– In-Game Profile

**Marius** (マリウス *Mariusu*) is a new character in Story of World II: A Flowery Life (game). He is the son of Andre and Cheryl after they are married.

Marius is gentle and soft-spoken. An outdoor lover just like his parents, he dreams of preserving the cleanliness of the different places in the town and if possible wants to make them a better place.

He loves outdoors, and can often be seen outside. He cares a lot about nature and lives up to his dream. He is often seen by the waterwheel.

Marius looks similar to his father in both personality and appearance. However, his a little angry face and smile with visible teeth are inspired from his mother, Cheryl.

## **Birth**

Two weeks after Andre and Cheryl's wedding ceremony, enter Cheryl's House on Engelstein Fields in the morning and go inside her room on the northern side door. It will immediately look like Cheryl feels unwell. At this point the player won't be able to talk to Cheryl.

Four days after Cheryl felt ill, enter the same building and location in morning day, and it will look like Cheryl is about to be pregnant! Andre and Cheryl, as well as the main character will go to Rio General Clinic for the birthing event. After players hear the baby cry, Leaf asks the player to wait a moment; soon afterwards there's another cry. WOW, they got a healthy boy! His name is Marius.

**Andre:** (*Shocked*) "What happened...?"
**Cheryl:** "I don't feel well right now..."
**Andre:** "Hm... Well, y-you should... sleep in your bed..."
**Cheryl:** "Okay, darling."

The birthing event will take entire day, which lasted until 15:00. The next morning players will find their healthy baby boy inside Cheryl's room sleeping at his crib.

As a newborn baby, the Player cannot interact with Marius. Even if the Player has a Formula Milk, the Player cannot give it to him. The Player can neither pick him up, talk to him, nor give him gifts. Marius will remain sleep in the crib until he grows up.

Marius will never appear in game if Andre and Cheryl do not marry.

**Andre:** (*Shocked*) "...What's wrong, darling? The baby's coming? Oh, no... We... have to hurry. Let's go."
(*Andre and Cheryl as well as the player go together to Rio General Clinic*)
**Diego:** "It's almost time. You can wait there."
(*Andre sits at the right-side sofa, and the baby cries after this moment*)
**Diego**: "It's a healthy Boy."
**Andre**: "The baby... is born. I'm happy. A name...? Well, I prefer... Marius."
**Diego:** "I had a baby crib sent to your room as a present. Now we're talking. Sleep well tonight.
**Andre:** "I wonder what qualities our son will inherited from both of us. Cheryl, what do you think?"
**Cheryl:** "When he grows up, he will inherited your personality and appearance. He will also inherit my face style."

## **Full-Grown**

Two weeks after Marius' birth, go to Cheryl's House between 9:00 and 10:00 so the player can see Marius awake from his new bed and full grown. Now that he has awaken, Marius will introduce himself, and from this point the player can socialise with him. The player will be able to interact and befriend him like any other character. Marius will *never* get any older other than this stage.

**Andre:** "Marius is getting bigger, so we bought him a new clothing."
**Cheryl:** "Wake up, Marius."
(*Marius wakes up from his bed*)
**Marius:** "Good morning, <Player Name>. I'm Marius. I want to be an explorer someday."
**Cheryl**: "Heh! He has my smile. Wonder what areas he'll venture? Well, we'll see you soon."
