[name_m]Marcus[/name_m] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] (34) is Evie’s husband and the father of their children. He became a father at eighteen to their first child which people either don’t believe about him or think less of him when he says that, but [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] has always proven people wrong. He works as a librarian and enjoys it, saying he could “work there all day” but enjoys his family even more. [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] is very interested in books and says reading has always calmed him down from any stresses in his life.
He and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] were Prom [name_m]King[/name_m] and Prom [name_f]Queen[/name_f] in high school and he still loves looking back on that even though his friends find it corny. Lately many of the schools nearby have added a Prom Ruler, which is a title for non-binary people who want to be on Prom [name_m]Court[/name_m], which makes him happy that people have been more accepting of non-binary individuals. [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] is very anti-bullying and this comes from his teenage years of being stereotyped as a “dork” for loving reading and “irresponsible“ for being a teen dad. [name_m]Even[/name_m] in elementary school, [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] was considered “ugly” as a kid even though he grew up looking more handsome. Still, he doesn’t support his bullies back then because he believes “kids should be kids” and shouldn’t be judged if they’re “not good looking enough” because he was only a child in grade school. He has said he would switch his children into a different school if the school didn’t do enough against bullying. He adores his little daughter [name_f]Dodie[/name_f] and loves that his wife also enjoys reading to her and much as he does. He wants to raise her in a world of love and compassion but also supports her in the sense that she is “just a baby” and doesn’t need to deal with the harshness of people in society.
