Age & Date of Birth: 17 years old, November 29th ♐
Gender: Male
Class: Slums
Occupation: Delivery boy (ferries drugs, Magix, and other various contraband throughout Novus)
Affiliation: Scavenger (never used Magix prior to his NUIP destruction and therefore cannot use any)
Genetic Modifications: Get back to me on this one lol
Unique Tech: Also get back to me on this one.
Appearance: HERE, HAVE A REALLY REALLY OLD PIC TW: (CENSORED) ANIMAL DEATH AND BLOOD, he’s gonna get a redesign/update but this was the original version
Personality: I GOTTA WRITE THIS SHIT OUT LATER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I’M LAZY, but basically he’s got a rebellious streak in him despite being in a position that really doesn’t allow for it (basically, poor ol' Marly gets punished... a lot). He’s also mute and incredibly awkward around people, mostly because he isn’t used to others treating him well. He’s only ever known orders and punishment. If he shows anyone kindness, it's in the most aggressive and gruff way possible. Marlo really dislikes violence as well and will do whatever it takes to avoid it, even if it means taking a beating without defending himself. Though he lacks the ability to speak, he's managed to teach himself reading after some of the other kids showed him a basic understanding. He'll usually eat up any kind of literature given to him, regardless of quality. However, he cannot sign, and has to communicate solely through charades and writing.
Background: Marlo was the second child born into his family and he was able to escape any sort of time in the Slums, at least originally. His father made a lucky break before his birth, where after figuring out the trade of less than legal materials, he formed a black market ring that skyrocketed his profits. Before Marlo was even old enough to remember his first few memories, he now sat in the lap of luxury at the top of Novian life. He may as well have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
…Until his father’s "business" came back to haunt him. His father dealt primarily in Magix once reaching (a.k.a. bought his way into) the High Class, and had a monopoly on distributing legitimate government-brand Magix down to the Slums. However, he became too greedy and attempted to shell out knockoffs while keeping the same price tag, only to be swiftly caught once the quality took a nosedive. When angry clientele eventually stormed his Upper Class home, Marlo was taken as ransom for all of the money owed. When his parents failed to deliver, he became the payment instead. His NUIP was destroyed, along with all hopes of being able to track him down, and was thus spirited away into the lowest ring of Novus to be sold and used for labor.
It was here he was given the name Marlo, as Sterling was now a thing of the past to forget. He made (or was rather forced to make) his living as a delivery boy, ferrying illegal goods back and forth and collecting the payment alongside many other children. [more to come because it’s like 4 AM right now blah blah blahhhhh]
I PROMISE THIS CHARACTER WILL STICK. IT’S NOT A JOKE PROFILE LIKE EZRA LOL
