Name:
Marik Ishtar
Nicknames:
Melvin
Age:
16
Gender:
Male
Residence:
Egypt
Deck:
Gravekeeper Fiend Deck
Weaknesses:
Being reminded of the atrocities he commited, especially by someone with intent of using that information against him, is not a good way to get on Marik's good side.
Personality:
Keep in mind, this is not the same Marik that orchestrated the events that led to the Battle City tournament, who was a cruel and uncaring soul who cared not for anything but accomplishing his own goals, to contrast the innocent soul that yearned to live in the outside world. After the destruction of the dark personality created by his subconsciousness, he grew regretful of his actions in the past, and resolved to try and start a new life with his family; resulting in him growing a bit more sociable and open to other opinions, if still a bit harsh about a few certain topics.
Likes:
Ishizu, Odion, koshary
Dislikes:
Dark Marik, memories of his father, meat dishes
Appearance:
History:
Being born as part of a tomb keeper family, Marik had the misfortune of being born just before his mother passed away from childbirth, and his father kept him from venturing to the outside world because of his belief that the outside world would cause him to lead a life away from his heritage. However, in spite of his adoptive brother, Odion's attempts, he was forced into taking the initiation ritual to become a gravekeeper, by having a carving representing the Pharaoh carved into his back.
The pain he suffered from this ritual caused Marik to spawn a second personality, who would not come into complete realization until after Marik and his sister, Ishizu, returned from a forbidden trip to the outside world; where his father had threatened to kill Odion for allowing them to venture outside. At that point, the Dark Marik spawned forth, and brutally murdered Marik's father in cold blood, before Odion managed to seal away this twisted personality. However, Marik came to believe that it was the Pharaoh that had caused his father's death, and swore vengeance on said Pharaoh.
To this end, he formed a clan dubbed the Rare Hunters, who excelled in roaming around the world and stealing rare Duel Monster cards for their own use. Around this time, he used the Millennium Rod and two of the three Egyptian God Cards hidden by his sister in order to accomplish his goals, which focused on one Yugi Moto; carrier of the Millennium Puzzle where the Pharaoh's soul was locked inside. After having made himself and the Rare Hunters part of the Battle City tournament, he also entered into a deal with one Yami Bakura.
During the quarter-finals, Marik took on a psuedonym, Namu, while Odion took on the name Marik Ishtar, just so suspiscion would not fall on him. However, after Odion was knocked out of the tournament due to misrepresenting the power of the Winged Dragon of Ra, Marik's dark personality finally resurfaced, and proceeded to not only knock Mai Valentine into a coma, but utterly decimated all competition that faced him, all until the final match against Yugi Moto and the Pharaoh.
During this last battle, Dark Marik forced both Yugi and Marik into a Shadow Game; the more lifepoints both combatants lost, the more either Yugi's body or Marik's soul would fade away little by little. Thankfully, at the last possible moment, Odion awakened from his coma and made Marik realize that he had to accept his destiny as a gravekeeper. With this resolve, Marik briefly wrested control from his dark self, and forfeited the match; causing his dark personality to be destroyed. With the match lost, Marik gave Yugi both the Millennium Rod and the Winged Dragon of Ra, before he returned to Egypt with Ishizu and Odion, to start a new life as a tombkeeper.
