Physical Appearance:
With a lanky, lean build, Marcus isn't the biggest, most imposing person ever. He is well enough built to be muscled but isn't bulky. His hair is medium length, going down to just below his chin, curly and messy. He also has a soul patch on his chin, and a small birthmark in a short slash on his left forearm.

Attire:
Marcus' regular attire consists of a blank tank top, brown cargo pants and sports shoes or sneakers. Around his neck is a simple string necklace, on which is a shark tooth, seashell and a pair of customised dog tags. One tag has his basic information, the other has 'Marrow' engraved on one side, the other having his brother's basic information.


Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:
Outwardly, Marcus is a junkie. Hyped up and energetic, his charisma is greater than his smarts, it seems. It fills the customers of the cafe he works at with much happiness and laughter. He's a bundle of laughs and jokes, and is always ready to help someone cheer up if they need to, or just plain help them if they need.

Inwardly, he is troubled. Broken. His brother's death by the hands of the Fiends traumatised him greatly. The sports, his job, his cheer and happiness just mask the depression that lies within his soul.

Hobbies/Interests:
Extreme sports
Coffee making
Traveling

Skills/Talents:
Snowboarding
BMX biking
Roller skating
Balance
Coffee making

Prized Possession:
His snowboard, a Burton Antler Flying V. Sadly since Verthaven is such a tropical city, he doesn't get to use it a lot, but the times he does get to use it abroad are the best times of his life.
His BMX bike, a Mongoose Legion L80. The bike is his main mode of short-distance transportation, and if he isn't riding it, he's carrying it with him to his favourite destinations for biking, tricking and riding.
His string necklace. The shark tooth was from a visit to Hawaii, the seashell from Barbados, and the dog tags were from he and his brother's time in the army.

History/Bio:
Born in Eagle-Rock to a middle income family, Marcus found himself bored with life growing up. In grade school, he grew up with a bike he inherited from his dad, and going into high school he got himself a cheap, second hand BMX and started riding around everywhere with it. At first, people criticised him for it, even his parents too, but he ignored them. He and his brother were adrenaline junkies from the moment they got their first bikes.

After graduating from high school with his brother in tow, they embarked on a journey they were hoping to go on for ages: the military, only the most extreme adrenaline rush in the world. Signing on to the US army, they were immediately deployed as relief troops in run down places in the Middle East and Africa, providing food and water to displaced families from terror and violence. However, the peace they had was never meant to last. While in transit from village to village somewhere out in Iraq, their convoy was bombed by terrorists. The Rowland brothers, at the head of the convoy, were the worst hit. But where his brother perished, Marcus didn't, and for one specific reason: at the point after the bombing occurred, while the convoy was regrouping itself, Marcus discovered his powers of quick cellular regeneration and bone manipulation. Unconsciously resetting his broken skeletal structure while his body repaired itself, he was able to survive the incident, only later finding out that his brother suffered the worst fate.

Broken and desolate, he returned to the States looking to lose himself in something that wouldn't remind him of his brother, but not finding any solace in quieter things, he resolved instead to pursue things that would honour him instead. Turning to extreme sports, he went back into biking, snowboarding, sky diving, all these things, while looking for a job, of course. Working in a cafe as a barista to upkeep his active lifestyle, he spent the remainder of his time up til present making coffee and going on all sorts of adventures, bringing back the local brews and beans for his job whenever he went abroad.

Abilities

Power Class:
Super-System - Biological

Power:
Bone manipulation, enhanced cellular regeneration, dulled pain

Limits:
He can only manipulate the bones in his own body, and no one else.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
Being able to control his very skeletal structure is absolutely torturing and grevious, but thanks to his fast regeneration he almost never dies from it. The pain, however, is something he can't block out. Having fixed his own broken bones and fractures many many times over the course of his extreme sports hobbies, his sense of pain has dulled somewhat, but each and every time he manipulates his own bones, it will always hurt.


Other:
None


I'll come up with more believable crap for his biography later. My brain's not working properly right now, plus no inspiration.
