The Mirror Room
Face Claim: Inigo - Fire Emblem AwakeningAppearance: Marko has filled out to be a respectable man. His shoulders are broad, though they taper to a narrow waist and hips. Gentle ridges of muscle can be felt along his abdomen. Though his arms are thick enough to suggest some strength, it's not obvious. His legs are shapely and more feminine than he'd ever admit to, especially his thighs. Marko's current master requires him to moisturize and keep his hands manicured and there's no callouses to find on his hands or feet. Past masters have done their own damage in scars along his back and upper arms. These are covered at all time and can only be felt when the make up is removed. Marko's nose his just a bit crooked from being broken and there's a very faint scar above his left eye. At one time he was kept chained to the bottom of a stairwell and the scar remains around his right ankle.
Other than these scars, Marko's skin remains pale and smooth. Burning rather than tanning, he opts to stay out of the summer sun and prefers the colder seasons. His clothing is form fitting but easy to remove with bright colors and patterns. Light scarves that appear to defy gravity and float around him are used during his performances to enhance his fluid movements. Marko's slippers have a slightly thicker sole than the other slaves. He keep a small thin knife hidden that his master doesn't know about.
Open and Public
Personality: Marko sees himself as a strong individual buffeted by the winds of adversity, but unbroken. He can take on hardships and change and over come them and survive to see a better day. This is a mere delusion within his own mind. Long ago Marko came to the realization that if he didn't at least imagine a brighter future he was going to kill himself. A bitter truth of being a slave. Sometimes the after life was better than living. Other slaves have told him that it was the easy way out and a true slave would tough it out to see freedom. Marko cowed to them calling him weak and started believing it. He couldn't be weak, and so he pretend his life was better than it was and that he was a stronger man than those around him.
As a young child he was trained in proper etiquette of serving the elite and how to clean. These manners are so ingrained Marko uses sir and ma'am not matter the situation and can change bed sheets in less than a minute. He is proud of his ability to pick up skills rather easily and memorize them. They saved him from many a beatings. Marko quickly learned that he wasn't to speak back to any of his masters or their company. A polite and curtious deminor must be worn at all times. This lead to hiding snide remarks in compliments and flattery. Compliments aren't often considered whole hearted when Marko is involved. There's always something hidden underneath them. Marko is often complimented on his face and body and is proud of his appearance. Under the direction of his master, he will flirt with anything that moves. He has charisma to spare and lays the compliments on thick. Marko has a reputation of getting anyone he wants into bed, and that's one part of his slavery he enjoys.
Despite everything above, Marko is broken. What few large pieces that remain are fractured and cracked like fragile glass, one wrong touch and he will come undone. Highly dependent on his master and their approval, he will do anything he's ordered to and that means anything. It may be demeaning and humiliating but his master is happy. Marko hates changing masters with a passion. Change is never good and the next master is often worst than the one before. There is safety in a routine. Why in world would he look forward to having to learn what is safe and what isn't with a new man holding the other end of his leash? Marko acts brave, and ready to take on the next challenge, but he's ruled by fear and uncertainty. He's like a rabbit. Easily frightened and quick to hide.
The Secret Side of Me
Greatest Desire: . It's a bit petty but to be free and become rich to buy his hearts desires. A significant other wouldn't be bad either he supposes. At least as long as they're rich.Greatest Fear: Being unwanted or not good enough for anyone to use anymore.
Greatest Secret: Along with dancing, he has a beautiful voice if a bit effeminate. He keeps it under tight wraps though and no one should know he can sing.
Out of This World
Pokemon: Marko's top three pokemon types would probably be" Grass, Water, Bug. Of course he needs to get his freedom first. This is His-story
History: Marko has vague recollections of an old wooden house and saving pretty little girls from a garden snake but that's about it. His early childhood is a mystery and he doesn't have a clue who his mother or father are. Marko's first master was an older couple who bought him as a companion for their son. That's all he ever was. Despite Marko's assumption that they might become friends he was treated like a toy and play thing. The other slaves didn't want much to do with him either. The boy grew up fast in his first home. It was a lie when he was told that he would be beaten less because of his young face and boyish charm. His second master was a terrible master and had a thing for physical violence. Masters and Mistresses after that dressed him up in vests and suits to serve and impress their friends. His soft voice and constant compliments won over many women.
With each new master, Marko moved his way down in society. From the homes of the elite, to the middle class that were taking loans to buy yet another slave until he fell into the bottom of the bucket. He had kept his pretty face and pale smooth skin, but he had been cast down for the next generation of young bodies. Marko found himself paraded around the wooden planks of a slave market stage to be sold again. A tall man in a fine suit bought him and it was obvious the man was rich. Perhaps it was Marko's return to the elite and their posh houses and good food. Anything was better than being sold to the mines of the Diamond Kingdom.
It wasn't a return to grace but a fall to the bottom. The man wanted Marko for his body and little else. He was taught to dance in skimpy clothing and perform in front of private sittings of both men and women. It was better than what happened in the seedier parts of town. If the clients paid enough they could touch or even take a performer to bed. It didn't take long until he had regular clients. There was some kinky stuff and he was little more than a toy to them, but Marko had a bed to sleep in and good food to eat. The side benefits weren't to bad either. He repeated these things like a mantra until he started to believe them.
There he stands, telling himself he's content while both wanting a new future but terrified of what it might be.
