Dale Vintropolis, Systems Engineer for a tech firm in Funky City

Markus was raised by his father and a menagerie of women his father was involved with during Mark's childhood. When he reached the age of sixteen, his growth was almost completely under the supervision of a man named Seymour Jones. Seymour was the DJ of a local radio station where Mark spent most of his time after school. He taught Mark how to get information from darker sources than the media, and use it to inform the people. By the time Mark was in his twenties, he had his own show and kept the denizens of his neighborhood informed on the happenings throughout the city. When he was twenty four, Mark found Seymour Jones in his DJ booth filled with bullets. Seymour had just broadcast a bulletin regarding organized crime.

When Mark pursued the incident further, he found himself under fire. It seemed that he was being framed for Seymour's murder. When he finally caught up to his primary suspect, the police were one step behind him. Mark killed the man he sought and went into hiding. Soon, with his father's help, he had a ticket to ride on a shuttle into Yamataian Space. When he arrived in Yamatai, he immediately began looking for work. He spent a few years buying and selling information for a living before deciding to jump back into broadcasting.

At first, Mark tried to stay out of trouble; reporting bland engagement after engagement. After a year or so, he found himself reporting more and more controversial stories once again. When he was nearly killed in YE 30 by an angry Nepleslian gun-runner who had been ousted by one of his stories, Mark decided to find his excitement in another way.

Within weeks he had applied for opportunities with Origin Industries, in the field of Communications. He was quickly accepted based on his experience and assigned to a post aboard the OIF Atuan. Mark served on the OIF Atuan, the Atuan II, and finally on the Atuan III as an Electronic Warfare Officer. He often flew as a copilot seated behind Taela Kaila, and regards her as one of his close friends.

In between stints on the various Autuans, Markus acts as a DJ on one of Dawn Station's radio channels; hosting a show which plays obscure jazz and blues music in the early morning hours.

Due to his wide experience in the field of Broadcasting, Mark knows how to operate almost any piece of communications equipment available. He also posses skills in overlaying sounds, and creating effects to trick any listeners who have anything less than very good ears.

Being left to fend for himself in the kitchen through most of his life, Mark is an excellent cook through the process of trial and error. He has learned many tricks that aren't taught in cookbooks and a few that are. With these skills he can make a meal the likes of which are usually seen at magnificent banquets for extremely rich clientèle.

In line with his communications skill, Mark has an extreme proficiency when it comes to the repair and rebuilding of broadcasting equipment. This skill also extends into a basic knowledge of electronics work and on-the-spot field repairs.

Mark was taught by a veteran of Journalism how to obtain information from crooked sources. He has learned how to deal with thugs from all corners of the galaxy and has spent time with enough hardened criminals to know that there's a certain way to talk to him. And he talks the talk.

Having found his way into the radio industry, Mark was forced to keep his show fresh and entertaining. He has worked out how to guild his speech to suit different crowds and express different ideas with appropriate force. While this ability does not follow him into his personal life, it can be assured that when he's on the job, Mark will make it exciting.

Due to his unexpected relocation to Yamatai, Mark was forced to learn conversational Yamatai-go very quickly. Over the years, he's increased his understanding of the language to the point of almost perfect fluency. His accent is so slight, that it appears only for the distinction which it give his voice.

Being raised in Funky City is tough, no matter who you are. Mark inevitably learned some fighting skills during his childhood, and he wielded guns as a teenager and later as a broadcaster. When he tracked down his mentor's killer, he became very intimate with forty-five caliber handguns and revolvers.
