Character Appearance :: Marcus is quite strangly, he never really was that bff, but now, since he is the owner of a thriving corporation, he doesn't have to worry about his body. He has brown hair, and he always wears it in spikes. He loves to wear the latest clothes, and whenever he is at work, he wears his own customized labcoat.
His lab coat is the regular color, white. However, because of his, more out there nature, he has sewn patches of different colored fabric and stuck various mini badges on the collar of the coat.
His most common outfit is his hair styled to his perfection, a pair of jeans, white sneakers, a red T-shirt and his lab coat. Sometimes he will accommodate his look with a pair of sunglasses.
Character Personality :: Marcus is very outgoing. He always loves to talk to people. Sometime he says to his closest friends that if he wasn't a manager or a multi million dollar business, he might as well be a socialite. Even though he is always chatting and getting to know people, Marcus is wary of the people he becomes acquainted with. Life has told him to be wary of the people he makes friends with.
During school Marcus always had a carefree attitude. Something that Moreau never liked about him. Marcus never took science seriously, but he always flew through his classes with breeze. He wasn't the best behaved either, sometims he got himself into trouble, he was even suspended once back in 10th grade.
Character Background :: Marcus led a normal life. He went Primary school, then High school. All with his best mate Nicolas Moreau. They both excelled in science. they almost always got the same test scores, they both studied hard. They both had the same goal. It was only near the end of high school that their paths separated. Marcus became wilder, and didn't try as hard in school. He preferred to muck around, and go to parties. Of course there was Aubrey Lockheart, Marcus always had a crush on her during middle school, always, even when there was another girl. Unfortunately he never got the courage to speak to her and tell her how he felt. He was always nervous around her.
Marcus eventually graduated from High school. Perfect scores in all his subjects. He chose to research Chemical engineering. He excelled in his classes and received top marks in all his exams. All the while he kept in touch with Nicolas. Eventually at the end of their studies they went there separate ways. Nicolas went on to inherit Feral Labs after his father died and Marcus was offered a job as a high paying Chemical Engineer.
Marcus went on to see less and less of his friend Moreau and the two eventually grew apart. Only contacting each other in a letter or two. Not until Marcus received an e-mail from Moreau, inviting him to a conference to discuss business opportunities...
Nicolas and Moreau met the next day. It turned out that Dr Moreau was in fact offering Marcus an 'Opportunity of a life time' job. One however, he would not shed much light on. The sketch of the concept that Nicolas had proposed, intrigued Marcus.
Marcus then had a laugh but he eventually stated that he couldn't possibly commit to a job such as this and commented on Moreau's lack of information; as in the papers that day, on the front page, was the logo of Marcus's new company O-Corp. Of course Marcus made a joke about it all, but finally stated that his company was his first priority. He couldn't possibly work with Moreau, and with that, Marcus left. As he did he thought he heard someone mumble. ".... Wiser.... Mess with me..."
Marcus never heard of Moreau after that, but he always expected that he would see him again.
How does your character get to the island :: Still wondering about his old friend, Marcus was surprised to one day; find a plane ticket and an invitation to spend a few days on an Island owned by Dr Moreau. Eager to see his old friend, and to show there were no hard feelings, Marcus gets on the plane and arrives on the island, thinking that everything was going to be great... Seems Moreau still had some hard feelings.
