Character Information

Summary

Marco just turned 18, enlisted in the military (UCAS Army), used to live with his parents in Manhattan, New York City. He's a part-time librarian, student attending college to study for his English litrature, poetry, and Astral Phenomena Magic. His inspiration came from magicians and mages, but more importantly, music & acting. Pursuing in search for fame and fortune.

Although his dreams soon turned into a nightmare when he was drafted (pre-selected) against his will and fought in the tropical forests of Gureilla warfare. After the end of The Aztlan War, Marco decided to move in Seattle somewhere in Tacoma wanting a new fresh start. His physique is strong, but his will may have scarred him for life. His hopes of living his new life will be different. Although like The Sixth World, in this dangerous place, his life came to an unfortunate demise.

Goals

 ▶ Find the SURGE reptile & Ork mercs who tried to kill him

 ▶ Uncover the truth from his Identity & former-self 

 ▶ Retrieve the silver briefcase & deliver to the Aztec corp

 ▶ Learn and develop his mystic powers to understand the nature of his magic

Background

Marco has little to no recollection of who he is- or where'd he come from. All he can remember was the car crash, and drowned underwater. Except, he remembers clearly being executed by a group of orcs and Shadowrunner mercs accompanied by a surge reptile wearing a fancy suit, and eventually he was shot in the head on the spot, leaving him for dead. Later by some miracle, he was saved by a group of Shadowrunner mercs and brought him in only to discover his package is stolen. Everyone blamed the courier for losing it (not because of him, but because of his new boss Matt Stryker decided to dock everyone's pay).

Eventually he orders everyone to take him to go see Sturges, did his best to patch the young kid up to remove fragments of what's left of his brains and skull. Marco made it in a full recovery. Sturges laughed at him when he asked "what were you doing in the dumpster breeder?" Marco can barely think straight. He can only remember he was carrying a silver briefcase he smuggled into the city. His killers took something from him, but what's puzzling is his strange tattoo on his right shoulder. A butterfly. And what's more very strange is his estrange girlfriend Keora- a surge pucca half human/half goat, knows Marco well since elementary school. Except, his newfound girlfriend was killed in a car accident and saw her drowned- like him. Due to his lack of memory loss he can only remember who he is (or... who he was). His mana barely recovers slowly, and he can feel he's weightless. The problem is- he knows nothing about magic, but his knowledge still retains small fragments from his past life. His pursuit to find the man who killed him, and discover his past lies in the shadows. He calls himself, Max Pain.

In Character Information

"The fall, I don't want to go there. It's the last place I'll remember, but that’s where I’ll always end up anyway. Only, its not me talking to the- fallen angel, but someone who looks part down to the finest detail, excpet he's evil. I'm emerges from the shadows; watching it all unfold levitating in mid-gravity. Falling into a labyrinth hole, I was surrounded by people, and beasts. The darkest place swirls around like a string of ball divided into large fragments moving in opposite directions. Separated in rows like rubix cylinders, the labyrinth hole moves in clockwise, and counterclockwise. And then, I sees a bright-lilly lit beacon of a silhouette of a young woman- with long hair and angel wings. Although my vision was too blurred to see until I got closer. Then the woman speaks, and says: "Max, my sweet precious boy. Come hither, and join me my beloved. We can finally be together forever, and let us transcend you and I.” She's waiting for me. I can clearly see its shadow as my eyes are focused on her. And if something goes wrong, not me, but my double.

He stares at this and smirks like it was the funniest thing he ever heard. Then everyone knew where I was. They turn around to stare at me with cold eyes: "The flesh... The flesh... The flesh... Its coming... Its coming..." . I got closer with a clear picture in my head, but she was not what I thought she was. She had bat-like wings with large pointy ears, non-human. Her large shape-like devil horns in 3 or 4 inches in height. Her bright, yellow lit eyes are open. She spreads apart lifting her arms up as if she's ready to give me a welcome hug. Her sharp claws caught my eye. I knew that moment of where I was going, and I was in it for the long ride. She- was The Flesh, of a Fallen Angel. Then the Oni demon speaks to me calmly, and said: "The Flesh of Fallen Angels." I have no idea what that means... And that's where I always end up screaming. The brightest light shines my skin burning into ashes. Revealing ruined bones. Memories tear apart my soul: consuming an endlessly burning fire. And then, I awakened."
