Does Marten have goals?
DSL:
Dammit, Dragontart makes sense!
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person!
If Marten has a future, it's in music. He did get goal-oriented once in his life, going out to line up a drummer.
Kugai:
Marten will eventually meet Trent Lane - Both bands will merge becoming Death Spyral and go on to fame and fortune.

Would be bad if he actually had other goals and still could only accomplish said things.
What would be the right things for Marten to want?

The problem is that a life without a perceived purpose of some sort is a pretty sad one to live (whether it is a career, or relationships with loved ones, etc.).
I mean, yeah, someone mentioned the music aspect, but how passionate is Marten about that, really?
This would actually go a long way toward explaining why Marten is such a sad sack of shit all the time (when he's not suffering immediate "LOL, the universe is shitting on you!" scenarios, there have been comics when nothing terrible is happening to him at the moment and he's still an insufferable downer).

That only works for so long. He can only barely afford his own lifestyle, there's no way he could afford to ever start a family. It's a wonder he could even afford to date Dora, so I assume she paid her way for most things. Might help explain why Dora actively strived to end their relationship; other than being a nice guy, Marten doesn't have much going on.
Eventually his friends will move on, start their own families. Marten will still be that guy who works at the library and drinks at night. Sounds fun...
