Background
Born in San Francisco, California in 2062, Marcus Yoshimura would be the fourth child of five - the second son - of Hideo and Emily Yoshimura. His childhood was relatively well, with his father being part of a mercenary company and his mother working as a seamstress. While not always around, his father would make sure to shower both his wife and his children in love, hoping to keep them safe and instill them with a sense of values he himself wish he'd learned when he was their age. Otherwise the majority of child raising would be placed upon his mother. She would say it wasn't difficult, yet the bags under her eyes betrayed those words. Still, she possessed great patience and resolve, teaching the children what she could as they grew.
Four days before his seventh birthday, Marcus's life would change. He would awaken, and soon be enrolled in courses and programs designed to educate him on what it meant to be an Adept. His father was thrilled, though wary, while his mother seemed almost saddened by it. It was not that they feared or hated him, but rather that they were worried for his future. A couple calls and within the week his aunt on his father's side would show up. She, like him, was an adept. And though it was clear that his father and aunt were not always on the same foot, he trusted her enough to teach his own flesh and blood what the schools wouldn't or couldn't.
It was difficult. Rather than baby him and him not truly understanding what it meant to be what he was, she trained him strictly and without much leniency. That wasn't to say he never had a day off or that she didn't care for his health physical or otherwise. If he was sick, she'd force him to stay in bed. If he had a bad day, she took him out for ice cream or spent time playing video games to help cheer him up. Marcus learned how to fight, how to hold back in a fight, and how to truly "feel" as a mundane couldn't. He also learned how to use his powers. When he eventually graduated school, she had decided it was about time for her to pack up and go elsewhere. The sedentary lifestyle was never much her scene, and she originally only did this because her little brother asked. With Marcus being more or less finished with his training, it seemed good a time as any.
Upon reaching maturity, much to the chagrin of his parents, he'd decided to enter into military service. While the rest of his siblings seemed more than comfortable to stay in the civilian lifestyle, it did not give Marcus the sense of belonging that he had hoped for. So off he went as well, leaving the state and joining the UCAS Armed Forces. Hideo blamed his sister for this, even if he knew it likely wasn't all her fault.
W.I.P
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Infected (Vampire): A blessing and a curse.
Negative
Day Job (Arcane Eye PI): Though I can never truly pay him back, I am truly grateful to Manashoe for giving me another life and allowing me to work for him.
Flashbacks, Insomnia: Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I see my comrades all over again. In that brief encounter. Their blood. The smell of iron. The smell of fear. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
Wanted (UCAS - 50,000 Nuyen): When it came out I was infected, I fled in fear of what I was, and what they might do to me.
