Marcus Lopez Character in Eldritch Earth | World Anvil

Marcus Lopez

Fifth of seven kids, Marcus is the twin brother of Isabel. He was a troublemaker in school, but that gremlin streak actually translates pretty well to, you know, producing a web show about cryptid hunting.   Marcus used to be a lot more stressed about making his parents happy, but he realized that worrying over that kind of thing isn't going to make himĀ  happy, so he's focused on his totally legitimate and cool job where he gets to look into weird stuff around town.   Hey, you ever hear about that giant rat in the sewer?

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

Marcus is a trans man, he's been out for like, two years, and if you heckle him over it one of his friends (probably Blue) will whup your ass from one end of the town to the other, as a few idiots had to learn the rough way.

Sexuality

Pansexual, but homoromantic -- Marcus is down to get in bed with just about anyone, but only men are capable of catching his heart. Sometimes Marcus feels conflicted about this, but he's ultimately chosen to just embrace the truth of himself because it's better to do that than live hating himself for what he is, and how he feels.

Employment

Marcus is the Producer (Lead, thank you very much) for the Cryptid Hunter Society -- the CHS. He's been doing it for years now. He's the guy who highlights all the weird stuff the others miss, and he's the one who gets grouchy when someone fucks up their recording and gets a bunch of static.

Failures & Embarrassments

He's always going to be embarrassed that people think his show is fake. It's not! But it looks kinda like it is, sometimes. That's all. It'd be a lot easier for his sleep and his brain if it was fake, but he's done a lot of work putting pieces into place with Iosefka and, well, damn. It's real!

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Guy's good with computers and editing programs. He's always checking out new programs, loading up various tutorials, pushing himself to learn more.

Vices & Personality flaws

Don't tell anyone, but Marcus is actually pretty into some weird stuff; his online adult dating accounts are pretty out there and he's always looking for his next physical fix. Pleasure in all of its forms is his biggest weakness, and he won't deny it either. Marcus just likes feeling good, and sometimes this clouds his judgement.

Hygiene

Marcus is actually perpetually on top of keeping himself clean. He's the sort of dude who showers twice a day during the summer, and he's got a little bit of a germophobe vibe to him: always using hand santizer, wiping off desks and tables in public places before he sits down, all that. The others think it's lame but Marcus doesn't care too much.
