...personal*
personality Marcus is a big softie. Although he stirred up some trouble in his hometown, it was only because he was bored. He's a dreamer, always dozing off in class thinking about...well, anything. But although he's soft, he's always up for anything exciting. But he's a bit scared to go out of his comfort zone, after all, he is from the middle of nowhere. Drugs and gangs aren't exactly on his to-do list. But he'd be open to pretty much anything that got him out into the city. The last thing he wants to feel is stuck again.
He's also known for his funny hat collection. He had been collecting them since he was 5, and couldn't bear to part with them when he moved. Occasionally, he wears them out, and ignores everybody's weird looks. He has all different kinds, but his favorite hat is his red pointy one. Marcus is convinced it makes him look smarter. Is that the case? No, probably not.
past Marcus was born and raised in Bertrand, Nebraska. You know, the home of the famous "Taylor Family Corn---the best kernels this side of the Mississippi."
Okay, so maybe it was a bit unheard of in New York. But in Bertrand, it was everything. Taylor Family Corn was basically the only source of income for the small town, and the entire place was basically a giant cornfield.
Marcus' father 'Ken Taylor --the King of the Corn Industry' gave him pretty much a secure social standing from the get-go. He got used to walking around town and being followed, and having his every move talked about. After all, he was an only child. He was set to take over the company after his father stepped down. Which made him basically the most eligible bachelor in town. He got used to girls fawning over him, parents trying to set him up with their daughters. He was never really interested in any of them, though. I mean sure, he had his share of girlfriends, but he never felt anything more than lust for them. He knew that they were just with him for the attention. And he got used to that, it was how it always was.
But it gets old after a while. One day, Marcus just woke up and wanted to be known as something else, something other than the heir of Taylor Family Corn.
So he did what any other teenage boy would do: he became a rebel.
Well, as much as he could become a rebel. Remember, this is Bertrand, not Mexico City. He robbed the only drug store, he failed all his classes, and he lit a cornfield on fire. The last one was the final straw for his father. He decided to teach Marcus a lesson: he sent him off to New York City. If that didn't scare him, what could?
present Although Marcus was royalty in his small town, he was just a speck of dust in New York. It was like being on another planet. But as overwhelmed as Marcus was, he liked it in a weird way. He didn't have a reputation he needed to uphold here: he could be whoever he wanted to be.
Because of this, Marcus started to explore new things. His favorite, surprisingly, was singing. He never would have have pursued it back home, because he would've been called a sissy. But he took a couple choir classes at Baum and fell in love with it. He was even thinking of joining the musical now.
Now in his second semester, Marcus had just started getting used to his new life. He was doing okay in school, and had made a couple friends who didn't make fun of his hats. Overall, life was treating Marcus pretty well.

...literature*book title Sleeping Beauty
backstory At the christening of a long-wished-for princess, a wicked fairy who had been overlooked placed the princess under an enchantment as her gift, saying that, on reaching adulthood, she would prick her finger on a spindle and die. A good fairy, though unable to completely reverse the spell, said that the princess would instead sleep for a hundred years, until awakened by the kiss of a prince and true love's first kiss. On her 15th birthday, The Princess asked to try the unfamiliar task and the inevitable happened. After a hundred years had passed, a prince who had heard the story of the enchantment braved the wood, which parted at his approach, and entered the castle. He trembled upon seeing the princess's beauty and fell on his knees before her. He kissed her, then she woke up, then everyone in the castle woke to continue where they had left off, and they lived happily ever after.
