just wears running shoes unless he plans on spending a large amount of time by water. He will almost never go barefoot unless he's swimming.
Speech: Whenever he talks he seems to do odd voices when he does so. Accents, impersonations, quotes, it's just part of how he talks. It's a strange habit he got himself into many a year ago. He can't quite remember why or when, but he doesn't mind it so he makes no attempt to break the habit. When talking, he will rarely pause if he has forgotten something or can't think of what to say. He'll hiss through his teeth, make popping noises, hum, all sorts of stuff. He also does this when thinking about an answer if somebody asks him a question he needs to think about.

Interaction: As stated above, he tends to be an introvert around people he doesn't know due to his shyness.

History: Marty has lead a life that, suffice to say, wasn't boring. His parents died in a car crash when he was still at a young age. He was sent to live with his only relative, his uncle. Not that his uncle was mean or anything. He cared for Marty well and always looked out for him. He and his uncle always got along great and usually had a good time together. The problem however was that he was a traveling car salesman ((Yes there is such thing!)). They lived out of a motor home, never staying in the same place for more than a few months or so. Marty still went to schools, but often by the time he was just stating to make friends, they were on the road again. Now and then he would really hit it off with some people, but they would always loose contact for long. And so Marty grew up with his uncle as his only companion.
This rapid, constant change in associates is what lead Marty to be quick in judging people. He didn't have time to think about whether he liked someone or not. This also is what caused him to hold grudges for a long time. He would get into a fight with someone, and then leave before they had a chance to redeem themselves.
Not long before his 10th birthday, his uncle managed to run into a bit of money with a number of good sales, and as such, ended up with much more money than he had expected. Seeing that Marty tended to have a severe lack of outside contact, he invested a large sum of said money into getting Marty a quality computer, equipped with internet access almost anywhere you could use a cellphone.
This development was a big change for Marty. He still didn't keep in touch with friend he met at schools, but online he met many people. They became his friends. The wonder that is MMOs gave Marty his first taste of lengthy friendships. Stemming from his now near constant gaming, came a love and respect for computers all together. He would often tinker with them and buy upgrades when he had the opportunity with the money he received from allowance.
His interest in gaming actually lead to an interesting secondary interest. Marty was never very athletic. He never really did any physical activity. His asthma was a main player in this. However, after playing various Star Wars games for hours on end, he fell in love with the concept of swordsmanship and before long bought himself a boken. He trained often, using the internet as a guide and before long became quite handy with his beloved boken and the various other blades he bought in his travels.
Over the years, he continued to gain knowledge in the fields of computers and upon graduating from high school, he made the decision that he would leave the company of his uncle and set out on his own to university. Unfortunately, although he had always gotten fairly good grades, money was a problem. He scoured the internet for a university, or even a college he could afford, signing up for as many mailing lists as he could, but nothing came up. So he remained with his uncle for a while more, picking up odd jobs from those that needed temporary help at the towns where they stopped.
