Name: Marco Evan Gomez

Nicknames: Gomez

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Omnisexual

Species: Werewolf

Looks:

He's 6'4

Personality: Marco is a quiet young man, reserved and observant. Reliable and steady, many depend upon Marco in various areas of life, whether it be for personal business or pack business. Quiet, but not cold, Marco is a welcoming presence to all - except when the situation calls for it, and his intimidation comes into play. Marco is a smart man, though not keenly intelligent, and is an excellent sounding board for various ideas or strategies. Able to do the dirty work, Marco is strong of will and body, a loyal being, almost to a fault. Marco is protective of those he cares about, and will go to the ends of the earth for those he loves. Marco is a mountain - unmovable, unshakeable, unbreakable. He can always be counted on to have your back, and remain calm in a crisis. Marco has no ego to be seen, happy to let others take charge and take credit, so long as his task was done successfully, and people are safe. He's a good person to have in your corner. But he does have trouble breaking the rules - he believes they exist for a reason, and should be followed.

Likes: helping, running, nature, his pack, being trusted, succeeding

Dislikes: failure, people losing trust and faith in him, being unable to help, losing his cool, panic, not knowing what to do

Powers: Shifting into a wolf (looks above); heightened durability, strength, speed, senses, and reflexes while in human form.

Backstory: Marco grew up in the Redwood Pack, just a normal member of the pack. Quiet and reserved, he kept mostly to himself - he was always the quiet one in the big friend groups. Just wanting to help his pack, he trained to become a guard for the Alpha or to go on border patrols, with a chance of maybe one day joining the Elites. His hard-work was noticed by those around him, and soon enough, he was going on border patrols - being trained by the older leaders, groomed to take over their positions one day. However, the Alpha also caught news of Marco's prowess, and at times uses him as a personal guard or assistant - in some manner - despite the fact that he isn't actually an Elite, though not for lack of skill. Jillian just doesn't believe he has that killer instinct that all Elites need in order to properly survive. No hesitancy, no issues. Marco, at his core being a gentle soul, doesn't have that same instinct - so Jillian thinks. Close now with the Alpha, Marco is a trusted member of the pack, and is sent on assignments and details that even Jillian and the Elites aren't. Almost like a mini spy for the Alpha and Beta, Marco has been honored to serve them and protect his pack in whatever ways he can.

Other: Marco used to dream of playing American football, but being a werewolf, knew that could never happen
Marco is a rule follower - he only leaves pack lands when given permission
Marco is a basketball player, and plays pick-up games with the other pack members
He lives in the pack-house run by the Alpha, not the one run by the Beta

Within the RP:

Marco has become good friends with Huxley Sage Lowe over the past couple of years, as she joined and trained with the Elites, and he sometimes helped alongside them. Whether there is more to their relationship beyond friendship and physicality, no is one is quite sure.

After a wolf was kicked out of the Elites, Marco has been filling in on a temporary status - whether he actually becomes an Elite or not is yet to be determined.

He is on a friendly basis with Jillian Fiona Musso, and considers her a friend, though he isn't always 100% certain where he stands with her.
