damnit ele. i'm not even IN chat and I'm following your trends.
In-progress done except for associations and hard things i forgot were there
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Apparently I put down "5'6" and about average weight." Not, like, a body builder but Marco's in shape so not fat or anything but not really 'skinny.' In the middle sorta, I guess.
I do not know what "rangy" means.
2. How old is he?
23
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Marco has good posture, though he slouches over some when drunk
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Pretty good. He tries to stay in shape, but he also smokes regularly (even if the mun often forgets it/to emote it) so his stamina isn't as good as it could be.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Purposefully. Is that a word?
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Uh. I dunno. He thinks he's at least attractive.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Light-ish, like red heads tend to be. He hasn't spent all that much time sunning since...uh...ever.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Red, kinda scruffy, down to around his ears or so. Like in the icons, cause Maddin's fucking picky like that.
9. What color are his eyes?
Blue
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
He has a big scar on his back that he usually remembers not to let people see.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
I am not even certain what this means >>;
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
On the boat Marco dresses pretty casual. T-shirt and jeans or khakis, longer sleeved shirt if its cooler or maybe a jacket. He switches to shorts sometimes if its warm enough. Kinda pale-ish or dark colours. Usually a lot like the clothes in his default icon
He has some more business-like clothes, but he probably won't bother to wear them in most cases.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
They fit well, no more than a size or two big. He looks comfortable, at least :3
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Lolno. The way he dressed for his job depended entirely on the assignment, but now he doesn't really have a job on the boat so its all free-time/casual wear
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers or commando.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Ffft. He has a voice in my head but damned if I can desc it. Definitely male, though.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
If he's just doing whatever he talks pretty casually with a more or less even tone. If he feels like he's working its a stern, business-like tone and usually more formal and/or demanding.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
His accent isn't really placeable other than 'American' due to moving around a lot all his life
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
English and Spanish. He wants to learn Anna's language too :3
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Only if the people he's talking with don't understand English.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Marco thinks over everything he says ever, but he's good at it so he can come up with something quickly if needed. Not, like, right away quickly but within a few minutes to a few hours depending on the subject and if he thinks its important.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
He can be pretty eloquent, but he usually doesn't bother to be anything other than 'normal casual tone'
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Marco has above average intelligence. Its mostly street-smarts, but he's got some book smarts too...he just didn't pay that much attention to most subjects in school.
The original, old World of Darkness Marco had an int score of 3 out of 5, with 2 being average.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
Erm, both?
He thinks on his feet if needed--and often had to do so--but if he can he prefers to be deliberate. Marco doesn't like making decisions without thinking them through and coming up with options if shit goes wrong, but if things are moving too fast he can make split-second decisions and insist they were correct later on (...even if they weren't, kthx). He usually only manages to get himself to do that if there's physical danger involved.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Cold and analytical. Marco's not used to following most of his emotions (anger's the big exception) and instead prefers to rely on logic.
He's a horrid pessimist
4. What kind of education has the character had?
American primary and secondary schooling, and then training in the Air Force and special training with the Illuminati :3
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
'Intelligence Gathering.'
Everything and everything C< Especailly if it could be useful
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
He tries to present as an extrovert, but is really more introverted
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Marco's generally rather easy going, though he gets rather driven if Certain Subjects come up or if he's working/thinks something's important enough to devote time to. He's pretty even tempered over all, but holds one hell of a grudge.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Marco trusts no one >C
That said, he's lately trying to give everyone/thing-that-can-talk-to-him a chance. Not so much to trust them (that takes a lot longer) but at least to like them and possibly be friendly. He tries to act relaxed but friendly with new people or people he doesn't know so well.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Marco not do things without thinking them over first kthx.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Fight >{
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Buh...imma think on this o.O I dunno how to put here
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
Does alcoholism count?
I'd count the 'paranoia' issue but that was taught instead of just picked up, though its doubtful he'd try to get rid of it anyway.
Marco deals with mental and emotional issues by refusing to admit they exist.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
go look at his background, that should give you a good idea
14. What does he fear?
Marco fears very, very little on the ship. Somewhere in the back of his mind is the fear that he'll disappear and die for good, or that Anna will (or he'll somehow lose whatever it is she's come to mean to him), or whoever else he cares about at the time might, but that's not something that comes up much. He fears Redd, in that he fears what Redd could do to him but not in that he'll cower or anything. Its more of a...eh....healthy sort of fear one gets for a great and terrible ruler. How fitting.
Otherwise, since he knows if he dies he'll just come back (though he really wants to avoid dying if possible), very little can intimidate him on the ship.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
Marco's spent the last few years of his life just taking what he's been given and doing his best with it. His only real hopes and aspirations are dealing with immediate concerns (From whatever assignment he's on or whatever he wants to investigate) and the general 'I want to continue to exist' one.
There's probably some real hopes deep down, but he's suppressed them for so long it'd take him some time to even notice them.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
Lol, just about everything he hasn't already stated over an open line. The organization he works for and what he does for a living are the #1 on that list, though. (He's told some people parts of what he does, but he's yet to give anyone the name of his 'company.')
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
He's horribly depressed and pissed off that he can't remember their names, which makes him miss them lately. But not in a 'I want to go visit' way just in a 'I wonder if they are okay' way.
His parents think he's dead, anyway, and he was fine with that for a long time. He loves his parents, but thinks parents are something a kid moves past needing once they grow up. Its likely he wouldn't have kept much correspondence with them anyway.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Only child.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
He never dealt with family much.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
Marco thinks he's all the family he needs >(
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Off boat Marco has no real friends ;;
On boat would be Anna or possibly Remy.
6. Does he have other close friends?
Marco has between one and three friends (he is not sure!). The only time he'd regard someone as a friend requires they already be close somehow.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He has trouble trusting anyone, but he makes acquaintances and possibly allies easily enough
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
HIMSELF >(
(friends, I guess)
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single, never married. Hasn't had a girlfriend since high school.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Marco won't recognize it as romantic unless someone else says so first but, yes, I think so.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
Some chick when he was in middle school, I dunno I didn't bother to flesh that out.
Anna, though he thinks a number of the other wimminz on the boat are hot
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
He doesn't
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
Nope and he doesn't want any at this point
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
later
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the
Kinsey scale?
I...I'm not really sure. He's straight, or mostly straight at least. See answer to next question.
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
blaargh. Mun has issues with this, goddamnit. He should be somewhere around 'normal male' and therefor enjoys sex but I always forget to even consider it. oops.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
o.O
Yeah, um, no. Even if I figure them out no.
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (
zodiac of
choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Marco was born in the
season of Bureaucracy and I seem to think that fits pretty well.
The other two kind of fit and kind of don't.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
None. The universe is ruled by scientific laws, damnit, even if some of them don't make any sense with the science he currently knows. (like magic and monsters)
Marco does not believe in Gods and has automatic dislike for anyone that says they are one.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
to an extent...maybe later
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Unless someone's trying to push their beliefs on him or he can use those beliefs to manipulate someone, Marco doesn't give a shit what you believe in or care about. He may have some curiosity about some, but its an idle curiosity that he'd never get philosophical on
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
Marco hates supernatural kitties (...except Anna...) and gods. There's a basis for it, but its become pretty irrational over time. He's working on the first, but its not so likely he'll do anything with the second.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Boat has no economy :D
Before, everything he needed was provided for him, but he didn't have much time or resources to get shit just for fun.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
Its kind of...not. Marco moved around too much and was undercover too often to really have a real one.
I dunno wtf it is on the boat, man
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
HE LIVES ON A BOAT 8D
Marco's not good with sharing safe spaces, he's only ever given his room number out to one person. Its somewhere between a den/safe house and a place to crash
before it was mostly apartments, and they always had a 'just moved in and/or about to move out' feel
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Booze and cigs are totally necessities.
video games, movies and books.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
Kek
He was good enough to not get killed, so that must mean something. He never really thought about if he liked it or not, since he didn't really have a choice. If he did have a choice, Marco has no idea what he'd do. Probably go back to the military.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Booze and video games. He's taken up reading more on the ship, too.
Marco doesn't do so well with lots of free time, really, so he spends parts of it wishing he had something to do
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
If he's working he can forget to eat, but otherwise he eats pretty regularly. Not really healthy food, but not overly unhealthy...except for the alcohol. Marco doesn't really go in for sweets all that much, and tends to prefer meats to veggies.

3. Time of day?

Ability Scores:

Wisdom-14
Charisma-14
Alignment:
Chaotic Evil A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. Chaotic evil is sometimes called demonic because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the best alignment you can be because combines self-interest and pure freedom. However, chaotic evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but also of the order on which beauty and life depend.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.
