Infiltrating ones social and personal barriers is an art Marcus has mastered years ago. His natural charisma and acting skills allow him to change persona just as easily as exchanging masks, allowing him literally to adapt his personality and interactions with those around him in a blink of an eye. This allows Marcus to become acquainted with people very easily, making friends in a rather short period of time. He’s quite sociable; he even likes people in general, finding human interaction curious and interesting, and enjoying the company of another human. However despite his likeable and inviting visage he trusts nobody at face value. He believes in the saying: ‘Friends are made easy, trust is not.’ He usually tries to discover the secrets of those around him while hiding his own, and even then he will only trust you by how far he can throw you. He also doesn’t see anybody as a true friend, despite many others associating him with the title. He looks down on most people and as such does not believe anybody has merited his trust and friendship, though on an unconscious level he does long for a true friend, one he can show his deepest and darkest secrets, though he would never in his lifetime admit that. Marcus is also one who is slow to anger. Even being hated does not affect him, keeping his usual friendliness with little evidence of irritation or anger being displayed.

He himself does not see anyone as an enemy – it is extremely difficult to anger him and even if you hate him he will not respond in kind. This being a result of his own indifferent nature and his control over his emotions. If you have managed the nearly impossible task of angering and making him an enemy…escape the country and pray to your god. Due to his social standing and profession he will not physically eliminate you (well that depends) but with his wicked cunning and intelligence, he can find a way, plan it and execute it in a single evening, destroying you socially, mentally and in extreme cases physically without him dirtying his hands at all.

Though lately his hasn’t been actively pursuing any prospects, but due to his age, physical appearance and his extensive interaction with people his bound to have encounters with the opposite gender. He is not one with commitment – having an issue with getting close to people, fearing that his true nature will be discovered and also the fact that his never really been in love, per se. He cares for his mother and has even admired his father but his never truly experienced love, something he once again attributes to his indifference. He finds the concept truly interesting and has on occasion looked to experience it himself, with some unsuccessfulness. Even so, he is not afraid to take up Casanova’s mantle and play the heart strings of any interesting women.

I throw Alicia at you. Basically, she's an ex-mobster hitman from Chicago. Was raised by one of Chicago's most influential branches of the Mafia, worked her way up the chain, assassinated people for a while. Was asked to kill her friend's husband--was unable to, and alerted him and his wife to run. Dropped off the face of the earth, and relocated to New York. Recently began to steal things. A good detective may or may not be able to link the two. If nothing else, he can be on her trail for her strings of thefts, hacks, and other heists.

[marcus]

Yeah I can work with that. Marcus has a few contacts in the criminal underworld due to his undercover work and as such has heard various rumors of an assassin from chicago making home here in New York. Also with the recent string of crimes commited by one person his interest in said person his peaked quite a bit. So he follows her cases and combined with his contacts' information comes up with a theory that she might be the rumored assassin. Of course the best way for him to confirm it is to actual catch her. So its pretty much cat and mouse between the two, though I have the idea that when he does discover her real identity he might just use her as an unofficial partner of sorts in his pursuits of the russian mafia (Lukas and the gang). Let me now what you think and any ideas you might have.

[alicia]

That actually sounds like a really good idea. I'm down for it.

[NANA CROSS]

NANA & MARCUS

Oh gosh, I can definitely foresee that Nana will not like Marcus at all. He’s just the kind of nosy person she dislikes and more than that, he has the ability to look in the unsolved murder of her parents. Gosh, anyone who read those reports would know darn well that Nana was a witness but refused to say a word about what she saw or didn’t see. Yeah, I get the feeling that might perk his curiosity. >> Add to that the fact that she runs messages, sometimes drugs and money, for the Russian mafia….yep, Marcus is her worst nightmare. I don’t know how these two could possibly cross paths…but I guess a random run-in in the city would work fine. Anyhow, I can’t think of specifics right now, but it would sure as hell piss Nana off and make me laugh hysterically.

On another note, Hei is so hot~ <3
