He has even been known to wear a leather jacket if the weather calls for it, or if he just wants to bring a little bit of a badass factor to his outfit. He often wears cheap clothes as when he infuses himself with Fire, his own clothes tend to burn off. However, he doesn't wear polyester shirts. He is very distinct in that he only likes pure fabrics, as things like polyester aren't as breathable, and get quite uncomftable in the heat.

He knows what he wants, and is willing to do anything to get it. If he doesn't get it, he doesn't become a sore loser. One of his philosophies is that if something was meant to happen, then it will. Try hard so you deserve it to happen. If it didn't happen, its not your fault. The universe just had other plans. For the most part, he can get really into what he is doing, even if he always has a happy go lucky attitude. Coming from a small town cop background, he doesn't really look for creative or eccentric ways to solve problems, often just going with the easiest or most obvious answer to things. Which has led to him destroying some rather expensive equipment given to him by the Sci-Tech division, so now they hesitant to give him cool weaponry.

Marcus wanted more than just stopping Australia's super-powered criminals. He wanted to do something larger scale. He applied with his supervisor to get a transfer to SHIELD. Wanting to bring his abilities into the global stage. Get out into the world and help more people. [b][color=7FFF00]General History:[/color][/b] Born in Townsville, QLD, Marcus Dixon spent his early life in a small town, that had a high military and mining population. He had a relatively easy early life. His parents provided for him, pretty well. He went to a good school. Was generally raised right. When he graduated from high school, he wanted to help people. So, he joined up with the police force. It was boring work at first, but whenever the troops would come back from deployment, and the miners had time off, the town would get busy. All that male energy meant violence was always inevitable. So, at least he had some times when he got to fight. After his first violent altercation with a suspect, he found he enjoyed it. So, he started putting his name down for more and more dangerous missions. One day, a mission came along that required the raiding of the local army barracks. Normally it was Military Police who handled this kind of thing, but the local MPs were the suspects, and the higher-ups didn't want to send anybody down, so they contracted the local Police department. As it turns out, the Local MPs were smuggling in terrigen crystals. During the raid, the fire alarm was set off, and the sprinklers activated one of the crystals. Marcus was exposed to the mist and started his terrigenesis. Awakening about a week later, he found himself in a government facility in Canberra. It was in this facility, the events that had transpired were explained to him. The Australian Government then offered him place on a task force to help deal with super-powered threats within Australia. Marcus enjoyed doing this for two years before growing bored and applying to join Shield. Joining up with SHIELD wasn't easy. At first they declined taking him in, because his only real qualification was having been a small town cop for four years. He applied again on his own, but the task force he was assigned to intercepted his application and denied the transfer. Saying he was still under contract, and that leaving would make him a fugitive in Australia. Marcus then went to the person who was next up the chain of command and asked them for help. They gladly helped him apply, and get into SHIELD Acadmy, as part of the Operations wing.

It is just common courtesy. If you are going to be away for a while, or can't reply because of work commitments, then you should tell your partners. If you just vanish, they are left waiting. Nobody likes waiting. What's worse, is it plants a seed of doubt. YOur partners start wondering if they did something wrong. They stop growing as a writer.
