I assume what you mean is, please write my name in Japanese characters.

There are 3 systems for writing Japanese: kanji, katakana, and hiragana:

"kanji" are the modified Chinese characters used for most words. If you translate your name into English, maybe I can help. You might be able to get a phonetic rendering, but it would almost certainly have a very strange meaning...

"katakana" is most often used for verb endings and particles, etc. in conjunction with Chinese characters. For example, the Japanese word for "eat" is 食べる.
The first symbol is kanji and the next 2 are katakana.

"hiragana" is used to write non-Japanese words. In that syllabary (it's not an alphabet so much as a phonetic device), your name would look like this:

マルせリン  ゲレロ (if I'm pronouncing your name correctly!).

Hope this helps and is what you're looking for. Tell me what your name actually means in English, and I'll see if I can change that into Chinese characters for you.
