**Marcus**, also known as marcus Abidaon (hajime), marcusdoesstuff & most commonly, Mabidaon; was one of the six newcomers to compete on Bowser Party in Season 2, and also returned for Season 3, Marcus ended up being accepted into the All-Stars season on Skype, and also competed for Season 6. He was invited as a guest for a second All-Stars season, proceeded to join Season 12, 13, 14, 15 and competed for the final time in Season 16.

## Prior to the Series

My memory on how I met Marcus is also pretty hard to think of, however we ended up chatting somewhere, he caught wind of the series and joined for Season 2.

## Bowser Party

Season 2:

Marcus was one of the first six newcomers to the series, being placed on Team Heroic Creatures. The Creatures did fairly well for themselves during the pre-merge, only losing one member before making it to the merge. Marcus managed to do extremely well for himself to where he made it to the finale, getting second place and only losing to Celeste.

Season 3:

Marcus competed again in Season 3, this time being placed on Team Mysterious Mushrooms. Marcus' team managed to do fairly well in the early half of the pre-merge, however once Team Quick Fist was quickly eradicated, the team started to fall about and Marcus ended up being eliminated first from them, receiving 13th place.

Season 5:

Despite how poorly the last season went for him, Marcus was invited back to return for the All-Star season, being placed on Team Soul Sucking Seekers, who managed to do fairly well in the challenge and make it to the merge, ultimately forming a group that dominated to the rest of the game, one that Marcus was in. While Adam won the season, he ended up giving his win to Marcus, making Marcus the official winner of Season 5.

Season 6:

Marcus' last appearance in Skype was in Season 6, where he was placed on Team Ferocious Flamingos. However, Marcus' team lost first and he was given the first boot of the season, getting 11th place.

Season 9 (Discord):

Marcus was originally planned to debut later in the game, however due to a certain player getting pulled, Marcus took his place and ended up on Team Redemption-Seeking Reindeer. Marcus' team gambled a fair bit, as did he in Episode 5 where he was in the bottom 2 with Bridgette, later in Episode 7, Marcus was the player who got in first, declaring his safety for that challenge. His team lost the next challenge, resulting in him making another bottom two, however he survived against Joosh and managed throughout the rest of the season to merge, merge is when Marcus' game really kicked in. He took the side of Moon and FJ during the early half, and proceeded to help eliminate several players throughout the merge, including contestants such as Mo, Emily, Marble, JT and Semi. He also never made it into the bottom two again after the merge, ultimately he won the final challenge and took Jack with him, eliminating Semi. And then he proceeded to win against the latter in the jury. Giving him yet another 1st in an All-Star season.

Season 12:

Marcus ended up taking a break, but returned for Season 12, being the leader of the Red Team. He ended up being eliminated in a purge with Astral and Pies, but later returned to the merge with the player who he replaced in All-Stars 2. However, Marcus did not end up winning any challenges upon his return, ultimately getting 6th place.

Season 13:

In Season 13, Marcus was under the disguise of Natsuki, who got voted out in Episode 6. However, Marcus ended up getting screwed over due to a certain veteran in season 9, who won the HoH and nominated Marcus alongside Ven, ultimately leading to Marcus getting his worst placement in the franchise, 27th.

Season 14:

Due to Marcus' short time as a debuter, he was invited back and accepted into Season 14, being placed onto Team Rolling Thunders. However, Marcus' original team did fairly poor in challenges, but in Episode 5 he was swapped onto the Wakanda Warriors. His team ended up doing better, resulting in him making the merge. However, he ended up being the first merge boot, resulting in a 10th place being added... At least it was better than Season 13.

Season 15:

Marcus then competed in Dirty 30, as Jerome. Jerome ended up being safe in the second half of the first challenge in Episode 1, and later won the following challenge with Mo in Episode 2. He was later sent into the duel in Episode 4, coming out on top and not being eliminated. He then won the following challenge with Leshawna, and managed to make the finale. He was eliminated in the second part alongside Crimson and Mikey, tying for 6th/5th/4th.

Season 16:

Marcus' final season in Bowser Party was in Season 16, where he was placed on the Silver Team. In episode 2, when his team lost for the first time, he ended up in the bottom two with Jervy, luckily managing to stay in. His team managed to dominate several challenges, and when his team lost again in Episode 7, he did not end up making the bottom two. However, once again he was eliminated first in the merge, when he did make it due to once again, one of his rivals wanting him out. Resulting in him getting 11th place.

## Current Status and Overall Thoughts

I'm unsure if Marcus would return, as he has seemed open to doing so. Who knows what the future holds...

Marcus is easily one of the strongest and most entertaining players for me in the series, while hard to remember at points in Skype, it's clear he had clear moments of strength there. He easily had one of the best games in Season 9, even if others cannot admit to it. Marcus is a player who I have a fair amount of respect for, he's brought some fairly entertaining rivalries and had a hand in some great moments for the whole series, so I'm happy to call him one of my players.

## Other ORGs

Marcus has played in a few other ORGs of mine as well, of course he was in my first long-term ORG, Total Drama All-Stars Take II as Courtney. While he ended up not getting very far, in 18th place he did manage to survive ten episodes. He also competed in Big Survivor Brother, making it decently far but being DQed due to inactivity alongside another player. He competed in realityxchallenges 1, and managed to make it to episode 6 before being eliminated with Emily and another player. He also competed in seasons 2 & 3 of the Legends franchise, playing a similar game to Season 12 for the second, and a similar game to Season 13 for the third. Ultimately, Season 3 was his last ORG and he has since not competed.

## Trivia

* Marcus is the only winner in Skype, and in the whole series to my knowledge to have been given the win by another finalist.
* Marcus has competed on ten teams, despite not having any team in Season 15.
* While Marcus has eliminated her once, Emily has directly been responsible for Marcus' elimination in two seasons.
* Marcus received the exact same placement in Legends 2 that he did in Season 12.
* Marcus and Dom are tied for the third most seasons in terms of Skype veterans, with ten each.
	+ Ironically, both players debuted in two seasons of Bowser Party as well.
