Marc Joester

Marc Joester is a main character of A Normal Day and is a core member of The Chaos Council.

## Background

Marc Joester is one of the six main characters along with Dom, Omar, Nick, Timmy, and David. Marc first appeared in Season 1 Episode 1, "The Pilot", along with the 5 other main characters. In the episode, Marc helps Dom and his friends try to hijack The School's orientation to announce the formation and goals of The Chaos Council. Since then, Marc has been one of the biggest menaces in the series and one of the more humorous characters due to his unhinged and chaotic personality. But despite not usually being the focus on some of the show's deeper stories, Marc still has complexity of his own. He is a kid driven by the anger he faces at school, and the isolation he faces at home. And because of this, Marc has made many allies throughout the series, including his best friend Nick. In Season 3 Episode 1, Dom's Origin Story, we learn that Marc was one of the first kids to join The Chaos Council along with Omar, Nick, and David. Marc's rage fueled and impulsive nature may make him one of the morally trickiest characters throughout the series.

## Personality

Marc is one of the most defined characters when it comes to his core and extreme personality traits. From the first episode, Marc is established as brash, cocky, angry, and very impulsive and confrontational. But unlike some of the other characters, these traits are cranked up to eleven. Marc can also be a slight jerk, usually towards his enemies, but sometimes even to his own friends. Marc often teases the other members of The Chaos Council, but this is nearly never out of hate or maliciousness. Besides Dom, Marc is usually the one to spearhead the group into problems. But while a character like Dom is very calculated and thoughtful with his schemes, Marc on the other hand is extremely impulsive, often jumping headfirst in conflict without much thought or planning. This is fueled by his sheer anger and need to let out his frustration as fast as possible. In Season 4 Episode 2, "The Traitors Part 1", Marc is the one to become enraged after he learns what The Traitorsdid to Dom. Without thinking, he decides to immediately fight The Traitors along with Nick, which leads to disastrous consequences later in the episode.

But while Marc has a rough exterior with all his negative traits, occasionally his positive traits can shine through. Deep down, Marc does have compassion and care for some people (usually his friends), but he doesn't like to admit or show it. In Season 2 Episode 3, "Nick, Marc, and the Nerd", Marc sees Nelson being picked on by The Jock Jerks and decides to stand for him, despite Nelson being a stranger to him at the time. But afterwards, Marc gets frustrated and annoyed when Nelson tries to become his friend. Throughout the series, Marc tries to help and give people advice, but this sometimes backfires severely. In Season 3 Episode 6, "Crushed", Marc sees Dom being sad and not his usual crazy self after Ena rejects him. Wanting to help his friend, Marc comes up with the solution to tell Dom that Ena said a bunch of mean things about him, with the goal of sending Dom on a rage fueled conquest for vengeance, and therefore getting rid of his sadness. But this plan unintentionally backfires in the worst and most predictable way possible, causing Dom to delve deeper into depression.

Marc's most infamous personality trait comes from his "sigma male" attitude. In strong contrast to Nick, Marc never shows romantic interest to anyone and hates the idea of love. Starting in Season 4 and continuing throughout the series, Marc shows strong resentment and anger towards the girls at school, usually The Popular Girls like Missy and Ena. Marc is the main and only one to oppose The Popular Girls when his friends are too scared, because Marc doesn't care about his reputation. Despite what his enemies say, Marc isn't entirely sexist, but has a plethora of understandable reasons for hating the girls at his school, the most notable being how The Popular Girls (mainly Missy) bully and manipulate his best friend Nick. But the original reason is because of an event that likely is what turned him into the anger filled person he is. In Season, 6 Episode 6, "Marc vs The Popular Girls", Marc explains that some time before he became friends with Nick, the girls in his class voted him the "ugliest boy in school". This incident caused something to snap inside of him, likely setting off his rage for not just The Popular Girls, but for the entire school as a whole.

Marc may not be the smartest kid out there, but he makes up for it in his notorious fighting and combat capabilities. Marc has been called the best fighter in not just the group, but the best fighter in the whole school. Marc is able to solo entire groups of people with ease, like The Traitors and even The Jock Jerks. Marc is likely the strong combatant that he is to not only let out aggression, but also as a way to feel protect himself sinse his parents couldn't care less about him. In Season 7 Episode 1, "Dom's Final Battle", we learn that Marc is part of a secret ninja society who he trains with. Unlike antagonists like The Jock Jerks and Jaysen, Marc only uses his power for what he believes is good, this usually involving helping out his friends. Marc helped train Dom for his battle with Jaysen and fought off Missy's army of simps to save Nick from being executed. In Season 12, Marc decided to use his combat abilities to defend kids from bullies across the entire town, and he adopted his vigilante alter ego, BoneCrusher.
