(Atm I'm working from my mobile device, bare with me a bit. Normally I would finish the application as a whole, but I will do it in pieces as a WIP.)

Mode of Transportation:

Personality traits:
Good; Protective,Trustworthy, Good Hearted. Three words to easily descibe Gale's emotions. Even post-apocalypse he manages to maintain these qualities. Although his trust is there and available for the common good man, he is still no fool to the surrounding world or its inhabitants.
Bad; Assertive, triggerable anger and depression. The most to stand out would be his triggerable anger, which comes from anything directed at the family members he himself has lost. Marcus's nature would also induce him to protect a victim of such inconsiderate, malicious actions. He doesn't snap, but it's not impossible to avoid a fight if reasoning isn't applicable.
Strengths and Flaws:
As for physique, Gale is easily able to to stand next to men well over his age. Being very actively involved in breakdance, he's in peak condition for his age. He's self taught and well versed in the martial arts JKD, even training in his normal life regularly with another fighter and close friend. Besides a knife, his lack of melee weapon skills left him pushing himself as into a skilled sharpshooter with rifles and handguns. His knees are also slightly weaker from years of dance, making them a bit more injure prone. The only other weakness of his would be his eyesight. It's not completely impaired, but at great distances his vision is blurred.
Background Story:
(Pre/Day One/Post)
Pre- Apocalypse may have been the best twenty two years of his life. Although he wasn't making his Mother(Andrea Gale) too happy in neglecting Collegr as his follow up for graduation, she couldn't be anything but proud for Marcus in finding a passion to create happiness while generating revenue. He was living on his own since he had graduated(Age17), held up in the burrows of Manhattan not too far from family. He had off and on relationships and one night stands inbetween his time made for work/dance. He also indulged deeply in music, as his family full of such a art form.
Day One:
A little after his 20cnd birthday began the end of all days. He was just returning to thd city from Virginia when it all began at the bus station for him. Horrid death traveling. All around, he had no idea what to do accept attempt to call his ride, which had been his cousin Marty. Before he could even dial the number, his cousin made it to Marcus and got escorted him towards his police car as safely as possible. Gale later had to kill his own cousin only minutes after they had found his immediate family dead at home. Without knowing his cousin was bitten, he narrowly escaped thehl home with Marty's weapon and some supplies. Tears filled his eyes, his journey began as the cruiser shot down nyc streets full of the dead. The only place he could think at the time was VA.
Post Apocalypse:
Gale stayed in Virginia until he was twenty four. Smithfield was his immediate guess as an area of safety, it was close from ny and like a wasteland in his opinion. Nothing but fields and trees, he also knew the population was low due to driving through on work.That lasted those two years fairly well; he even had a nice seven man and woman group excluding two chilren. Eventually, as some of the group had been speculating, a few walkers over night teemed like a horde suddenly one day. Skipping details, they were forced to evacuate a fortified farmhouse and eve ended up getting seperated. Gale has been traveling in the police cruiser ever since as any homeless survivor does(scavenging and surviving)
