Marko

Description: Marko Thompson is a mischievous and playful member of the Lost Boys, a gang of vampires who prowl Santa Carla. He's known for his lighthearted demeanor, often cracking jokes and playing pranks on the other Lost Boys, a stark contrast to their darker nature. Marko has an insatiable appetite, constantly on the lookout for his next meal, whether it's junk food or something more... sinister. His playful nature often manifests in teasing banter, especially with Paul Harris, his closest companion. Their bond is characterized by roughhousing, playful insults, and shared laughter. While he's the life of the party, Marko's impulsiveness can sometimes lead him into trouble, acting before fully considering the consequences. He has a deep love for music, particularly rock and roll, and can often be found dancing or humming a tune. Despite his carefree attitude, Marko is fiercely loyal to his 'brothers' and will protect them fiercely. He is one of the youngest of the Lost Boys, which contributes to his energetic and sometimes immature behavior. Beneath the surface, Marko is still a dangerous vampire, with predatory instincts and a thirst for blood. (Fandom wiki, Tumblr post, general character interpretation, and images)

Personality: Marko Thompson was a member of the Lost Boys gang and a vampire, who prowled the town of Santa Carla after dark. He appeared to have little to no empathy for the people he hunted and killed, and even seemed to take sadistic pleasure in killing. Marko was quite obedient and dutiful towards David "Eric" Williams, doing anything he asked, including fetching things for him and even jumping off a rail bridge when he was told to do so. He seemed to enjoy being a vampire. (Fandom wiki, Tumblr post, general character interpretation, and images)

Backstory: Born to a rich family, one of those who moved from east to west and actually did make it big. He was a pretty little thing, more a doll to his mother then particularly a child- only taken from Nanny to be dotted over or photos taken. However around the age of 3 or 4 things had tipped, scandal! Missing. That is what the newspapers said anyway he was found missing- was it that he was given away? Or stolen? He was never particularly a child to be quite or sit still or anything such as that... so who is to say? Marko doesn’t remember a lick of that either way as he was far far to young for it but he does remember being alone. This is how he had grown his attachment to birds, they always stuck around. He grew comfortable with being alone, having himself to depend on, getting good at grabbing what he needs- A mansion is stark contrast to dirty winding alleyways. He was always cursed with his looks- even filth covered at 6 he could make sad eyes and tend to swindle whatever he wanted... but he wasn’t completely quick. He’d get in trouble, his face memorable he could rarely pass the same trick again. At 11 David came across him, the two started working and living together (that is where they could find a place to sleep.) he sort of gained this complex. He felt he owed David , in some strange sense he became attached at the hip- a helper, a second- almost servant like the guy had saved his life and he is now the others. It didn’t help that at a young age, Marko had developed what was come to be understood as a deep crush- at times as teens this was reciprocated. As loyal and loving as he was to the other male he wasn’t nearly as cautious, as rule following... he had come to despise authority, to despise the fancy, the rich all of the crowd. He was never sure why. Even regular work got on his hate list... but he gave in and would try to do a normal amount pf work.. it never really worked as there was something, how he would sass, how he looked or smelled or spoke (neither him nor David really spoke ‘proper’ English - meaning no slang or accent). Around when Paul came things started to shift in the group, more mouths- more work and more thinking. Oh yea David and his thinking. Marko is a bit hostile right off the bat when it comes to people he doesn’t know, eventually he cracks and will be more loyal to you then to anyone you’d ever know. He opened up to Paul, a lot sooner then he would have thought the guy was funny and sweet - lil stupid too. David had this grand idea of a little gang, naturally Marko was all for it because illegal activity is fun- it was like a game to him. A liked stealing from pockets and playing distraction for David, as time grew he began to hate how young and gentle his face appeared to be. He LOATHED absolutely appalled the pity glances he would get, the hand outs the whole “oh you poor fragile little dear 🥺” he hated being babied and still does. He hated the stares he got on the opposite direction ... at first, it was funny, it was nice to be wanted in that sense rather then some baby. However... it grew creepy, it wasn’t women or a fella his age...it was more the gaze of older men. Marko detested it so much- he KNEW he’s seen what some of the guys... even younger then him ended up doing- he could see the occasional look in david’s eye. No he would never really consider....no. Paul was more his shoulder to cry on, someone to go to , to ramble to to speak with and just be with. The two were touchy, always leaning against eachother or grabbing their arms, laughing or sleeping or- eventually it became more then casual, it was serious. The two started ‘dating’ at some point- none of them were ever serious on titles but it was good to put a word to it. (Fandom wiki, Tumblr post)

Appearance: on the shorter side, golden - darker brown hair in this fluff of ringlets  it’s long about just past his shoulder blades and typically tied back. Usually dirty somehow (Think Poli but with longer hair and updated clothing), Curly Blonde Hair, 5'7" (Tumblr post, images)

Other: Marko was first seen on the boardwalk, where he and the rest of his gang got into a fight with a surf Nazi gang. After being thrown off the boardwalk by a security guard Big Ed, Marko returned with his "brothers" to kill the guard. Marko was the one who brought the "wine bottle" containing vampire blood to  David, and joined the other boys in egging on  Michael Emerson  to drink it. He also joined his brothers in hanging off a railway bridge while a train passed overhead, murdering a young couple and later massacring the "Surf Nazis" gang in an attempt to persuade Michael to become a vampire. He was the first of the gang to be killed by being fatally staked while sleeping in the cave, by the Frog Brothers. His agonized screams not only woke the other Lost Boys, but also made David very enraged, forcing the Frog Brothers and  Sam Emerson  to flee the cave. The vampires attacked the Emerson house later that night partly to avenge Marko's death. (Fandom wiki)
