[h3]<Name:/>[/h3] Markus Jones

[b]<Occupation:/>[/b]
Does homeless man count? Markus is still trying to work out just how the city works, or at the very least is playing stupid. Either way, he just does odd jobs to help himself get by. 

[b]<District:/>[/b] 17

[b]<Height:/>[/b] 6'1

[b]<Personality:/>[/b]
Markus is very... curious. As a man who claims to have come from beyond the walls, he likes to tell grand tales of adventure, and is generally fun to be around. He likes seeing others smile, laugh, become intrigued, or other such emotions, and is quite the supportive individual, very much like a caring big brother. He's a man who believes in freedom, which has lead to some altercations with the local police force, namely within the first few weeks of arriving at New Ancora. However, he managed to get away on a clean slate, considering he was apparently unaware of the concept of 'stealing', or just crime in general for that matter.

He's simply fascinated with the technologies of New Ancora, and acts much like an enthusiastic child when he encounters something new. Oftentimes, he'll create equally simple and childish nicknames for the device, rather than using the proper name. Despite this, the man is actually quite wise, or so he tries to be, since he's the only person from the outside to make it in, as far as he knows. His very being radiates experience and wonder, very much like an old man or woman whom has lived a fulfilling life, and his eyes gleam with this certain sense of brightness and life that could only be found in those who are pure of heart.

The question is, can he remain pure in New Ancora?

[b]<Biography:/>[/b]

Not an awful lot of history to Markus. At least, not a lot of verified history. He sort of just... showed up one day, without a trace. He claims to have come from "The Outside". Nobody really knows for sure if he's actually from the outside, but he claims to be, and tells many vivid stories about it.

He made his first appearance by fixing a whole bunch of random 'garbage' in the outer districts of New Ancora, essentially turning scrap metal into useful tools and goods that he gave away to a bunch of random people. After this, the man mysteriously disappeared for about a month; even the shady alleyway guys couldn't find him. His second appearance was at a medical clinic for the homeless, where he proceeded to patch up a bunch of patients with methods and tools from the 21st century, and even performing an amputation for a cybernetic (which was very difficult to pull off due to his sheer fascination with the arm and tools provided). Yet once again, he disappeared into thin air, only to come back a third time a week later being caught stealing from a bunch of shopkeepers, though gave them back the stolen goods when he learned this was 'wrong'.

After this third appearance, Markus began appearing more and more, until eventually, he found himself living in the outer districts of New Ancora. Among the less fortunate citizens, he was known as the kind man who would do anything for free, at the least asking for a nice place to sleep or a simple meal to keep him going. Anyone he met would be greeted with a smile and a kind soul - everyone was given a chance to prove themselves as kind, and Markus was more than willing to give people a second chance. He had a few bad run-ins with the law even after he was established, being mistaken for a prankster or criminal playing dumb, yet even the most intense interrogators could only find sincerity in his words as he spoke of coming from the outside.

And that worried some people. 

But Markus didn't really care, nor did he have time to care. He'd already gone when the police department was asked to question him about his method of entering New Ancora. But this time, it wasn't to disappear, or to help the people of the district. No, this was a personal goal of his that he had only just recently found. He'd already learned that New Ancorda had a variety of districts, and he knew that he was already in District 17. His goal was to make it further within the Districts, step by step, level by level, until finally he could maybe, possibly, [i]hopefully[/i] reach the ultimate destination: District 0. He was drawn to that place somehow. Every time he heard about it, his curiosity would skyrocket. He just had to know what lay within.

And so, Markus begins his journey, headed from the 17th District to the 16th, hoping to help anyone he can along the way. 

[b]<Other:/>[/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obq5mYjKzxQ]Markus's Theme[/url]; Oddly, Markus is very skilled in tinkering with modern day technologies, despite most of his knowledge relating to the 21st century. Additionally, he is fairly skilled when it comes to medical practices from the 21st century, and wishes to learn more about medicines and whatnot of 2118.
