Appearance:
Mark is a very free spirited soul he doesn’t like constraints and this is shown in his personal appearance he looks unkempt, not disgustingly so, but like he really doesn’t care and simply comes the way he is. He wears comfy open clothing, and has messy looking hair.
Hair Color: Blonde
Skin Tone: Tanned
Height: 6”2’
Weight: 182lbs.

Personality:
Mark is a laid back individual; his common catch phrase is “It will all work itself out”. He is lazy and almost laze fair, allowing his crew their own style and space. He often can be found lounging about listening to the crashing of the ocean, or joking with the other members of his crew. He is quick to laugh and always loves a good joke or rowdy song, he is slow to anger, but once riled can carry on like a tempest for days without stopping. Mark wears his heart on his sleeve, so he will usually always say what’s on his mind and never hides how he is feeling. He loves his friends and would gladly give his life to save theirs, but is usually smart enough to usually slip away before it becomes necessary.  Mark loves the sea and wants nothing more than to sail it forever.
Likes:
-The Ocean: he grew up under the waves and loves the new view, while he was below it the ocean seemed dark and isolative, but to ride upon them he gained his first understanding of the freedom of the seas.
-Music: it often reminds him of home, and then the new adventures that lie ahead for him.
-Fighting: he loves the thrill of battle, since he was young and couldn’t go play with the other fish/mer-children; he threw himself into his study of martial arts with his step-father/master.
-Alcohol: underage… yes; can’t have fun… says who?
Dislikes:
-Enclosed Spaces: Having felt isolated through his whole life, he wants nothing more than to get away from all that.
-Darkness: although he can see in the dark, he hates how it makes him feel alone again.
-Arguing: he feels that the act of shouting and whining simply takes up to much breath so he believes that it is better to simply speak with his actions, and duke it out.
Motivations:
-Adventure & Freedom: As a Sea-Born he was isolated and contained within the Fishman Island. He finally felt free once he stowed away and found the sky above, now all he wants to do is keep running.
Fears:
-Stagnancy: he can’t stand the ever monotonous routine, he suffers severe wanderlust and need to continuously move on, even if its someplace he’s been before he loves to see change and what has happened since their departure.
-Loss: this can be explained by his all to open nature when he loses something he cares for he can barely handle it, and thus aims to never let it happen.
-Failure: to fail and still have to deal with the consequences is a concept he learned when his father died at the hands of the marines he had worked so hard for.
Behavior/Habits:
Mark is neurotic for his practice, he normally does it by doing kata’s on water, it almost looks surfing, and he then pulls the boat swimming. After this his entire routine falls apart, normally with laughs and singing. Anytime he isn’t with the crew you can find him in the crow’s nest on a hammock listening to the waves. He is never a hidden individual and almost always says what’s on his mind. Whether it’s to a marine or a fellow pirate, Mark picks fights and will almost always laugh it off later. He has a strict code of honor and tries his best not to ever be coerced into a fight.
History:
Mark was born in the light of the tree Eve, born to the love of a marine family. He grew up in relative bliss with his mother, his father often gone on assignment was a gift to have at home, but all the same he loved his dad. When Mark turned 7 years old his father came home on a leave of absence due to illness and in a delirious state told his son of the countless experiments that had been done to him, through his entire term of service. He was shocked at this revelation and became certain that his father’s sickness was due to these studies. His dad died 4 months after, Mark never revealed what he had learned to his mother, and it has been one of the only secrets he’s ever kept from her. At around this time Mark began to feel the concept of his isolation having the other children truly taunt him for his lack of fin or scales. He grew to hate the island that he couldn't leave and curse all the brats who could swim as they wish with their gills, he never hated them, but he simply grew jealous of there “gifts”. Two years after Mark’s mother remarried the head of the local Fishmen karate dojo, and although he was a kind and considerate man Mark never quite got over the loss of his dad. He studied under his step-father diligently since he was unable to participate in the games of the other kids; he quickly rose in rank and won several tournaments, at the age of 17 he finally took to heart the tales of the sky, and the sea above. He dreamed of its splendor and majesty until recently he stowed away on a merchant vessel and took off to the new adventure above.
