CIVILIAN

Marcus is a car mechanic born and bred. Raised by his father who was a mechanic himself Marcus had taken up his dad's choice of career fixing cars, motorbikes, and the like for a living.

Personality

There's two parts of Marcus. The part of him that he wants people to see, and the part of him he keeps hidden. On the outside Marcus is your average downer. He's negative almost all the time, he always has something to say to rain on your parade. To add to that he seems very cynical having a detached and cold view on the truth of the world. He's a man who doesn't see the good in people first. And instead only see's the worst in someone until they prove otherwise. Despite his depressing take on life he's not always like this.

At least not in public.

Behind closed doors Marcus is less rigid and more mellow. He shows a more relaxed persona compared to his agitated personality he has around others, he can even be called "friendly" but that would be stretching it at times. Though most of his personality doesn't change such as his core emotions he's shown to be a bit more open to those he trusts and when outside of the public eye. He built a wall around himself growing up due to his childhood and thus has a hard time trusting others. But hasn't given up hope on humanity yet. At times he feels older than he is and feels tired and stressed. Often adding to his crabby mood.

But other times he feels calm and serene especially when getting a hold of a good piece of literature to read. In public he may seem like a person who's day is constantly ruined from your presence but it's only a protective mechanism to save him from jumping into a friendship and regretting it later. He's a cautious and quiet young man who has a hard time trusting strangers, but really is a good person underneath it all. Now if he could just find someone who can prove that not all people are bad...

History

When people ask Marcus about his past he simply replies with: "I was born to a car mechanic and a teacher, now leave me alone." While this is true there's more to his story than his short and sweet answer. Marcus Danton was born on April 1st, April Fools, though his birth was no joke. He came into this world to his mother Anne, a elementary teacher with little difficulty.

His parents couldn't be prouder of having such a healthy son. And for the first few years of his life things were normal. He seemed to pay extra attention to his dad as he was fascinated by his job. His parents often joked he was born with a wrench in one hand and a screwdriver in the other. It was no shock to his parents when they saw how quickly he took to tinkering with machines. By the time he was ten his dad let him start fixing some small things on a car.

And by the time he was twelve he was allowed to work on a car alone. But his life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. With dealing with his sexuality and his father becoming more harsh on him he found himself retreating to books. You see due to a recent injury his father was unable to do much anymore, his father in his anger and grief of losing his family run business started pushing it all on his son. Wanting him to takeover the car shop one day.

...The thing was, Marcus had no desire to take up his family's business. He had bigger dreams of working on the best cars in the world. Not some old jalopies and pickup trucks. He wanted to be a mechanic that every star and celebrity would go to for him to fix or tune up their vehicle, not living his life here in the sticks. The fighting with his father only got worse and with his dad taking to drinking his mother ended up leaving them as well. Not able to stand the arguing and his husband's changed ways. This was not the an she married... Finally at the age of sixteen Marcus had enough. His dad took it too far by making the first punch. Thoroughly pissed he packed his belongings and left his father who was yelling at him to comeback.

He never looked back once.

He made his was to LA in hopes of starting his career. But was sorely disappointed to find people weren't like he expected. Already having a jaded view on the world from his own experiences back home, his walls only built up higher when he found that he couldn't trust anyone either. Betrayed by a person who he thought he could call a "friend" he found himself becoming more bitter and reclusive as time went on. Eventually at the age twenty he came across a small car shop. Knowing that he needed the money and they were hiring he joined up and started making due with what he had. Now at twenty-two years old he's STILL working at the old car shop and isn't any closer to his dream...
