Name : Marcus Scott Boanerges
Nickname: Mark
Alias: Vertigo
Age: 17
Hobbies: Playing football, skateboarding and snowboarding, writing
music,
playing guitar and other musical instruments, and working out.
Strengths: Intelligent, musically talented, strong-willed, and
faithful.
Weaknesses: Introverted, low confidence especially in areas such as
combat
and heroics, lacks any real combat training, doesn't want to accept the
responsibility of being a Senshi, and his devotion to his spirituality
often
times brings him into conflict with the truth of the events occurring
around
him.
Goals: Get out of high school, getting over his past, maybe falling in
love, and becoming a professional musician or do something musically
related.
Fears: Not being accepted by others of his age group, being engulfed
by his
past, and not becoming the person he wants to be.
Personality: To the outside world Mark appears to be a cold, uncaring young man who could care less of what happens in the outside world unless in some way it pertains to his own personal life. For him the only things that matter are the things important to him. Underneath that façade though is indeed a young teenager filled with warmth and compassion. That is the side of Mark that few see, the side of the sensitive teenager who wants to change the world through his actions. Despite this though many don't look on Mark as being totally heartless in comparison to their classmate Jeremy Satterlee.
Normal Appearance: Mark stands at an average height of 6 feet with a
firm,
muscular build to his physique. His hair is a deep brown which only
serves
to accent his hard blue eyes. In public Mark prefers to wear the
typical
dress style as many teenagers, preferring jeans and t-shirts over
anything
else.
Knight Appearance: As Vertigo Mark wears a black jumpsuit underneath
his
armor. His armor is a royal blue in color and consists of leg guards,
boots, a chest plate, and guaunlets that appear merely to be cloth
wrapped
from his wrist the top of his forearm. His hands are exposed and
uncovered
by either cloth or armor nor is his face obscured by any means save the
Senshi's mystical protection for their identities.
Powers Based On: Sonic Manipulation
Henshin: "Worrrd." (Mark says this and royal blue energy surrounds
him
transforming him into Vertigo.)
Powers
Vertigo: Mark shouts this out and excretes a rough whistling noise
through
his lips that causes vibrations in the inner ears of anyone within a 50
foot
range. These vibrations cause a sense of disorientation as if the room
was
spinning and them along with it making battle more difficult for
others.
The only problem is though that this power effects not only the enemy,
but
also allies and the effects can be decreased a great deal if one is
capable
of closing their eyes. It is also a short term power in the way that
Mark
must continue his whistle to keep up the effect which means on hit can
silence him allowing his victims to recover a minute or so later.
Sonic Assault: This is a powerful sonic wave that soars from his mouth
colliding like a freight train to anyone in its path. Like all sound
though
the force of it is stronger the closer one is to it, only the attack
can
affect multiple opponent if they're lined up correctly. To use this
attack
all Mark must do is concentrate and summon it up and shout anything.
With
time and practice it may even be possible to develop this power into a
more
constant, long-term attack through his singing voice or increase it
through
other means.
Weapon
Deathscythe: A simple weapon similar to a glaive in design but with
two
blades opposite of one another on each end. The weapon itself is
simple
except that it has been enchanted to stand up against other mystic
weapons
for short periods but can be destroyed given time or a strong enough
weapon.
Past History
Mark seems to have no ties to the Silver Millennium or the Senshi. He
was
raised in a very strict and caring home, and although he rebels at
times, he
is fairly close to his parents and siblings- Brad, his father; Jayde,
his
mother; Luke, his younger brother (16), and Kara, his baby sister (15).
He
has always been a good student, and an active person; what some people
would
call a "model child." During the end of his junior year, however, a
tragic
event took place that shattered his world; no one but his family knows
what
happened. Where he was an outgoing, happy, kind person, he fled
inside; the
surrounding darkness embraced him, and gave him a place to hide from
the
pain. Over that summer, he turned into the person that he is now…cold,
quiet and indifferent. His family decided a change might do him good,
so
they planned a move to Tokyo. At the same time, he began to read the
Bible
and try to be the person he wanted to be to deal with it.
Current History
Mark's family moved during the Christmas break of this year to the
suburbs
of Tokyo. Juuban High was close, and Mark's family heard that they had
a
good overall program. Personally, Mark doesn't care, and won't.
