Marcus has the makings of a strong, proud man, he walks with determination in his steps, showing that the training he went through is still in his very essence, despite him trying to wash it away. Used to wearing combat gear or elegant suits, he now wears rundown leather jackets, four day old T-shirts, ripped Jeans and his five year old boots. Hoodies or coats are not uncommon for him to wear, either. His face is constantly scruffy, as he only ocassionally bothers to shave, one a month or so. There's a certain elegance to the way he moves, even despite his drunken stumblings, all betraying his secret that once upon a time, he was someone you could rely on, but no more.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ B I O G R A P H Y:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][sup][color=silver]"Nobody that comes from a happy home joins the military."[/color][/sup][/CENTER][indent][indent][i]Marcus Cassidy, born to Arthur and Camille Cassidy. His mother a aspiring actress, his father a big shot corporate Lawyer. Thanks to Arthur's business contacts and wealth, Marcus grew up very wealthy, having the ability to get everything he ever wanted. His childhood was somewhat normal, growing up, till he was four years old, at least. That was the first time he ever heard Arthur and Camille fighting, they were arguing about his mother's desire to get her acting career off, which Arthur would not permit. Marcus saw his father hit his mother for the first time that night. It escalated, like stairs that move and in the coming years, Arthur's business would do worse and he began drinking more and more. Once he got drinking, he turned violent, abusing Camille, but never Marcus. But that changed when he was eleven. Marcus heard Arthur grab Camille, and she cried, cried that she was gonna call the police. Marcus ran into the kitchen, and put himself in between his parents, protecting the most important woman in his world from the monster that was his father. Arthur hit him, and threw him into the fridge, breaking four of his ribs and giving him a concussion. Marcus spent his preteens and teenage years living under the thumb of Arthur, pretending to be a normal, happy family. And at times, they were. He and Arthur had good times, Arthur taught Marcus how to ski, and how to drive, he helped him with his homework and he talked with Marcus when Marcus has his first crush on a classmate. But the good times didn't make up for the bad times. When Marcus was 17, he had a little sister, Daisy. He was scared, and angry that his little sister would grow up with Arthur, living under his thumb, and Marcus couldn't stand for it, so before Daisy's first birthday, he shipped off to join the military. While going through basic training, his abilities manifested, stopping a bullet in the middle of the air. Calls were made, and he was taken out of his training, and instead relocated to Canada, PRCU. Where he would finish his high school education, and go on to live for the next five years. At 22, he was offered a spot in the H.I.T Program, one he rejected at first, instead wishing to serve his country, finishing his military training. He became a Marine, and for two years he was deployed to hotzones all over the world. Fighting dictators and terrorist forces alike. That is, until his unit was put in the Operation “Dawn Of Orion”. Officially, their mission was to confiscate blueprints for a new bio weapon from a terrorist cell in Sudan. Unofficially, it was a black ops to eliminate a threat the Marines had no business in dealing with. His squad was attacked by three Hyperhumans, Marcus used his abilities to fight two of them off, but was defeated and put in critical condition. Half a year later, he had recovered from his injuries, having for the first time truly seen what Hyperhumans out of control could do, Marcus went back to PRCU and joined H.I.T. But not before returning to Crescent City, and giving his father a piece of his mind. He was the model agent of H.I.T for the entirety of his career. It all coming to a heed in 2016, when he was tasked with tracking down a Hyperhuman serial killer, who had already laid out 6 Victims, with ice related wounds. He found Mr.Frost, as the deranged lunatic insisted he would be called, the two had a battle, where Marcus killed the Hyperhuman. Discovering 20 teens and children, all of which were missing – and the offspring of Hyperhumans, frozen to death. Having been powerless to stop their deaths, it finally got to him.

Not asking for the world here."[/color][/sup][/CENTER][indent][indent][i][/i]Marcus is running from his past. Well, trying to drow it, more accurately. He's full of self hate, loathing and doubt unable to know if he's made the right call in life. He's trying to forget his problems and occupies his time with cheap booze and expensive women.

Unless I say so."[/color][/sup][/CENTER][indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//ABILITIES:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Gravity Manipulation |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Marcus is able to gather complete control over Gravity, one of the four fundamental forces of physics. He can add force to gravity, or subtract, allowing him to make you very heavy, or almost weightless. He's able to affect large areas, such as entire buildings. He can create new points of gravity, creating new gravitational pulls, albeit, he cannot remove ones he has not created. This allows him to pin foes, or things to walls by pushing them against it. By making threads of new gravity points, he's able to feign telekinesis, or flight, simply slingshotting himself through the air. But, most efficent is his ability to create null-gravity zones in a area around him, he can all but turn off gravity, giving himself artificial gravity to still move, but putting any opponent in total inertia, making them unable to generate friction. [/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//SKILLS:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Martial Training |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Marcus is trained in Martial Arts, Marksmanship and Vehicular Warfare by both the U.S Military and H.I.T, making him an excellent combatant, trained in a wide variety of martial arts.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Free Running |[/COLOR][/B] [i]You don't get to chase down rogue speedsters or super agile freaks without learning how to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Being able to control gravity, and therefor being able to control if you fall or not aids greatly in this effort.. [/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Detective Skills |[/COLOR][/B] [i]He used to operate as a detective for H.I.T, as port of his workload as a Agent. His skills are on par with the best of Crescent City P.D, plus added knowledge about Hyperhumans. [/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Drinking |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Years of practice, he's become an excellent drinker, able to drink most under the table. With his years of bar diving during his days off, he's developed a kind of 'urban shamantism', able to connect with a bar and the people in it, quickly getting a read on them. This has lead to him becoming somewhat charming, both to further his own interests, and to get with the ladies. That, or the booze's talking. [/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//LIMITATIONS:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Powers |[/COLOR][/B] [i]His gravity abilities are powerful, but due to their natural power to mess with physics, Marcus is constantly wired to play them down. To rely on his martial prowess, over his powers. As such, he never truly cuts loose, as if he did, things would go terrible and he'd very easily become the thing he's spent his adult life battling.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Concentration |[/COLOR][/B] [i]His powers require great amount of concentration, if he cannot muster that up, his powers will not amount to much. Emotional grief works as a substitute, leading to him keeping his feelings under lock and key, too. [/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Physical Form |[/COLOR][/B] [i]If he cannot see a bullet come – and stop it in the air. His body's just flesh and blood. No super soldier serum, no alien DNA, no healing factor. If you shoot him, he'll die, just like a regular human. [/i] [/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//WEAKNESSES:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Post Traumatic Stress Disorder |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Marcus has been suffering from PTSD ever since he was a child, the brutal beatings he took at the hands of his father laid the groundwork for the damage the trauma he would face later in life. His current mental health could by some shrinks be considered a psychotic episode, being mentally burnt out'. [/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Alcoholism |[/COLOR][/B] [i]He's an alcoholic, addicted to the sauce. He'll drink himself to death, sooner or later. [/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Impulsive |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Thinking before acting isn't Marcus's strong point anymore, he'll just do things. [/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Self-Sacrificing |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Not to say Marcus is suicidal, he's not. But he'd be okay with throwing himself in front of a train to save another person, simply just to not have [/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ N O T E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//SUPPORTING CAST:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ ALLIES[/COLOR][/B] [indent][B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE] [img]http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/2/2d/Julie_Benz.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060920123631[/img] ◼[I]Camille Cassidy | Mother[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Loving mother, recently divorced from her Husband, Arthur, 50[/i] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/s1dcpJv.jpg[/img] ◼ [I]Daisy Cassidy | Sister[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Baby Sister, 12[/i] [/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ FRIENDS[/COLOR][/B] [indent][B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/27/43/be/2743be2a5b186654e9c7e0a4ccae909b.jpg[/img] ◼ [I]Lisa Smith |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]On Again Off Again Girlfiend, 28.[/i][/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ ENEMIES[/COLOR][/B] [indent][B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE] [img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTA5NDQyNjgxNzZeQTJeQWpwZ15BbWU3MDgzMDk5MDk@._V1_UY317_CR6,0,214,317_AL_.jpg[/img] ◼ [I]Arthur Cassidy |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Estranged Father[/i][/indent][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//STOMPING GROUNDS[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Lonely Hearts Club | Pointe Bordeaux[/COLOR][/B] [i]Marcus knows all the ins and outs of the Lonely Hears Club area, every bartender has poured him a drink ever stripper knows his name, and every bouncer has kicked him out.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//PARAPHERNALIA[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ H.I.T Suit |[/COLOR][/B] [i]A ballistic weaved, specially tailored suit capable of protecting against small caliber gunfire, knives.
