Marcus Fischer

**Marcus Fischer** is an eighteen year old, resident of Asmuth. Friendly but at times awkward, Marcus is the latest reincarnation of the Norse deity Baldr.

## Biography

### Prior to the series

Marcus's early life wasn't a happy one. When he was fifteen, his mom and dad suddenly left him and his older sister, Claire, in the care of their estranged grandfather. From then on, Marcus suffered from mild depression and anxiety. During the months approaching his eighteenth birthday, Marcus was suffering from horrible night terrors, which depicted a bloody war and the world burning to ash. His sister had him admitted to the Iron Wood Mental Health Insititute, hoping that they would help him control his night terrors.

## Personality

Despite his mental health struggles, Marcus is a pretty well put together guy. He's warm, fun hearted, quiet, and always friendly, even to people he's just met. He always likes to look for the best in people, even those who are doubted by his other friends. Speaking of, he's very good at making new friends, likely due to his warm attitude.

However, he can get angry and is prone to anxiety attacks. While his friends and sister are usually there to help calm him down, he wishes that he didn't have to live with it.

## Appearance

Marcus has curly red hair, dark brown eyes, and sharp features, noteably his prominent cheekbones. He used to have a very thin physique but now, after accessing his godly powers, he is more fit, muscular, and is seen as more attractive to the local women and men. Despite his newfound attractiveness, he still likes to wear casual clothes like jackets, t shirts, and jeans.

Whenever his godly powers activate, strange Norse runes start to glow all over his body. They can usually be seen shining through his clothes.

### Unique Powers

Due to being the reincarnation of Baldr, Marcus is blessed with his unique godly abilities, which include;

* **Supernatural Beauty**: Since Baldr was often associated with beauty, Marcus has now become much more attractive.
* **Precognitive Dreams:** Marcus sometimes has dreams of events that will happen in the future. He doesn't always understand what they mean, however.
* **Nigh-Invulnerability:** Marcus cannot be harmed by any kind of weapon, object, or vehicle. This is due to Baldr being invulnerable because of a spell by his mother, Frigg. The only thing that can break this spell and harm Marcus is mistletoe.
* **Photokinesis:** Due to being the reincarnation of the Norse god of light, Marcus could theoretically also manipulate and summon light. He has not demonstrated this power yet though.
