A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.
A gentleman is a warrior, dormant. He is dangerous and powerful, he has no need to prove that to you, to society, or to himself.
… I warn you, do not provoke him.

MAGIC ITEM: DRAGON TATTOOS
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="http://38.media.tumblr.com/0aa8ef43ae15b19c2a0598eadc02eb6a/tumblr_muno4y2KfT1stkhy4o3_r1_500.gif" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Drac has two dragon tattoos that fill the expanse of his inner forearms.
They are illusions constructs. With spell components mixed into the tattoo ink and then mixed with Marcus' blood, he can 'tap' the dragons and moderately control them for 4 minutes before they revert
back into his skin and can not be used for another four hours.</p>
</div>

<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
ABILITY: IMMUNE TO FIRE
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/1c/ec/361cec2401d39997d904950408830b73.gif" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Being a fire elemental, Marcus is immune to fire and heat of all forms. He can even draw fire about his body much like armor or a shield of flame and heat that can be as hot as a typical fire or hot blue depending on the intensity of his mood.</p>
</div>
</details>
<details style="background:#a01803;">
<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
ABILITY: BURNING UP
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1407204590ra/10655557.gif" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">This is neither a true ability nor is it a drawback but
Marcus naturally runs hotter than the average human or witch. Because of his masked/dampened powers and this extra body heat, Marcus can be confused as a shifter upon a witch's initial and basic observations. Vampires, older Fae, and Shifters would know by scent/sight that Marcus is not.</p>
</div>
</details>
<details style="background:#991703;">
<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
ABILITY: THE CRAFT
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="https://secure.static.tumblr.com/aa953b4ffea21eb108a90a55e3667017/jfxxuix/REfnsckgu/tumblr_static_3pnv4ab1jnqc4o0skcgsw4oo0_640_v2.jpg" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Just because Marcus is a fire elemental doesn't mean that he isn't foremost a witch. He has been conditioned and trained as a
witch since he could speak. He got particularly good at imbuing objects with abilities, wards, or charms. It would take him little to no effort to displace some of his power into an item (example a stone) and keep it around for a rainy day. Marcus dabbles in more murky waters of the craft as white arts never came naturally to him.<br><br>
<b>DRAWBACK:</b><br>
<small> <b>He can not infuse his elemental
abilities into an object for another person.</b> </p>
</div>
</details>
<details style="background:#991703;">
<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
MAGIC ITEM: SCRIPT TATTOOS
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="https://nextluxury.com/wp-content/uploads/masculine-script-tattoo-on-male-with-black-ink-on-upper-chest.jpg" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Much like Marcus' dragon tattoos, he has two latin script incantations mixed into his various tattoos by a witch that specialized in masking powers or individuals. Mixed with spell items into the ink and then married into his blood, via tattooing, it is harder to 'read' Drac's power.</p>
</div>
</details>
<details style="background:#931602;">
<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
ABILITY: FIRE MANIPULATION
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f6/f2/ae/f6f2ae2c36ba832c80d0a27e53e4ce4a.gif" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Marcus can manipulate living fire. He can even redirect flames or will it into different shapes if he sees fit. In fact, the more he works
with the element, the more control and manipulation over any type of flame or heat he theoretically has. Even to the point, upon mastering, he could
even ignite a fire from nothing at the molecular level.</p>
</div>
</details>
<details style="background:#8c1502;">
<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
ABILITY: FIRE BREATHING
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="http://www.kismetgirls.com/arabian_tents/arabian_tents_images/Fire-Breathing-Events-Entertainers-Juggling-Flame-Throwing.jpg" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Like any dragon worth its weight, a fire elemental can call the fire within them and either purge it from their hands, mouth or both with enough mastery. Marcus has the ability to purge it, prolong, and direct the flames from his mouth. </p>
</div>
</details>
<details style="background:#821302;">
<summary style="padding:30px 20px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);cursor:pointer;color:#fff;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:3px;font-weight:bold;">
DRAWBACK: SENSITIVE TO COLD
</summary>
<div style="padding:20px;background:#21201e;">
<center><img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/qwBsLN2lyEX3q/giphy.gif" width="250px;"></center>
<p align="justify">Just because Marcus is a fire elemental doesn't mean he has nothing to fear involving his mortality and being a witch. Drac is
deeply susceptible to the cold. Though naturally running hotter than the average person or witch, he can't fight off the winter elements. Snow and below-freezing temperatures touching bare skin can produce
early signs of frostbite when in contact with a short period of time. The longer Marcus is out within the winter elements and not THOROUGHLY protected, frostbite will set in the expose area and then
<i>spread</i> aggressively. </p>

Marcus is a man quietly contained. A John Wayne kind of man that doesn't think he's the settling down type and doesn't see the point of complaining about his issues in life. They're no ones' business. What the fuck did he need to share his feelings for? They were his own and if they were completely prudent to a situation or conversation, he'd share them. Being a strong-willed man, and part of the corps for over twenty years means that he's comfortable taking leadership positions. He will not take it upon himself if rank is already established, nor step on toes, but if there is a need or a vacuum created, Marcus is that man to step in and fix the problem. <br><br>
When he had been a young man, Marcus had a short fuse; but now that he's older he's typically mellow like embers in a bed of coals. That being said, if the witch's temper is stoked, its a hungry and unforgiving fire that will not stop until it has taken all the air out of its target. That aside, Marcus is flirtatious and soft-spoken man when actually moved to talk. There is a biting wit smouldering under the thick surface. One just has to get Marcus there for a whole other side to be seen. Marcus has expensive tastes. He likes fine tailored suits (when it's called for), high-end bourbons, and fine cigars.

Marcus came from strong parentage. His mother made it a point of hers while tucked away within the Cirque Nocturne in the early 70s. Having become a witch of a certain age, Marcus' mother had decided it was time and her duty to procreate with the strongest and most willing warlock she could find. Being attractive and spirited, it hadn't been that difficult. It was the 70s, after all, the height of free love and all that. There might have been a coven orgy or two at some point. Possibly. Her time working as a Fire Breather at the Cirque Nocturne got hazier and hazier as the years went by. So did the fast and loose stories she used to craft for Marcus who had been no more than four by the time his mother had decided not to renew her contract and fled back to England with quite a hurry. <br><br>
This was the formative years of Marcus' life, nothing but travel throughout the UK and Europe as the erratic and chaotic woman that was Marcus' mother couldn't keep herself to one coven but still desperately craved the community and power source it provided. Marcus grew up watching a witch that threw her magic around to get what she wanted at the expense of everyone including her own son. Hunters had been tracking them both and finally had caught up with them.<br><br>
During their times in Italy, Marcus had been kidnapped. The Hunters used him as bait for his mother. Barely a pre-teen, the Hunters had known about his mother's powers and prepared to counter hers but hadn't been aware of his. They just had known he could throw little illusions about but with varying success. It was Marcus' fear and anger that got him out of that situation as he proceeded to light the Hunters on fire, one by one. Lighting them up from the inside out or by fire erupting from his mouth. He could walk through the fire and none of it would touch him, even bent to his will. His mother showed up to see the ending. To see young Marcus walk from out of the fire, clothing half burnt off of him and black with soot. She had burst into tears, pulled his smokey self into her, and expressed how revealed and proud she was. That now his elemental powers had finally presented that his training would shift and be more intense. Marcus swore to her that he'd never be what she wanted and had no interest in learning this power by her. <br><br>
The encounter and his words caused a large rift between mother and son; and as a result, Marcus was sent back to the US to live with cousins. Cousins that had very mild manifestations of their genetic trait, if at all and their speciality had been about control. Marcus worked hard to carve something out of what illusion talents he had while living in the wildlands of Montana. The Wallace cousins owned a horse ranch and from eleven and on Marcus learnt more than just human education and a defensive/control based type of magic. He also learned the business of ranch handling, guns, and a bit of knife throwing for a bit of fun. Marcus grew up living like a Western Redneck 'with a funny accent' as many of his classmates would joke over the years. By the time he got into a local high school, the thick South London accident had softened to a rumble low that a lot of girls deeply appreciated.
The culture shock, homorones, and the own brand of his elemental magic made for Marcus to go through an ultra-aggressive and volatile streak in his teenaged years. Though he had seen the chaos within his mother and been repealed by it, the witch discovered it wasn't as easy to temper his base nature as he thought. Binge drinking, violent fights, juvie arrests, and a good deal of fucking around. <br><br>
At some point, Marcus' uncle had enough after one more arrest of 'a minor in a drunk brawl' and told him when he turned eighteen he was out of the house. That the house wouldn't recognize him as a family and he'd better think of something else. The talk had been two weeks before Marcus' eighteenth birthday. Besides going to his mother for help, angry and impulsive young Marcus went down to the local recruiter's office and enlisted into the Marines. His uncle signed what forms were needed and it was done. Duel citizen Marcus was US property. <br><br>
In hindsight, basic was exactly that Marcus needed. The Marines did what it did best, it broke the witch down and built him back up into a better version of himself. His career within the military went along smoothly as he lived a relatively normal life. Then Afghanistan happened. <br><br>
Marcus' unit first deployed for eighteen bloody months. He watched as members of his units got blown up by dirty car bombs or by suicide attacks. He had to kill more women and children then the witch ever wanted to admit to anyone else because so many picked up guns to shoot against them. After the fighting, another tour was meant to keep the peace. To protect the people after the fallout and give them aid. The people took their aid happily but wanted US soldiers to get the hell out. More of his unit died in that time of 'peace' than within the initial 'war'. <br><br>
One day, his unit was attached to a cavalry unit caravanning aid to another city being onslaught by rebel militia. The convoy was attacked. A rocket struck the hummer he had been in, killing everyone instantly but himself where the hummer toppled over and kept him pinned within with the rest of the chard or burning bodies. Helplessly, Marcus had to watch from upside down as the rest of the convoy, his unit, took on fire and ultimately were overpowered by armour-piercing guns mounted on the beds of pickup trucks and rocket launchers. Two units dead in the sandy waters. <br><br>
Every man has a boiling point and this event had been that point. <br><br>
Rolling with so much rage, when the enemy found him trapped among the dead, as they went to loot the cars, they pulled him out yelling and laughing all at once. They weren't laughing for much longer as flames erupted from his mouth with a roar and lit the closest man on fire in all his robes. Surprise confusion was the only thing that saved Marcus from being mowed down by the guns. There was screaming, gunfire, the stench of boiling and burning flesh. The word 'Dragon! Dragon!' in Arabic feel from the mens' lips as they tried to defend themselves from Marcus. In the end, ten more bodies littered the sand burnt and shot while the witch stood among them trying to control the fire within him. <br><br>
Somehow he made it back to base. They tried to get detail information from out of him but they got a sketchy story at best. They marked it off as trauma and ordered for him to be honourably discharged back to the US with a handshake of a job well done and a medal. Once his feet touched down on US soil, Marcus disappeared. He travelled for some time, making nowhere his home. It was a stop at some unimportant city that Marcus felt the magical pull of the Cirque Nocturne as sure as a mortal man feels the pull from a Siren.<br><br>
That had been more than a year ago that felt like a lifetime. Disaster had struck, the employees dissolved of their contracts, and the gates closed to them. It had been a troublesome experience in the end but a rather valuable one. Marcus did not leave those gates alone. With his temptress Elia, partner in every crime, in arm, the two did not travel far to plant new deep and twisting roots. Settling into the old and powerful French Quarter, the two opened up a speakeasy named Nevermore. <br><br>
It peddled the typical in a dark flare of ambience to the tourists but the underline was so much more. Elia, being the rare dark gem that she as, was troublesome for the Covens but Marcus with his handsome smile and less troublesome power and bloodline, he was received a bit better among the covens. Foolishly they let a smiling wolf in who worked hard to entreat business. And business did he receive. Business of the magical sort was conducted in both between Covens, between other species, and more was granted behind a back door at a hefty price.<br><br>
Previous purveyor of magical items suddenly went mysteriously out of business within New Orleans and both Marcus and Elia were more than happy to provide - along with more darker, dangerous bobbles in their little Black Market enterprise. Their business flourished and the two indulged in their growing power and unconventional domesticity. To a point, Elia even brought home a rather familiar-looking puppy. A puppy that at one point had been a cat when alive. Sad, confused Black Dog that Max was. Marcus conceded that he supposed they could keep the poor, very valuable retch - living in luxury in one of their spare rooms. <br><br>
All was well until on October 30, close to the thinning of the veil, Marcus felt an uncontrollable urge to close his eyes while in the middle of reading a book in bed. When he woke, the ceiling was wrong, the book was gone, and so what the familiar warmth of Elia. There was something slim and cool in his hands that ended up being an iPad the room was the one her had back at Cirque Nocturne. He was livid.
