APPEARANCE
He has jet black hair, the sides and back of which are razor faded while his long wavy top is styled forward hanging over his lean face with defined cheek bones and a chiseled jawline. Looking with dark brown hooded eyes set deep within their sockets but spaced evenly apart, sitting below thick and angled eyebrows. His broad but slightly flat nose placed above his thin lips, which when he opens reveals a set of perfect white teeth. A beauty mark under his right eye distinctly stands out to the rest of his clear face.

Marshall stands 5' 11" tall and as far as his attire goes he prefers to keep it casual, wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans. His shoes are black and white Jordan retro 6, the upper is a combination of leather and synthetics with perforated details and sleek designs throughout while the sole is comprised of solid and translucent rubber with a unique traction pattern for performance and style. He dons a black hoodie for warmth if it is bit chilly outside, rarely does he put his hood up unless it is raining.

PERSONALITY
Marshall is not an easy person to describe for he can shift between being a serious person or somebody who is completely laid back, but if nothing else you should know he's mostly gentle and companionably. Of course he's also farsighted, playful and can be patient, but in smaller doses and they're often spoiled by habits of being insincere as well. His gentleness is however his most prevalent trait as he is kind to almost everybody he meets. People often count on his kindness whenever they need cheering up. However nobody's perfect of course and Marshall has less then pleasant traits as well. His deceitful ways and irritable nature aren't exactly fun to deal with and may cause unintentional problems for others which he would be quick to dismiss as he was playing around unless he can clearly tell if what he did seriously distressed somebody.

BIOGRAPHY
Lancashire, England
March 2, 1998

The sky was tar black and large grey clouds loomed overhead, rain begins to fall and at first very slowly before swiftly becoming heavier and heavier. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier. There was to be no person in sight and if not for the illumination provided by the night lamp posts along the streets it would be as if the area was abandoned as there was no sound except the pitter patter of the rain which has now begun to settle down. However the silence was abruptly put to an end by the cries of a baby no more then a couple months old. A young woman golden brown hair opens the door and gasps in surprise before gently picking up the baby, she anxiously looks around the empty street in search before closing the door behind her after not finding what she was looking for.

Years Later

Marshall always knew he was different and not in the "Hey I was actually adopted sort of way" no from a young age Marshall could tell he was special and different from the other kids of his age, this all came about when one day he suddenly moved the tv remote with his mind levitating it to the palms of his hands as he was too lazy to actually get up and walk, at first he did as a joke like what kids would do before eventually giving up and just getting up but it actually worked is what Marshall thought at that moment. Clearly any young child would be excited if they learned that they had superpowers like the heroes on the tv and how much the temptation to brag about it was very hard to resist. In fact so much so was it tempting that Marshall failed to resist and ran towards his parents screaming attempting to gain their attention. However their reaction when he told and demonstrated his powers was not what he expected them to be, he didn't know what he had been expecting. Perhaps he imagined them to be as excited as he was, but instead that theirs expression were more like of parents who just found out their child caught some sort of incurable disease. Suffice it to say although Marshall would never display his powers out in public in the future from that day on, he would secretly train to control it and use it for menial tasks. Having moved to Metropolis to join The Sentinels of Magic when he became 18 he hopes to learn how to truly control his gifts and use it for others.

GOALS
He believes that he is destined for something greater and that he should use his gifts to help others, like the heroes he aspired to be as a child.

ABILITIES
Magic/Sorcery:
Marshall carries a magical birthright within his blood for he is a Homo Magi which is a sub race of naturally magic wielding humans. Although Marshall is naturally adept in the use of magic, he has not been given any formal training on the subject and as such most of his magic mostly comes off as being either uncontrollable, unstable or simply not having the desired effect. To cast a spell, the sorcerer requires a source of magical energy. These sources can include internal reserves (which Marshall himself uses), mystical beings, alternate dimensions, or from their surroundings, supposedly from thin air.
Magic Detection:
Marshall can sense the presence of magic/magical energies and possibly gain detailed understanding about the magic/magical energies he is sensing, including the amount/size of matter/energy he is sensing and whether it is hidden.

Limitations

  • Requires concentration to determine the location of magic.
  • Unable to determine location of cloaked magical energy sources.
  • Maximum range of 100 meters.
Basic Level, Telekinesis:
Marshall can influence/manipulate/move objects/matter with his mind. This differs from normal telekinesis but not by much, Marshall requires the usage of magic anything that would otherwise make him unable to use magic also leaves him unable to use telekinesis.

Applications

  • Binding: To keep object/being from moving.
  • Levitation: To lift an object
  • Telekinetic Choking: To strangle others.
  • Telekinetic Grip: To grasp an object firmly in place
  • Telekinetic Maneuver: To alter an object's directional course
  • Telekinetic Pull/Push: To pull objects towards the user or to push objects away
Limitations

  • Beings or objects immune to telekinesis.
  • Only capable of moving objects Marshall could physically move.
  • Must be within Marshall's line of sight.
  • Capable of only manipulating four objects at any point in time.
Magic Projection:
Marshall can release/use magic to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc., from huge rays of pure magical energy that can knock over or even obliterate dozens of targets, or slightly singe them.

Applications

  • Magic Bolt Projection: Project low powered projectiles of magical energy.
  • Magic Reflective Bolt Projection: Project non lethal projectiles of magical energy that can bounce off of virtually any surface.
  • Magic Beam Emission: Emit potent beam composed of concentrated magical energy.
Limitations

  • Marshall is not immune to effects of his own blast.
  • Will become exhausted when too much energy is used.
  • May be over-charged/wounded if too much energy is used at once.
  • Requires control to avoid unnecessary destruction.
Force Field Generation:
Marshall can create a shield, wall, or a field to protect themselves. The field is formed using magical energy. Force-fields aren't usually impenetrable and can be removed by energy drain or extreme force. Some users are also able to throw shields away from themselves or to catch things with them, while other users may be able to create them into any shape.

Limitations


  • Limited dimension of 5x5x5 meters
  • Unable to maintain barriers under stress.
  • Requires concentration.
  • Airtight barriers may cause asphyxiation from prolonged use.
