Core Personality Traits
1. Calm Under Pressure
Marcus doesn’t panic when chaos hits. Years of responding to emergencies trained him to slow his breathing, focus on priorities, and act decisively—even when surrounded by screaming or the undead closing in.
2. Guarded but Compassionate
He pretends to be emotionally distant, but he’s deeply empathetic. He can’t ignore someone who’s hurt, starving, or scared. His compassion sometimes puts him at risk.
3. Pragmatic Realist
Marcus doesn’t believe in “saving everyone.” He understands that survival requires hard choices. If supplies are low, he rations without apology. If someone is bitten, he handles it swiftly and respectfully.
4. Observant and Tactical
He constantly scans rooftops, alleyways, exits, and body language. He notices who’s losing hope, who’s hiding something, and where the next threat might come from.
5. Quietly Haunted
He carries guilt from people he couldn’t save during the early outbreak—especially a younger sibling he lost. He rarely talks about it, but it drives his determination to protect others now.
