[attr="class","blackheading"]BACKGROUND
Marcos is the son and heir of the highly-respected Amuro family, a very young magus family that had just began from Macos' father. Their unimpressive lineage would normally not be a source of attention within the magus community until Marcos' father honed his own unique technique that revolutionized the concept of magic circuits, which had then become the family crest of the Amuro family.

Despite the success and fame the Amuro attained, Marcos' family remained humble, modestly living in a small two-story house for the three family members and their family pets. Their expenses were pooled for travelling and education, a life Marcos grew up with quite happily.

Marcos was diligent and quickly became knowledgeable of various cultures around the world. He made the effort to familiarize himself with the country's language to interact with the locals, an act inspired by his love for the Filipino hero Dr. Jose Rizal.

The Amuro's beginnings had help from a high-ranking person among the magus society. When Macros' father heard of the news of the stolen grail, he responded instantly and volunteered to help. An Amuro did not forget kindness. An Amuro knows how to have an utang na loob.

While there were more competent magus fit for a Grail War, the Amuro could be counted on for their faithfulness. Marcos' father was set and ready for the holy war and conducted the summoning ritual. But he failed. The Amuro's family crest required absolute perfection, or the immense prana would explode and fry their few, precious magic circuits. Marcos' intervention managed to save his father's life and complete the summoning, but it was too late to save his father's magic. His father then urged Marcos to take his place. Though hesitant, Marcos eventually agreed.

[attr="class","redheading"]PERSONALITY
Marcos has a very mild and friendly personality. Getting along with people comes naturally for him since he's often driven to learn and understand other people as part of his growing experience. While inclined to engage in intelligent discussions, Marcos is just as comfortable around idle chatter and gossip. His knowledge and interest on diverse topics and collection of stories gathered from around the world has made him a very engaging person to talk and listen to.

Not only is Marcos very congenial to his fellows, he's also obedient and respectful to his parents. He has no vices. He's just as athletic as he is smart. His parents can't really ask for a better son.

As far as his non-magus friends are concerned, Marcos is quite easygoing and lighthearted. His life as a normal student is Marcos' outlet and way to stretch from the stress and pressure of his training as a magus. He's fine with a B or a C in a test, but when he misses a 0.02 compression size from his goal? Marcos is out pulling his hair.

While ingrained with values, Marcos is not a passionate person who wants to set an example to others. He has a good conscience, but may prioritize his own interests over others. As a person, he is selfish, but come someone who can rally others along, Marcos can be pushed to join the wave.

Marcos doesn't believe he will have any rights with the Grail. He is motivated simply because it's what he's been tasked to do. He cannot run away, he cannot say no. He has to do it. Like when a teacher has tasked a student a project, then he has no choice but to comply. Having the support of the Association, Marcos is under the impression they aren't going to fail anyway.

[attr="class","blackheading"]COMBAT
  • Amuro Crest. The Amuro's motto is "quality with quality" and centres around the concept of compression and overflow to achieve a state of equilibrium. Equilibrium is neither positive nor negative, also known as zero, which connotes unlimited possibilities. It is a form of exactness where there is no room for less or more.

    COMPRESSION. If each Circuit is capable of holding 20 units of prana, then imagine squeezing 3 units of prana to the size of 1. Each Circuit would then be able to handle 60. Marcos is able to compress prana for up to 24.883201 per unit, averaging around 15 with 13 as his lowest, the compression size he achieved when he first practice the technique as a child. The times he can compress the prana is theoretically infinite, but as it is a magic still in development, it remains inconsistent.

    OVERFLOW. The compressed prana can be released in small or large amounts; however, like a dam filled with restless water, Marcos can lose control. If he's not careful or compresses far too much than he is capable of, he can lose his life like how his father almost did.
  • Elemental affinity: Wind and Earth. Basic at most. Marcos doesn't exactly have the time to spare to hone other branches of magic.
  • Healing magic. The original intent of the Amuro Crest was for self-healing. Marcos also has interest in medicine, so he knows a few handy healing spells.
  • Acute sensitivity to magic. It's not a surprise considering the nature of the Amuro Crest. Like the power of a dog's nose, Marcos can sense the faintest magic and put up a good estimate on just how much prana it's worth. Usually reliable but takes a moment to do.
  • Great mental strength. He's not infallible, but Marcos has the ability to stay calm and focused way more than others who might be older or more experienced than him. It comes with being the heir of the Amuro Crest, a magic that requires nothing but perfection.
  • Poor Magic Circuits. Nothing changes the fact Marcos has poor Magic Circuits. He posses 8 Circuits, less than half of an average magis'. Each of his Circuit can hold 5 units of prana. In his max compression, hold 960 total of mana.
  • Prepared and needs preparation. He needs to be able to prepare a good amount of prana he can readily use and then estimate how much of what he has is going to his Servant. He's prepared because he needs to be. If he's not as prepared, things might turn out badly. Compressing under pressure? Hard enough being a teenager.
  • Support/Recon. Not really meant for combat.
