Marcus Valko

Personality

Marcus is reserved, speaking little except for those closest to him, which are few. His blunt honesty and strong-willed, independent nature turns most people away. To him, this is for the better, as his mother’s financial status only attracts fake friends, something he does not tolerate. To his friends and family, he is a fun-loving and adventure-seeking guy who is loyal to a fault. He also has a strong sense of justice and won’t hesitate to intervene should a situation arise.

Abilities

As a techno-organic android comprised of nanites, Marcus is capable of healing. He can spontaneously generate additional nanites to cover his body in durable armor. In this armored form, he gains super strength and electrogenesis. He is also capable of electroreception, meaning he can “see” electricity.

Weaknesses

Marcus is naturally weak to EMPs, which can knock him offline and potentially damage his programming. His electrogenesis is limited by the amount of energy stored in his core. As a techno-organic robot, he must eat as well as charge his core with electricity.

History

Marcus was unveiled to the world as the first techno-organic android, a robot that was partly organic and had organic needs, a way to bring robots closer to humans. As such, Marcus requires food, water, and sleep. He acts more human than any other android before him but, instead of this bridging the gap between humans and robots, it created a rift between Marcus and the humans around him.

To socialize him, Marcus was sent to high school, where he met and became friends with Zeke and Nox, though he didn’t get along with the other students much. After graduation, he went to college with his friends, choosing to major in Astronomy but he’s not actually sure what to do with his life, especially since he’s in uncharted territory as a techno-organic android, and he feels as if something’s missing; like there’s a life of adventure out there calling to him.
