Harmless Conspiracy Theorist
Harmless Conspiracy Theorist
You know that guy who's genuinely nice but just a bit creepy in that he's not QUITE all there? That's Marcus. He's harmless and a good person, but lord have mercy on your soul if you get him started on the supernatural or worse, extraterrestrials. He lives on his own near the edge of town and keeps to himself, only really making a fuss when someone has complained about his house and it's rather interesting display pieces in the lawn and the light show he puts on to keep the wood people away.
The Dark Abyss
Nearly drowning can do weird stuff to a guy. In Marcus's case, it left him with partial amnesia and a deadest belief that he'd been rescued by aliens. A fishing tip having gone wrong, he survived, his friend did not, and yet to date, no can explain Marcus's memories, as fragmented as they are, and most people who could fill in the gaps are dead or he just doesn't know who they are and who to contact. As a coping mechanism he tends to blame certain groups or organizations that may or may not actually exist. More, he worries and fears constantly that his own memory is actually fake and broken. Trust, relationships, even basic interactions at the drive through can be very stressful for Marcus, as his paranoia and fear of his faulty memory having a role to play make his life rather troubled. He wants to fit in, to be understood- but he's not sure how to do so. He fears he flatly can't and never will. Sure most normal townsfolk might just have come to accept him- but is that really acceptance? Is it tolerance, false civility? He doesn't know, and it weighs on him.
Marcus tends to bring strange devices into town with him, which can be rather alarming, (especially if they catch fire or make loud noises). What's more, his questioning of strangers can easily be intrusive, which is unlikely to make him a friends from the get go. And no, he doesn't need a therapist. He's perfectly normal. Just don't trust the man with the nose ring.
Needless to say, fitting into everyday society is hard, especially when you think society is possible made of robots and aliens who plan to overthrow the current Illuminati controlled government. (Shhhh he didn't tell you anything).
Eye See All
For as long as Marcus can remember, he's never lost or misplaced anything. So long as he put it down, or saw where it last was- he just remembers. Misplacing things just have never really happened to him. Aside from that, he finds things extremely quickly and tends to not lose them once found. If you want to keep something safe- give it to Marcus. He'll have your back.
ANYTHING ELSE?
Marcus is convinced that both cellphones and microwaves can give you cancer. The cellphone however is just a secondary way that the government can spy on you. Oh, and he is employed as an architect- usually contracted to the government (The irony is not lost on him)
