Marcus

---

"What was that for?"

"Cause I love you." A video played on the computer monitor of Marcus vlogging in the mostly empty house but at his feet was Maya hugging him just because she could. "I love you too, Maya. But do you know who else loves you?" A bright beaming smile shown on the child's face as she asked "Who?"

"The Tickle Monster!" From that point on the video was mostly Marcus playing with Maya. But about two minutes before the end the happy music and footage faded away to Marcus sitting alone with dreary music in the background. "Hey, Markers. Sorry, that I haven't posted anything in a while. I haven't been able to bring myself to post this and keep retrying. This is the third time. Umm, Most of you know what happened with my mother but two days ago something happened. No one knows for sure what happened but my dad and Maya went missing. Please. If anyone knows where they are or have seen them please reach out. This will be my last video for a while so stay strong everyone and make your Mark on the world." The video ended with a picture of Maya and Roderick.

Marcus stared at the unlisted video. He needed to update it before posting it if he ever was going to. Each morning he sat at his computer staring at it trying to force himself to post it for the past few days. He looked at the teddy bear and broken picture frame of his dad sitting beside his computer almost asking the inanimate objects what to do. Would people even understand his plight if he uploaded the video? Would anyone care or would his detractors just use this as fodder to verbally assault him or his dad? Marcus knew full well what kind of assumptions the internet would make about his father as he had done the same as indicated by the broken picture frame. Why did his head have to think of the worst possibilities?

Marcus was broken out of his reverie by the loud thumping on the floor above him. Being in the basement was a pain in that he could tell when Meg was awake or someone was mad. But it was easier to keep from bothering his siblings this way. As well as less money needing to be spent on soundproofing foam. The teen looked at the time and realized he hadn't gone to sleep last night. He probably should fix that but sleeping now would just get in the way of his day. He would just pretend to have just woken up.

Before joining his family, well the ones who hadn't left him yet, Marcus went to his mirror. He ruffled his hair and scrunched up his t-shirt. Now unless they looked real close they wouldn't know he hadn't slept and maybe he could avoid getting scolded again. Marcus climbed the stairs hearing his younger sister yelling something about a signature. Whatever it was he hoped she would at least stop yelling. He guessed that everyone that was awake would probably be in the kitchen so he may as well get in his daily quota of family interaction. Seeing the two oldest Reese's Marcus turned to the quote-unquote leaders of the Reese clan asking, "What's on the agenda for today?"

Anthony Marcus Reese

December 25, 2002

Age
15

Appearance

5'9"
132 lbs
Natural blonde but dyes his hair a bright red.

Position
Youngest son of the Reese family

Secret
"Don't worry I wouldn't hide anything from you."

School
Millington High Scool - 10th Grade

Occupation
The best waiter at the Queen's Orchid. He knows all of the regulars and everyone enjoys when he shows up. He also has a YouTube channel with 2.2 Million Subscribers. He does gaming and vlogs on his channel.

Personality
Marcus is an extremely social guy. Everyone in his class seems to like him, and you'll rarely catch him without a smile on his face. Some would say that Marcus always knows what to say to cheer them up and the teen tends to make it his mission to take care of those close to him. But really what can anyone say about a person unless they get in their head. Marcus just enjoys attention and fun. That's mostly it. And it's not really any fault of his own. He just doesn't understand himself. He knows how people typically react to things and what a genuine response should be. But he doesn't understand as everything that happens to him and those around him affect him differently than it affects anyone else. He's scared of the possibility that something is wrong with him.

Marcus is not a bad guy. He cares about people. But he just can't seem to create a real connection with them. He often finds himself doing things on a whim. Whatever interests him really. Makes for great content on YouTube.

In regards to everything that has occurred recently, he doesn't have a clue how to act so he has mostly shut himself away from most. Out of his entire family, he felt closest to Maya as she had nothing to hide and was open to everyone about everything. Marcus has just always felt drawn to kids since they are open about everything and they are curious about the world. The older someone gets, the less the world seems to sparkle.

Short Bio
The golden child from the Reese household. That's what some in Millington tend to call Marcus. He's kind, outgoing, helpful, hardworking, and the list of good adjectives go on and on. From a young age, it seemed as if Marcus was the perfect child. He never caused problems for his parents or siblings. He'd always be willing to share his toys with other kids. He even one time gave his candy money to an old lady who was short some money for her groceries. Of course, his parents still got him a lollipop, but young Marcus was always a kind affectionate sort.

He had a lot of friends as well, but one day his best friend just disappeared. No one would talk to him or answer his questions about Sadie. So many things ran through his mind, and each was worse than the last. But the one he finally settled on was that she had just abandoned him. A few weeks later he received a letter from her, and that's when he finally heard the story. By that point, he didn't care. Why was he left out of the loop? Why was he lied to? They could have just told him, and he'd be able to deal with it. From that point on he was a little rebellious, but only at home and to his parents. He also still had friends, but it was never the same. When he started middle school, he'd have the occasional girlfriend, but it never lasted. Only two things shone like a light in his existence. A community that enjoyed his antics on the internet and his adorable little sisters. They were the only ones who had never lied to him.

Then another person left him. His mother the one who fostered the sweet boy just up and went. And the last thing Marcus remembered saying to her was more or less him getting mad at her because she asked him if he had a Valentine. A simple question with a simple answer but he just couldn't bring himself to answer like any normal kid. Then she was gone. Another person who hid their troubles and left. Oddly enough he wasn't affected by her death. He could tell she was hurting. He didn't want her to have to suffer. What upset him was that darned letter. When the cursed paper came into his possession, he ran. He ran as far as he could. When he stopped, he found himself next to a quiet lake. He looked at the letter and fear overwhelmed him. What if it was his fault? What if yelling at her for no reason in her worst state of mind pushed her over the edge? He couldn't risk that and tried to throw it into the water, but the wind had other ideas blowing it right back at him. So, to this day it sits in the corner of his room. But now two more have chosen to walk away leaving him behind. All he sees is their backs turned to him. Walking away laughing without a care in the world. If relationships are this painful? Then what's the point?

Sadie

Name
Sadie Woulfe

Birthday
May 23, 2003

Age
15

Appearance

Sadie is a small 5'3" girl with a tiny frame that weighs 102lbs. She is fairly tan, and her brown hair is almost always falling past her shoulders. She has deep hazel eyes. Usually, she can be seen wearing a long sleeved shirt under a jacket and a skirt over some black leggings. She also never wears heels. It's sneakers or nothing. Also, there are a small number of scars on her arms which is why she ALWAYS wears long sleeve shirts. She also has a larger scar across her back.

Position
Past best friend of Marcus/Neighbor around the corner

Secret
"I don't have any secrets."

School
Millington High Scool - 10th Grade

Occupation
As she has just moved back to town, she has none but is searching. Preferably babysitting.

Personality
Sadie is a natural caretaker. It is just who she is. Whenever she sees anyone hurting or in need, she can't help but try to take care of them no matter who they are or what they've done. Although she does at times, neglect to take care of herself and if anyone mentions it she will get upset. She makes friends easily, but she won't abandon her closest friends. Recently though it seems as if she is just depressed. She always shrugs it off and acts like nothing is wrong, but if things build up for too long, she will break down and start crying even if what pushed her over the edge is something minimal.

Short Bio
Sadie and her family lived in the same neighborhood as the Reese family when Sadie was growing up. Because of how close in age Marcus and Sadie were their parents would set up play dates between them and the two became friends early on. During Kindergarten they were inseparable. First grade had started the same way until something happened.

You see Sadie wasn't born a Woulfe. She was adopted into the family at the age of six. She was orphaned when her family was killed during a kidnapping gone wrong. Her father and mother tried to stop two men who were attempting to kidnap Sadie and her younger brother. The two men killed them, and Sadie and her brother had received severe injuries, but before the kidnappers could get away, the cops showed up. The men were arrested, and the two children were rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, Sadie's brother died during treatment, and when Sadie was in stable condition weeks later, they moved her to the children's wing. The long process of figuring out what to do with her began. She had no close or distant living relatives, and they were most likely going to put her in the foster program. However, there was a family that had happened to be volunteering at the hospital at the time, and Sadie quickly became attached to the twins of the family. The kids knew that Sadie was probably going to become a foster child, but they couldn't let it happened. So after days of constant begging, their parents decided to undergo the adoption process. She doesn't remember much before the incident but loves her new family all the same.

Of the few things, she remembers before the incident is the Reese family especially Marcus. Occasionally they would send letters back and forth about what was happening in their lives. Sadie and her new family would even come to visit some. She had two new older brothers, Oliver and Alex; two older sisters, Lindsey and Kiley; and a younger brother, Micky. Her new parents were Nathan and Taylor. Her new family was loving and caring, and she didn't feel left out for one second. They always made sure she felt at home with them.

Her life was getting better until something happened a few months ago. She stopped sending letters and didn't contact Marcus or the other Reeses at all. Can't let you know though because of secrets, yeah. But for some reason, they recently moved into Millington.

Power Rangers: Revival

@OGSG

The Black Ranger(Hopefully)

---

---

Name: Manami Hayashi

Age: 20

Ranger Designation: Black

Appearance: Manami is a Japanese female that stands at the height of 5'1". Her typical day to day attire is filled with lighter colors, and her clothes tend to be loose and comfortable. T-shirts and shorts primarily. She does have a black hoodie that she tends to wear everywhere. But when wrestling or working out her attire tends to be straight black with a little orange added in.

Personality: Manami is an energetic and friendly person. To some, she may seem like a child in an adults body, and that may very well be true. Whenever she becomes interested in something, she will throw herself full force into it. But those kinds of things come and go in phases. The one thing she is always invested in is wrestling. From a young age, wrestling was something she always enjoyed. Something which branches off of this is playing characters. If she is told of a new RPG, then Manami will quickly look into everything about it and try to gather some people to join her in an adventure.

She can be serious though. If anyone she knows is hurt or feeling down, Manami will go out of her way to help them. Even if they don't want her to. If out in the world she notices someone causing trouble then she'll do what she can to stop it. Manami does have her fears and weaknesses though. Manami can be very stubborn, and there is no convincing her when she has her mind set on something. Another issue she has is that she tends to get a little rebellious when people try to force her to do something. Especially if they don't have any real authority over her. She is also deathly afraid of dogs and most animals deemed as 'dangerous.'

Background: At a young age Manami was practically thrown into the world of wrestling. Instead of watching children shows Manami begged to watch wrestling. When she was four, her dad and mother convinced her to take gymnastics. Her father had been a professional gymnast, and he wanted his children to at least give it a try. At first, Manami was against it, but when they told her that a lot of female wrestlers had been a gymnast at one point, she threw herself into it because she wasn't going to be allowed to train at wrestling until she was at least 15.

She fell in love with being a gymnast and if not for her family being so involved with the Japanese wrestling scene she might have forgotten about wanting to be a wrestler entirely. Yet, when her oldest brother won the major title of the promotion ran by her uncle, it reinvigorated her desire to be a wrestler. When she finally turned 15 her birthday present was a special training session with Manami Toyota. After this day, the woman took the younger Manami under her wings and taught her what she knew.

At the age of 17, Manami left for America. She stayed with her cousin in Angel Grove and would drive every night for three hours to train/wrestle at a small indie promotion. Three years later and Manami is still at the same indie promotion. She has moved into her own place now and is relatively well known in the general area. In Angel Grove, Manami may be recognized by one random person a week. She enjoys the attention, but it can get agitating in certain situations.

@Metronome Hello. This is intriguing. Was wondering if there was any room?

Micky

---

When Micky asked for directions he had hoped for a quick simple answer. He had not expected the torrent of activity that came from such a simple query. He nervously stood still as the 'guide' just eyed him up and down. He nearly yelped in surprise as swiftly his shirt was yanked out from the front of his pants. He froze unsure of what to do as the boy proceeded to untuck the rest of his shirt. "Yeah, I'm Micky. Nice to m-meet you." Handing over the map Micky hoped that now he'd at least get his answer. He sort of did at least.

Being dragged around the courtyard was not the way Micky wanted most people to meet him. He paid attention to what Jett was telling him while also nervously waving at anyone that they rushed past. That was until suddenly Jett seemed to notice a friend. Not entirely sure of what to do Micky decided it'd probably be best to slip away now and avoid being dragged around anymore.

Gathering his thoughts over everything that had just happened, Micky eventually deemed it best to put away some of his stuff into his locker. It took a bit but eventually, he found it. However, it seemed someone had picked a fight with it. After kicking it the girl turned her attention to the forming crowd. Micky looked back and forth from the piece of paper that had his locker number on it and the locker the girl had assaulted hoping, no praying, that one of the numbers would suddenly change before his eyes. But he had no such luck. Micky gulped and slowly stepped towards the girl, "Umm, sorry to bother you but I'm Micky. It's a pleasure to meet you but I think that may be my locker." He slowly showed the piece of paper to her that indicated as such.
