Full Name: Marco Polo
Nickname: Marco, Marc
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Species: Red Fox [vulpes vulpes]
Appearance Being your average red fox, his pelt is a brilliant shade of red and orange, it looks almost painted on him. Slowly it fades into a creamy orange around his belly and the insides of both his front and back legs. As it travels down his legs however, it fades into a dark shade of black which comes to an end at his bright, clear white claws.
This fade from red to black also happens on his tail where it slightly mottles itself within his pelt. The tip of his tail is faded back into that orangey cream. Most of his pelt is course and not very thick but it thickens out and becomes fluffy on his stomach. Every now and then there is a small tuft missing from where he might have caught himself on something. Apart from that his pelt is usually flawless.
His eyes are the brightest shade of yellow which stand out against the redness of his pelt. The irises are your typical foxes which are narrow slits in bright light and round ovals in day light. Much like a cats. A few whiskers spring out around his muzzle. Also on his muzzle, he bears three scars which run up around his left eye. These were given to him by an eagle in a scuffle over carrion.
Personality Marco has a tendency to try and become everyone's friend. He gets along with nearly everyone he meets. In the case of complete strangers he's not afraid to assert his authority but tries not to get too serious. Has an extreme hatred towards members of the grey fox species as it has always been with him. It stems from the fact he believes a skulk of grey foxes kidnapped his family. Apart from that he gets on with most other species.
Although he makes friends easily, he finds it hard to trust in others. It will take awhile for him to build confidence in someone and trust them with secrets. Mostly he just fears being betrayed and have vital information released. In a sense he is completely paranoid.
His thoughts about the Illness are like most others of the Delmares, he believes that it was the Avantgardes ideas and sorcery that brought this upon the land. The idea of the Illness scares him and he constantly fears it being brought back, or he brings it back. Or anything like that. If someone mentions the Illness he normally tries to swap the subject so no one begins to panic or falls into anarchy.
Definitely has a leadership quality about him but is too modest to go out of his way and flaunt it. Hopes to lead the Delmares and establish them as the strongest pack. But won't force people into accepting him as their leader.
