Personality & Traits

General Overview		Easy-going and affable. Marcus thinks the best of everyone until they prove him wrong. He is friendly and outgoing, but does not suffer fools lightly, regardless of their rank or status. He is willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but his motto is, "Once bitten, Twice shy."
Strengths & Weaknesses		Marcus is anatural-born leader, able to inspire confidence and courage in his subordinates, settling for nothing less than their best. and getting it from them. In combat, he is lethal. His loyalty to his crew and his fellow Marines is both a strength and a weakness. He will protect them, doing anything within reason to make sure that they all come home, but this can blind him to their personality flaws. He is also very stubborn, and once he latches on to an idea, it takes a lot to make him let go of it.
Ambitions		Marcus wants to make general some day, not because of the prestige it brings, but because he realizes that Generals can get things done to improve the survivability and safety of the men and women under his command.
Hobbies & Interests		All kinds of sports, contests of strength, strategy, and cunning. He enjoys tri-d chess, even though he's not very good. He likes Holo-simming, but he also reads books, loves Fantasy sword and sorcery, and is fond of musical theater. If he weren't an officer in StarFleet, he'd like to be an actor. Fed. Std., French, and Klingon
