personality.
Marxis has a very loud, distinct presence. He carries himself with watchful intensity, carefully absorbing the details around him and assembling them to properly diagnose opportunities from closed doors. Of course, no one can maintain such an obsessive watch without becoming unbalanced, so he has also grown into a tendency to cut his thoughts adrift and relax when he's in a 'safe' zone. A tendency that can be perplexing to anyone who is trying to talk to him. He has an expressive voice that becomes powerful when he is inspired and driven to a cause. It is the kind of voice that could lead a movement, as he has been told numerous times by his colleagues. All of this makes him someone whose passion can make him as mesmerizing as a fire on a cold winter's day...to someone who agrees with him. All other people are likely to feel overwhelmed and threatened. He believes in things like uprisings and the counter-culture. It is only because he has learned to pour much of this energy into his art that he is bearable as a general rule.
don't worry all of these scroll
history.
Marxis grew up poor, raised by a young mother who would have rather been doing something else and resented his father for being out of the picture. The tensions that resulted remain with him and are the source of much of his intensity. He has been conditioned to suspect that he won't be acknowledged unless his voice is strong and his stance severe. It was only the interference of his grandparents that allowed him to achieve some balance in his adult life. He went to college, moved toward art and then print making, and then joined a political artist collective called Just Seeds. Activists to their core, he and his fellow artists involved themselves in the struggle to deal with the matons. Some weeks into the struggle Marxis found himself on the losing end of a confrontation with one of the homicidal matons. He wound up hospitalized with a collapsed lung and cracked ribs. His middle class grandparents became deeply worried for his continued survival. They had already lost their son, his father, to a head-on collision over a decade ago and so were especially fearful to lose another child. Since it was no longer safe for their activist grandson on the mainland, they sent him to Aegean and paid for everything he would need.
He's not particularly happy about it and now worries about them in turn, but he's weary of the struggle and so allowed them to ship him away. At least until he heals and gets his strength back.
