Marcus Richardson
22
Male
Appearance: Short, pale, and blond-haired, Marcus is the picture of a shut-in. Dressed in unfitted, sometimes dirty clothes (most often a hoodie and some ripped-knee jeans), he is consistently unkempt. His eyes are a dark green, and he most often wears an expression that screams depressed and echoes hopelessness. He almost looks malnourished, underneath his baggy clothes, with a torso and arms that are just a little too thin to be average, and with the sometimes ragged breaths he takes due to mild asthma.
Personality: Marcus is far more capable of optimism and determination than he seeems; the problem is that he rarely makes that choice, instead easily falling into old patterns of self-rejection and bitterness. He prefers to spend his days inside, sitting at his computer and browsing painfully obscure websites, some of his own devising, some merely interesting to him-- either that or gaming. His only real trips outside are his trips to the chip and navi shops, prompting Shade to often badger him into making trips there for different things.
Shade.exe
Male
Null/Void (Shadow)
Appearance: Although flickering constantly, Shade nevertheless retains the shape of a spiky-haired man wearing, based on his outline, a pair of pants alongside a shirt and vest. His build is rather lean, perhaps even a little lanky, and you can tell by the distinct sound they make that he wears thick, hard-soled boots. The rest of his details, such as hair color, age, skin tone, and so on are impossible to make out; Shade is a navi that appears to be purposefully unrendered, and light bends around him as though avoiding a blight on its' presence. This is exacerbated by the fact that smaller, willowy shadows spiral out from his form at inconsistent intervals, making even his silouette often hard to distinguish. Perhaps the one distinct thing about his shadows are their recognizably blue hue.
Personality: Cocky or humble? Headstrong or level-headed? A berserker, or a paladin? Shade is all of these things and neither, swapping freely between personality traits-- sometimes unwillingly. Perhaps the one trait of his that remains constant is his determination. Even when not actively pressing towards a goal, even when he is talking, or relaxing, and especially in those rare moments where he quietly contemplates, Shade keeps his goals in mind. Keeps what he wants, what he is pushing forward towards, in mind. His goals are his own, and sometimes, they are his everything.
Passive: Efflorescence
Shade's unique nature exudes from him constantly, forming a cloud of concentrated shadow around him. This cloud has a mind of its' own, and will damage anything that steps into it, even for a short time.
