Character Information
Summary
Eccentric and oft mercurial veteran of the shadows, Marionette lives and breathes the underworld of Seattle. Go to him when you need something, anything, doing.
Current Events
With few contacts and fewer remaining friends, Marionettes efforts against more esoteric threats have waned. He's ground himself to a standstill, and has taken a new direction. Joining up with an ex-SpecOp outfit in the barrens, he's looking to reforge a name for himself again and get some serious political clout using his past reputation. The past has come back to bite him, demonstrating he was never really free of the East.
Background
Born with the intent of furthering Russia's super soldier program, Marion was the subject of extensive genetic experimentation in facilities across Eastern Europe, but rejected his education while developing a deep distrust of his 'guardians'. He made good his escape in his late teens, assisted by opportunistic elements of the Vory. Initally grateful, he was used as a blunt tool due to his abilities and treated poorly. Developing a reputation for himself, he managed to get papers and fled europe, landing him in seattle as a foreign murderer-for-hire. Still persued by the russian government, Marion developed a deep-seated paranoia, seeded by his antisocial upbringing.
Traveling frequently, Marion has spent time living in a variety of locales from England to China, never staying in one place for too long. Maybe this time will be different, but he doubts it; the Vory are here, and trouble is never far behind.
Goals
Marions goals have changed a lot over time but currently they are roughly:
- Get out of the pocket of the Vory
- Come to terms with his nihilism
- Make new contacts in the up and coming running community
- Network within the UCAS political structure
Living Arrangements
Permanent Downtown Apartment - 6|5|4 - Mage sensitive cleaning service, Indoor arboretum, Garage, Drone Maids, Patron of the arts (Penumbra)

Paranoia: It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
Poor Self Control (Thrill Seeker): He's not scared of the monsters in the closet anymore.

Appearance
A slight man, Marion is at best reserved, and at worst twitchy and suspicious. UCC and Skilljack tabs pouring from the back of his head betray his form otherwise umblemished by chrome, along with the telltale shake of those cursed with either Parkinsons or Move-By-Wire. Seeing a firearm in his hands would confirm both the latter and the reason for his moniker, Marionette.
Clothing
As Marion has become more professional over time, he will be often seen in business attire; switching to very distinctive Full Body Armour when found in combat situations.
Given the often freezing temperatures in seattle, He'll often be more wrapped up, using AR fashion to style his cloak to local tastes.
Otherwise, a beautiful cloak and coat conceals layers of protective materials to help him blend in and keep unwanted signals at bay.
Matrix Persona
Often the standard Fairlight Caliban Icon, infrequently himself trailing cut strings.

- There are several videos on the trix of Marion engaging in a battle of the bands with SpinRad employees. These are totally fake, okay?
