Marvin Brambleton II

Marvin Brambleton II is a character at Thirlcrest Academy, and is one of the technoids within the Astronomy Club. He is played by Meldometer
== Appearance ==
Marvin is one a medium-sized, overweight nerd that can be seen with dirty brown hair, black glasses and his infamous moustache, which makes him easily recognisable from the rest. Marvin has hazel coloured eyes which compliment his hair and slightly tanned skin tone. Despite being called multiple names for having his moustache, he refuses to shave it as it proves his masculinity. Marvin can be seen wearing the Astronomy Club vest with his sleeves rolled up, revealing a watch which barely fits around his meaty wrists, with beige khakis accompanied by some green trainers matching both the vest and the inside of his watch. During the winter, he simply switches his khakis for grey slacks, keeping his rolled up sleeves as his body fat insulates him enough to keep him warm, though he may be seen with a scarf or beanie.
== Characteristics ==
Marvin, despite his repulsing appearance, is one of the more hygienic nerds, always freshening up despite the inhumane amounts of sweat produced by just walking from lesson to lesson. It is also known that Marvin suffers from Asthma and struggles to run for a sustained period of time, making him one of the easiest nerds to catch and bully. Though Marvin may be an easy catch, he is not one to hold his tongue and will sometimes go head to head with other students in verbal conflicts, using words like "loser head", "funny pants", "num-num" and "stinky-breath". He sometimes speaks in AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) to try and make himself seem cool, often saying things such as "Word up, Coolio" when greeted by those who are more popular than himself, which is nearly everyone.
Marvin also has a strong dislike of food condiments and complains about them regularly. His least favourite of them all is mayonnaise, which he dislikes to the point that he uses "mayo-stain" as an insult. 
== Character Background ==
Nothing is known about Marvin's life before Thirlcrest Academy, with the only people knowing is Faculty, and of course Marvin himself. He often avoids talking about his past and usually admits that he is ashamed of it, and is looking to rehabilitate from his troubled past, leading many to question his mysterious backstory. Whenever asked why he is attending Thirlcrest, Marvin says that his parents dislike him, though those close know he receives regular letters and gifts from his truly loving parents, though, the real reason why Marvin is in such a place is a lot deeper than many would think.
Marvin was born to a rather large family, his mother and father having 6 children in total. Growing up was tough, as Marvin shared a room with 3 of his 6 siblings, the other 3 sharing the other room, whilst his mother and father slept downstairs on a sofa-bed. Money wasn't easy either, his father worked two jobs to provide for them whilst his mother worked for herself in the cleaning business, generating some income here and there, nothing too great though. Obviously, as he grew older and realised the reality of his life, he only wanted to help provide for his family and get them the money they deserved, which plays into the reason he is now attending Thirlcrest.
One day, whilst walking back from school, Marvin was approached by multiple teenagers in balaclavas, all of them older than him. To begin with, he thought he was being robbed, though, they had asked him if he wanted to make some quick money, and handed him a spare balaclava, alongside a fake gun. Marvin took them both, following the group down the road to the grocery store, which he was then peer-pressured into aiming the fake gun at the worker whilst the others took the cash, which was soon split between the group, including Marvin. He returned home later that day, leaving the money on the table with a note saying "For you, Mom and Dad".
Then, some weeks later, Marvin was approached by the same group of teenagers, who this time asked him to hide something in his bag on the way to school, which he complied to, wanting to help the people who "helped" him. This was a bag of Marijuana, which he had taken into school. Halfway through the day, Marvin realised he could profit from this, and actually sold the bag to one of the students at his school, and this became a big hustle for Marvin, selling contraband day in day out, until he was caught by a surprise bag search, leading to a court hearing with his mother and father involved.
Marvin ended up snitching on the group, claiming he was peer pressured into earning money as they knew he wanted to help his family in any way possible, and instead of the harsher sentence, which would be Juvie, he was sent to Thirlcrest Academy to rehabilitate himself and become a better human, which he focused on by joining the Astronomy Club.
