my story
Ah... I never learned how to deal with my own emotions. My father always yelled at me for crying, and god forbid I express anger. My mother just watched or tried to justify it to me. I grew up very repressed and never made friends because I didn't have the skills for getting close to people. I just want someone to look at me!
I think other people are fascinating. Maybe because I never felt strongly about anyone (or, at least allowed myself to), I like to study them. Isn't it funny, trying to figure out why people do the things they do?
Now I'm at university, studying art. To be honest, I still don't understand myself really well... You can see I used to look a lot more different from what I look like now. As soon as I moved to New York City to study art, I let myself experiment with style. Not sure what I'll do when I have to return home.
For now, I'm trying to make enough money to become independent. I don't think my parents would like it if I showed them the soul inside.

my stand
My stand is called freestate. It looks like a yellow frog about the size of my head with a large pair of blue butterfly wings. It can fly, and it can carry me as well, or anyone really. It can create small tornadoes.
While in theory its range is unlimited, there's a problem. Every person's personality is, I believe made up both of mind and soul. The mind that thinks, and the soul that feels. When I activate my stand, it splits my mind off, leaving it wherever I was when the stand appeared. The further my stand (carrying my soul) gets from that point, the more control the soul takes in comparison to the mind. If it goes too far, I lose all rational control and everything done by my stand and body becomes emotionally driven.
I don't want this to happen. I'm afraid of what I feel.

[Hey! I'm Nori, Marco's creator. Thank you so much for reading this carrd. I post over at @kakyoint.
I don't have any writing focused on Marco right now, but he is in my current Jotakak fic. I hope to get around to make actual stories for him some day!
While I've linked these in other locations as well, I'd like to make sure and give credit for my background image here and the picrew icon on the first page. The image of Marco in the background was comissioned from my friend thornowl and the icon was made using Euphälle's picrew. Also, Marco's stand is named after Freestate by Depeche Mode.
Thank you once again! Don't be afraid to interact with the blog/ask questions. As always, please let me know if the blog/this carrd has any accessibility issues.]
