[C-W] Markus

Markus is an extremely prideful individual, he takes great satisfaction in seeing his work complete, and can become boastful about what he has acheived. However, he can also see the negative affects of this in the way that he will obsess and fret over his work and- almost everything he does in his life untill it is up to his high standards and expectations- and cannot stop untill things are the way he wishes them to be. In example: 
Mark is an extreme germaphobe and shows clear signs of OCD in the way he handles things, he will never take off his gloves in fear of touching something "dirty" [which in his vocabulary is everything that hasnt been scrubbed to sheer non existence with soap] and fears physical contact due to contaminating himself. -- So, this can lead to him seemingly looking down on people and turning his nose up at them, as he tends to distance himself pysically from others. 
He can be snappy and arrogant when it comes to his opinions too, as he has very set ideas of how things should be done in his head, it can be hard to change his way of thinking into the same way someone else would think- making him difficult to work with in alot of situations regarding group decisions and tactics. 

Overall; Mark can come across as uptight and arrogant, but usually means nothing by it- though this does not mean that he isn't always truthfully being snide or "bitchy" even. He is extremely prideful of his work and has alot of self respect in regards to what he does, but can be easily manipulated to be insecure as he is paranoid of others opinons of him. He is usually on guard due to his perfectionist habbits and this can lead to his sometimes stand-off-ish attitude. 

Markus was born outisde of Anytown into a high class, high strung family, as the youngest of a set of twins- himself and his sister Leizel. The two had no contact with their mother starting at the age of 6, as, having had an affair and in turn an unlawful child- their traditional father had deemed her unworthy of custody and taken the two to his origional home in a vast city, only after pulling many strings in his web of shady corporate friends to get their Mother taken in for un-true charges. No one could truly balme Claire Avanti for leaving her husband and seeking other company, as he was a truly unbearable runt of a man, and his controlling personality did not reach only his wife. Matthias Noir expected nothing less from his children than sheer perfection, ranging from the way they looked and acted to the hobbies they had and the friends they made [which was, evidently, none.] . 
Markus had always had a passion for painting, but he never did have a passion for women, and he certainly wasn't passionate about the utter witch of a woman his Father had arranged for him to marry. It wasn't until after his mother finally charged their Father and he lost protective holding over them that himself and his sister where able to leave their respective chosen partners, cancelling any agreement had to marry and move on themselves at the ages of only 18. Where as Leizel took the route of rebelling against all the training her father had put her through and persued a career of marine exploration and high danger [a world away from her life of dance and piano lessons], Markus seemed to somehow be unable to shake the things he had been taught- even after moving onto his own carrer, finally being able to do what he loved and design beutiful things, everything still had to be perfect. It all had to be right, or it wasn't okay atall. 
He never really settled working in the city, there was too much noise-- Too many poeple. Too many. Too much filth.
