Personality & Traits
| 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 |
| Personal History | Marcus comes from a long line of military men and women. His family can trace its associations with the military all the way back to the French Foreign Legion, back on Earth. He is a fourth-generation Marine. raised on Starships and star bases, he has never had a permanent place to call "home". The Corps is his home, the military discipline of the Marine Corps has been ingrained into him since he was old enough to talk. He has never married, but is open to the idea, even though he believes that such things are beyond his reach at this stage of his life. | |
