Twitch Bio
Ehy there! I'm one of the very first if not the first Italian Vstreamer! I'll livestream my free time with games that I wanted to catch-up and occasionally I indulge in 3D art while talking about this and that! Bring it, I won't bite... Not too hard!!"Ehylà! Sono uno dei primissimi se non il primo vstreamer italiano! Trasmetto il mio tempo libero con giochi da recuperare e occasionalmente mi prodigo nell'arte 3D mentre si parla sempre del più e del meno! Fatti avanti, non mordo... Non troppo forte!!"

Profile
Lupo Marcio is an undead wolf and is the Familiar of the dog Cherie, who is heard in the background of the livestreams. Having to stay close to her, he has found a place in the Spokesman's house and thus not having much to do when the latter is free, via psychic connection he makes live streaming using him as a means to do things with his hands that he couldn't do with his paws, since is not agile in these situations.

Appearance
He has the appearance of a larger than normal common wolf, with a purplish coat and a green crest that runs from the head to the withers. The crest is wild and at the base it emits a very slight greenish glow, defining its unnaturalness as it derives from the force absorbed from other creatures.

The eyes glow in the dark, with the iris shaded green around the edge and yellow towards the center, the red colored pupils glow intensely if the gaze is directed towards the beholder, while fades when looking away. The sclera is black, itself surrounded by a black border. His right eye has 2 healed cuts. The eyebrows are sharp lines that begin in a sickle shape to define the brow ridge typical of canines.

The ears have very light green internal hair with the right ear nibbled. The claws have the same color.

He has a green "moustache" and a well-defined mouth with large black corners dotted with scars, sharp teeth, with a yellow tongue and nose like the fingertips.

On his right shoulder and behind his left shoulder he has lumps, the skin is thick but they are slightly glowing in the dark. He has 2 large cuts on the right side which exposes most of the sternum revealing the internal organs and another cut on the left side of the abdomen near the thigh which reveals the intestines.

The tail gas half of the fur missing, with a good final part that now shows only the last little bones of it.

Background
The character was born from the research for a new nickname in the late 2014, which culminated with the union of his favorite animal the wolf and a pun with the Latin version of the author's name (Marzio), "Marcio" which in italian means "Rotten" Initially created as a project for youtube, mainly focused on shorts, where he would discuss today's society with monologues and questions with a touch of extreme cynicism, Lupo Marcio was supposed to be the visual representation of the society of the modern era. The first designs are conceived between 2015 and 2016, after various versions drawn on paper, the 3D modeling begins around winter 2016. Shortly before finishing the model, he cames across a Humble Bundle "Streamer bundle", with a commercial license from Facerig. Interested in the concept of 3D avatars and the extremely affordable price, he read the documentation and finding it feasible, he decided to change destination platform and actually want to be the first in Italy to use the software correctly. The slugginess of the production was mainly caused by inexperience mixed with unclear documentation, software with unpredictable behavior and intense study commitments that led him to take numerous breaks. With the model working and the full support of his friends TenagaComics and Noctuino, he is convinced to place a temporary texture and get ready to stream.

2017

 * On September 17, he starts streaming immediately with his appearance, admittedly in the beta phase.

2018

 * On August 20th his model comes out of the beta phase with the addition of normal maps and an improved "diffuse map", giving him some detail.
 * On November 13 thanks to the support of the community he is able to buy a leapmotion (now ultraleap) to move his paws, thus switching the avatar to version v1.1
 * He was forced to stop for a week due to a serious flu, on 8th December he recorded a video for his youtube channel to say that he was fine and what happened.

2020

 * On August 25 he was forced to close the public telegram chat group due to several problems caused by troublemaker users of all sorts, subjecting him to daily stress and sleepless nights. All this in favor of a private chat group that can be accessed if at least one sub has been made to the twitch channel, as a symbol of interest in the channel.

2021

 * On September 20, he goes on a marathon for the first time for 8 hours of streaming to celebrate his 4 years on the platform, warmly supported by viewers and colleagues.

2022

 * On May 4th he stops using Facerig to switch to Animaze, the model receives an improvement with v1.2.
 * On June 23rd he officially celebrates his first birthday live with an subathon, which thanks to the enormous support of his viewers has reached the duration of 12 round hours, and together with a group gift from the community he was able to buy a dedicated iPhone to improve tracking.
 * He declares that by early 2023 he will start streaming with a new avatar that he will produce during the month-long Christmas break.

2023

 * The initial date of the re-debut which was supposed to be January 16 unfortunately was not respected for mainly technical reasons.
 * He restarts streaming on January 23, with a clown face because in extreme disappointment at not being able to respect the deadline, declaring that he was very keen that his viewers know of his disappointment and that he will continue to do so until the new avatar will be released.
 * After being sure of being able to enter the golden phase with the model, he declares that on February 13th there will be the re-debut with his new avatar.

Spokesman

 * He names the human helper as Spokesman because it is actually the voice of the accompanying human.
 * Due to the mental connection between Marcio and the Spokesman, occasionally thought interference causes to say hands instead of paws.
 * Because of this connection, however not perfect, the Spokesman receives small visions of Marcio's past.

Miscellaneous

 * He can speak Italian and English.
 * He produced his avatar from the sketch to the final product.
 * Marcio does model and rig 3D avatars, specialized in Creatures.
 * He never starts on time because when he does, a problem occurred and sometimes it was unsolvable.
 * He feels unconfortable when called with the Spokesman's name and would rather it not be done.
 * He doesn't want anyone to touch his paws since the fact that they come into contact with someone non-magical, he could inadvertently imbue some of this power, only that creatures without magical affinities are unable to understand its value and this would lead to unpredictable results.
