Basics
Name: Marco Bauers
Nicknames: Polo, Peasant
Age: 18
Birthday: April 1st
Grade: 11th
Power:
Enhanced Reflexes
A reflex is a quick and an involuntary movement to a stimulus, which is something that every human has want it or not. Marco's own reflexes however stand on a completely different level to that of a normal human, making him able to act close to instantaneously. The young man can dodge bullets, catch objects from mid-air, dodge and maneuver around complex attacks, block detriments and react almost instantaneously to what others take more time to react to.
There however are limits and weaknesses to this power of Marco's. With reflexes being automatic reactions to stimulus and even though Marco can have some control over what his reflexes react to, they still have most control and force Marco to make movements he might not even want to do. Good example being; even if he wants to get hit, his brain registers that the punch is a threat and involuntary makes Marco react to the punch by dodging it. This also makes it possible to calculate his movements and predict where he'll go, which can be quite problematic.
Also if too much is happening, even Marco's reflexes can't help, so no dodging a flurry of bullets or avoiding all 20 punches that come from every direction simultaneously. It's also good to add, that there are things too fast for even Marco to dodge. For example, even if he's able to dodge bullets, if it's too close up, it will be too fast for him to dodge. It really depends on the location the bullet is headed towards also, but we can pretty much say that 5 feet is the absolute limit for Marco to dodge a bullet or at least avoid it from hitting any vital spots.
One last also here, if the thing to dodge is too large, no amount of reflexes makes it possible to dodge. Like a tsunami or some shit. I'm sure you get the jist <3
Enhanced Dexterity
Marco has incredible control over his movements and muscles, allowing him to make very precise movements and unable to be clumsy or fumble around. He can slip through narrow spaces, keep perfect balance or effortlessly juggle, without fucking it up. Even moving his fingers and toes individually like it's child's play, with not even tendons being able to restrict the movements of his. Of course falling over is still possible if Marco's not careful or if pushed or physically removed from a surface.
Some other feats that Marco can perform if we go into a bit more detail are for example to regain balance or literally jump back to his feet once lying on ground with no effort, being equally skilled with both his hands, act out actions in the strangest of positions use his feet and toes almost like his hands, allowing him to complete tasks requiring precision easily with them.
Even standing on incredibly unstable surfaces is possible for Marco with his balance, e.g during earthquakes, on a moving vehicle and such.
A very important fact to know about Marco's dexterity is that even if he is able to make seemingly impossible moves and actions, they can strain and damage his muscles if gone to extremes or done too much.
Lie Detecting Eye
Marco's right eye is vastly different from a normal eye, because it will visually show if a person is lying or not. If the person says something that contradicts their own knowledge a red F will appear above their head and if their telling something that matches their knowledge a blue T will appear above their head. Besides the blue T and red F being very clear, everything else that the eye sees seems very distorted and every color seems to be all messed up, with the sun for example being a mix of blue and violet.
There are two distinct weaknesses that this eye has;
1) If the person actually believes the thing he says, it will appear as true, even if it would be an actual lie. A good example being; if the person questioned has knowledge that he is a dog, the eye will recognize it as a true statement, matching the knowledge of the person saying this and shows the blue T.
2) Headache. A major fucking headache. The constant distortions and screwed up, opposite colors will cause light headache in a matter of 10 seconds and will second after second become stronger. After the minute mark, the headache becomes extremely severe. The minute and thirty seconds mark is the very limit of Marco, with the headache becoming too much and causing him to lose consciousness.
For the time limit to return back to the starting point, about 10 seconds for each second the eye has been used of resting the eye and having it closed is enough.
Member Group: Prefect
Canon or not: Non-Canon, Prefect Team A member
Appearance: Standing at 6'2" (188 cm), Marco is a bit above the average in height and it's well complimented by his wide shoulders, well toned muscles and strong, defined lines. There really isn't anything else to mention about his body in general, except that his legs are a bit on the hairy side.
There's more to say about his facial features, which are placed on that head of Marco's that is more box like, with a very strong and defined jawline, with sharp edges. This box head is decorated with a spiky and messy, black hair, that really would benefit from seeing the good side of a comb at least once in a while. The hair would reach the shoulders, if it would grow an inch and covers Marco's face a bit, as it's bangs are long enough to even reach his nose. Just a small addition to hair, the rate of growth that Marco's facial hair has is quite quick, so after one day, you will find the young man with a small stubble during the morning.
Now, on to other things that Marco has on his face, besides the hair! The thing that will most likely attract the eyes of people first, would be Marco's own eyes, with his left, green colored eye looking rather lazy, with it often being half closed and the small bags under it, showing the habit of staying up a bit too late and the lack of sleep every now and then. "What about the right eye?", you may ask and that is a good one. Marco's right eye is actually almost at all times covered by an eye patch and closed, just to avoid the side effects of the eyes power. The eye's appearance however is not that strange, as it only differentiates from a regular one, with both the iris and pupil being yellow and glowing slightly.
Above both eyes are long, semi-thick, black eyebrows, that with Marco's neutral facial expressions remain straight, but with the arsenal of facial features that the guy holds, the brows can go rather squiggly.
Then there of of course are his ears, wide mouth and sharp nose, which can be rather plain looking, but very well with some of the more odd expressions that Marco has.
Marco's clothings of choice aren't really anything special to mention about, with him most of the time using his student uniform anyways, with the lad being so busy with Prefect duties and his most unique clothing choice being a quite the baggy cap (and he has the same cap, but in many different colors) that he wears at all times (yes, even when sleeping). When he does have free time, you're most likely going to find Marco with army trousers or shorts, sneakers, a tank top and a hoodie in a wide variety of colors, as he does prefer wearing things that are easy to put on and comfortable to wear.
Personality
[/b]- Most of the time keeping a very lax mindset, Marco is willingly able to avoid stress and frustration from his duties, that most other's have to face no matter what.
Positive:
* Jokester- Marco being that guy who just loves to laugh and make others laugh, he will often be making jokes, giving off humorous over the top reactions and throw witty remarks, even at moments when others would find it inappropriate. Can sometimes be bothersome, but really does lighten up the atmosphere.
* Realistic- The way that Marco thinks through everything and his believes are in the regions of normal logic and realistic way of thinking. He knows when something is and isn't possible.
* Observant- Marco keeps a close eye on his surroundings and the way that people speak and act, so you can't expect for him to miss that much.
* Strategic- Staying one step ahead of the opponent is something Marco prefers and he knows how to utilize himself, others and his knowledge to get this one step. Sometimes he might get a couple extra steps while at it.
* Kind- Those of the fairer sex will get to see Marco smile a lot more, receiving the guy's help whenever they ask and such. Even those on other factions receive some of this kindness, when he's not on duty.[/ul]
Negative:
* Unmotivated- Finding it hard to act out duties on his own, Marco rarely does work unless given some orders or request from superiors or from a lady. He sometimes finds even fights just a bother and will not participate unless commanded or attacked.
* Submissive- Marco's honestly too lazy to disagree with those who are his fellow Prefects and superiors, so he just nonchalantly takes on almost all duties thrown at him.
* Opportunistic- Not afraid to to use any chance Marco sees to benefit him or the Prefects, even the most cowardly or unethical route is something he will gladly take.
* Perverse- He's a horny, young man, who isn't afraid to say a lot of crude/dirty stuff. What else can I say? Moving on!
* Messy- When it comes to being organized and clean, no real effort can be expected from Marco, unless someone commands to actually do a proper job. [/ul]
Likes:
* Games- This guys just loves all kinds of games, from your classic board games to modern video games. It's a great way to pass time and betting something while at it can make things so much more entertaining.
* Fruits and berries- You can often find Marco munching on some healthy treats, with his favourites being mandarins (and it's many varietals) and strawberries.
* Puns- Throwing puns every now and then, this lad just finds them hilarious for how purposely bad they are.
[/ul]
Dislikes:
* Rushing- Trying to do things in a hurry just seems risky and you're almost bound to be careless, so he doesn't like it.
* His right eye- It's just a bother. It's pretty bothersome that his sight is limited to only his left eye and even when using his power, it gives him a headache.
* Optimistic and pessimistic mindsets- Expecting good or bad results most of the time can cloud one's judgement and thought process. That's why Marco expects the most realistic result, but still is ready for surprising outcomes.[/ul]
Extras: Marco has the habit of addressing himself as a peasant when compared to other people with powers, who's powers are more destructive and such.
Something among the lines of; "A peasant like me, who can dodge and balance a bit, might not be able destroy buildings with a huge blast or stand after an explosion, but I do have enough tricks up my sleeve <3".

History
Family Members/guardians:
* Bertram Raskoph // Grandfather - Alive, In contact
* Agnes Bauers // Mother - Alive, Not in contact
* Emil Bauers // Father - Deceased
History: Marco was born on April 1st in Hamburg, Germany to the young Bauers couple two weeks earlier than estimated , which just seemed like a bad joke based on the date. Despite the bit early birth, the couple welcomed their newborn son with open arms and love.
Raising their son with love and care, the couple did good as parents and were happy, but that didn't in the end last too long, as Emil, while on his way to work, ended up in a car accident and deceased while he was being taken to the hospital due to his severe injuries. With the now widowed Agnes and fatherless, three year old Marco life having to live on the income of one, hardships begun to show up both economically and emotionally.
This kept on going for three years and in the end Agnes' stress built up too much, making her unable to take it anymore and Agnes turned to the help of her father, leaving Marco in the old man's care and go try to fix her life. Marco's grandfather, Bertram, was a man who had retired from the army and spent his retirement, living in an unspecified location in West Germany and just working on a smaller farm, so of course he was bit reluctant taking Marco. The geezer enjoyed his solitude and quiet, but in the end he just couldn't say no to his own daughter.
Marco himself was also at first hurt by his mother's actions and vented out his anger towards his grandfather with temper tantrums, but Bertram never took that and showed Marco his place with a bonk on the head and some specific punishment, that included working in the farm. Of course as time did pass, Marco became attached to his own grandfather and didn't mind what his mother had done.
Bertram was an intelligent man, who knew plenty of stuff and was even able to teach his grandson all by himself through some resources, so Marco always was on the same level of education that most children of his age were. Besides teaching basic school stuff, the old man didn't want his grandson to be just some bookworm, so he whipped the boy to shape through daily exercises and jobs around the farm, making Marco very fit and healthy physically. Plus he may have thought a couple of tricks from the army that he maybe shouldn't have.
With even more years passing and the two living peacefully in the small farm, one day out of nowhere, 14 year old Marco's right eye changed in color and started glowing weak yellow light. To add to that everything he saw with that eye was distorted and messed up in color, causing him incredible head ache and in the end with the young boy losing consciousness 39 seconds after his eye changed. The next thing that happened was Marco waking up in some kind of special hospital and the teenager's body felt incredibly strange to himself for whatever reason.
The hospital he had woken up in was some sort of facility in Germany that where other people, most being around his age, had also had very strange things happening to them and they all had gained some sort of powers, with Marco not being an exception. This was all told to him by some man, who introduced himself as his grandfather's friend and as he did tell him this Marco could see a blue T above the man's head every time he out of curiosity opened his eye to test seeing with it. In the very end, Marco ended up staying in facility for the next month to test out what powers he might've gained and proved to have both dexterity and reflexes standing high above that of a normal human and even an eye that could tell if a person was lying or telling the truth.
With the month having passed, Marco was told about the Ashford project and that they were offering the young man a position in the Prefects if he will willingly go to the Ashford Academy. Marco didn't know what to think about this and questioned what would happen if he'd say 'no'. The answer given to him was straightforward, telling Marco that he'd otherwise be dragged to Ashford forcefully and kept there trough violent ways. You can guess that taking the Prefect position sounded so much more tempting to Marco and the boy reluctantly agreed to the offer.
With four years as a Prefect, Marco hasn't really stood out too much, with him mostly known as a rather lazy and joking person in the ranks of Prefects. He hasn't really instilled fear or anything on students of opposite factions either, with him being seen pretty much as your run of the mill Prefect member. At best the only thing that most people would know about him and that would make Marco stand out, would be his perverted nature, crude manners and way of speaking

RP Sample: After the rush of playing the violin intensely close to 50 minutes, Jami just sat on his bed, bow on his left hand and the violin now resting on his lap. This 50 minutes of escaping reality was the best the young Finn had had in a while and even though he seemed a bit exhausted, a smile, brimming with satisfaction was glued to his face.
He remained there, staring at the wooden piece that he loves so much, till Jami noticed that his throat was rather dry and he had a craving for something to munch on.
"I think I still had a package of salt crackers left in the kitchen," he stated his thoughts out loud, though there wasn't any real point to it, as Jami was the only one living in the room at the moment.
For no specific reason, Jami stayed in his place for 2 minutes and carefully placed his bow and violin on the bed, getting up from it afterwards. The Finn walked across the room and as he opened up the door, he waved his hand in a rather lax manner. To who you may ask? I don't know and neither was he absolutely sure.To his violin perhaps?
