xxxxxThe first thing most people notice about Marcus is his rich azure skin, though even past that there's an overall uncanny-valley eerieness to the composition of his features. His eyes -- set too wide apart -- are dark, dark brown, nearly black at first glance, which almost but not quite hides the slight squarish cast to his pupils. His face -- too-long and too-narrow, broad forehead, broad nose, high cheekbones, wide full mouth hiding teeth that are just slightly too sharp -- tapers down into a squared off chin. His hair is glossy blue-black and coily; clipped fairly short, it does not hide the long pointed tips to his ears. His wispy build -- slightly elongated neck, disproportionately long-boned slender limbs, extremely long and narrow tapered fingers -- occasionally gives him an impression of height that he does not actually possess. At a slim 5'3", he is smaller than most American boys his age, and not very muscular.
