18, 22, and 31 for marcus :)
oc asks!
18. What are your OC’s bad habits?
marcus is late very, very often. he doesn't necessarily do it on purpose, but he also very rarely makes an effort to wrap up his own activities in timely manner. on top of that, he also often lies about his previous whereabouts and what exactly he was doing; and he really isn't good at it. others often know that he was in the deep wastes or in the quarantined part of town, spending time with his waste-affected family members. yet something stops him from being honest about this. shame, perhaps?
22. How good is your OC at apologizing, if they do this at all?
marcus is mechanical, stiff, academical. it sounds more as if he is reading his lines from a piece of paper than anything else, which isn't necessarily a problem on its own; the problem is that you know that it's nothing more than courtesies to him. he apologizes when he knows he's expected to, or when he deems it appropriate, but there is very little feeling or meaning behind it other than him simply wanting to be able to move on from the moment itself; whether he does actually feel sorry deep down is a whole other suitcase to unpack. it's one of the feelings he has successfully managed to suppress within himself, so it is really hard to tell
31. Are there any places or people your OC is avoiding?
his father's grave. marcus hasn't visited in years, and isn't planning on doing so any time soon; he is scared of it, for some reason. scared of his father judging him, despite very obviously no longer being able to do so; scared of his father being angry at him for how he's handling the situation with his mother and sister and the disease, to the point he can't bring himself to go anywhere near it at all. this automatically means he is also avoiding the church in declivity, both because his father is buried behind it as well as for similar reasons, but then with god. not that marcus is religious necessarily. he's just better safe than sorry
