His naturally blonde hair is almost always dyed to be a bright red. He has deep amber eyes which always seem to be analyzing whatever he's looking at. When around others he tends to try and keep a smile on his face unless various circumstances would suggest otherwise but when alone his expression tends to be alarmingly blank. His attire tends to be a formal casual always wearing high-end clothes that fit just right. The true first impression is how one looks and he has full belief in that.[/sup][/indent][color=red][h2][u]Personality:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=red]↳ [/color]Marcus is an extremely social guy. Everyone in his class seems to like him, and you'll rarely catch him without a smile on his face. Some would say that Marcus always knows what to say to cheer them up and the teen tends to make it his mission to take care of those close to him. But really what can anyone say about a person unless they get in their head. Marcus just enjoys attention and fun. That's mostly it. And it's not really any fault of his own. He just doesn't understand himself. He knows how people typically react to things and what a genuine response should be. But he doesn't understand as everything that happens to him and those around him affect him differently than it affects anyone else. He's scared of the possibility that something is wrong with him. Marcus is not a bad guy. He cares about people. But he just can't seem to create a real connection with them. He often finds himself doing things on a whim. Whatever interests him really. Makes for great content on YouTube most of the time. He enjoys spending time with kids. Especially his younger sisters. Marcus has just always felt drawn to kids since they are open about everything and they are curious about the world. The older someone gets, the less the world seems to sparkle.[/sup][/indent][color=red][h2][u]History:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=red]↳ [/color]The golden child from the Reese household. That's what some in his hometown tend to call Marcus. He's kind, outgoing, helpful, hardworking, and the list of good adjectives go on and on. From a young age, it seemed as if Marcus was the perfect child. He never caused problems for his parents or siblings. He'd always be willing to share his toys with other kids. He even one time gave his candy money to an old lady who was short some money for her groceries. Of course, his parents still got him a lollipop, but young Marcus was always a kind affectionate sort. He knew that if he was kind to others they'd be kind right back. He had a lot of friends as well, but one day his best friend just disappeared. No one would talk to him or answer his questions about what happened to her. So many things ran through his mind, and each was worse than the last. But the one he finally settled on was that she had just abandoned him. A few weeks later he received a letter from her, and that's when he finally heard the story of what had happened. By that point, he didn't care. Why was he left out of the loop? Why was he lied to? They could have just told him, and he'd be able to deal with it. From that point on he was a little rebellious, but only at home and to his parents. He also still had friends, but it was never the same. When he started middle school, he'd have the occasional girlfriend, but it never lasted. Only two things shone like a light in his existence. A community that enjoyed his antics on the internet and his adorable little sisters. They were the only ones who had never lied to him. Then another person left him. His mother the one who fostered the sweet boy just up and went. And the last interaction Marcus remembered having with her was more or less him getting mad at her because she asked him if he had a Valentine. A simple question with a simple answer but he just couldn't bring himself to answer like any normal kid, or maybe he just didn't care. Then she was gone in such a horrible way. Another person who hid their troubles and left. Oddly enough he wasn't affected by her death. He could tell she was hurting. He didn't want her to have to suffer. What upset him was that darned letter she had left for each of her children. When the cursed paper came into his possession, he ran. He ran as far as he could. When he stopped, he found himself next to a quiet lake. He looked at the letter and fear overwhelmed him. What if it was his fault? What if yelling at her for no reason in her worst state of mind pushed her over the edge? He couldn't risk that and tried to throw it into the water, but the wind had other ideas blowing it right back at him. So, to this day it sits in the corner of his room. To make matters worse, a year after his mother died two more walked away leaving him behind. His grieving father had gone with Maya, the youngest Reese child, to the park but they never returned. All he sees is their backs turned to him. Walking away laughing without a care in the world. If relationships are this painful? Then what's the point? Ever since Marcus has been in a state of flux. Around others, he still tries his best to not let anyone see his pain and anger, but his mind is a constant whirlwind of torment and thinking about the darkest possibilities. Once a month since the two vanished Marcus has found himself resting by that quiet lake. It's calming. The slow quiet movements of the water wash away most of the pain he feels inside. He finds himself talking essentially to the lake but really it's to himself and just getting the words out helps more than he ever thought they would. When things get rough he comes here. On one such trip, he is just staring across the lake when his head starts to feel dizzy. His eyes begin to feel very heavy and he slumps over on the ground using his arm to sleep. He's rested here many times so why should this time be any different?[/sup][/indent][/indent][/hider] [hr] [hider=Maizey][table][row][color=2e2c2c][sup][h1] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/200820/01fe05e2e94fd05f5fd243a205a38ea5.png[/img][/center][sub][color=mediumvioletred]__________________________________________________________[/color][/sub] [b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right] [/b] [/h1][/sup][/color][/row][row][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅[/color] [color=2e2c2c]▅[/color] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581497240573444097/746031248883056760/Maisey_2.png[/img][/cell][cell][b][color=mediumvioletred][h3]Name:[/h3][/color][sub][color=mediumvioletred] ↳[/color] Maizey[/sub] [color=mediumvioletred][h3]Age:[/h3][/color][sub][color=mediumvioletred] ↳[/color] 10[/sub] [color=mediumvioletred][h3]Gender:[/h3][/color][sub][color=mediumvioletred] ↳[/color] Female[/sub] [color=mediumvioletred][h3]Likes:[/h3][/color][sub][color=mediumvioletred] ↳[/color] Shade Fish Sounds When new vic- people show up Listening to 'normal' people sing[/sub] [color=mediumvioletred][h3]Dislikes:[/h3][/color][sub][color=mediumvioletred] ↳[/color] Rain Either to cold or to hot weather The Beings of this forest Silence Idiots[/sub][/b][/cell][/row][/table][color=mediumvioletred][sup][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b][/sup][/color] [table][row][color=2e2c2c][sup][h1] [b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right] [/b] [/h1][/sup][/color][/row][row][cell][indent][color=mediumvioletred][h2][u]Skills:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=mediumvioletred]↳ [/color]Hiding[/sup] [sup]Making Crude Arrows[/sup] [sup]Quick Runner[/sup] [sup]Tracking/Hunting[/sup][/indent][color=mediumvioletred][h2][u]Fears:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=mediumvioletred]↳ [/color]The Forest Denizens[/sup] [sup]New People[/sup] [sup]Being Captured[/sup][/indent][color=mediumvioletred][h2][u]Inventory:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=mediumvioletred]↳ [/color]5 Crude Looking Arrows[/sup] [sup]An Old Teddy Bear[/sup] [sup]A Badly Made Bow[/sup] [sup]Knife[/sup][/indent][/indent][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅[/color] [color=2e2c2c]▅[/color] [img]https://data.whicdn.com/images/113398968/original.gif[/img][/cell][/row][/table][indent][color=mediumvioletred][h2][u]Appearance:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=mediumvioletred]↳ [/color]A short girl with a height of four feet and three inches. She weighs approximately 68 pounds. She has very long hair that is of a copperish tint. Her eyes are a deep red that have seen some of the horrors this forest has to offer. Her clothing is just a simple white dress that seems like it has been run through the mud and filth for years, not once being washed. She has a bit of other pieces of clothing in various states of quality. All looking like she has had them for varying amounts of time and almost none of it matching. She also has a collar around her neck which she can't get off.[/sup][/indent][color=mediumvioletred][h2][u]Personality:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=mediumvioletred]↳ [/color]Maizey is definitely not your typical child. She's wild, distrusting, brutal, and cruelly honest. She has seen people come. She has seen them die. You can't be who you were and live. You MUST change or you will suffer. So, over the years she has lived in this forest she has adopted that mindset. So, whenever new people show up, if she for some reason chooses to stick with them will try and work them towards being capable of surviving here, and you can't be nice when getting someone to that place. At least, a child can't. Sure, older people who have adjusted to this world are better at getting new people to conform but Maizey doesn't have that luxury. But, she also can't fully entrust these people with her safety. Eventually, they will fail. Before they bring their doom upon themselves she will have taken all that they have gathered for herself, she'll even take some of their things from the 'old' world, and run before they realize it's over. If any of the monsters appear, she'll generally fight for her life to escape from them. If she believes she can win she'll fight to kill them. If they are attacking other people it depends on if they look new or not whether she'll help or not. If she sees other people that have been here for some time and she has never allied with them it will be her goal to take everything she can from them. It's not like they'll live much longer in her eyes. Being in a group only works for a time. Eventually, the monsters will come and you'll be too focused on either helping the others or believing that they'll help you and that when you realize you were wrong it will all be too late. Maizey wishes that one day she can go back to that place she once knew. It was so long ago but she knows it was safe and comforting. She hopes that someone will come that she can finally believe in. She's tired of fighting but also scared to quit.[/sup][/indent][color=mediumvioletred][h2][u]History:[/u][/h2][/color][indent][sup][color=mediumvioletred]↳ [/color]Maizey doesn't remember much outside of the world she has grown up in. That is because while she was still just a toddler, she along with her father were whisked away to this land of magic. They weren't the only ones though. A small group of people of varying ages. None of whom had any idea where they were. It did not take long before the group learned the nature of the forest. Over the next two years, the numbers of this group dwindled until the only ones remaining were Maizey, her father, and another kid who was about eight at this time. The group of three would soon become two when Maizey's father had to sacrifice himself in order to give Maizy and the other kid a chance to run away. The two weren't alone for very long though as other people found themselves waking up in the fantastical forest. This new group helped the two while the two informed them about the dangers of this forest. This co-existence helped for a time. Eventually, the two children realized that such a large group would never work forever, and despite not wanting to they stole whatever supplies they could for themselves and ran. Low and behold the fears of the children came to fruition and the group which had taken hold in a single part of the forest were soon overrun by the denizens of the land. For the next few years, the two repeated this process of siding with newcomers but eventually running when they felt that staying would mean certain death. It worked for a time but the two eventually got sloppy. For the entire time they had been here, neither had gone into the caves which seemed to go forever into the ground. But they got chased in there by some of the monsters. [/sup][hider=spoiler][sup]They ran deep into the caves and were discovered by other creatures which called the Faewoods their home. These creatures didn't kill them though. They captured the children and kept them under their 'protection'. In reality, they were the pets of these creatures. For a year and a half, Maizey was kept as a pet but through sheer determination, she eventually escaped. Unfortunately, she had been separated from the other child and has no idea where she could be. She has been trying to escape the caves to the woods ever since.
