As far as dress goes, Marcus is a man of style and taste and doesn't let anything influence his attention to detail. He prefers suits and ties for the most part of his dress and while it often leaves him sort of out of place in a world of lazy and style challenged rag dolls, it still just works for him. No real outlandish colors grace Marcus' wardrobe but each and every piece is a masterpiece in and of itself. Casual wear does happen for Marcus, but even then he still is usually better dressed than most. Cargo pants or slacks with cotton button up shirts and fedoras are the look he prefers when relaxing but never any shorts of any sort. Tennis shoes are out of the question unless he is working out but that is about the only time.
personality: Marcus is a very charismatic person with an alluring personality, however, something about his smiles and glances leave most feeling more sinister lurks underneath. Socially, Marcus is the center of attention and feels right at home hosting any party or just meeting new people. Outwardly, Marcus is very confident and seems to not be bothered by pressure or unforeseen situations. Like his appearance and looks, Marcus' outward persona seems all too perfect and normal.
Privately, Marcus' true nature shows through and its quite dark. He is very ambitious and ruthless and has very little compassion for others around him. Often labeled a sociopath by his underlings, Marcus acts on his own desires generally and will use anyone or anything in order to achieve his desires. He is very arrogant and patient, exhibiting a cold demeanor and very serious nature about himself. He seems to have no preferences for sides save his own and has been known to switch his affiliations with varying factions over the years. Marcus is loyal to his own causes and no one else's.
likes: Marcus is a man of fine and expensive taste. He enjoys money and power and likes to make sure no one forgets just how important or powerful he really is. Fine clothing and fine food are at the top of Marcus' vices, with his dearly loyal wife being the top of his pleasurables. Manipulating others is a sport for him and while he never likes losing, he does appreciate those who can challenge him as strong wills and a sharp mind are other things he finds favorable. As a side note, Marcus does enjoy boxing and while not as athletic as some, he is quiet a proficient boxer in his own right.
dislikes: While he enjoys a challenge, Marcus does not like to lose any challenge laid before him. He is a very jealous person and will not put up with treachery or betrayal which effects him. Weak hearted individuals make him sick as do ignorant fools who think too much of themselves.
powers:
• Repulsor Aura, also called Repulsion is the ability to create a powerful offensive aura or energy field which pushes objects or people away from the user. The user can keep the repulsive field around them, or certain objects, to stop projectiles from approaching (almost like a reverse magnetic attraction, but it works on anything, magnetic or not) or it can be used to push foes into walls, knock them unconscious, and the like. The user can even use it to keep from hitting objects by repelling themselves up or away. Currently, Marcus can repel objects up to 200 lbs and up to 215 if he really pushes his ability but this often results in severe headaches and nosebleeds which bring a variety of issues on their own: nausea, optical sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound, and vertigo. Anything beyond Marcus' weight limit of movement results in Marcus himself being moved instead of his target, which sometimes is the desired effect. However, Marcus cannot control the direction he might be repelled, sort of leaving him guessing. When erecting a basic repulsion field, Marcus does not need specific details of the objects he is repelling. However, his ability to keep up this field is based on his willpower and physical strength. The stronger and more determined Marcus is, the stronger his repulsion barrier will be. Of course, eventually he will tire and no matter how much he wishes to keep his barrier up, it will fall. So sleeping with this protection in place is currently impossible. When wanting to deal with specific objects, the laws of his attraction ability work here as well. Marcus must know what he is moving and where it is in in relation to where he is currently.
• Tractor Aura, also called Traction/Attraction or Gravitation is the ability to psychically or psionically attract objects to oneself. One with this ability could draw foes into the line of an attack, or pull allies out of the way of an oncoming danger, or to pull oneself closer to a desired subject. This ability can also use gravitation on objects, to move them toward oneself or move oneself toward an object, if the object is sturdy enough to resist being pulled itself. It functions as the exact opposite of Repulsor Aura. Marcus' ability with his attraction ability is on par with is repulsor ability. He can attract objects of 200 pounds and with enough strain and concentration has moved objects around 215-220 pounds. As stated before, this leaves Marcus open to major physical and health issues. If Marcus wished to attract a specific object, he must have certain specifics established. Marcus must know exactly what he is attracting and where it is at in relation to himself. For example, if attacked from behind, then Marcus would need to know what he was trying to attract and where it was in relation to where and how he was standing. He just couldn't pull a gun toward him if he had no idea there was a gun involved or where it was at.
power levels: As for Marcus' power level, the level indicates his skill with said power, not the power of his ability itself. Marcus has a very great understanding of his abilities and just what he can and can't move with them. Due to his determined nature and calm demeanor, Marcus has no problem concentrating on using his ability except for when he is injured or tired. The range of each ability is 70 feet.
Repulsor Aura ~ 7
Tractor Aura ~ 7
strengths: Marcus is a wealthy individual in a very lofty position of power in the criminal underworld. He is very patient and cunning which make him an excellent strategist. His understanding of his mutant abilities surpasses most and his clever nature gives him and edge in ways of using his abilities. Marcus is a gifted orator and knows how to work a social crowd.
weaknesses: While a cunning person, Marcus is also very arrogant which causes him to underestimate his opponents at times. As a person with a gift for talking, Marcus sometimes like to run his mouth a bit too much sometimes, giving his opponents an opportunity to find a proper form of attack against him. As a more potent figure in the criminal underworld, Marcus is the subject of much law enforcement investigations.
habits: Rolls a large silver coin back and forth across his knuckles when bored or growing impatient.
goals: Establish himself as one of the dominant figures in the world.
secret: Afraid of dying or growing old and losing his wife.[/ul][/SIZE][/FONT]

father: William Pryce
siblings: James "Jimmy" Pryce
significant other (s): Alyssa Pryce (Wife)
pets: Two English Boxers named "Brutus" and "Caesar"
heritage: American and British
hometown: New York, New York, USA
history: The Pryce family is one of the more notorious crime families in the United States. Operating under the guise of a national auction company, the Pryce family has established a great number of social ties world wide. William Pryce, the current head of the Pryce crime family, took over the position from his father at the age twenty-eight. Ever the ambitious son and man, William was not content with just having a power base in New York and so began setting up his small empire across the United States. He quickly succeeded due mainly in part to his mutant ability of mind control and once satisfied with his holding in the States, William set his eyes across the ocean to Europe. This stage of his plans proved to be a bit more rewarding than William had first planned as this was when he met his future wife Victoria Jameson.
Content in the small contingent of Dons running things back home, William prolonged his stay in England, pursuing his relationship with Victoria. At first William kept his real life a secret from her, but thanks to an attempt on his life by a rival family, William was forced to reveal his true identity to Victoria. Faced with fear and confusion, Victoria dumped William and disappeared into the countryside where her family owned a very large farm. Angry yet heartbroken, William tried in vain to win the hand of his beloved back, but eventually had to give up in order to return home to deal with pressing matters there. However, a few months later, Victoria returned to him in New York, pregnant and claiming it was William's. Shocked and not sure if he should believe Victoria, William provided a place for his former love to stay until she gave birth and a proper paternity test could be performed. Several months later, Marcus was born and as Victoria had said, he was proved to be William's son.
Moved by William's compassion and the way he provided for her during her pregnancy, Victoria finally married William. The lifestyle which William lived as not easy to adjust to, but Victoria found herself growing to enjoy the fine things which William's power brought to her. Within a few years, the two had another child and named his James. By this time Marcus was five and growing up quite nicely. He was ever the entertainer and took to his lessons with zeal. The Pryce name ensured Marcus had the best nannies and private schools which were out there, with his brother Jimmy, following right behind him.
Around thirteen, Marcus began to exhibit strange abilities. At first it was just odd things like things being knocked from their tables by his passing but it soon turned into much more. While sitting on the couch with is father one afternoon, watching television, Marcus reached for the television remote, pulling it to himself with what seemed to be telekinesis. William found the incident fascinating as he himself was a mutant and suspected one if not both of his sons might be as well. The news wasn't shocking to Victoria as she had been keeping her own mutant ability a secret. Once exposed to one another through Marcus' mutant development, both Pryce's were a bit angry, but let the incident go in order to concentrate on what to do about their son. So, calling in some old favors, William enrolled his son in an exclusive school for those with special abilities.
Shipped across the seas to Scotland, Marcus was enrolled in McAllister Academy. Here, Marcus learned the usual subjects of school children, but more importantly, he learned how to control and manipulate his powers. Marcus excelled in school and thanks to his charm and good looks, had quite the following of female compatriots. Dating on and off, Marcus never found who or what he was looking for until his final year at the school. A young woman by the name of Alyssa Bane had caught his eye before but had always turned him down when he asked her out. However, Marcus finally won out and the two began to date, with the relationship quickly taking off. Near the end of the year, Marcus had proposed to Alyssa with her accepting.
Free from his father's watchful eye, Marcus began to flex his own social muscle so to speak and quickly learned the ins and outs of manipulation. Establishing his own social clique and power base in school, Marcus began to exhibit his father's criminal traits. It was here at the school where Marcus met a young man by the name of Jack Lewis. Always on the look out for those to bring into his developing group of criminals, Marcus drafted Jack as an enforcer of sorts, but quickly came to regret that move. Jack was a wild card so to speak and far stronger than Marcus first realized. Being a power mimic, Jack grew stronger than Marcus quickly and set his eyes on besting the would be "boss". Confronting Marcus at the school, Jack attacked Marcus with every thing he could muster. The two tore apart the school in their battle and despite Marcus' best efforts and strategies, he was beaten and tossed from the school's clock tower.
Fortunately for Marcus, Alyssa was gifted with biological manipulation and was able to keep Marcus' body functioning while hiding him away from Jack and world. Alyssa's family were very wealthy, her father being the CEO of a world wide banking chain. Using her family's money and connections, Alyssa was able to bring in the best doctors for her beloved and thanks to Marcus' father, he was kept locked away safely and secretly. Many months passed, but eventually Marcus regained consciousness and with the help of Alyssa's power and much physical therapy, he was back on his feet. Jack Lewis was the first item to be dealt with on Marcus' list and after another month or two, Marcus finally tracked Jack down right outside of London. The attack was swift and merciless. Standing on a street corner, Marcus used his attraction ability and pulled Jack from the other side of the street and into the way of a large bus. Usually, this might not have hurt Jack, but Marcus had not come alone. Alyssa had her own want to see Jack destroyed and after Marcus' attack had dazed Jack, knocking his defenses down, Alyssa used her ability to put the bastard into a coma, leaving just enough brain function for his bodily organs to work.
Pleased with the way his son handled his own business and his determination, William appointed Marcus as the head of the Pryce family in Europe, freeing Marcus from his school obligations and expectations. Once established, Marcus and Alyssa married, just in time for the actions of Amagi Miroku to emerge and a knew plan to form in Marcus' head. Tracking down the rumors of a mutant school within England, Marcus and Alyssa moved to a small town known as Devizes, setting up shop there as well.[/ul][/SIZE][/FONT]
