He acts flamboyantly friendly to people, but he hides a cold, calculating, manipulative, and selfish personality behind that amiable mask. He is also an incurable flirt, quick with a compliment and flattery for the fairer sex. Whether that is an act or a quirk of his is up for debate. He can be egotistical at times, even worse, he often has a reason to be. Not much of a team player, he prefers to give orders rather then receive them. His passion and obsession lies in the study and use of magic of all kinds, Anima, Dark, and Light. [b]Background/History:[/b] [hider=Get comfortable, this is quite a tale.] Continent and Time Period of Origin: Ylisse, Current day Sanctus' father was part of a traveling troupe. He was, ironically, a stage magician, who incorporated a touch of real magic to his tricks. The troupe was small, but well known, especially for going to out-of-the way places to perform. His mother, Plegian Dark Mage who had joined them during a trip through Plegia, Marcus's father and the dark mage eventually fell in love. They were never formaly married, but they came together anyway. For a year, they were happy and she was soon pregnant. She gave birth to Santus. She was soon pregnant again, however, this time something went wrong, and she died giving birth to his sister. After that, his father was never the same. He grew depressed, strove to drown his grief in drink. He never was a proper father to Marcus. Eventually his performances suffered so badly, that they were kicked from the troupe since he no longer made money, he was no longer worth anyting to them. Marcus's father slowly grew worse and worse, and one day, he just disappeared. Gone without a trace, leaving a young Sanctus and his sister as an orphans on the streets of a random city. Fortunately, Sanctus is the resourceful type, he had received rudimentary magic traing from his father and mother and at this time, his talent began to blossom and grow. He scraped together a harsh living, doing odd jobs, and more then once resorting to theft. His magic aided him in this, but it also drew the attention of a conclave of Sages who had their base in that city. The found him, took him in, and gave him to their order to train him. It was there his hunger for knowledge awakened. He was a keen student, absorbing and comprehending their teaching at an alarmingly fast rate. Some of them feared his growth, while others encouraged it. There he learned much of tactics and magic. His meteoric rise was halted suddenly by a certain incident. The details are unknown, but the result was Marcus's immediate and perminate expulsion, and the disappearance of his sister. Even after that indecent, Marcus still hungered for knowlage. He traveled the land researching magic. It was his passion and obsession. For a decade and a half, he wandered the land, learning and growing in skill with magic. He earned himself something of a infamous reputation, and people startd calling him the 'Sorcerer in Glasses' and he is wanted in several lands for stealing secret tomes of magic. He eventually joined with the groupe Yilisse was gathering for three reasons; one the pay was good, two, the out-realm gates and demons reek with magic and he wants to study them, three, the gates lead beyond to worlds filled with possibilities and powerful magic.[/hider] [/center][/hider][/center] And finally, Critical Quote no.1: [center][b][color=gold]"Now, this...is true magic!"[/color] [color=gold]"...Heads up."
