User:Doom a-238/SPARTAN-A238



SPARTAN-A238, commonly known as Doom and less commonly known as Marcus, was a SPARTAN-III who fought for the United Nations Space Command. Marcus was recruited on the planet of New Jerusalem to join the SPARTAN-III program and trained with Alpha Company.

He was deployed with another group of Spartans, becoming a group called Nova Squad, to various planets behind the battlefront, notably a distant world called Tervasyr, where they would spend several months fighting the Covenant. Nova Squad was supported by a prowler, UNSC Silence. Marcus became known to the Covenant as a huge threat, both in close-quarters combat and in ranged fire fights. Despite being a SPARTAN-III, he was outfitted with non-standard MJOLNIR MK V and VI armour in order to fit his massive frame within a suit of armour.

Appearance
Marcus was incredibly tall and muscular, and needed a much larger suit of MJOLNIR armour to accommodate his unusual size. He was dark-skinned, dark-haired and dark-eyed. His hair was very short, slightly longer than a standard military cut. He his face had become heavily scarred from repeated blows, and had very little marks whatsoever. Despite spending most of his time in his armour, his skin remained dark even with a lack of sunlight. He had a Russian accent with his parents being of Russian decent and living in a Russian neighbourhood on New Jerusalem.

Personality
Marcus was incredibly violent and prone to outbursts of anger during the heat of battle, going out of his way to beat his enemy to death. He was not a skilled tactician, preferring a lone-wolf approach to battles. Marines and standard Army soldiers were terrified of him, fearing his immense strength and anger. He would always kill every enemy in a battle, only taking prisoners if he desperately needed to.

Early Life
Little is known about Marcus' childhood other than his recruitment into the SPARTAN-III Program. He had a Russian upbringing on New Jerusalem and his parents were killed by a drug-addicted psychopath. He had a heavy attachment to a AIE-486H heavy machine gun he found on a Halcyon-class cruiser just after he was augmented, going so far as to modify it so he could carry it on his back.

Human-Covenant War
For the entirety of the war, Marcus was put under the command of a Spartan-II, Lewis Cobolt-127. The two Spartans, along with SPARTAN-IIIs, Genocide and Durandal, they formed Nova Squad, a team devoted to the destruction of Covenant, anywhere they could find them.
