Theme Song: Finch's Theme

PC
Name: Marcel Kaiser (Or Zombie Boy)
Age: 17 (Junior I think!)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight (though Untested)
Race: Human with a Dark Soul.

Appearance:
Marcel used to be slightly overweight, pale, short, and have a goofy haircut. Since his troubles as a bully magnet, Marcel has gained height, tanned, lost weight, put on muscle, grown his hair out, and started slicking it back. He's hardly the person he was a few years ago. Now, he is a lean fighting machine, weighing in at about 78 kg (170 lbs I think). Marcel has long brown-black hair that is typically greased back now. He has a series of scars down his spine from surgery when he first discovered his abilities to heal from nearly any injury. He typically prefers hoodies or unzipped jackets and jeans. Though he does wear shorts sometimes.

Known Abilities:
-The abilities Marcel currently knows he has

Dark Soul:
Marcel contains a Dark Soul, an extremely rare variant of a soul. In terms of nuclear physics, Marcel's Dark Soul, compared to the average soul, is the equivalent of a black hole compared to a star. Marcel's Dark Soul is extremely heavy and seems to be quite attractive to spirits.

Inhuman Healing:
Marcel is inhumanly resistant to death and injury as a result of his healing factor. Marcel heals rapidly from injury, and Marcel does not die from even severe injury. Just about any wound, from lacerations to broken bones, will heal as long as Marcel is in one piece. However, severe injuries may not heal entirely. Injuries that remove portions of Marcel's body are not able to be repaired without reattaching them.

Passive Field of Effects:
The dead attracted to Marcel may interact with the environment around Marcel. This interferes with nearby electronics and may exert force on anything around Marcel. As a result, Marcel may appear as static on digital recordings, both audio and visual. Other digital devices such as phones behave oddly at times as well. This effect becomes more pronounced when Marcel is agitated.

Altered Senses:
As a result of Marcel's severe nerve damage, which coincided with his abilities' appearance, Marcel does not feel as much pain as he once did. Alongside his decreased pain response, Marcel also has an altered sense of temperature, taste, and smell. In the future, this nerve damage might lead to neurological issues like seizures or tremors.

Increased Stamina:
With an increased exercise compared to most individuals, Marcel has above average stamina.

Spirit Awareness:
The spirits that are attracted to Marcel are capable of communicating with him. These spirits often tell Marcel things about those around Marcel or about his environment. This interaction was believed to be hallucinations by his parents and doctors following Marcel's incident.

Spirit Absorption:
The spirits of the Dead are attracted to Marcel and fall into his soul. The spirits do so willingly, but their motive is unclear. Marcel believes they do it so that they can actually die, so that they can actually rest. This absorption may be the reason for Marcel's deathlessness.

Unknown Abilities:
-Abilities Marcel does not yet know he has

Magic Resistance:
Marcel has yet to discover his resistance to magic. This is due to his negligible contact with magical constructs or attacks. Like how Marcel's Dark Souls absorbs souls, the Dark Soul also absorbs magic.

Soul/Life Absorption:
Marcel's Dark Soul is not yet massive enough to draw souls or life from living beings. Eventually, Marcel may be able to drain energy from living things, or he might end up doing so passively.

Control of Dead:
Marcel currently has a limited ability to effect the dead. The Dead can contact him well enough, but Marcel typically cannot reciprocate. Only through great agitation can Marcel currently get them to do what he wants. Eventually, however, Marcel may be able to control or interact with them directly and willfully.

Personality:
Marcel has taken on a grim and angry outlook, preferring to be bold and deal with the consequences at a later date. That is not to say that Marcel is cruel, just typically unforgiving in his actions. He took on the mantle of avenger back at his old school, but mostly to bullies. Of course, he got in trouble for this a lot more than the original ne'er-do-wells. Marcel has become independent in his latter years, but is starting to soften up again with a change in scenery and a lack of painful memories, as well as help from others.

Backstory:

Marcel was a shy, unassuming kid that all the girls ignored. He was picked on for his stature and body conformation since he was a kid. In Ninth Grade, Marcel was sitting at the top of an unused slide during free hour at his school, sulking. The cruel members of society thought it would be fun to harass the poor boy after pinning him in a corner. Needless to say, it didn't end well and Marcel ended up being pushed off the slide and fell nearly five meters to the ground, receiving several fatal spinal injuries as a result.

That is when his regenerative abilities first manifested. For a currently unknown reason, Marcel's soul collapsed into a Dark Soul, possibly due to interaction between a spirit and Marcel's own soul. Marcel was rushed to the hospital where he underwent emergency spinal surgery. It turns out that he didn't need it, as Marcel healed to functionality in only a few weeks. The doctors were astounded and his parents were terrified but overjoyed. Marcel never regained full sensation, but his motor functions are back to full use.

After his incident, Marcel's treatment only worsened. Most people avoided Marcel, and those that didn't either ignored him or encouraged his torment. Marcel was even more depressed for a while, but eventually, Marcel decided to be angry instead. Marcel worked day and night to make it so they could never bother him again. The changes were slow at first, but eventually, Marcel made a difference.

Marcel then went on his own reign of terror. Using his intelligence, newfound physicality, and spiritual awareness, Marcel successfully tormented those that had ruined his childhood. Through chemical, physical, and mental means, Marcel punished his fellow peers for nearly a year. He damaged several buildings, crippled a few vehicles, broke a football player's knee with a pipe, and utilized several varieties of stink bomb or chemicals to harass people.

Some time into Marcel's reign of pain, some folks representing a government dropped by to pay Marcel's parents a visit. The two agents came from a world of unseen wonders. The parents eventually agreed to give Marcel a "fresh chance" at a school for those with strange and unusual abilities and lives.

Marcel did not think much of the new opportunity at first, but as time went on, the idea grew on Marcel. He could decide to be something other than angry. Marcel has gotten away from everything he hated and is making a new life for himself.

Additions: After his accident, when the dead began to act up around Marcel, only he really noticed because the effect was subtle at first. Marcel was taken to therapists and doctors and most of them decided that Marcel was having Audio Hallucinations, but whether it was from his injury or something pre-existing, they couldn't tell. His Hallucinations and rapid personality changes prompted Psychiatric treatment, which mostly made the problem worse in Marcel's case.

Family:

Richard Kaiser
Father of Marcel, Richard was adopted by his current parents in the sixties in Germany immediately before they immigrated to the United States. Conflicts in east and west Berlin led to his separation from his parents as a child. He was adopted by Marko and Gina Scarlett, Marcel's Grandparents, who had their own children already; Johan, Astrid, and Isabelle. As an adult in the United States, Richard decided to use his original surname rather than Scarlett.

Richard is a civil attorney.

Johan Scarlett

Uncle to Marcel, Johan, also known as John or Joe, is the Brother to Richard Kaiser. Johan has played a strong disciplinary role in Marcel's early life and has continued to be a strong moral guide in Marcel's teen years. Johan and Richard are not exactly the greatest of allies due to different views, but Marcel has been allowed to contact him regardless. Due to having left Germany at a young age, and having lived in the South for much of his life, Johan has developed an unusual accent consisting of both German and Southern American dialects.

Johan is the individual whose information led to the contacting of Marcel's parents to the existence of the school. Whether Johan knows of the specifics or not will have to be seen.

Johan is a Father, a priest of a Catholic church. So, Father Johan Scarlett.


Other:

For some reason, Marcel likes under-ripe strawberries.
