The first thing anyone notices about Marcus is just how short he is, being only 5'5ish he is often mistaken for someone much younger - which isn't helped by his rather immature attitude at times. His other most distinguishing feature, and the thing that has lead to no end of teasing thought-out his life is that his left eye is partly paralyzed from a accident in childhood which has left him with a drooping eyelid giving him a lopsided appearance that he describes as 'wonkey'.
He has reddish brown hair that tends to stick out in all directions. Usually roughly shaven with a slight beard, he has scruffy teeth that don't quite line up right and his' nose is slightly bent from being broken a few times during his teenage years.
Not Hollywood material by any measure Marcus has the sort of whiley figure that can only be chiseled by a healthy diet of junk food, fresh air, hyperactivity and manual labour. He doesn't believe in exercise but loves to fly and play sport - often only with his own style twists like exploding cricket, but is just as likely to slack off in front of the tv instead.
Marcus' style of dress tends to change quite a bit depending on his mood. His clothes range from punkish and rockabilly scruffiness to 'typical' work fare. Usually he wears jeans with the ends turned up, cargo pants, his trademark red sneakers, a leather or green ex-army jacket and band or otherwise amusing tshirts including the original trend-setting 'Pierce is a Prat' tshirt.
On his left wrist he wears a tied strip of leather with hand carved stone with the rune for 'family' matching a identical one that his sister wears around her neck it was given to him for his 32nd birthday and nestled against the underside of his wrist, no matter where he is or what he's doing he never takes it off. - Personality:
-
Often mistaken because of his magic skill and attitude as 'simple' Marcus is a bright if rather immature guy who is strong on loyalty if weak on actual doing what he's told. He's clever, strong with words priding himself on being able to talk his way in, or out of anything. He loves easily but trust and respect are much harder to earn. Having been around the traps so long Marcus prides himself on being a bit of a know it all and the kind to stick his neck out at the slightest provocation.
Marcus is quite mischievous, although trustworthy he often has his own way about doing things and has little respect for authority or law being at heart a bit of an anarchist. He aims to live life to the fullest but at the same time will over think just as often as jump ahead without thinking at all. Despite his outward persona Marcus is still deeply effected by the events of his past making him sensitive to getting hurt emotionally when things go bad. Because of his confinement at the school he's often naive to the outside world yet constantly curious about everything - not always with the best results. - History:
-
Marcus Hobson is the only son of Englishman Richard Hobson, his mother Kate was an Irish bartender at the local tavern who the the middle daughter of a old line of Pure blood witches that had fallen upon bad fortune. Deciding to expand his the family business they married after Richards assurance that Kate was 'of good breeding' and immigrated to Australia, living in a elite gated community of 'pures' where Marcus was born two years later. Marcus was from the first day a disappointment to his father, He was clever but runty and constantly prone to fidget and get into trouble. He was home schooled and at 10 Marcus as a pure blood boy of good standing was sent to Greyhome Academy, where he lasted all of 3 months before failing. After that Marcus was shipped off to Tallygarunga - much to his fathers dismay.
After a bad first year Marcus started to love life at Tally, a Spencer boy in every way possible he was forever getting into mischief and enjoying the freedom of being able to do what he wanted and indulge his curiosity about the muggle world he'd always been sheltered from. Meanwhile at home his mother, long frustrated with his fathers habit of chasing anything in a skirt left, filing for divorce and returning to her native Ireland when Marcus was 13. Marcus has never seen her since. Her father however remarried soon after. Marcus begun to 'act out' in response, drinking, smoking and doing anything to avoid dealing with things at home. Naturally his grades didn't fare well, and at 15 after failing every class his father furious enrolled him in Talsquash Academy of Magic. Marcus refused to leave and in fury his father cursed him that indeed Marcus could never leave the school until he'd passed every class and graduated with full NEWTS - an impossible task.
Marcus was disinherited and removed from the family records, left to 'rot' at the school Alan offered him a job in order to help get him back on his feet, so at 19 he became the school's Caretaker, a job that for better or worse he was actually pretty good at. Over the years he's become a constant fixture in classes working slowly to gain the classes he needs for freedom until 2008 where he only had two to go. Other events changed that as Alan was replaced by Pierce, with the school effectively under the ministers control. Marcus rebelled in order to support his old mate, even going so far as to put forward a protest leading to the entire state school system being shut down for a day. Meanwhile his father had child who was Marcus' half-sister by right, now 14 Chloe unexpectedly followed in her brothers footsteps and ran away, all the way to Tally in the hopes of finding a long lost 'uncle'. Vowing to protect his little sister Chloe's never left since and to their father's knowledge is still at Pentrose.
A few days after Marcus' 31st birthday Alan returned to the school and Marcus having failed his units on technicality, appealed. Free finally he's ever so slowly getting used to the outside world while becoming a full time OWL student at VMU working towards a Bachelor of Magical Education/Potions Degree and Interning at the school in between his usual job.
In addition he's found himself in a 'relationship of sorts' with Rowan Dragonsinger and after helping Molly and 'Big V' with the birth of their son Mak's was given the honour of being the boys Godfather. - Secrets:
- Marcus is well known for his ability to keep secrets, being inquisitive he tends to have a 'talent' for discovering secrets which he will keep just as much as he guards his own - most of the time. To the majority of people Marcus is just 'The Caretaker', most of his past especially the events involving his family are closed kept secrets. The biggest secret of all is that Marcus is in fact the son of a wealthy elitist old pureblood family, something Marcus finds completely shameful! His father Richard Hobson and the fact that Chloe is his sister and not his niece are also 'top secret' for Chloe's safety and his own disgust at his father's actions and purist values. Apart from that there's the usual million minor secrets, he's afraid of rabbits, is a Honorary House Elf, is 31..believe it or not! Wants to be a professor one day, invented the 'ultimate' stinkbomb in his student days and once spent a entire day wearing a school dress after loosing a round of Dare Poker.
- General Knowledge:
- Oh the stories! From flying all the way to Sydney to gatecrashing the first Big Day Out to see Nirvana, accidentally blowing up F3, his school record for detentions, delivering a baby on top of the astronomy tower, to being near throttled to death by immortal maybe-sorta-future father in laws. The more ridiculous the more true it is in the life of one Marcus Hobson. During his 20 years at Tally he's clocked up all sorts of stories from having Silencio the rock band they formed in highschool banned after causing what he describes as 'only a small riot' to having the entire school evacuated for three hours in his second year due to a 'stinkbomb making mishap'. He's renowned for being the kind of guy who'd do anything once, and being able to get away with pretty much anything. It's well known that Marcus is very bad at magic and has been cursed to never step foot off school grounds until he graduated. Also that he is extremely loyal to the school and especially to Alan having masterminded the Save Tally Rally and despite his position being 'houseless' he declares himself as once a Spencer always a Spencer..often at loud volume. He's the boss of Nob the free house elf who works at Tally, has a niece called Chloe in 4th year and is the godfather of Mak's 'Awesome' the son of Molly and Big V and ohoh..is totally and utterly in love with the Rowan Dragonsinger.. oh was that supposed to be a secret? oops too late now! *smirk*
