About

Full Name: Marco Ubaldo Diaz. Timeline: Future Timeline everything after the Realm of Magic’s Destruction and being summoned to new world. Description: In the future as Seventeen years old and onward after the Realm of Magic’s destruction and Earth & Mewni’s permanent separation, Marco's new main attire throughout the early parts of the series is his cheap, athletic-theme outfit he was summoned in. The ensemble consists of deep-grey tracksuit bottoms with an orange stripe down the side, black sneakers with vibrant orange laces and soles, and a black t-shirt. Additionally, Marco has with it a zipped-up white tracksuit jacket with a stand-up collar, deep-grey sleeves with an orange line running down their sides and orange cuffs, and deep-grey shoulders. On the left breast of the jacket is a black brand symbol that is reminiscent of the letter N. During the first trial in his eighteen loops, he can be seen wearing his school's official uniform, which consists of a blue blazer and trousers and a red tie. Later in the same eighteen loops, during his knighting ceremony, he wore the knight's official uniform, and a purple cape with the crest of House Mathers on its back was draped over his shoulders. In his eight loops and his thirteen loops, however, he wore a butler's uniform with an eagle emblazoned in the sleeve. In the Water Plumage Inn in his twenty-two loops, he wears a yukata. Later on, during the Battle for Priestella, Marco's right arm and leg were affected by Capella's cursed Dragon blood, thus he wrapped a bandage around his leg to hide the wound. Following his battle with the Elgina, the cursed blood that was visible on his arm is no longer there, and it appears to be back to normal. During his adventure in the Pleiades Watchtower in his forty-eight loops, Marco wore an outfit better suited for travelling. The outfit in question consisted of an orange scarf that matched the color featured on his track suit, black trousers tucked into lighter brown boots with black lacing, a black shirt that matched the shade of his trousers, a light brown buttoned blazer worn atop the shirt that ensured that only the shirt's collar was visible, a brown belt matching the shade of the boots, and an open green jacket. He also occasionally wore a long black hooded cloak alongside the outfit. In his four-hundred-fifty plus loops, Marco was forced to cross-dress and adopt the name Mariposa Blanco. During the Bloodless Siege of Guaral, Marco wore a transparent primarily white and orange long dancer's dress adorned with ornaments and gems, and a black wig, as well as a fake chest and a large amount of make-up. Following the group's victory and the departure for Chaosflame, Marco clad himself in a black wig and a primarily red and black military outfit with a red beretta, disguising himself as Vincent's female military advisor in order to not garner too much attention. Later in the same four-hundred-fifty plus loops, Marco took on the form of a 10-year-old child due to Olbart Dunkelkenn's infantilization technique. He began wearing an oversized green shirt with rolled sleeves and a yellow collar, as well as a yellow band serving as a makeshift belt for his jeans. However, he eventually returned to his original form towards the end of his one-thousand-fifty plus loops. In the future as Seventeen years old and onward after the Realm of Magic’s destruction and Earth & Mewni’s permanent separation, Marco is still a playful person who, despite the impression that his future developed eyes and face tend to give off, has a tendency to interact with the people around him with kindness, even if they are not fond of him, something which people like Otto Suwen, Rem, and even Petra Leyte noticed and found to be one of his best qualities. He also has a tendency to speak before he thinks, with one of his more tactless comments being about Frederica Baumann's teeth, and he is a habitual promise breaker, to the point that other have learned to not trust when he makes a promise. Despite speaking before he thinks things through, that trait has apparently helped other people, whether to keep calm or to give them courage when they needed it most. This being said, because his self-esteem had been reduced from the time that he was a child and the fact that he was given Return by Death, Marco has come to harbor a bad habit of trying to carry the burdens of the people around him on his shoulders alone, something which not only worries the people around him but also causes them to scold him regularly. He is also still a fiercely loyal person who treasures his relationships, and though he might not get along well with the people around him at times, especially in cases such as Julius, whose impression rubs him the wrong way, Vincent, whose ideals counter his in almost every way, and even Todd, who was his enemy in nearly every interaction they've had and was even responsible for the deaths of the people around him at times, he does not want to see any of those people die, being willing to use his Return by Death to save those very people if they died around him. This and his Authority have a tendency to confuse the people around him, and in Todd's case, it even caused him to greatly fear Marco; however, even then, he has still been shown to forgive those who have wronged him, such as Roswaal L. Mathers or Spica, and even extend his hand to people in need, including trying to assist someone whose mental state was shaken by the events that had assailed them, such as Aldebaran following the Great Disaster. His naiveté extends even to people he recently meets, and as such, does not condone sacrifices, and he is willing to go out of his way to help others while not showing the same concern for himself. Because of this, however, he can also become very shaken if he fails to save the people around him, like with what happened to Rem and Crusch Karsten in his twelve loops, Shaula in his forty-eight loops, and Priscilla Barielle in his one-thousand-fifty plus loops. However, after arriving in Lugunica and experiencing multiple tragedies, Marco has grown to fiercely detest the Witch Cult, to the point that in one of his failed loops, he had been so angry that his aggression led him to try to gain allies to fight them but failed in each attempt, even having been used for information while he was experiencing his severe tunnel vision and hatred. Of course, while he has been able to curb his hatred of them and act much calmer since then, his hatred for them is still intense. In particular, his hatred for and fear of the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, who was responsible for Rem's comatose state for over a year, was much more severe than the rest. Likewise, he is very liable to become hostile and extremely distrustful towards people that seem like his enemies, such as when he snapped at Eridna when she revealed herself to be "Echidna", who he already distrusted, and her behavior being so close to the original's only fed into that distrust, or his initial behavior toward Spica, who was born from one of the Gluttony siblings, Rui, despite her having no memories as Rui. As a child, Marco was much more confident and often a jokester who always stood out and was the center of attention, and he was often surrounded by friends who would play around with him. However, as time went on, despite initially feeling pride at being compared to him, Marco became a very insecure person suffering from a severe inferiority complex due to growing up in his father's shadow. This caused him to develop a fundamental misunderstanding of relationships where he believed he would be abandoned if he wasn't the center of attention. He began acting eccentrically, performing actions in a way he thought was similar to his dad in an effort to try and make friends and not be alone, but he briefly stopped doing that in Echo Creek, in the Echo Creek Academy, and when first time meeting Star but all of that got reverted back after permanently losing Star and his dimensional friends forever and becoming depressed before his family moved to Japan some times after. Even his otaku-tendencies were really just another method he used to stand out. Ironically, though, these desperate attempts to connect to others only caused him to make a fool of himself and push others away, and the more stressed he became, the more he acted out. In the end, however, he started pulling himself away from the public eye, going to school less and less, and eventually, not at all, and he started becoming somewhat distant from his parents, not even telling his worried mother goodbye when she told him kindly to take care, as he believed that his parents would be better off without him. After being summoned to a new world, he saw this as a chance to make a fresh start. Then, despite realizing he hadn't been given overpowered abilities typically accompanied by isekai protagonists, upon meeting Emilia and becoming enamored with her, he decided to devote himself to becoming the one closest to her and always saving her. Upon realizing he had been given the unusual ability of Return by Death, despite experiencing the pain accompanying it, he started to realize that he could challenge fate, which led him to believe that so long as he was around, he would be able to stop anything untoward from happening to the people he cared about, something which has led him to problematic situations, including a beating/public humiliation. Ultimately, he did not change as a person, and following his decision to continuously save Emilia, he was eventually exposed for what he was: a person who thought of himself as the hero of his own story and forcing their feelings on someone else, and he realized that his white knighting did not work out in the real world. The world then proceeded to show him how weak he was, that he couldn't save anyone. After facing numerous failures and deaths, witnessing the endless deaths of everyone around him and everyone pointing out all of his flaws, he felt utterly broken, and he wanted to run away. However, following his conversation with Rem, in which he pointed out everything negative about himself and that he hated himself, upon hearing Rem tell him everything she loved about him, including that he wasn't one to give up and that in her eyes he was a hero and that she loved him, he began to see himself in a somewhat better light. This became the turning point for his character; he truly made an effort to change himself rather than expect that as the supposed protagonist, everything would work out. Marco began reflecting on his actions and taking steps to amend his broken relationships, ultimately learning to become more considerate of Emilia's feelings rather than just forcing his expectation that she would reward him. Now, he tries to live up to the expectations of a hero that Rem had for him. Furthermore, following the events of his eighteen loops, upon experiencing the second trial, speaking with the Witches of Sin, and coming to understand somewhat the love that Satella had for him that she would even give him Return by Death, he resolved himself not only to save her, but also not to abuse his Authority in the same manner he does in the Greed If, only using it when he needs to challenge fate and save the people around him. This, in time, caused Marco to end up gaining self-harming habits, such as biting his lips or scratching his arms until they bleed, and so that he wouldn’t forget or become used to the feeling of pain that goes alongside his Return by Death, he’d even requested the poison he’d use later to be painful, something which others have questioned. In his forty-eight loops, he started seeing himself in a much better light after witnessing his memoryless self take on every challenge that assailed him in the Pleiades Watchtower, despite being pushed to the brink of despair brought about by Rui Arneb's machinations and mind games. Seeing from the perspective from an outsider boosted his confidence, and it allowed him to see what other people see. After his infantilization in his four-hundred-fifty plus loops, Marco regained much of his confidence that he’d lost as he aged, which when paired up with his usual habits alongside his Authority, have made him much more of a force to be reckoned with, as well as significantly bolder, allowing him to pick fights with and persuade people as stubborn as Gustav Morello and Jawsrough into following him. Likewise, he has shown to be even more charismatic, managing to gain the loyalty and friendships of nearly 1000 people during his travels in Vollachia, as well as the assistance of numerous similarly stubborn people such as the Nine Divine Generals and Vollachian Emperor. After reverting back to his original form, his personality has gone back to how it originally was. Marco was deeply affected by the events that led to Al's sealing, and because of this, an ambition was born within him to uncover the history of both the Kingdom and the world, as now, he believes he can no longer remain ignorant of it. Thanks to this, he has started to question some of the most base and fundamental aspects of culture, including the Dragon History Stone's prophecies, which he had a less than positive impression of after meeting a Stargazer, as well as the intentions of those behind it, as he suspected foul play, especially when considering the plague that took the lives of the royal family. At the same time, because of Al, and before him, Todd, he refused to lose anyone again without first attempting to talk things through with them, something which led to his decision to plead with and later assist Crusch in her crusade to locate national traitors and corruption.
