+Strain: Alpha
+Class: King [GN]

+Ability:

:bulletblue: Emotional Controll [Moral]
By emitting pheromones Marshall can trigger an emotion or mood in surrounding individuals. Since the human brain can't detect a possible cause, people usually start to remember an event in their life related to the emotion they're forced to experience. The duration of impact depends on how long it would take the individual to get over the feeling if it was of natural origin, and therefore differs vastly from person to person. Another downside is the 5 meter radius Marshall can neither slim down nor expand.


:bulletblue:Hyperresistance [Defense]
Not much of an ability, but important enough to mention since it even has an impact on Marshall's human form.
Ever since the mutation of the virus, Marshall's body seems to have adopted an unnaturally high resistance against exogenous substances. Other viruses or bacteria besides the BETAV show little to no effect and get quickly eliminated. Same applies to drugs and medication. They work on him for only a short time until his body develops immunity. Marshall considers this condition more of a curse than a blessing.


+Personality:
Polite | Dutiful | Calm | Quiet | Serious | Hardworking | Helpful | | Pragmatic | Conservative | Withdrawn | Old-fashioned | Resentful | Stubborn


+History:
Born into a middle-class family in an American suburb, Marshall spent his childhood in a serene and loving environment. Since his family could not bring up enough money to pay for both his and his younger brother’s college fees, Marshall applied for a military scholarship program and soon upon entering got send off to Mangetsu Island to guard the “base” located there. Despite his withdrawn self and the vast language barrier, he befriended the young, local lab assistant Tomoe. Their friendship evolved over time and they eventually became lovers, and finally engaged.

When the outbreak took place several years later, both of them contracted the virus from their respective coworkers. Unlike Marshall, however, who wasn’t feeling well but could still walk and talk, Tomoe fell very ill and had to be hospitalized. Marshall wasn’t allowed to accompany her and after two days without any notice he got informed that Tomoe had died on the hospital bed. All his inquiries to arrange a funeral or even see her a last time were dismissed without any other explanation than the high infection rate of the virus. As Marshall wouldn’t stop urging for at least her burned ash, he got dismissed from service, stating that he had become emotionally unstable after his fiancé’s death officially, while the authorities were just considering him a nuisance and potential threat for asking too many questions.

Unable to return to America due to the quarantine or hold up the apartment he used to live in with Tomoe from the small resignation fee he was given, Marshall soon found himself right- and homeless, forced to move into an abandoned flat in Gomibako to not live on the street. This was when his first ALPHA change occurred, causing quite a fuss in the neighborhood.

After several months of futile attempts of getting a job, Marshall walked down a lonely street of China Town just in time to notice a few bums molesting an older lady for money. He successfully managed to put them to flight, but got himself roughed up in the process. The woman felt thankful, but also at fault and took him to the book store she owned close by to clean him up. After talking with Marshall for a bit, she felt pity for his situation and offered him a job in her store, suggesting him to move into the unused backrooms of the shop until he could safe up enough money to afford something on his own again. Ever since then, Marshall has been working and living in "Tanaka's Treasure Chest".



+Likes:
Coffe | Having something to do / work | Books | Tinkering | Routine

+Dislikes:
Changes | Surprises | Uncertainty | Superstition | Flightiness

+Other:
:bulletblue: Marshall’s mark reaches from the lowest point of his neck to the upper parts of his shoulder blades.

:bulletblue: Being an old-fashioned guy, his ID-Mate resembles an old iPhone popular in 2010’s. The menu is completely holographic, though.

:bulletblue: The whole virus thing and what it does to his body scares him to death. He tries his best to hold mutations to a minimum and barely ever uses his ability. Withstanding change for too long, however, causes physical pain and mental draught, so Marshall soon grew accustomated to the idea of taking medication against those side effects. His sharpened immune system doesn't allow him to stay on one single drug for too long so he has to change formulas ever so often.


+Relationships:

:bulletblue:Birghid [TEAMMATE] [link]: A Co-worker employed several months after him. Her livlyness constantly throws him off-guard.

:bulletblue:Anthony [link] : A former scientist who now deals witrh drugs and grants Marshall free medication for trying out prototypes.

:bulletblue: Simon [link] : Anthony's friend who often accompanies him on visits to "Tanaka's Treasure Chest". Marshall assumes they're in some kind of relationship but never bothered to clarify.
