FULL DESCRIPTION:[/color] It isn't hard to tell that Markandeya isn't a normal human. He is and looks quite dead. His skin and hair have taken on a dull green hue, and his face is all dark shadows. There is a stitched red cut on his cheek and several other places; the decay process has been frozen, but that also means he cannot heal. At least he cannot feel much. Most of the time, and always when dealing with visitors at the Cirque, he wears a skeleton costume with a suit jacket over it. He is average height but skeletally thin underneath. His hair has stripes of black and white mixed in with the green and is about chin length.

PERSONALITY:[/color] Markandeya has a simple mind that can be slow to process things; thus, he is a simple person who likes his environment to be as such. Though the question of why, when looking at life, does not escape him. Many times he grows to be melancholy, almost sad. Life at the Cirque is just fine, but for him and him alone it is not life. In spite of his gloom, Mark's temper is nonexistent. His emotions are not complex or as sharply felt as a regular person's, and it is difficult for him to understand any beyond sad and content. He can talk just fine but does not do a whole lot of it. However he will always listen, even if he cannot empathize, and it is that inability that causes his gloom. If anyone needs any help, all they half to do is ask. Mark seems to like making others happy at least. Some might find him to be gentle and interesting. He would never kill anyone who wasn't going to die anyway. Maybe it is no longer beating, but he has a big heart underneath everything.

HISTORY:[/color] Not much is known about Zeke Cokeworth. It is merely a name that stuck in Mark's mind some time after joining the Cirque. He was young, somewhere in his twenties, when he died. Died of murder, suffocation that left his brain and body intact. A few nights after the funeral, his eternal rest was interrupted by, you could say, a modern mad scientist. The young man was exactly the specimen he needed to test his newfound theory of bringing back the dead. He had also found a way to halt the decay process. Markandeya awoke in the underground lab with extraordinary human intelligence and feeling, but no recollection of who he was. Quickly, all he wanted was to get out of there, and he got his wish; the Doctor had not gotten to tell anyone about his success when he died in an explosion. Unmoved, Markandeya was set out into the world but was then saved by the Cirque. He did not and could not belong out there; but here were people who he did belong with. Even cravings for eating human brains, the only thing he can now, are not abnormal or a problem around creatures that drink blood. It was time for a wonderful second chance at life, whatever the first may have been. Sometimes he even gets to go onstage, but because he has no talents for an act, most of the time he just scares people while selling tickets at the door. It has been a year or two now and he is perfectly content.
