(Name of Host: Marcus

Name of Alter: Vladimir

Gender of Host: Male

Gender of Alter: Male

Age: 18

Projector Placement: Forehead

Radical, Ragtag, or Unaffiliated: Radical

Powers: Vladimir gives Marcus added charisma points: he’s naturally convincing in most debates. It allows him to sway the hearts and minds of those who hear him with greater ease. This also applies to words he has written down. This power in the hands of a revolutionary could be problematic.

Appearance: Marcus stands at a 5’6 height, with pale white skin, short black hair and grey eyes. He can usually be found wearing a black hoodie and black pants and shoes, usually wearing either a mask or using some other form of concealment.

Personality of Host: Marcus is a revolutionary at heart. Wanting to radically alter society for the benefit of All, but tempered by compassion and a feeling of loneliness, Marcus is willing to do almost anything for his cause

Personality of Alter: Vladimir has no mercy. He knows that for the sake of Utopia, any means is justified. Any. Empires will fall, millions will die, and all to build a society that, unlike all societies currently, actually deserves to exist. Vladimir is Marcus’ anger and frustration at a exploitative, self-perpetuating and imperialist system, honed and magnified into an inferno.

Backstory: Marcus was born to a middle class family in downtown LA. His father was the son of a immigrant from the now defunct USSR. Even at an early age, Marcus was aware of the amount of work his mother and father put in just to scratch off a living. He saw county lines gerrymandered to keep minorities and the disenfranchised trapped in violent, crime-ridden areas, only to have those crimes blamed on them rather than the real perpetrators. He received an education, though he could only afford a public one, and there came off as a shy and introverted person. On the occasions where he did speak up, however, he had profound things to say, calling out the injustice in society without hesitation. This lead to disciplinary action and bullying, for calling out the status quo was always unpopular. At first a Democrat before he became aware of how both party’s were in the pocket of faceless corporations, over time Marcus’ natural optimism slowly faded away and was replaced by a dark and brooding personality. Getting just barely into college, he studied Marx and other Leftist philosophers and economists, and allowed radicalism to sway him down that path. With the arrival of the Scires, Marcus sees an opportunity: society is in a state of disruption. The introduction of this new race was raising new ideas and putting old ideas into question. This would be the best time for a revolution, and with his new alliance with the enigmatic and emotionally detached Vladimir, Marcus is on his way to save Mankind. At all costs.)
