Name: Marcus Selwyn
Nickname, if applicable: N/A
Age: 31
Appearance:
Home Country: Marcus is from a small town on the outskirts of Capernaum known as Kilmer. The tiny town runs solely on it's profits from it's farmers. It is surrounded by rolling hills of golden wheat, corn, vegetables and fruits. It's a poor town, but it provides a lot of food for other cities around it. The journey from Kilmer to Adin would be a long one, perhaps 5-6 days depending on the steed.
Background: Marcus grew up as a farm boy and for the most part he had no qualms about it. At seventeen he married, had two daughters in the coming years. He had his own land, his own buyers, he had everything he wanted. Life was good for him. When he was twenty, Marcus's wife and his two young daughters traveled to a neighboring town to visit family. On their way back they disappeared, no trace of them was ever found save one of his daughters shoes. Marcus went insane. Literally, he locked himself in his house, drank himself into a stupor and paraded around town on his horse, screaming and cursing God and anyone who tried to quiet him. Finally, he left the town, taking only what he could pack and started to travel. On his travels he learned, through trial and error, to throw a punch. He was a pitiful excuse for a man.
In a tavern he picked a fight with a rather skilled warrior, his own drunken mistake of course, but the aging hunter saw potential in the drunken mess and cleaned him up. By cleaned him up, the hunter locked him in a room, cut him off of alcohol and women and let him be. When Marcus emerged, dirty, haggard, and quite smelly, the hunter told him what he wanted. Marcus no longer had anything to live for in his own mind so he agreed to learn to fight.
By the time he 'graduated' from the hunters teachings, he was twenty-seven, with a rage behind him that not many people had seen. He returned to Kilmer, but did not farm any longer. He basically became a monster killer for hire. It seemed he had no morals or any sense of right or wrong. If someone offered him the right amount of money he would kill who ever he was asked to kill. However, this was simply a facade. Sure he'd kill anyone for money, he enjoys killing, perhaps too much, but he knows he is no better than the people who took his family. He has accepted that he is a tainted soul and will burn for his indiscretions and he simply doesn't care what happens to him after he dies. He doesn't want to get close to anyone ever, having convinced himself that he is somehow cursed.
Strengths: He is quick about his work, doesn't ask very many questions, and he doesn't care who he kills as long as he gets paid
Weakness: Will PM shortly
Weapons: The two swords in the picture above. Marcus is ambidextrous.
Additional Info: He may seem unfeeling and a little evil, but he isn't actually he just has a really hard time expressing feelings...except anger...he's pretty good at anger. Also he turned out darker than I originally had planned, but he'll change over the course of the RP I promise :)
