Anything Else?

Inner Stuff
Likes:

• Getting new bodies
  
• Having fun
  
• Screwing (with) his coworkers
  

Dislikes:

• Being immortal
  
• Killjoys
  
• “Fallen”
  

Strengths:

• He’s effectively immortal. His consciousness was transferred by complete accident into the pendant, so anyone who wears the pendant has their own consciousness overridden by Dr. Marne’s, so he can change bodies indefinitely until such a time as he is released.
  
• He’s absolutely brilliant, a genius among geniuses. He’s gotten Ph.D’s in particle and theoretical physics, a master’s degree in business, and several other accolades.
  
• He’s also devoted one or two bodies to learning martial arts, including Brazilian jiu-jitsu and jujutsu
  
• The combination of the not-quite-understood anomalous properties of the pendant, and the unique manner in which he utilizes the CBFS, grants his host body certain odd abilities after using certain frames for about a week at a time, unless another frame is used in that timeframe
  

Weaknesses:

• Dying so many times, yet never legit dying, does not have entirely fantastic effects on one’s psyche. He’s believed to be seriously schizophrenic and has demonstrated severe mood swings.
  
• If the pendant is separated from the current host body, Dr. Marne’s consciousness retreats back into the jewelry and the body goes braindead until the pendant is put back on
  
• He has a very bad track record about using Artifacts for personal gain or amusement
  
• He’s often stuck in one Frame for the entirety of a battle. He has to have new Frames specifically airlifted in to change mid-battle, a time-consuming process.
  

Goal(s):

• Have fun and enjoy himself
  
• Find a way to free himself from the pendant
  

Habits/ Quirks:

• When he reawakens in a new body, he likes to make it very theatrical. He generally likes to scream “I LIVE ONCE MORE!”
  

Relationships:

• Claudia, Kakeru, Gaige, Lisbeth- Coworkers
  
• Artie- Boss
  

Overview: Marne is impossible to quantify on any standardized personality test. He’s generally a prankster, very happy-go-lucky and not at all caring about the consequences of his actions. He does cares for his teammates though, and will work to keep them alive… if only because he doesn’t want to lose their priceless reactions to his pranks. He does have mood swings, however, and will be sitting and laughing one moment before becoming immensely, irrationally angry or irrationally depressed.

Ewing Marne was born to an upper middle class family in Ohio. He was always a smart child, getting very high marks in all of his courses all the way up through high school in addition to several extracurricular activities, including theater, debate and photography. He graduated valedictorian of his high school class and went on to study physics at MIT, where he graduated second in his class by one point. He was almost immediately picked up by the very university he’d just graduated from, and caught Black Fang’s attention when he began studying an Artifact’s strange properties. They offered him a job, and he accepted due to the much higher pay grade.
He was studying a pendant, found in the house of a dead occultist. The books scattered around the body had drawings of the pendant labeled “Unending Life”. Marne was curious, so he studied it. He was transporting it by hand past Da Vinci’s Death Ray, muttering to himself, when he accidentally triggered the ray, incinerating himself. An intern made the mistake of picking the pendant up, and their mind vanished, becoming Dr. Marne’s new body. After a moment’s freaking-out, Dr. Marne reported the odd finding. He was immediately promoted very highly, to keep this amazing development quiet.
Marne began to change, becoming the man he is today. He found he could be anyone he could possibly want. He befriended the active combat team, intriguing them with his body-changing. Claudia had an idea, and began collaborating with Gaige and Marne to create the Cybernetic Battle Frame System, specifically compatible with Marne’s pendant to allow him to join the combat crew. Marne loved it, and helped with the project where he could. After a few test runs, he became aware of the after-use powers. About three years ago, Marne was bored one day and decided to make a porn site. It blew up completely beyond his own predictions, and he began making a decent amount of money off of it.
