Marius Bickerton

SETTING: A small village called Crestfall Town far from the city chaos where you can find both green fields, a small forest in the north and the pier on the south. It is currently the Harvest Festival. The festival takes place in the town center, right in the middle between the pier, the forest and the farmers' fields. There are different stands: some to do shopping, some to gather supplies for your farm, some to taste the delicacies of the town, some even to do some fun games like dartboards or pool fishing! And then, when the sun goes down, everyone is invited to dance and play music in the town square: make sure to bring someone with you! Every day the festival will start at 9AM and will close at 10PM. On the third night all the participants will be brought to the pier to light up paper lanterns that will tint the sky with their glimmer to end the celebrations and wish everyone a happy and fruitful cold season.

HISTORY: Marius grew up on Crestfall Apiary which is owned by his father, Malcolm "Mal" Bickerton and will one day be inherited by him. His mother, Miriam, died during childbirth and Marius has no memory of her, but keeps a framed photo of her. He has some memories of his grandparents, but his grandmother, Mary, passed away when he was 6 and his grandfather, David, passed away one year later. As his father never remarried, he didn't have any female role models after his grandmother passed. Growing up, Marius was fascinated by the bees at Crestfall Apiary, and when he learned of their decline, he was dismayed and decided to dedicate his life to their preservation. As a teenager, he studied hard and also worked under his father at the apiary to learn as much as possible, then he enrolled at Cornell University to study entomology. His desire to save the bees has extended to other insects. His time at Cornell and living in a city has changed him somewhat, he has gotten tattoos and explored his sexuality, coming out as bisexual to his father, who accepted him. When he's at college he misses Crestfall Town greatly.
