Marston Quote: “I’m capable of getting anything if I really want it. As far as shapeshifting goes, I’m against it — not because it’s wicked Nockie magic, but I’d never resort to becoming a common, lowly animal.”
Magic Wand: Creighton Crowley recently saw Marston at Swartrutters purchasing a 14-inch wand in preparation to start his apprenticeship. Swartrutters is a magic supplies store known to sell illicit wands under the counter. A red-oak wand with a turquoise stone handle isn’t necessarily illegal, but the odds of it being all that it seems are slim.
Community Status: Some of the Sanguinati elite like Marston, but he often damages his endeavors as a result of his nasty outbursts.
Marston Quote: “It touches my soul when others finally recognize my genius.”
Political Beliefs/Affiliations: Traditional Sanguinati.
Marston Quote: “If I were in charge, I’d put an enchantment all across the land of Severance to keep out the Noctivatians, Nizzertits, and the Sorcerers.”
Sense of Humor: Marston enjoys seeing others humiliated and punished. Hobbies/Recreations: Marston enjoys gossip and strives to impress everyone. He isn’t nearly as competitive as Twila, only because he’s not as talented or athletically inclined to win. Marston Quote: “And just for the record, if I participated in Spurgmulin or other enchanted sports I would win, it’s just that I have better things to do with my time. If I were to list all my strengths, it would take far too long. I’d get bored.” Tastes in Clothing: White shirts, brown and black suits and robes. Marston goes berserk if he gets one wrinkle in his clothing. He insists on a perfect alignment of his shirt buttons with his belt buckle and trouser fly.
Voice: Snide, arrogant tone with a hint of uncertainty in himself. Sometimes Marston is long-winded, and he interrupts others. Marston Quotes: “Take note, stars that govern: I’m doing a good deed here by not punishing all who threaten to taint our Sanguinati Destiny, Heredity, and Ministry.” “I have to hold back so much of my capabilities; that is my onlydisappointment. That I obey my Sanguinati superiors when I could do things that would single out the cancer in our assembly.”
