AU NAME: Marvin "Marv" Furuya AU AGE: 25 AU OCCUPATION: Former conman, looking for work. BLURB: Hailing from the 35th Super Sentai, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Captain Marvelous is a space pirate who constantly acts like he's only out for his and his crew's interests, but somehow keeps saving the world in the process. To quote a friend of mine from way back, he is "tsundere for justice." He can also summon the power of every other Sentai, but because of how that mechanically works in the show that's PROBABLY not gonna fly here beyond his base powers.
Here, however, things start a bit differently:
Marv started life fairly normally, and comfortably. The only child of doctors, he didn't really have to WANT for much as a kid. His parents were loving and had a strong moral compass, attempting to instill a good sense of right and wrong when he was young.
However, things didn't end well - on a humanitarian mission overseas, both of his parents were killed by being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Disillusioned, and without any real family to speak of to take him in, he bounced from foster home to foster home, becoming hell for anyone to deal with.
At one point he actually landed in a fairly well off home, but the head of the household was a real shady - but smooth - business investor. Long story short, he manages to eventually pilfer a great deal of the inheritance from Marv's parents, something that ends with him beating the ever loving shit out of the man and spending some time in juvenile detention.
Determined not to be used by the system he deems screwed over his life, Marv becomes quite skilled in certain abilities. Most of which ... kind of unsavory. By the time he'd become a young adult, he'd become quite the con man. While never doing anything that would hurt anyone DIRECTLY, and focusing often on those quite wealthy, he's rooked quite a few people out of money between scams, grifting, pick pocketing, some underground gambling, selling knock offs and "it fell off the truck, honest, it's completely not hot" merchandise. The whole nine yards.
Eventually he goes a little too far, steals some rich asshole's car and then he gets arrested and sent to BIG TIME jail. A lot of things come to a head then with a number of his "partners" ratting out a long trail of his misdeeds, and Marv ends up with a nice little prison sentence.
Given a lot of time to reflect on his life, once released he attempts to turn over a new leaf. Get an honest job. Make a real living. Of course, the past tends to keep clawing at him, and some habits are hard to break - especially when you have memories of being a FUCKING PIRATE hitting you. But also a superhero? How the hell does THAT work?
LOOKING FOR: Just about anything, but I'm shifting my goals from him initially, where he was going to START OUT the con man. I think this method is a lot more befitting his character's nature, as Marvelous is a hero constantly in a struggle with himself to be an asshole to everyone. Buuuut... still a hero, but you'll never hear him admit that.
