[color=black][b]g e n d e r[/b][/color] Male [h3][color=f08080][b]P O W E R[/b][/color][/h3] [list] [*] [b]Eldritch Magic:[/b] Acting as an agent for the Babylonian god Sirsir, Marcus is capable of using magic of any kind so long as he learns the spell, the name, and the purpose of the spell. He's only limited to his willpower and his own knowledge [*] [b]Persuasion:[/b] Upon offering patronage to Sirsir, Marcus was granted the gift of 'The Voice'. Using this power, Marcus directly channels the will of Sirsir through him and can command people to do as he pleases. However, this ability only works if Marcus can speak and only if his target(s) can hear him and understand him. [*] [b]Unholy Vessel:[/b] In times of great need, Marcus can become the avatar of Sirsir and take his form for a very brief period. However, doing this saps all of Marcus's will and leaves him in a coma like state for several days [/list] [color=black][b]w e a k n e s s[/b][/color] As stated before, Marcus is limited by his willpower. The more powerful the spell, the more will is required. Marcus is also half mad due to Sirsir's influence, sometimes losing control and allowing Sirsir to fully control him or being controlled by Sirsir fully by force. In order to keep his powers, Marcus also must make blood sacrifices every New Moon to feed the ancient god or it will drain the life out of him. [h3][color=f08080][b]I N F O[/b][/color][/h3] Marcus wasn't born with any sort of magic ability, rather he was like any man who led an unremarkable life. He was once a college history professor, married to a beautiful wife, father to a beautiful daughter. His life changed when his little girl was diagnosed with Stage 3 Leukemia. Marcus watched as his daughter began to wither away, science failing her at every turn. Desperate, Marcus sought a more mystical method of healing her. He began to study magic and the occult, soon learning the ritual to summon a Babylonian god of magic by the name of Sirsir. The deal was simple, Marcus became the human agent of Sirsir and gained powerful magic abilities to save his daughter in exchange for a soul of Sirsir's choosing at a time it deemed acceptable. With his power, his daughter grew healthy and strong. Then Sirsir named the soul, Marcus's wife. When Marcus refused Sirsir transformed his daughter into an eldritch monster that tore his wife apart. Sirsir promised Marcus that his daughter would be returned to him unharmed and normal if Marcus served loyally and sacrificed a human being every New Moon....
