Marcus Thomaston
Name: Marcus Thomaston
Age: 27
Birthplace: Hampshire, England
Sex: Male
Occupation: World famous model, also a photographer
Appearance: He stands at about 6'1" tall with a muscular build that is often emphasised by his clothing which ranges from jeans to slacks depending on what he is doing. Being a model he has a lot of access to clothing and has developed a taste for the expensive. His clothes are only brand name and upper end which means they fit his well toned body perfectly. His hair is a deep black which only accentuates his dark brown eyes that are flecked with specks of a lighter blue.
Were appearance; He's a large ebony leopard that is melanistic. But a large leopard isn't even close in size to a were tiger. His war form is massive, jet black and terrifying with black eyes that glint green.
Personality: With two older brothers and a twin sister Marcus learned to be fairly easy going at a young age and after watching what his older brother put his sister through became very protective of his twin. This has led to a want to protect people that seem weaker then he is. He is a smart bright man that knows his way around a boardroom just as much as he would the beaches of California (though he does prefer the beach to the boardroom). Sensible isn't exactly a term applied to Marcus - he is what many would consider a bit of a wild one with his impulsive actions that would land him parachuting out of a plane just because he felt like it. Sometimes he doesn't think things through but does it just for the experience. He isn't perfect though - his temper is there and could come out especially when it comes to someone and his sister. For the most part though he is very relaxed and calm. He is a charmer through and through.
Special abilities/talents: Marcus is an excellent photographer, he knows how to snowboard and surf.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Lycanthrope, wereleopard
Power(s): Born wereleopard
Preferred Prey: wild deer, fox
History:
Old families mean old wealth. Now, old wealth is usually trapped inside a large house. Yet, Morgan's family, an old family of wereleopards has stored it's wealth well. Unfortunately they'd invest in the best of the times. So slavery at one point, industrial mills at another. Mobile phones, CD's, Sky and a lot of money invested in motor cars. Fortunately her grandfather' could see the future and invested a lot of money in electronics and microchips. Now the family owns one of the fastest growing, highest grossing electronics company there is. When Marcus was born into the wereleopard family he wasn't alone as he was accompanied by his twin sister - a few minutes younger than him. This made them special. Morgan being the only girl in their family of 4 children was spoiled and doted upon. It never bothered Marcus that his sister got a fair deal of attention - he figured with all the
testosterone flying around she probably needed it more. Plus he was too laid back to get riled up about anything. It wasn't how his eldest brother, Martin, felt though. He was insanely jealous of the attention paid to Morgan and the fact that she was smarter then he was. Marcus watched silently as Martin became increasingly violent and mean with Morgana forcing the younger brother's hand to stand up for her or fight for her when he could. Martin was older though and he was bigger - even in wereform. It never stopped Marcus from trying though. In the end Martin was finally kicked out of the family after a particularly viscious attack on Morgan. The family dynamic settled down nicely after that. Morgan was happier, the edge Marcus had been developing faded away again and Martin didn't feel the need to compete so much without their older brother Martin causing squabbles all the time and their parents relaxed, especially their father.
By the time he was a young teen Marcus had all the girls at his school chasing after him and he didn't mind. Not even a little. It was this attention that led to his discovery by a local modeling agency that just happened to have a daughter at the same private school. From there Marcus's life took off with his modelling career that sent him all over the world to do different shoots and scenes with a variety of women. It was a man's dream come true. The only thing that daunted it was the twinge of guilt he felt everytime he looked at his father.
He knew the man was disappointed that he didn't take the family path and go into the business like Morgan. He had voiced his opinion a few times - that Marcus was wasting his life, that he was just in it for the money and the fame. Which Marcus always countered with asking him why he was in the business he was. Was it for the warm fuzzies he always got? Even though they disputed the facts Marcus still got along with his family - everyone but Martin who seemed out to get the rest of them whenever he could.
No one heard from the eldest brother for years... until Marcus came across him. It had been two years into his relationship with Nessa - they were engaged and they were happy. Marcus was finally starting to settle down when Martin re-entered his life and destroyed everything he had been working for. Late one night Martin found Nessa at a bar and after introducing himself proceeded to tell her everything at Marcus - what he was rather then who he was; he broke the secret of Marcus's were abilities. Horrified and shocked Nessa refused to believe it but Martin would not let it go until he got it through her mind that Marcus wasn't who she thought. How could he be? Watching her breakdown Martin took his time comforting and seducing the young woman until she fell willingly into his bed and out of Marcus's life.
Destroyed by the turn of fate he had never saw coming Marcus knew he could do two things - fight or leave. Having never been a fighter and too broken hearted to care Marcus hit the road determined to put it behind him.. but everything reminded him of her... of Martin and his betrayal. The pain threatened to swallow him - to eat him whole.... so he ran... right to Morgan in Mysteria.
Flaws:
Allergic - Marcus always has been allergic to peanuts. His reaction is a serious one causing his throat to close up making it impossible to breath. It can lead to anaphalatic shock and even death if he is not careful. This means he also has to make sure nothing he eats has eaten nuts recently.
Intolerance - Marcus can't stand any type of abuse be it physical or mental - especially when it is directed towards a woman. He figures it probably stems from his protective nature over his sister and what he has seen her go through as a child. He doesn't see a reason or a need to ever hit or ridicule a woman. Ever. He won't stand by and let it happen either. He will step in or step up not caring about the situation or what it involves.
Vengeance - When it comes to his brother all Marcus wants is vengenance. He has vowed that he will pay - Martin will pay for everything he has done and for taking Nessa from him. Whenever he thinks about his brother it sparks an intense anger. He doesn't care how he does it, he doesn't care if he gets hurt in the process but he will have his revenge on the bastard.
Merits:
Entertainment Ties - Being a highly renowned model has it's perks. It's given Marcus a way into the world of celebrities where he can schmooze and charm the best and the worst of them. He has ties in the modelling world and knows quite a few in high places. He also has a slew of models that he knows - single and not single.
Self-Confidant - How could he not be? The world tells him he's beautiful, whose he to argue? He's hot and he knows it. Don't hate cause he's beautiful
Luck - Marcus has always seemed to have luck on his side. A lot more then the average person he seems to be in the right place at the right time, or get the gig he's wanted or the girl but when bad luck hits it hits hard. Thankfully he's learning to run from it.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Preferred PB (played-by): Eddie Cibrian
