What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Celebrating earning his degree of law among family and friends.
Description of personality: Marcus is an outgoing individual with a strong sense of justice and ambition. Though he does not like to admit it, his outgoing nature is more of the result of him bottling up negative emotions about his life and about his family that manifests itself into a mask of optimism over his core of realism. Though he does legitimately seek to be kind, kindness is seen as secondary to achievement and ambition.
Where in the world are you landing?: Dhaka, Bangladesh
Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ):
Marcus Turner was born in the Queens Burrow of New York as the youngest of three children. Growing up, he had a fairly average childhood, doing well in school and even some athletics before his father left the home when he was ten. For Marcus, growing up afterwards without a father were some of the hardest years of his life as his two older sisters moved onto college and out of the house and his mother worked day in and day out to become the first in her family to earn a college degree. As a result of this, Marcus was left mountains of time to himself to think, to allow the hatred he felt for his father for abandoning him to fester before it became the core of what drove him. When his mom did eventual graduate college, she found not the optimistic young boy she knew before, but a determined young man ready to take on the world. He and his mother moved out of the city shortly after her graduation, moving instead to suburbs due to the increased income his mother now brought to the table. Marcus himself had to move schools, becoming involved in track for the first time in his life which he loved, along with history with a passion.
Once Marcus reached adulthood his hard work finally began to pay off as he was selected for a scholarship to the Columbia Law School back in New York. For four long years he endevored to earn his degree before the day finally arrived in which he recieved it: the key with which he would unlock all the potential of his life. His family and friends celebrated soon after at their suburban home, when a knock came at the door. Marcus came to open it, and the last person he expected to see was there standing in the doorway: his father, broke and desperate. He wanted to yell at him to demand why he had left him for so many years but he couldn't manage do do so, instead remaining silent under the loud arguement that his father and mother got into. Instead, he avoided them, climbed up to his room, and closed his eyes, wishing everything would be better in the morning. However...
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: For the first few chapters of Marcus' story it will be him coming to terms both with his predicament now and in his past. He'll likely try to meet up with others much like him and perhaps attempt in vain to return to his own time. There will come a point in Marcus' time in the past, however, in which he will be thrust into a role of leadership of others that will quickly lead to the primary goal of Marcus' story: to found a benevolent, just Empire for those within its borders. I'll explain more about it later
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Rome, Achaemenid Persia, Cyrus the Great, Japan, Moses, King David
Why did you chose to land where you did?: This area in the world, right where I landed in Dhaka, is the prime location for a city of mankind. Navigable rivers, natural resources, rich farmland, the like. If humanity was given a chance to start over with knowledge of everywhere in the world to settle one great city, this is where it would be and what better place to put to capital of Marcus' eventual Empire?
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Persia, during the Achaemenid Dynasty with a hint of an Imperial Cult
What are your character's motivations?: To get back home in anyway he can. When that fails, to make the world a better place for all people.
Theme Song?: Here
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?:

Well, Berlin is certainly an area of heightened agricultural productivity, by dint of being near a river. Not excessively though. The Spree won't impact agricultural productivity as much as larger flood-prone southern rivers.

Comparative reconstruction of proto-Germanic is a thing that exists.
How do you think I got my character names?
