The Man in Love with Death Herself
The year is 1979. The sky burns orange with leaded air over a vicious city.
A freshman entomology major at UCLA, Marcel makes his living and pays his tuition through highly-illegal underground prizefighting rings in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles. Though he's no killer himself, he becomes infatuated with jazz singer Gloria Mulgrave, when he sees her murder a man in cold blood just for the sheer joy of it. The cruelty she displays, and the beautiful, soft exterior hiding such violent pleasure, is enough to make him fall in love at first sight
Marcel is a boy of contrasts. Barely legal but aggressively worldly, a straight-A student who has a motorcycle and a huge, ostentatious tattoo of a wasp on his inner thigh, and a vicious brute whose heart is full of love. He'll gladly act as accomplice and witness to Gloria's wanton crimes, but never cares to deal the killing blow himself, preferring to watch her enjoy the murders herself.
When not studying, "working," or spending time with Gloria, Marcel can be found checking out the newest horror movie at the nearest theater, or hanging around Goetia, a little punk bar on Fairfax Ave., with a fake ID. A thrill seeker and aesthete, he cares little for moderation and chases whatever he wants with dogged enthusiasm and determination.
And of course, he'll keep the woman he loves away from the prying eyes of the law with whatever lies or crimes of his own he deems necessary.
- Doesn't sleep nearly enough
- Will drive up over to other cities to catch interesting concerts and check out new bands
- Has a freakishly high tolerance to both caffeine and capsaicin
- Has extremely severe ADHD, which he self-medicates heavily with far, far too much coffee
- The owner of Goetia knows Marcel is only 18, but she lets him in anyway because he's big and scary enough to keep the nazi punks out.
- Loves Oscar Wilde more than is strictly normal
- Is more openly bisexual than most, able to simply because nobody wants to give him any guff about it
- Specializes in studying wasps
- Insects and Spiders
- Scary Movies
- Violence
- School
- LA Traffic
- Being Lied To
- Teachers Who Mumble
- Sleep Schedules
- Modeled partly after Sugimoto Saichi (Golden Kamuy)
- Always has dark circles under eyes
- Has a scar on his right cheek and one through his left eyebrow
- Due to having fluffy, curly-wavy hair, hairstyle always varies slightly
- Instead of monocle, he only wears his red, cats-eye glasses in this timeline
- Associated with predatory social wasps such as hornets, as a motif
- Wears leather jacket most places
- Both ears are pierced, and have small notched scars underneath from where earrings have been ripped out over the years
- Alongside buck teeth, Marcel also has sharper-than-average canines
Marcel was born and raised in Gardena, a primarily Japanese city in Los Angeles county, and sometime in between high school and now, became something of a wild boy who doesn't quite live on the right side of the law. But nonetheless, he studies hard and hasn't done much of anything to shed his honor student image. After his parents died in a car accident, he was left alone and had to fend for himself, despite struggling with keeping regular jobs. A brief foray into sex work led to information that led to him to find out about the prizefighting rings that occur throughout the city, under the radar. Deciding he'd make more by sticking to his more niche talents, he chose to fight more regularly instead.
