District 3. A forgotten land bound to broken down buildings and dust storms that encircle slums filled with the flesh of half dead humans. Thus was the life of humans without shinigami. the word "hollow" was well known to all, yet only a handful could see their cruel captors. For those in earlier days would be called "blessed" with the sight of their captors, life was a story with a spoiled ending. Such was the case of Markus Valeria, a member of the quincy race. A man with plentiful talents and yet lacking the resources to use them. Not only was he a member of the quincy's, but he was the quincy leader. His age was actually that of an elder member. Most super humans didn't live much longer over the age of 25 in district 3, a normal humans life was even shorter. "The ruler of children" he could be called. He had watched all those older than him be sacrificed to the hollows without the chance to pull out his bow and kill them without being killed himself.
He resides now in a broken hospital with minimal equipment not even worthy of treating a dogs leg.as he sits in his desk at the top floor, the floor that is at least structurally sound, he places his hands on his head and rubs his temple and lets out a sigh. The morning preceding the last of the elders had been sentenced to "the selection" as the hollows called it. "death" would be the best title for it. This was a bad day for Markus. He was now the eldest of the Quincy, something that chilled him to the bone. He needed to get out of district 3, something that had failed on every grounds of consideration. He would need to kill an arrancar to do it. Many arrancar if he wasn't the luckiest man alive.However, if anyone was capable of escape it was him. No one else was close enough to the people of district 3. He chuckled at the thought of "close". no one was truly close in district 3. He healed people for a living, not very well, but if ever given the proper supplies he could preform miracles. This gave him considerable stand point to anyone he treated. He was never paid of course, no form of currency existed in the hellish world of hollow rule. So usually people repaid others with various "favors". Markus had saved his up for a special occasion. Now was that special occasion.
At 12 am the next morning Markus would do the unthinkable. He would take as little belongings he had and head east, to the ocean, cross the ocean, enter the wastelands, and find any other signs of life. Anything was better than District 3, even hueco mundo. Atleast he wouldn't slowly die off there. He only had one thing on his side, he could KILL hollows. Being a quincy, he was the only race with the power to remove them from existence permanently. This gave him an edge, something in a world that gives you nothing, is the most important thing in ones life. Markus didn't know when, but he feel asleep at his desk dreaming of a day without the rule of Hollows
