*Marcus spends his final days in prison debating his life and is quiet.

*Marcus kisses Dr. Kogan and signs away his executed body to Cyberdyne Systems for a kiss.

*Marcus dies in prison for the first time.

*Marcus’s body is carted off and made into a unique mix of terminator and human, a Terminator Hybrid and Infiltration unit. Project Angel was the project’s name run by Dr. Serena Kogan. Project Angel was originally used as a project where humanity could be expanded into something more but then Cyberdyne bought the project, using terminators like Marcus as military weapons instead and eventually Skynet took over.

*15 years later- As Marcus wakes up from being revived, he finds out he’s alone and in a hellish like the landscape of destroyed Los Angeles in 2018.

*Marcus runs into a teen named Kyle Reese and Star, who by coincidence are the only survivors of the la branch of the Human Resistance.

*Marcus shows Kyle how to handle a weapon after Kyle Reese literally points it at him.

*Marcus refuses to listen to go back to Skynet territory after Kyle, Star begs him not to go, but reluctantly accept only to get captured by a giant terminator.

*Marcus steps on landmines meant for war machines and he blows up, revealing his terminator side.

*As he is revealed to be a terminator, he is strapped on a missile silo where he is shot at by Barnes and his girlfriend, Blair. He has feelings of betrayal there.

*Blair helps Marcus to escape being trapped and John and the Resistance follow. Blair is captured and interrogated and Marcus volunteers to go find Kyle Reese

*John is wary at first but allows him to find him with help. John goes with Marcus and Marcus goes to rescue Kyle and Star from the facility but ends up fighting a T-800. Marcus gets knocked out and John gets a pole shoved in his heart and survives. John revives Marcus with electricity and Marcus beats the T-800 with Kyle and John’s help.

*John is rescued along with Marcus.

*Marcus gives away his second chance and gives his human heart up

*Marcus dies for the second time

*Marcus’s third chance begins when Skynet needs John’s help against the forces of Parnell and the bloody terminators.

*Skynet revives Marcus and Marcus’s heart can grow back via regeneration and his backup systems.

*Marcus is alive again and leads the Resistance while John does what he needs to do to fight Parnell’s bloody machines.

*Skynet and John make peace and end the war.

Character Personality: In reality, Marcus was a criminal on death row when he was executed by “lethal injection” due to crimes of killing his own brother and two cops, spending most of his life in prison. Everything he believed about himself in prison in his life and on the last days of his life, he thought he was worthless and nothing mattered more than people’s own harsh opinions on him as a “monster. However he had an unusual trait about him: Most criminals would be willing to defend themselves, giving excuses. Marcus believed his death was just and the value of other humans had higher worth than himself.

He was ready and willing to give up everything to die. He thought he might make people happy to get rid of him as he gave his body up to Cyberdyne System’s “Project Angel”, run by Dr. Serena Kogan.

He was then turned into a unique mix of Terminator and human better known as a T-Hybrid prototype. He was used as an infiltration unit for Skynet to kill Connor but he broke programming to save Connor’s life.

However, there is more to Marcus instead of a monster who is seen as a killer and nothing more. He had no final words to say on his execution. His own eyes reveal a man looking for another chance to live out his life in the right direction.

When someone meets Marcus, they notice his determination. He is an extremely hard worker and will push through any sense of obstacles to get to a goal. Like they say “This man can move mountains” when he pushes hard enough. He is extremely gutsy and will go above and beyond the call of duty to show his worth to someone. However, his emotions are hurt easily and usually go to an extreme at anything relating to his past especially relating to memories of his dead brother.

However, Marcus is extremely loyal to a fault and does not take betrayal well. He “takes no shit” when it comes to protecting his loved ones and allies. He’s gone to lengths such as stabbing a guy in the knee, being the first man in line to save John Connor and give up his own heart and protecting Blair with a wooden board.

When Marcus takes a leadership position in Final Battle, he is promoted when John Connor is away. He changes for the better as he’s able to lead the Resistance as a high commanding officer to help defeat a common enemy. John Connor’s respect for the common man makes Marcus, not a terminator to him but more than that. Someone who can be trusted for who he is and not for his past mistakes.

Powers and Abilities:

Marcus has regeneration abilities with his skin and his heart. It just takes something light to eat to regenerate the important parts of his body.

Marcus can also lift 2 times a regular human can.

Marcus is possibly the only terminator that can swim.

Marcus can feel pain from fire and psychological pain like a human can.

-Marcus has no idea he’s a terminator but accepts he’s more human-like than most terminators.

-Marcus’s weaknesses are that he has a major flaw: His organs can cause him to go unconscious and or he can be disabled if hit in certain areas in his heart.

Network:

[Marcus stared at the device, instinctively flinching for a second before typing.]

[The cyborg just started to type.]

“Ok, look Skynet’s not going to track my location here, right?”

“Good.”

In that case, my name is Marcus. I’m new to this place. All I know is that I heard a voice telling me to “wake”.

[Marcus is silently staring at the camera]

“So, right. Has anyone seen a woman named Blair Williams, a man with brown hair and tall named John Connor wearing a fur coat or greenish fatigue wearing woman named Kate?”

[Marcus remembered the time he had to bury John’s human body in his timeline]

“So it’s hard to explain here but the situation is in my timeline is that Skynet and the Human Resistance are no longer enemies. Hard to swallow at times, I know.

But I know the John Connor of my timeline transferred his soul into a body of a T-800 so he could live on.”

[Marcus closed his eyes for a second in respect for the man he knew in his timeline]

Time travel can be extremely complicated and so can my past.

[Marcus blinked again on screen]

I prefer not to talk about my past unless it is in private. It is hard to understand if you are put in a position such as this.

[Something about Marcus was revealed for a second as a flake of false skin peeled off to reveal the metallic part underneath.]

On instinct, Marcus grabbed something to cover the missing part of his face.]

“…. I need a moment..”

[The screen reappears with Marcus on it.]

“There was a quick problem I needed to take care of, it’s fixed now.”

Third Person:

Marcus bent down, staring over the makeshift memorial he’d made for General Connor. He didn’t exactly see eye to eye with the General but he respected the man enough to give him his own cross with a Resistance band flying over it. He bent down as a light form of respect to the old man after he’s given his life back home.

“Damnit, Connor. What the hell am I going to tell your wife? That you made a careless mistake and suddenly you are dead?!”

The human-like terminator squeezed his fists so hard, blood came dripping down, forcing Marcus to relive past memories.

“Skynet didn’t win, no. Not while he was here. It turned out different, I saw the whole thing end right there.

He was forced to imagine different scenarios as to how Connor exactly didn’t see the end coming like he was supposed to. Marcus felt like he was talking to himself, over the wind.

His pokemon were just as annoying, saying nothing but “Ri, Ri Ri.” He didn’t understand why Connor had adopted talking animals like this.

They tended to follow him wherever as well.

It must have been a comfort thing or something.

The half terminator took a few steps and then looked over his shoulder, peering back, seeing the pokemon were still there oddly enough.

It was actually starting to creep the half terminator out.

Fate seemed to hold the dirt “Riiiiii.. RI! RihiRihi.”

Marcus muttered, “What are you saying?!”

Once again nothing came out but sad sighing “Ri! Rihirihiachu.”

The terminator looked up at the night sky and sighed “I don’t know what I’m going to do with you two.”

Fate and Hope looked up into Marcus’s eyes all cutely and sad.

“Alright, ALRIGHT! Stop with the cute eyes! You can come with me, just no puppy eyes alright.”

The two cheered “RIII!”

Marcus just grunted and rolled his eyes.

The two pokemon wore Resistance bands. It was actually kind of cute how much of Connor they had in them.

Something about this place brought peace to the half terminator. Something more. Perhaps he’d find a purpose in his immortal life as terminators began to age.
