Overview

While writing this profile for Marcus, I realized that I'm very detailed and particular with his behaviour and mannerisms ^^'. He's my first oc after all so I guess that's what I get for having him since 2008.

None of his specifics and mannerisms are mandatory tho. These are just notes for myself and later projects^^ You can read through and follow if you want but I'm not gonna force you to take every little detail into consideration when drawing him

Personality

Marcus isn't really a lone wolf(hehe), he just tries to be, and is a bit emotionally distant for what he feels is for his own safety. He doesn't lend out smiles all willy-nilly (to not draw in the wrong crowd) especially when what he is isn't exactly a common occurance in his home island, but he wouldn't mind if you ask him.

Even though Marcus has a ton of traumatic ass childhood events at his disposal, he refuses to make "eugh dead parents" his base personality. "They done past tense already plus dere's other folks besides dem I care about,," - his brain

The only thing that rubs him the wrong way about their deaths was how it was handled. His father, despite being the town's gravedigger, was left rotting on top soil while his mother had a beautifully well-organized burial. This level of disrespect for the dead left a stain as he now has difficulties trusting folks as much as he would like too(especially when he looks a lot like his daddy, whoa~), and can't stop thinking about how the folks around him, if he gets too attached to the wrong ones, may treat his body after death.

LIKES

  • Colours: Ivory, black n blue.
  • Jewelery: Rings, earings, necklaces, antiques n all that tho he doesn't actually wear them.
  • Cold Weather/Temperatures: Leave the boy when it's raining, he's at peace. I mean, unless you’re anemic as heck then he wouldn’t mind if you chill next to him. He’s body like an oven n he can kinda smell you barley clinging onto life there. He gets it, get warm then invest in a good Jack n get lost, ur in his personal space.
  • Music: Listening, singing, playing. He's down for anything. Boy has vocals, and a wide vocal range at that.
  • Carrots: More than Shinobu whose literally a rabbit.
  • Liming With Herbivors: He just does.
  • Sweets:  Ppl don’t really expect a guy like him to like sweets so much. He tries to be responsible w/ it. Give Fran a round of applause for pinching ratios in him
  • Alcohol: The occasional red wine on rainy nights really gets him in the mood to storm watch n read. *Legal drinking age is 18 losers, suck salt.
  • Romance Novels:  yes he’s the tough guy who a secret romantic except not really he’s just done with everybody’s bull. [•••] lets him vibe and organize books in the library when he needs a getaway from bouncing Coin’Side. [•••] teaches him English A n English B as well to make sure this young man gets his education in turn for fruits n veggies (hates that Tunapuna market heat).

DISLIKES

  • Water: Not that he can't swim, he just hates not being able to stand in water. He'll just casually sink like it's nobody's buisness.
  • Fireworks: A couple of townfolks were setting off fireworks to celebrate Independence Day when one got too close to him n boom. Trama~
  • Busy Streets: Especially at night. Too much noise, way to bright.
  • Ppl trying to find Coin'Side: Break into Coin'Side n he'll brake your ankles. It's fair trade.
  • Lies n Empty Promises: Especially to his face.
  • Blood n Meat: He usually substitutes the blood for beetroot. It’s those laga-genes man,, although he has to to survive he rather not.
  • His Anger Temperament: He’s not the quiet kid. Man will rock up to your face and tell you off straight up. No lady style gossip in private, plus his voice is rich/baddy enough to travel when he isn’t using his library voice (bassy by soft; jerks his words a bit). Very verbal when he’s caught up in his emotions; violently silent when he’s over the edge enraged. Luckily enough none of this happens often n home boy’s working on it .
  • Lies n empty promises: Vivamus rutrum nibh ut quam ullamcorper, nec tempus ligula.

TRIVIA

  • He's partially deaf in the left ear due to fireworks so he has problems hearing from time to time.
  • He has little to no feeling in his tail. Boy can't wag.
  • He won't tell ppl he doesn't trust his real name. Hence why he has a lot of nick and pseudo names. (Daniel Jackson, Dagada, Lupo, Wolfe, Ghost, goddamn poltergeist etc)
  • He's the most difficult character for me to draw and he never seems to look the same each time.
  • I've never actually finished a drawing of him :') It's rare for him to hit the line art stage
  • He hit his head at a young age which resulted in him omitting his speech. It gets better as ge gets older tho.
  • For the blood n meat thing, It’s bad to the point this lamb at Bow’s and Heusta’s school forced him to try a piece of her own leg. Don’t worry it was already amputated. She lost it in a biking accident so she turned it into tacos n fed this carnivore bois
  • As for the library thing, ppl started visiting and bringing their friends 'n all to the library to check out “the young librarian”(Marcus) and macco in the weird quarrels Marcus and [og librarian] have. It’s free entertainment n I don’t blame them, now og mister library man had to put up a sign stating that there WILL be noise in the building from 11am-12am on weekends.

DESIGN NOTES

  • Eyes are typically silver; mirror-like, a faint yellow or mint green. Since his pupils are white he's always having to squint / have his eyes half open in bright areas.
  • Eyes rarely ever look directly at the "camera". Possibly a bit of cokey eye.
  • He has two moles, one at each side of his mouth.
  • The tips of his ears are either squared or rounded.
  • There are holes in his ears (which were supposed to be wounds) where the "earlobe" would be.
  • Eyelashes :)

HOBBIES

  • Music: Listening, singing, and playing the djembe occasionally
  • Wood Carving:  Carves wooden masks and other items like arrows and candle holders.
  • Cooking: He cooks the meals at Fran's house.
  • Liming: Hanging out with other Neapolitan Bois and Supporting Cast. Jumbies too cause they can get pretty rowdy if left alone too long.
  • Hunting: Iguana, Agouti, Tattoo and cage birds.

HABITS

  • Lemme Lower The Volume: Has a habit of squinting his eyes to hear better.
  • Ironically Smokes: Fran can't stand the scent. He doesn't know that the person who got him into smoking started the fire that slow roasted his village.
  • Slow Turn: When he's focused and someone catches his attention, he slowly turns his head w/ his eyes still locked on the previous subject, till only when his head's facing close enough to yours then his eyes will focus on you.
  • Covering His Teeth In Public: Especially when he hangs out around herbivors. Don't want that fight or flight instinct activating.
  • Rarely Smiles: If he does you know his feelings are genuine, or yaknow you could just ask him. Smiles are either "Soft puppy/proud", "Calm and collected killer", No inbetweens.

STRENGTHS

  • Brutally Honest:  Yeah he's not holding back/spearing you. If there's something you need to hear, he'll tell you, wheather you like it or not.
  • Strong-willed and Dutiful: Very patient and does whatever it takes to meet his goals.
  • Loyal And Responsible: Never breaks his promises and will work himself to the ground to make ends meet.
  • Calm: In the scary sense. If he looses his temper you wouldn't hear it in his voice. You might see it in his face but you'll definiely see it in his actions.
  • Jacks-Of-All-Trades: Don't be surprised if he just picks up a skill. He probaly picked it up on the streets.

WEAKNESSES

  • Stubborn: Try changing his mind once he makes a decision. Even if it's for his own good.
  • Insensitive: He may take your emotions to consideration but only to figure out the best way to lay it to you.
  • Always By The Book: He's only strict for the saftey of others, not himself.
  • Judgmental: He's not going to respect you if you ignore the facts, especially when their laid right out for you.
  • Unreasonable Blame: He puts a lot on his shoulders, so when something fails he puts the burden on himself alone.

SKILLS

  • Languages: Trinidadian English Creole but uses Trini Standard English in front of [library man] so he doesn’t get hit upside the head with a book. Knows a good chunk of sign language because of Fran.
  • Fighting: He fights A LOT which worries Fran when he comes home looking rachet with a bloody nose. He fights low to the ground and mostly with his legs, always aiming to throw his opponent off balance before delivering a critical hit.
  • Archery n Javelin: He tips his arrows with cyanide made from bitter cassava(poisonous). Sometimes he just throws it at them.
  • Gymnast: Mans real flexable.
  • Hidden: If he doesn't want to be found, he won't be.

GOALS

  • Family Man: Wants is a family cause his dad sucks at raising children and the grudges held are ferm.
  • Military Man: Wants to become a member of the Army but with that PTSD from fireworks, baby boy I don't think you will.
  • INFO: Sed elit orci, egestas vitae risus ac, egestas eleifend justo.
  • INFO: Fusce libero est, imperdiet sit amet augue ac, hendrerit ullamcorper lacus.
  • INFO: Sed elit orci, egestas vitae risus ac, egestas eleifend justo.

FEARS

  • Large Bodies Of Water: He'll become motionless, almost paralized from head to toe once he's submerged.
  • Forest Fires: His village and biological family got clapped in one.
  • Fireworks: Trama; A couple of townfolks were setting off fireworks to celebrate Independence Day and one got too close to him. He was 7 when this happened and it caused him to develope PTSD
  • INFO: Aliquam lacus quam, vestibulum imperdiet libero a, varius malesuada justo.
  • INFO: Nam eget elementum libero.

SECRETS

  • Rabbits: He has a soft spot for rabbits. Probably a childhood thing.
  • La Diablesse: When a person falls victim to La Diablesse, he trails and robs them of their jewelery. Later, he sells the valuables off but not before beating the "victims" up. He has his reasons.
  • Eyebrow scar: Nothing special. Boy was running in the yard in his mother's wedges and he tripped and cut his eyebrow on a rock. He wears it like a king.
  • Identity: My boy is no wolf-dog, well.. 50%. he's flat out a wolf but the its the lagahoo . He shaves his fur so that he'll look more "domecticated" as he rather not scare someone at first glance and start unnecessary commotions.
  • TRIGGER WARNING(Self-Harm): To deal with the trama of what became of his home he'd bash his tail with rocks. This resulted in his tail being limp and numb.
  • Romantic: Is my boy love sick? Bro he n all doesn’t even know, he’s probably deprived but mmm those toasty stories warms his fuzzy heart.
  • Coin’Side: He was practically birthed to protect and act as the guard dog for Coin’Side so excuse him for trying his darn hardest tryna do his duty and spare you from insanity. He doesn’t want a ghostly scolding from his ancestors plus enough /trespassing pedestrian ankles have been broken.
  • Lagahoo: As a laga-halfbreed, Marcus notorious to kill in his laga form just like traditional werewolves but not as sturdy as an alleged full breed. Items marinated in holy oil n holy water for 9 day straight does the trick, you just have to jump him with it and break the skin.

FAMILY

Aunt •


Oh dear loves this woman with most of his heart (leaving the rest for his future gf believe it not,, this boy wants love yo) I mean she basically took care of him like her nephew since he was like what.. 7? and I know y’all know or heard of that cool aunt experience. Communicates through speaking and sign language; He reads her hands and replies verbally most of the time since she isn’t deaf while Fran just signs frantically and chirps n makes this Philza Minecraft after sneeze sounds. She can speak simple sentences n phrases but it’s a struggle


Parents •


More of a Dad's kid honestly. Mother Dagger wasn't around that much in his "nearly turing double digets" days and on since she was working as an Au Pair at the time.

Aenean maximus neque non mauris condimentum malesuada. Ut hendrerit quam quis mi malesuada hendrerit. Sed congue condimentum sem vitae vehicula.


FRIENDS

Friend •


Mans just pulled up one day in their backyard looking for Maracas Waterfalls

“Laga-boy” - Heusta after learning his boy is a whole folklore. Still wants to be the best man at his wedding tho.


Bow

Friend •


Befriended through Heusta and cool with him but is a bit more wary since he knows Shinobu’s Roman Catholic and doesn’t want a crown of thorns made from silver barb wire on his head. Tries to figure out how the heck Bow finds the time to make outfits for him cause some of these intricate designs kinda fresh ngl.


OTHER

Interloper •


On site 24/7, he absolutely hates this man oh lord. Saw him trying to walk up to his house with a bouquet of flowers (for Fran) once and nearly desimated the man. He doesn't know much about Quiver, just little things here and there from what Fran told him but apparently it's enough to send Marcus into wanting to snatch Quiver's lungs whenever he spots him.
