Appearance:
The appearance of Marcus is exactly as seen in the picture above, well, except the two blades which are attached to the shoes of the man on the picture. At first sight he does not seem to look like an Arrancar, due to the fact that he seems to be missing an Hollow hole and the remaining of his Hollow mask. But, if someone would take a close look, he would notice the bones cowering his upper chest area. Those bones are his Hollow mask remaining. But, the bones which are cowering his chest are only a part of his actual Hollow mask remaining, which is located on his neck. On his neck, the bones take the appearance of an tigers bone jaw. Between his neck area and his chest, his hollow hole is located. The areas where his Hollow hole and mask are located is covered by a red scarf. This scarf is quite long, and a bit troublesome at some times. While in a battle, with his scarf, Marcus is placed into a disadvantage. Since his enemy can just pull it and pull Marcus with it. But, that is why, when in a battle, he always takes the scarf off.

Other than the features explained above, there is nothing else about his appearance, that it isn't shown in the picture. The eyes of Marcus are light green, well, a bit bluish as well. To be more accurate, you could say that the color of his eyes is a mixture of blue and green. His hair is light brown, short and spiky. Quite a weird hairstyle he has. The appearance of his face is quite youthful an fresh, by looking at his face, you would not expect to see the face of an person who killed so many others trough his life. His face looks more like the face of an human, making it even hard to believe that he is an Arrancar actually. As for the clothes, well, they are usually just like the clothes which any Espada has on them, simple white robes. But, underneath them, he has the clothes which are shown on the pictures. The color of his shirt and pants is a mixture of brown and dark red. As for his shoes, well, he has boots on him all the time. His shirt even covers his hands, so even when he has his Espada robes on, it will always be visible. Of course, the sleeves can be removed. But, Marcus only removes them during a battle.

Personality:
Marcus is a calm and always relaxed looking Arrancar. He rarely lets his emotions control him. Loyalty is the thing of which he cares a lot, so if he is loyal to someone, that someone can except an Arrancar who will give his life to protect them from harm. He can never be forced to do anything, unless he wants to though, so his higher ups always have an issue with that part of his personality. Of course, there are some other members of the Espada who he respects, and who he listens and obeys with no questions asked. Due to his hard and long training, Marcus thinks of himself as a strong person and strong Arrancar, thus becoming hardly afraid of anything. Well, there are still things of which he is afraid. Even if he is afraid of something, he will never show fear in front of other people. Example of his fear are snakes, which he hates the most, due to their slimy and devil like appearance. The only thing that can make him mad is the death of a loved one, nothing else. When he gets mad, he will enter a frenzy, from which he would hardly come out. While in this strange state, he attacks his foes and uses reiatsu recklessly, leaving a lot of open spots for his opponent to make a counter attack. That is one of the reasons why he always keeps his friends and loved ones close to him and protects them at all cause. While in this state, nobody can recognize him, he becomes a completely different person.

Other than the things mentioned before, there is not much things to add. But, well, there is one thing which makes him different than other of his kind. Unlike other Arrancar, he has no hate towards Shinigami, even though they are the killers of his kind. The reason for that is the fact that he only saw a Shinigami once in person. At that time, one of his fellow Arrancar was having a fight with an intruder, so Marcus was able to observe most of the skills which the Shinigami had. Later on, he heard that all Shinigami have similar abilities and the only things which differ them are their Zanpaktou and their level of power. Of course, the Shinigami who he was fighting his companion defeated the other Arrancar, but he did not kill him. Instead, he left back to Soul Society. That is why he does not consider all Shinigami evil, only those who attack him and his friends. Killing someone, that is not a problem to him. Marcus killed a lot of people during his life as a human and he devoured and killed even more other Hollow during the time when he was an Adjuchas and a Gillian. Of course, at that time he had to kill others in order to survive. But, even after evolving into the last stage of the Hollow evolution, he still continued feeding. You could say that he has a hunger for power. Becoming an Arrancar gave him more power, but, he need more.

Probably, till the end of his life, he will continue to search for power. That will be a quest which will never end.


Defining Characteristics: Marcus is a quite special Arrancar. Unlike others of his kind he is not a bloodthirsty beast with an urge to kill and devour anyone and anything which walks. Nope, instead, he only fights those who attack him first or if he thinks of them as interesting.
Specialties: Knowledge of anatomy.
Fighting type: Close Combatant

History/Background:
Marcus was born in a small village, in Italy. His village was very small, and it was surrounded by tall mountains, and large rivers. All people in that village were pour, and most of them had no food, or water. The village was ruled by a fat government official. He kept all food and money for himself, not giving anything to the villagers, and their families. Marcuses parents were pour farmers, who served that fat man, and lived in dirt. Their house was small, and they had enough supplies, just barely to survive.After some time, the government official who ruled the land decided to make his own personal army. But, he knew that nobody from that village was strong enough to become a soldier, or ready to help him. So, he decided to do something else. Knowing how the place was filled with little kids, he decided to take all of them, and raise them as his personal soldiers. For that, he had a couple of older knights who worked for him. They were once royal knights in the Vatican, but now they were outcasts. Those two would do anything for a good pay, so that would explain why were they working for him. The attack was set up to happen over the night, while everyone was sleeping. During that night, the young Marcus was somewhat 7 years old, sleeping with his parents. While his gentle blue eyes were closed, an explosion occurred in the near by area, waking up everyone in the village. When his parents heard this, the quickly woke up, dressing up themselves and their child.

At the moment, they were only thinking about the safety of their son, not concerning about their lives. Marcus was their priority, so they quickly dressed him up, placing him in his chair so they could tell him something. After a few minutes, the whole family came trough the door of their hose, running towards the forest. As they were running, they could see people being attacked by the forces of the government official, they were everywhere. Knowing that they did not have a chance to escape, the parents of the young Marcus sent their soon alone into the woods, with the instructions where to go. At that time, they stayed behind, stopping the bad guys to get near their soon. Without taking any seconds to look back, Marcus entered the forest, disappearing out of sight. After leaving the village, the young boy thought that his parents were dead, killed in the attack. Even so, he still hoped that they were still alive, even though that was not possible. The instructions given to the young boy were about an old house in the mountains, and how to reach it. According to his parents, this was the place where his parents lived with his grandparents, a long time ago. Maybe they were still alive, so he hoped to find them and live there from now on. But, the reality was quite different. After reaching that house, he found the house empty, with nobody there. No food, no water, only clothes and some strange looking swords. According to his parents, Marcuses grandfather used to be a knight of the French Empire, and those were his swords. That was the moment when he decided to become a knight as well. But, first he needed to train.

During the time after the death of his parents, the young Marcus was crushed by this tragic. He used to think how his life was quite perfect. But now, he was thinking will he even survive the night. The nights at that land were so cold and scary. For a young boy like himself, living in a dark and empty house, alone, it was quite frightening. He hopped that all of it was some kind of dream and that he will wake up soon, so he could hug his parents and other people who he knew from the village. But, nothing was happening, he was not waking up. To survive in this harsh times, the young Marcus had to hunt for food and search the land for water. The soldiers took all food and water from the village, leaving him nothing. He could not rely on anyone except himself, that was a fact which he made his mot at moments like this. Even so, Marcus still hopped to find someone out there, just so he could have someone to talk with. Eventually, he started forgetting how to say some words, even the ability of speech was leaving him. Noticing this, Marcus got an idea how to prevent this. By using a knife which he found in the former house of his parents, the young boy made a dummy out of the woods and clothes which he found. After it was finished, he started talking to it, just so he could remember how to do it. With that problem solved, the young man only had one more problem to solve. That was, getting food and water supply. At first he thought how he should get food by picking berries and mushrooms from the forest. But then, when he started that, the young boy remembered how some of this plants were dangerous. Some of them were poisonous, so he could not just pick them up and eat them, some other ways had to be found. Eventually, he found a small lake near the area in which he was, somewhat in the valley bellow the mountain. In it he found supplies of water and lots of fish swimming in it. So, now that he solve all of the main problems, training could start.

With his training in progress, the young boy started to grow up. reaching the age of 9. During the time which he spent there, Marcus rebuilt the house of his grandfather and grandmother, fixing everything out side and in side. This included the roof top, which was broken on some places, so rain drops were falling in. After fixing that, he used one of the swords which he found to cut some woods around the hose, making a bad in which he could sleep instead of sleeping on the floor. With that done, he was able to move into the house, staying only in the living room, the only place which could be locked from the inside. The house was quite large, it had two floors, together with a basement. The living room was connected with the door which led outside and with the rest of the house. There were 4 doors leading into it, all of them could be locked, so Marcus used to do that, just in case a wild animal approached the house. Other than fixing up the house for living in there, Marcus used to practice with the swords three hours per day, gaining some impressive skills in that area. Not only that, he found a couple of letters which his grandfather left behind. Among them, he found an odd looking book. When he checked who was the author, Marcus found out that it was his grandfather who wrote that book. In it, his grandfathers whole story was written, all about how he became a knight and how his life was difficult. After reading that book, a tear fell out of his eye, the story was quite sad and it reminded Marcus of his parents. So, eventually, the little boy decided to become a knight as well. He planned to go all the way to Jerusalem, and join the Crusaders, which were being gathered there in order to fight the Turks.

To reach Jerusalem, which was actually in Asia, the young man had a long way in front of him. Not only that, the path was quite difficult due to the fact that he had to cross the ocean in order to reach the main land. In order to do that he needed money in order to board a ship which went there But, the young boy did not have any money, he had to earn it somehow. To do that, he had no other options that staling the money from someone. The first person which he came across was an old fat rich guy, who was going around saying how rich he was. Knowing how people like him are ruthless and evil, Marcus decided to rob him. Judging by the fact that he had two guards, it was not supposed to be easy, but the young boy did not have any other choices. A few hours later, the young boy could be walking trough the streets of the town, eating some kind of fruits. The outcome of the battle seemed to be long decided, with Marcus the winner. With money gained from the rich guy, he was now able to board a boat which went directly to Jerusalem. There he found a lot of people leaving their home land due to the fight between war lords over power. Sad after hearing out some of their stories, the young boy set on one of the empty spaces, blacking out into a deep slumber. When he woke up, Marcus found himself in the beautiful Asia.

A few years later, Marcus could be seen in a sword duel. He was fighting a Crusader from England, with the winner getting the sword and the armor of the other one. Well, he only had his two old and rusty swords, which were not even worth anything. But, with his cocky attitude, the other man accepted his challenge, thinking how he will win this fight with no problems. But, he lost actually. Not only that, Marcus humiliated him quite badly, so he was forced to leave the Crusaders. In his place, Marcus was assigned. That really was a joyful day for the young man, who was in his twenties at that point. Finally, his dream came true, he managed to continue his grandfathers legacy. Though, now that he became a Crusader, his life did got a lot more complicated. In order to actually get a chance to fight in the war against the Turkish Empire, he had to pass trough basic training, which included practical combat training and tactical training. All of them were forced to know a great deal of information about their enemy, in case of getting captured or lost in the enemy land. The training was harsh and Marcus did wanted to quit a lot of times, but, he kept on going. Eventually, he passed all of his training. He wasn't much of an tactical type of person, but, he was skilled in close combat. Due to that, he was never destined to reach a high commanding position, he was doomed to stay as a footmen till the war ends or till he dies in the war. Getting retired, well, Crusaders never lived long enough to retire. The ones who were older, they were now in command.

One day, the Turkish Empire attacked Jerusalem, while Marcus was in it training. Even though they prepared for this a while, the Crusaders were still bound to lose, due to the fact that the Turks outnumbered them. Eventually, the battle was over, with the win for the Turkish Empire. And so Jerusalem was theirs again. Among the people who died, the name of the young Marcus was mentioned. He was killed in the initial stage of the attack, hit by an arrow fired of by the enemy archers. The arrow, impaled Marcus trough his neck, where he now has his Hollow hole. He woke up confused, not sure what happened. But, he was not the only one. Around him numerous souls appeared, all wandering what happened. But then, out of a sudden, an enormous Hollow appeared. This Hollow had some resemblance to an tiger, it shocked and surprised everyone who was there, all of the pulses started to run away. As for Marcus, he tried to take a sword out of the ground and fight this creature, but he failed. Instead, the Hollow captured him and it devoured him. It seemed as if it was all over for Marcus now. But, then, something happened. Out of a sudden, Marcus took control, so he was now the Hollow, who started eating others right away. But, as he started to evolve the scene changed, as he was sent to Hueco Mundo. There, he found himself wandering around the Forest of Menos. Suddenly, a mass fight started, as different Hollows started to devour other Hollows. Marcus was drawn into this fight as well, he attacked a Hollow who missed a part of his head, a wound which he gained from a Hollow who he devoured a few moments ago. In his wounded state, Marcus easily defeated him and started to devour him. But then, all of the Hollows there transformed into a Menos Grande, an Gillian.

Due to an unknown reason, the mask of the Gillian which formed was a bit different from the masks of other Gillian there. The reason for that was Marcus, who took control even over this new body. He was still a mindless Gillian. But, unlike others of his kind, he had a bit of an personality of his own, so he started eating other Gillian and any other Hollow who was in his way. Since now he had the ability to use Cero, the Hollows which were not Menos class were easy to beat and to devour. Soon enough, his transformation was about to start. But, a moment before he transformed further, Marcus reached the end of the Forest of Menos. So, when he transformed into an Adjuchas, he was able to leave the Forest of Menos, going to the surface. Now that he was an Adjuchas, his intelligence was back and he gained more powers than before. Even so, he had to devour more Hollows of his kind in order to stay alive, his hunger was quite large. At moments when he could not find anyone to devour, Marcus got an urge to devour some parts of himself, with his mask being first on the menu. At one of those moments, he actually decided to do it. With a punch to his own face, he cracked his mask. Then, by grabbing it and pulling as hard as he could, large chunk of his Hollow Mask was removed. At that moment, the evolution started. He did not evolve into the next stage of the Hollow Evolution, instead, he now became a different creature, known as Arrancar. Quite shocked he was then, as his human form was regained once more, with more mover than he could ever imagine.

After the transformation, Marcus wandered the desert, until he found the Primera Espada, who then recruited him. Did he managed to evolve even further or not, well, that is a mystery. But, it is known however that till today, Marcus never left Huceo Mundo, not even once.

OOC: Since I have no idea which Rank will I get, the last part is made out of only a couple sentences.

Role-play Sample:
Outside the Village Hidden in the Snow, endless snow cowered the mountains and all of the surrounding area. The weather there was extremely cold and the temperatures were extremely low, a regular human would have troubles surviving in a area like this, without really warm clothes. But, the same was even for shinobi, even they couldn't survive out here without some special kind of ability or warm clothes. That is way it was so weird that out of a sudden a snow monster appeared and started attacking people. Same was with an old man coming here and vanishing out of a sudden, without a trace. Those two mysteries were the reason why a young man from Kirigakure no Sato come here into this cold and frozen area. He was so annoyed with this cold area, but, he had to come here. The old man who vanished was his uncle, who he had to find, since his parents made him do it. Living with parents was such a troublesome thing for a young twenty year old man, even though he was already an adult, he had to listen to them and do whatever did they wanted. Since his uncle stopped sending mail to them, they got worried, so Marcus had to come to the Land of Snow and see what happened. The people there were not even sure did he even vanish, or what happened to him, there was a chance that he was well, somewhere in one of the other villages which were scattered all over the Land of Snow. Village Hidden in the Snow was the only famous one, due to it's shinobi strength. But, there were plenty more small towns and villages around., which were normal villages who did not posses any shinobi forces. Those kind of villages were places for farmers and peaceful families, who lived alone with no influence from the shinobi world. There was a large chance that the uncle of the young Marcus was in one of those villages, so no wander that he couldn't send any mail, since those villages were not connected with any other village. And so, the young man started his travel.

From the Village Hidden in the Snow, the young man entered the Mountains trough the Northern gates, trough which his uncle passed right before he disappeared. So, he decided to start there first. On him, in order to survive the harsh weather conditions, he had a really thick coat over his clothes, over which he had his mission clothes. So, you could say, he had three layers of clothes on himself. Due to that, he was protected from the cold. But, even with all those clothes, it was still cold, due to the fact that his mission clothes and his regular clothes were not so thick. And so, not even prepared for what was coming, Marcus kept his cool and he continued towards the nearest town or village. As he walked, the young man suddenly got a strange feeling that someone was watching him. No matter how hard he tried, this feeling would not go away, so he decided to check it out. Out of a sudden Marcus stopped walking. Slowly, he started looking around, searching for any sign. If nobody was there, there should not be any signs of disturbance. But, if someone was there, some kind of sign should be there, some evidence. Just as he thought, there were no evidence of anyone being anywhere near him, nor that anyone passed trough this parts in a long time. Now that he was sure about it, Marcus continued with his walk. But, just to be on the safe side, he prepared a defensive mechanism, by performing a set of simple hand seals. Those hand seals he formed under his clothes, so even if someone was watching him, they could not have seen this hand seals. And, so he continued walking, looking around to see if he was close to any village or town, or not. But, in a forest cowered by snow everywhere, visibility was not so good. Because of the low visibility, what followed, surprised Marcus so he had no chance of evading it, quite a stealth attack it was. Out of a sudden, from the ground beneath and around Marcus, Ice Spikes sprouted out, impaling the young man from different angles. In just a few seconds, his whole body had holes all over it, with Ice Spikes coming out from different parts of the body of the young man.

Was Marcus dead? Or was he still alive? The answer will be revealed soon.

Done.

Since your character hasn't seen a Shinigami "in person", it'd be accurate to state he is unaware of their abilities; such as Kido ... even though he has heard about 'em, yes?

No vasto lorde for you.

When you die, you aren't "reborn" as a hollow. Your pulse goes on to live, till a Shinigami finds you and performs the soul burial on you or you get eaten by a hollow; thus transforming you into a hollow.

. . . Anyway, no vasto lorde for you.

I'd like to mention that you said that your hollow hole is located on the lower part of your chest, and "cowers" a part of his biceps? I'm assuming you mention covers, and also, your Bicep is the muscle on your upper arm. Not on your lower chest.

Fixed everything.

If he heard of them, how can he be unaware of them? o.o

Thats a bit contradictory. He was told stories about them and he knows pretty much everything about them. But, since he never met them, he does not hate them nor does he think that all of them are enemies.

I said unaware of their abilities not their existence you dolt. No, he does NOT know everything about them. He only knows of their existence and that's ALL.

Why does this even matter?

He could have heard stories about their abilities as well smartypants, so you are wrong there.

Btw, how do you know what he knows and what he does not know? I wrote the application, not you, and I am not breaking any rules here.

I am not trying to be rude or anything, but please stop being such a douche. I don't like being insulted.

Or... everyone stop on the hating, and Marcus, just go with your sheet, edit, and perhaps there won't be the hating any longer when all of these complications are over.

I guess your right Dandy.

Anyways, I moved the part where he never saw a Shinigami, so that this whole mess ends already.

1. I don't like it.

2. I really wish you hadn't stated things in your personality that should be in your history.

3. After all the Bickering and what not....

4. APPROVED.

5. It is not my place to Approve you as an Espada.

6. That privilege will be given onto you by the Leader of the Arrancar.

7. I'm bored of typing now.

Bump for the Primera Espada.

Stamped

Thankies.

So, can an Admin please place this into the Approved Section and add me into the Espada group?
