Personality: Outwardly he appears like he doesn't take life seriously at all. He seems to take everything as some kind of joke. He also appears to like to complain a lot. However, he is actually serious but doesn't like to appear that way. He can see what needs to be done in certain situations, even if the action needed is ruthless.
He is able to see things that his fellow Animorphs miss.
Marco never wanted to fight in the war and only joined since Jake, his best friend, wanted to fight. He wasn't a coward for not wanting to fight, as he cares for his father. Marco thought that his mother passed away and that he was the only thing for his father to hold onto. Once he found out his mother was alive and the host of Visser One, he was in the fight for the long haul.
Appearance: Marco is Hispanic. He has brown skin and dark hair. The only thing he isn't proud of in his appearance is his height.
Background: Marco used to have two parents. He was close to his mother and was devastated when she died. He wouldn't learn how to swim as his mother's death haunted him that much.
While he used to live with enough money, his father was taken aback by his mother's death and stopped working at his previous job. He eventually got a job as a janitor. Marco then had to deal with living with less.
When he went through the abandoned construction site with his friends and met the Andalite, he didn't like having to deal with a war. He didn't think that Jake really knew what could happen as his best friend never knew loss. He lived in perfect family.
During the start of the war he didn't want to fight. However, he would make sure his friends wouldn't do something that would get them noticed or killed. He would looked after them even as he complained about it.
It wasn't until he discovered that Visser One's host body was his mother's that he joined the fight. After he found out his mother was alive he decided not to quit fighting until she was free.
Marco was glad when his father decided to take a job as something that better suited him.

Leoff 568/Sub-Visser 19: And it was the Andalites who are responsible for it all happening. Have you ever heard of Prince Seerow?

Marco Ritz: You mean a pretty chill dude whose kindness was repaid by the Yeerks taking advantage of him? And let's say he's really bad, the whole Andalite race doesn't have to think they did it. It isn't like one guy equals the entire race.

Marco Ritz: And he wasn't the one screaming genocide, that would be Alloran.

Leona Marie Cabbell: I could see humans allowing the yeerks to stay and take voluntary hosts. They could also help our justice system. Instead of putting violent offenders in jail just up a yeerk in their head so their's no risk of them reoffending.

Leona Marie Cabbell: But I think the average yeerk prefers an all out invasion.

Forlin & Arliss 557: I favour a quid-pro-quo arrangement. Yeerk and host share everything. I've declined to share my laziness with Forlin, however, as he wouldn't benefit from it. -- Arliss

Forlin & Arliss 557: And of course, hosts must be voluntary. No involuntari3s. The others could be used in the Justice system. Perhaps the rest could acquire Hork Bajir and be soldiers? Morph them I mean.

Birchurawkp: Peace would be better than war. More beneficial to both sides.

Sazka 14: how would it benefit my people? Even the strictest of earth justice systems only jail 1/100 of their people, and we'd be giving up our other hosts. You'd condemn us to life of blindness and drudgery.

Leona Marie Cabbell: There is also of possibility of all Yeerks becoming Nothlits. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Andalites ended the war by sharing technology?
Mar 1, 2015 17:02:47 GMT -6
Birchurawkp: I would assume any Yeerks that wouldn't comply would be sent offworld to be dealt with. The fate of the Yeerks shouldn't be entirely up to any one species. Andalites are too close and humans are too young to galatic matters.
Mar 1, 2015 19:36:26 GMT -6
Birchurawkp: And if some Yeerks got morphing powers and became nothlits then you wouldn't be blind to the world.
Mar 1, 2015 19:36:53 GMT -6
Sazka 14: so my race should be extinguished then?
Mar 1, 2015 22:06:11 GMT -6
Birchurawkp: No, of course not. No species should be eradicated. Each species provides a unique perspective on the galaxy. As a Yeaflon, I would never suggest genocide. If no Yeerks could live on Earth then to live on Earth they would have to become (c)

Birchurawkp: nothlits or move to a different world. My good friend Norpo is not someone who I think should be forced to leave his host Ti as she likes his company and he likes her.

Leona Marie Cabbell: Your race should learn to coexist with other races, rather then try to rule them.
