Overall Personality: Markus is a pretty big softy, something most fail to notice at first glance, he doesn't generally wish to pick a fight and tries to get along with everyone, his rather wide range of interests help him with this but at the end of the day it's hard to get past the fact that he is a fighter. He himself was never talented enough to play an instrument and while he may have had the potential to become an intellectual it has always gone unnoticed in the past, he has always received praise for his ability to learn during any martial arts class and this lead him to take up weight lifting as soon as he turned 16 as this became his way of expressing himself.
While he was never a straight A student he was always able to grasp the concepts to some degree and has a habit of going back into his books and rereading old material he felt he was unable to understand. His love for music is not uncommon for most people but it is further fueled by his own inability to play an instrument, to some degree he is a bit jealous of people who are capable of playing but looking past this he respects their own dedication. A balanced person who rarely loses his cool he wishes to do more to aid against the Grimm threat and while he believes the long term solution is in studying them he feels his own abilities are more suited for the short term solution of slaying the beasts.

Item 1:
- Spoiler:
Markus utilizes the Halberd as his weapon of choice, a dangerous melee weapon itself to overcome with a length of 71" is only made worse in his hands with a wingspan of 76". A spike mounted to the tip allows for a stabbing attack, and an axe blade on the front to allow for a slashing attack.
- Spoiler:
While Markus seems like a likely fit into the role of a tank he does not make use of big bulky armor, this lighter armor allows him to be more mobile when facing other larger opponents in keeping his distance to effectively attack while he relies more on his strength when facing smaller opponents if they are capable of closing the gap.
- History:
- Markus was born into a fairly normal family with his father working as a Hunter, as his father would come and go often without warning his mother had made the division to stay at home and ensure the kids were looked after. He had two older brothers and like him both were larger in stature. When he turned ten years old he was allowed to take part in martial arts classes as his brothers did, believing this would allow them the chance to learn discipline, create a work ethic, and give them an outlet. While it did manage to do that this also meant the boys were training with each other back home and it lead to some pretty interesting situations along the way.
Of the three brothers, he would be considered the "good one" or the least rowdy anyway, while he did try to avoid it his brothers did manage to get him dragged into some trouble from time to time, like his brothers he enjoys a good fight and for them they often walked away with greater respect and often a new friend for their trouble but that hardly made the whole thing any more acceptable to most of the authorities. He was also guilty of sometimes bailing them out of trouble before things had gotten too out of control, in this sense you could likely call him their balance while growing up, he understood his brothers perfectly and while he agreed with them he was usually able to see that there was a time and a place for everything.
It was during his early teens when his brothers left for their own training to become Hunters that he was able to settle down, his troubles with school seemed to lessen and his grades increased, this was complimented by the fact that he now only rarely got into fights at school. This time aware from his brothers mean he had more time to himself and was when he really started to learn about music and academics. While he was able to pick up his academics with relative ease he wasn't able to do the same with learning to play music and he would eventually decide dropping the whole idea early would be better then continuing to be bad a it and stick with just listening to music.
Now entering his own training to become a Hunter he had picked up a few rumors regarding his brothers and how while both have managed to become Hunters they did so while leaving their own personal trail of destruction in their wake, to some degree these were storied he had heard in the past but in a much lighter tone and with some critical details missing. Now as he makes his own way he anticipates that he will have to work with a less then stellar first impression from some of the teachers once they catch his last name.
- RP Sample:
- Markus walked the halls to the school and glanced around to try to sort himself out as he wasn't really sure where he was going, it was his first day after all. While he walked the halls he couldn't help but notice the odd glances he was receiving, he assumed was likely pretty lost at this point and had wondered somewhere he shouldn't have but no one was likely to step up and tell him, some people have told him he looked a bit intimidating in the past but he could never really sort out why that was. Snapped back from his thought he had noticed that things looked familiar and that was likely bad since hadn't been here long enough for that, he must be walking in circles he guessed to himself.
He glanced around looking for someone who didn't appear busy, most seemed to be caught up in some conversation already but he noticed a small girl who didn't seem to be busy with anything, he had considered that it might see a bit weird for her but he had decided that he need to make a choice and it was better then wondering around in circles. "Excuse me. I was wondering if you could tell me where I am, or where I should be going, I'm sill new here." He said as he walked up to the girl, he kept a pretty good distance out of her personal space and just hoped he wouldn't frighten her out of whatever it was she was doing here herself.
