Oh look, I got a CS up earlier than expected. Do tell me if there's a problem. [hider=CS] Name: Markus Goethe Gender: male Age: 15 Appearance: A handsome young man of slightly below average height. His features are thin and sharp, his eyes light gray and round. His hair is dark and curly, it's long but often held in a tight bun behind his head. Still dresses with a casual elegance, the layman might not notice that his clothes are a few seasons behind in style, as he hasn't been able to afford anything new in his wardrobe in recent months. Personality: Markus is habitually self-centered, but can be easily moved to altruism when pushed. He is a bit vain, but moves and speaks with an easy confidence. He is polite at all times, especially with people he dislikes, for whom there can be found a hidden venom in his manners. History: The Goethe family had been rich from investments since Markus's great grandfather. Markus's father was an affluent accountant on top of this, working for a company that makes high quality performance car parts. Markus, therefore, grew up in a certain level of comfort. His parents could afford to indulge his various young whims, and they very often did, with the help of nannies and tutors. When, at eight, he wanted to take up classical German swordplay, he was immediately dressed and armed in the best gear and presented to a teacher. The same went when he turned fifteen and fancied a BMW motorbike. Unfortunately, not long after his birthday, the authorities came knocking on his door with a warrant for his father. As Markus came to understand it, his company had been caught utilizing foreign slave wage labor, and Wilhelm Goethe was implicated in covering it up. The family accounts were frozen, and both Markus and his mother were forced to take up jobs to pay their extravagant bills. She as a secretary for an executive who was still friendly to the family, and he part time in data entry. When offered any wish he desired, Markus immediately narrowed it down to two: the return of his family's wealth, or the freedom of his father. Even as he went to meet with Qubus on the school's roof, he wasn't sure which he would pick. He even surprised himself when the words left his mouth. Favorite Color: Blue Dreams: To be an Olympic level fencer. To travel the world(the civilized bits, at least). Fears: Physical frailty/crippling injury. Poverty. Likes: metal music, meaty foods, nice clothes, fast cars. Dislikes: cheap(and foreign) craftsmanship. Tasteless food. Social obligations. Wish: For his father's release from prison. Magic Knight Uniform: High collared, blue fencing doublet, black slim fitting pants with high brown boots. Brown belt with a bronze buckle. The soul gem is embedded in a small pendent hanging from his belt on the left hand side. His head is covered by a black mesh fencing mask, it forms tightly around his head and face, with a close guard around the neck that goes under the collar of his doublet. Chosen Weapon: Sword Other: Owns a BMW R Nine T, one of a few leftovers from his family's former wealth. [/hider]
