Other Information

Overview
Marshall is cold, talkative but often says so in a derogative manner. His life has been cruel, so he believes what has happened to him should happen to them. He is odd in the way that once he gets to know people or belives in certain people he is loyal, he is kind and he will defend them with his life. For a leader he would fight until he could not move, for a lady he would fight until he was dead for those he considered family he would fight and win. In a fight he is quiet, he is stoic and he is powerful. His quiteness allows him to secrete an aura of power that has been known to frighten lesser fighters. He has a quick wit which often confuses and astounds those around him which in turn can cause violent rebuttle's.
Towards New People
Marshall's personality towards others he does not know is often cold and heartless. He is sometimes seen as inward and as an 'Emo' but he does not believe he is. He is just sick of trusting people and being abused, broken. Marshall is the typical loner in the fact of his demeanor towards those he deems...worthless. The fighters who fight because they like the blood or those who defend something morally wrong such as the school system. A fighter, a true fighter is one who has lived on the streets, who has literally fought for his life. Marshall has and therefore knows the quality of a man before they speak. Marshall once he mets someone, as soon as the introduction is done he will know if this person is socially acceptable or worthless gutter trash who is a waste of human life. If they prefer to fight for the sake of it or becayse they have to...that is what sets a man apart.
Moral Belief
Marshall's life has been hard, for a boy of his age to go through so much in such a short of time and unfortunately only remember the past year is a hard thing to cope with. Marshall believes that what his last two years have brought him, the parts he remembers...should not happen to those who are worthy. People who are born rich, stay rich and treat people like trash should be taken down a peg, those who flaunt wealth should be beaten and those who struggle and fight through the hardships instead of paying for help are those who deserve the bounties in the world. Marshall is wierd in his belief. His belief towards females is different, he will not harm one, he is valiant and will not allow a female to be injured. He is the typical knight shining armour towards females and he is overall the anti-hero.
Towards Those He Knows
Those he knows, he classifies as friends, they are treated with respect, with loyalty and warmth. If he witnesses one of his 'friend's' being injured he will not be a pleasant person to say the least. He will stick by them through the hard times, the good times and all times that is the way he sees it. Loyalty in friendship is key for it to remain stable. He often comes off overly protective which can cause some minor problems but once he is told where the 'line' is, the personal space lies he will stay on it, often creeping over slightly.
In A Fight
Ahh the strong silent type, the scary yet politicaly accepted silent type. This is how you could define Marshall during a fight, instead of boasting about his skills, about boasting that any fool could be beaten by his awesomeness he stays quiet and shows his dominance over others by beating them to the ground. Whilst silent this also intimidates and infuriates those who are fighting him and those around him. When he is like this, lesser fighters such as those who are all talk often feel a slight fear factor at the aura that seems to come from with in him. But as he said his true power comes from within...his body is just a tool...This stands true for Marshall mainly because of this one ability which is nothing bar a mind trick that can be played on the opponent.

Head - Marshall has a thin jaw line, with a roundish cranium. His jaw ends in a slightly pointed chin, he has clean, pearly white teeth. He has slight stubble on the sides of his face due to shaving and he has a well kept goatee. The Chin patch spreading up to the lower lip. It is slightly pointed, with no moustache or side strips. His Black hair is short, and kept well, often groomed back. When not kept well the hair is small, spikey and out everywhere.

The lobes are connected to his jaw line.
Upper - His skin tone is like a mocha, a faded brown, that looks smooth and unscathed. He has a rock solid body, built to be a fighter due to his time on the street. His frame is wiry yet compact and can take a beating. His chest is tight and hard, his bones are thickened due to the times they have been broken and are harder to break now. His shoulders are well rounded and broad, with powerful looking arms. He has rough, scarred hands due to the amount of fighting and scrounging he has done. He has a tattoo along the lower part of his abdomen above the line of his pants (picture below)

His shirt is never tucked in, as he believes it would make him look slightly wierd. He has silver gauntlets magically imbued with strength beyond what it should be. The gauntlets end in claw like finger tips which act as a guard and a weapon. It also acts as a conductor for his chi energy's. (Explained Later)

Important Details
History:
Marshall was born to a Chinese Mother in Beijing, she died whilst giving birth. Marshall's mother was a prostitute and his father was a British dignitary. Marshall was forced to live in a child care center for a few years (Orphanage - I hate the way it sounds), where he was not given a name but was just known as number 11 being the eleventh baby in the orphanage. At the age of three he was adopted by a pair of Spell Masters and were taken to the Acadamy.
His care takers Joan Donovan and Elias Smith were caring, kind and incredibly strict. Marshall was given his name by pure luck...Joan and Elias had both decided on Marshall but they had to decide on a middle name and last name so they chose their own names and picked the one that sounded the smoothest. Marshall was treated like a normal kid, given most things he wanted but when he had done bad he was punished. But he was magically punished often being thrown about by Joan's telekenetic powers or getting hammered by Elias's necromatic slaves. Marshall often went to bad fearing that Elias's minions were going to creep in at night and hurt him further.
Marshall's life was fairly rigid he was not given much freedom and when his Caretakers/Tormentors found out that he had a small amount of Chi power's...they hammered it home that they had to learn how to control and manipulate it. They found out during one punishment had brought Marshall to tears. He was eleven and a skeleton was beating on him. Marshall got so angry that he clenched his fist and focused an attack directly at the skull. an aelectric current had formed around his hand blasting the weak bone into dust. He was now not only frightened of everyone else but he was also frigthened of himself.
By the age of fifteen Marshall first realised his homosexual tendencies. He had met a boy (who would soon become his first boyfriend) whose name was Carlos Knight, he was three years his elder and was already training in his chosen art. Fire manipulation, he had two forms that he was willing to show one was a fireball the other was when he engulfed himself in flames. He was handsome, powerful and quite dominating. Marshall fell in love with him instantly, soon he was to move out of 'home' if he could call it that and move in with Carlos. This was when Marshall was 16 and Carlos 19.
Carlos soon taught Marshall the basics on how to control his Chi ability. Although it was difficult to teach someone with a different style, by teaching them the same as he did...he managed. He was just like that, he always stood by me no matter what happened, even when I got the call that my 'parents' had been killed by their own necromatic powers.////
Style: Chi - Marshall's Chi power's revolve around his hands and the manipulation and over powering of the electrical currents running through his body. He is able to focus those currents into a physical power which can inturn electrify his enemies.
Techniques:
Fulcan's Claw - Fulcans Claw, is a move that can be used to disturb another beings natural heart beat rythym. Marshall's hand will shape into a claw, all points out and he will strike. But before his attack hits he will stop, and rest his fingers over his opponents heart. This can confuse most, so if he notices the confusing look he will give them a smile and a wink before sending five seperate arcs of electricty surging through their bodies to disturb the heart beat. Depending on how hard he does it they can either be stunned or killed. It was a difficult move to master.
Quick Fix - Quick Fix, this is used when he needs to get rid of an opponent quickly. Marshall will ball his fist up and throw a punch from quite a distance, the energy (chi) put into the punch will then in turn be shot out like a large ball of energy. This lightning orb crashes onto the opponents body causing a tremendous force to be ripped through the body. The electrical energies can either stun or kill. Kill if hit in the chest or neck, stun if in stomach or face, and hurt if arms or legs. It is a dangerous move so whilst in a 'spar' he will not use this move.
Dragon's Shock - Dragon Shock, this is a coiled manouvre, and a beginning move. Marshall will be in a sitting stance, his legs folded under neath him, but tensed and ready to spring. Is left hand will be open and his right fist will be in the palm of the left hand. As the move starts Marshall will shoot up spiralling in the air gaining momentum, his arms will come out wide and be brought in quickly, the added momentum of the spin and the electrical energies forced into the blow results in a devestating blow which often sends the opponent to the ground. It looks quite impressive as well.
