STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Describe in moderate detail the strengths and weaknesses of your character.

Weaknesses:

1) Big Dark Secret. Marcus' past holds a rather crucial secret, one that would be damaging to his career and personal life were it to come to light.

2) Aquatic/Planetary Warfare. Marcus' emphasis on spatial combat tactics and history has stunted his expertise growth in the fields of planetary and aquatic combat operations. As a result, he relies heavily on advisors from the Army in the development of effective tactics, making him a poor choice for the oversight of such operations. He sticks to the space Navy, it's where he belongs.

Strengths:

1) Education. Marcus is highly educated and well versed in his respective fields of Intelligence, Military Politics, and Naval Operation. He speaks three languages: Basic, Mando'a, and Rodian.

2) Experience. Marcus has nearly 20 years of experience under his belt, giving him the knowledge necessary to excel and innovate in his field.


APPEARANCE:
Marcus is in exceptional physical condition as shaped by his recent years as a field operative in Republic Intelligence and Espionage. He stands at just over 2 meters tall, with a notable musculature. As a Naval Officer, he remains clean-shaven, with close cropped hair. His typical outfit consists of a standard Admiral's uniform, though during administrative or field work he dons simpler, but elegant suits. Often he wears a DL-model blaster pistol at his hip.


BIOGRAPHY:

Born on Anaxes, to a Republic war veteran and a software engineer, Marcus began life under the umbrella of Republic society in the poor districts of Pols Anaxes. He struggled through the corroded public education system, driven by his parents to succeed and excel, eventually garnering acceptance to the Republic Naval War College.

After university, Marcus enlisted in the Republic Navy, serving as a Lieutenant on a Republic-class Star Destroyer for the early years of his career. Eventually, he was promoted to Captain, and transferred to work in Intelligence in the years before the One Sith invasion of Coruscant. In the midst of a beleaguered Republic, Marcus's work as an analyst, leading an Intelligence Cell in the Outer Rim, brought him back to the core of the Republic, seating him in a position within GRIM, the Republic's Intelligence Ministry. There, he worked for several years as a field operative, conducting espionage operations throughout Sith, Republic, and Mandalorian space alike.
After the Roche Incident, during which Supreme Commander Ali Hadrix, former GRIM Director, was exiled from the Republic, Marcus returned to his work as a Naval Officer. There, he found satisfaction at the bridge of another Republic-class Star Destroyer within the Navy's Home Fleet. Some time later, he was elevated to the rank of Rear Admiral, where he served as a Task Force Commander.
