## Background

Officer M. was born in and spent a lot of his years growing up in the lands of Yoshi Resort, along with a cousin of his who later become a doctor in the Resort’s hospital, Doctor M. He and his cousin attended Yoshi Resort University and took up the healthcare course as they both dreamed of being doctors together, but Officer M. dropped the course halfway through as he was failing and took up the Police course instead. Though he enjoyed this at first, he dropped out of it later as well due to finding it pretty difficult. A couple months after dropping out completely, he got a job in retail at a gas store and was rather envious of his cousin’s frequent success over his, but still tried to get through every day one at a time. However, he didn’t like his job very much so later on he decided to quit and join the Yoshi Resort military. Despite the Boss of the military putting a lot of pressure on Officer M. and picking on him constantly for stuff he wasn’t good at, he would continue to thrive in this occupation for a few months until the Resort went through a great Cake War that was initiated by an enemy of Yoshi Resort, Victor, due to feeling neglected himself. During some chaotic periods of the Cake War, he used a secret plane that only he knows the code to summon and activate to occasionally fly to other places for refuge, ending up in a small town on a desolate island called Sparkville, and he had remembered that his great great Grandpa Shed lived here who let him crash with him in his... Shed to take a break from the intensity of the battles every so often, until the war ended. After this war he left and moved far away to a Countryside where he got a new job as a police officer thanks to his previous military experience. Though he enjoyed being a cop, the job there could be quite boring and tedious at times, especially when the Police Chief would put more pressure on him to be the best he could be.

Some time later, Officer M. met the duo Turtle Man and DaPhantom and decided to open a case about how destructive their crime-fighting tended to be, but he couldn’t find any evidence for it. Later on though when they saved his life, he started to gain a bit more trust and respect for them and begrudgingly joined their team, fighting villains alongside the two. After the defeat of the Evil King, the trio move to The City of Nexus where Officer M. gets a new occupation and a higher role in the police force, however finds the Nexus police is led by his former boss from Yoshi Resort who, much to his dismay, has not changed much at all and is still creepy towards him. A long time after this after being sent to the hospital, Officer M. starts to feel pulses of electricity energy running through his veins on certain occasions, and even after leaving the hospital these bursts of electricity continued to happen on random intervals. It would seem that all of the close-encounters he has faced has caused an ancient power deep within himself to be unlocked and revealed, one that even Officer M. himself cannot predict or control. After this, he went to visit his cousin in Yoshi Resort several times for help or just to see how he's doing, and even returned to Sparkville for a day (which was now desolate) and saw his grandpa again, who had suffered from a stroke since the last time they met and couldn't speak. He ended up accidentally killing him though later on by giving him CPR too hard when he was suffering a panic attack, and went to tell Doctor M. about it which also upset him. When Officer M. later returned to Sparkville alongside the guys, Doctor M. and his girlfriend Katie, the shed had fallen apart after they tried to hide in it to escape an angry mob. He revealed to them that he had time travelled with Mort’s help back to when he killed Shed by accident, so that he could bury him at a memorial on the outskirts of Sparkville. The five visit it and DaPhantom and Katie enjoy it’s beauty, but the memorial is unfortunately destroyed a sudden attack from a giant Goat; despite that his grandpa’s body was not damaged by it at all.

## Personality and Relationships

Officer M. is a blunt person, who typically likes to take the easy way around most things if it is possible. With most obstacles in his way, instead of trying to solve or find a way around them, he would just pull out his gun and shoot a way through. He can be rather rude and cold at times and doesn’t really like to sugarcoat his truths at all, though is also determined to solve his cases and stand up for those whom he cares about. He could be considered the straight man or voice of reason in the main trio, compared to DaPhantom’s chaotic nature and Turtle Man’s silliness, often finding himself the only one who knows what to do and gets annoyed by them sometimes or other things such as Mort’s arrogance. Even so, he does care about Mort as well despite him being a bit of a jerk towards him sometimes, which can be seen through when he was trying to convince his Boss to let Mort keep his spaceship as he was forced to crash it into the police station because it was disintegrating as it travelled.

Officer M’s relationship with Turtle Man and DaPhantom develops throughout the series, in the first official episode it is all about him disliking the two and trying to find reasons to get them arrested, begrudgingly agreeing to lay off after they save his life. He still remains rude and unstable around them after this, frequently threatening them with arrest if he sees it necessary. As they embark on more adventures together, he becomes more trusting and fair around the two and drops the threats to arrest them altogether, which shows his increasing liking of them that eventually evolves into a solid friendship. Though he still sometimes snaps around the two, such as when he was stuck with them and the Riftspace and started blaming it all on Turtle Man until he gave him some food which calmed him down.

Officer M. cares well for his family, including his cousin Doctor M, often coming to visit him at Yoshi Resort to see how he's doing and defending him when there is danger in the faroff city. Even so, to this day he continues to be a bit jealous of the things his cousin achieved that he himself always wanted to accomplish but was one upped in, however he never lets this minor jealously get in the way of his respect for Doctor M. He also cared a lot about his Grandpa Shed, who had served as a father figure for him during the Cake War and they both loved eachother a lot. He was visibly upset as to when his grandfather died since technically he was the one to accidentally kill him, but at the same time he was blaming Turtle Man and DaPhantom for it. Additionally he also did make some friendships at work such as with co-worker Officer Lewis up until he died and also a couple others at the force, but absolutely hated his Boss since he acts creepy towards him a lot of the time and has followed him from the Yoshi Resort Military all the way to the City of Nexus Police and hasn't changed at all. Though he did have more respect for the Countryside Police Chief since he wasn’t as cruel to him as Boss had been.

Officer M. also doesn’t really like Officer Jones that much and sees him as a bit annoying, but he did change his view on him a bit when he had tried to defend him from the Manic Mage after she was about to kill him and the others. He used to be good friends with Snappy the crocodile and would hear out his stories, but has found him more annoying recently ever since he took the Amulet of Souls from the Manic Mage’s remains and has been refusing to give it back because he thinks it’s a frisbee. Though since the Amulet's destruction, they probably have gotten on better terms again.

## Abilities

Officer M. is good in physical combat and also is very durable, with him tending to take a lot of hits in battle without feeling that hurt - He can endure lot’s of dangers that come his way. He is agile and rather fast moving, and always carries around a gun that is his signature weapon that he uses most often to fight, but more commonly to just dispatch threats in his way. Also he does have some coding skills, allowing him to make some changes to code and even hack into some code; he carries a laptop with him in case of emergencies where he needs to code.

With Season 5 and the team’s move to Nexus, Officer M. upgraded his old police lamborghini and decked it out with a lot of powerful features such as pulse boosters that allow him to travel very fast with it and even travel over water. He is also able to call the car to his current location using a remote that he sometimes remembers to carry with him, by pressing a button on it.

At the end of the first movie within a post-credits scene, it’s revealed that he has some sort of electricity powers that he is unable to sustain control of, similar to his cousin Doctor M. who was revealed to have radiance powers but could control them. Some of these powers are also explored in the Season 7 episodes which follow the movie, with Officer M. trying to show them off to the others but them being a bit unreliable. For example, he tried to use his electricity powers to fight off Inspector M. in the mansion when he was trying to kill him and his friends, but ended up accidentally electrocuting all of them as the powers steered out of control.
