In Depth Appearance;A relatively attractive man, Mark's most defining and attractive feature would be his jawline, clear and generally accentuated by the beard which he has. His beard is well groomed, but its general style and length varies from time to time based on little more than how he feels about it. He keeps his dark brown hair relatively short and messy, and his deep blue eyes are generally a striking feature. Mark has an athletic and muscular figure, weighing about one-hundred and eighty-seven pounds. the by-product of a strict exercise regimen, and he stands just a little shy of six foot two. His skin is a pale white, dotted with moles and a few small scars on and around his knuckles.
Clothing Style;Mark tends to wear nice clothes, he doesn't particularly care for spending money on brand-name clothes or what's fashionable or a trend, he tends to stick to nice, buttoned shirts, sweaters, and trousers. In colder weather he'll add a coat and scarf ontop of that combo, but aside from wearing a different colour shirt or a different sweater, his outfit doesn't change too much, he's generally more about practicality and looking smart than anything else.

Fears;Personality;Comedic ~ Blunt ~ Confident ~ Dismissive
Someone with a good sense of humour, Mark is generally able to find the bright side of anything, and he's always ready to crack a joke about anything. He finds comedy to be a great equalizer of sorts, he doesn't much care for political views, religion or anything else when it comes to jokes, anything is free game in his mind. Of course, this has landed him in trouble from time to time, but his jokes are always light-hearted, and never intended for anything more than comedy. He is confident in both his appearance and his skills, and while he doesn't boast, Mark doesn't really let anything get him down about his looks or what he's good at, he knows his skills and his faults.
Mark can be somewhat blunt from time to time, and not just in his humour. If someone is getting on his nerves, or he disagrees with them on something, he has no problem with making that known. Sometimes it has made Mark come across as aggressive or like a bit of a dick, but he usually doesn't mean anything mean by it, usually. Similarly, Mark can generally seem dismissive when he is working or busy with something else. He has no problem blowing off friends or a date if he has something more important that needs doing, and it can make him seem like something of an ass from time to time.
Place of Origin;Belfast, Northern Ireland
Background;Born to a relatively well-off family in Belfast, Mark's father was a Scottish immigrant and former soldier and his mother a local who worked as a lawyer. Mark was an only child, raised in a degree of affluence and never particularly wanting for everything, though he was anything but spoiled. A military man, Mark's father ensured that the boy was raised with a fair degree of discipline and workmanship, never giving the growing boy anything more than was deserved. Mark learned from a young age the importance of hard work, despite his families relative wealth.
Going through school, Mark worked hard from a young age to do well, managing to often top his classes through a great amount of dedication to his study, but early on he struggled to make friends and develop relationships. Most of Mark's days and afternoons were spent alone with books, studying and learning while other kids his age were out playing and making friends. Mark never really came out of his shell and began to develop his charisma until high school. For much of his early highschooling, Mark saw a complete turnaround, with something of a rebellious teenage spirit, he spent much of his time with friends, away from home, and not really paying attention to his studies, and as a result his grades suffered.
It wasn't until about tenth grade that Mark finally began to think about the future, knowing he wanted to go to university, he couldn't do so if his grades continued to falter. After a long time thinking it all through, he decided he wanted to study overseas, and began to push himself in his studies once again, managing to go from some of the lowest scores in his grade to the highest, eventually topping all his classes in his final grade, doing well enough to secure a scholarship to study in the United States at Hollywood University. Bidding his friends, family and his home goodbye, Mark left his home of Ireland to make his way to the United States.
Settling in relatively quickly at his new university, Mark has picked up work, though he hasn't had a great deal of time to go out and make friends, still mostly keeping to himself and to his study for the time being. To most people, at least for now, he's still just 'The Irish Guy'.
Extra;Audrey Hepburn.
