Fanon:Marcus Croft

Marcus Croft is the co-founder and patriarch of the Lincoln-Croft Family.

Adulthood
Marcus Croft moved into the Daisy Hovel together with his roommate Alicia Lincoln as soon as the two of them became young adults. Living in a tiny house without any luxuries, he and Alicia dreamt of one day making it into the Grand Modern Villa across town. For this reason, Marcus took on the job of a medical intern, but would quit 3 days later as he was unhappy with his pay. He instead joined the Astronaut career. He also started to make music and release tracks and would even get a contract with Dinky Beats.

Marcus and Alicia grew closer as they worked together towards their goal and would eventually fall in love. During their first weekend off together, they went on a date and had their first kiss at the Magnolia Blossom Park. Their love was not even diminished when Alicia was nominated for a Starlight Accolade and became a minor celebrity, and Marcus would ask Alicia to be his girlfriend. They eventually got engaged and had a private wedding in the Myoshino Meadows. During their wedding night, Alicia became pregnant with their first child and eventually gave birth to their firstborn, a son who they named Elias.

Due to Marcus' work times, he was the main caregiver of Elias during his time as a baby and a toddler, and taught him most of his skills. Because of this, Elias had a much closer bond to his father than to his mother.

While his wife became an even bigger celebrity, Marcus worked hard in his job and finally became a fully-fledged astronaut, fullfilling a resolution he had made on New Year's Eve. He also became father a second time when his daughter Lily was born.

But between his job and two children, he no longer had time to regularly produce music, which caused his label to drop him.

His career was stagnating for a while which caused Marcus to be stressed as he put much work into his work performance and felt as though his work was not appreciated enough. However, the day of his Adult birthday, he was finally promoted to Planet Control in his job.

He also decided to produce more music again and sent copies of his music tracks to three different labels. The New Tastemakers were interested and he was able to sign a new contract to promote and release his music again.

He however lost the contract with the New Tastemasters soon after when he moved with his family into the Grand Modern Villa.

While in the Grand Modern Villa, Marcus and Alicia decided to have another child, and soon, their daughter Lara was born - and followed shortly after by Marcus' surprise grandchild Caleb, the son of Elias' and his fiancée Morgan Fyres. Marcus had to say goodbye to his son and grandchild soon as they moved into the Cozy Family Home.
