Sharko Marcus

Shannon Marcus known as Sharko for short is a major character in the Archive of Our Own Mini-Anthology web-novel cartoon series Time Majesty: Ruffus Adventures: The Absolute Anthology known as TMRA Anthology for short. He started out as a supporting deuteragonist for the third chapter and would progress as a supporting character from then on.
He was once friends with Andrew Armadillo and Shades sneaking into movie theathers, eventually progressing a somewhat romantic relationship until having a falling out. He then began to be friends with Malik Magistral for a while until he had to move to a different School to become Fleeceville City's next new Puppy Police to work his way towards Canine Doggo Cop.
He was once the boyfriend of Andrew Armadillo and close friend of Shades. He is a classmate and a fellow peer of Malik Magistral and a ally of The Canine Doggo Cop Polices.
== His Good Ranking ==
=== Debated Validations ===
* The Resetmageddom implies that the reset was set in place. Considering how Malik says the events plays the same way yet was able to defeat The Other Outc???. It yet remains rather debatable on the number of crimes he did let alone of it played out still before the reset or not. If the actions happened he would remain on here, if they didn’t he would have no corrupting qualities and earn a spot on Heroic Benchmark, Inconsistently Admirable, Near Pure Good or Pure Good.
* He says he hopes Andrew drops the soap. Wishing rape on him. However, Andrew has mind-controlled Sharko and tried killing him and Malik Magistral add along Sharko mourning for Andrew’s death, and the possibility of him saying he hopes Andrew drops the soap not happening after the resetmagedddom as explained on the previous Debated Validations.
=== What makes him at least admirable enough? ===
=== In General ===
* His mischievousness was more of a heating-up period and it doesn't make him much of an anti-hero since he essentially subverts this when becoming a cop during his older teenage years.
* He initially cared for Andrew Armadillo a lot a lot. And spent a lot of time with him and even Shades when they went out to watch movies.
*Despite the fact that he didn’t really bother to deal with the bullying he and Andrew had to go through. This was something Sharko himself didn’t want him and Andrew to get the best out of either of the two. When Andrew to stuck to taking the laws into his own hands that was when Sharko drew the line and ended their relationship which is completely justifiable since it merely got them suspended and could have got them expelled.
*As The Dark Shark, he literally had no intentions in harming Malik Magistral nor fulfilling Andrew Armadillo’s evil plans to build a “Nerdtopia”. Which makes his brainwashed state not a prevention nor a corrupting influence.
==== Main Series ====
* Protects Malik from his older cousin Mr. Collie who was another student of Malik's who at the time did not get along with him or was acting way to competitive.
* He would be rather loyal with Malik Magistral which shows how much he cares for newcomers for Downy Town High School.
* They take responsibility for their actions on cheating and face through the consequences that Eartha Regere assigns them.
* While he and Malik did fight Andrew Armadillo and Mr. Collie it was because the ladder were harassing him and Malik while they were doing trash-pick up.
* He cannot be a lethal due to not having the full on intent of killing Malik Magistral when being controlled by Andrew Armadillo.
* Despite being used by Andrew to almost murder Malik Magistral. He still cared for Andrew and pitied the realization of him being villainous and heavily hints that Andrew was merely misguided back then.
* Showed to care somewhat back for Malik Magistral.
* He did save Malik and Demond (The Other Personality) from Andrew Armadillo and his Prison Cellmates.
* While he bails out on Andrew Armadillo; his ex-boyfriend. He gave Andrew many chances to make amends with him and Andrew got angry at him for not getting him a nail file to escape prison. Thus, Sharko had every reason to completely cut ties for good.
*Despite him and his Police/Cop Colleagues working with The Pricks to fight against Harold Hater and The Other Outc???, this is only because The Other Outc??? is hinted to be a more powerful and dangerous being not to reckon with.
* Unlike Malik Magistral, Sharko does not have too many severe corrupting factors like being anti-heroic nor being misanthropic and is rather the complete opposite.
* While he is not as admirable as Invisible Friend, Eartha Regere, Olaf Kleine. He literally has fewer resources than them.
* He does not have to compete with the main TMRA's standards nor Magistralverse's due to not directly crossing through the canon universes and remaining on his own.
* While he became The Crystal Shark of Total Doom and Darkness it wasn’t to his own volition as the story elaborated that he was only corrupted by Andrew Armadillo’s supernatural scientific magical powers fusing him, Sir Cactus, The Idolizer of Ice, Shades, The White Knight, together mind-raping them putting them into control. Making his will to kill Malik Magistral not by Sharko’s volition. Thus, he doesn’t count as a Fallen Hero.
* While his characterization consisted another shark character from a Tweet named “Sharkee” and his name shares the same similarities not just Sharkee but Sharko from a Hannah Barbara cartoon called Zig and Sharko. This version of Sharko shares no direct similarities and is his own character and thus he doesn’t fall under being Fanon character being played for laughs, shock-value, etc which are the traits that the incoming Absoluteverse characters from Danganronpa v666: Toon of Doom by Malik and Nocty might actually inherent within the Absoluteverse itself due to being fanon-characters within the Absoluteverse multiverse.
=== What makes his admirability insufficient? ===
* He is way too mischievous and wrathful to be on Pure Good and Near Pure Good since he snuck into movie theaters with Andrew and Shades and cheated on a test with Malik Magistral. As well as fighting Andrew and Mr. Collieson, and wishing rape onto Andrew Armadillo. Wishing rape onto others is way to corrupting quality. Although, Andrew has been antagonizing him and Malik since the start of the story and mourns for Andrew’s death by the end of the series showing he truly cares for him.
*He is below the admirable standards with Malik Magistral who managed to save Reaworll City from Lava-Jock who tried to swat people and Fleeceville City at least numerous occasions that outnumbers the times Sharko did with the same resources and the only reason he was able to do more for Malik Magistral was after he was going to become a Fleeceville City Police Canine Doggo Cop having more resources than Malik as a Police and failing the overall admirable standards.
*He is too wrathful and has enough of a bitter personality where he says to Andrew Armadillo that “I HOPE YOU DROP THE SOAP!” out of sheer spite in the heat of the moment. And he’s basically saying in a vague yet canonical narrative that he hopes Andrew Armadillo gets sexually assaulted in juvie/prison. In which hoping rape upon others is way too corrupting for the admirable criteria and it’s way too much to be closed off as a simple Heating-Up Period. Yet, it could be understandable to some since Andrew almost made Sharko as “The Dark Shark” almost kill Malik Magistral and aid Andrew in taking over the world, as well as how Andrew wanted a nail file to escape and clawed his way through the glass windows with his nail/claws almost trying to kill Sharko one of his only friends and his boyfriend despite Sharko being reasonable with him earlier on and even after breaking up.
