Marsden

==Background==
Marsden, though he prefers Mars for short, is a hirse-human hybrid created by Stonerook R&D Co. during the 2002 Hirse Hybridization Studies, and is one of the few successful hirse-humans created by the program. He was released from the Stonerook R&D Co. Hybrid Studies Center & Reserve in 2023, and now roams the world freely.
==Personality==
Marsden used to be quite cheery and satisfied with his clever self... until another subject destroyed the 3D printer that he'd purchased with his (short) life's savings. After that event, researchers noted that he became quite paranoid, and this paranoia was only exacerbated when another subject stole his uniform and his swimming outfit. Mars withdrew from most social affairs and became one of the computer room's top attendees, chatting on forums and social medias. It was documented that he felt much more comfortable with researchers than with most of his fellow subjects, and would often start conversations with any researcher when given the chance. Mars was one of the top students in the center's class, as evident by his scores and the teacher's report. 
==Appearance==
Mars has dark gray feathers on all of his body except for his face, which is pastel yellow. His belly screen was nonfunctional, and was removed early on in an experiment, leaving Mars with a relatively featureless torso besides the feathers. He has no wings, likely due to being made from a groundhirse. He opted to wear the uniform while living at the center, especially as he felt the other subjects would judge him for lacking a belly screen. His swimwear lacks the typical screen cutout.
==Trivia==
*His big plan was to sell 3D prints to other subjects for cash, which was fairly successful until his 3D printer was broken.
*Mars' room was filled with candles, as he found them therapeutic and beautiful, but most of them were never burned as fire was hard to come by.
**He would invite Yvonne to his room to help light them, but this tended to be ineffective...
**His efforts to create fire via sticks and rocks was also ineffective.
**He was caught praying to Prometheus once, likely related to his fire-finding efforts.
*When interviewed upon his release, he noted that we was interested in a research-type career.
