Beast Boy
Canon/Non-Canon- Canon
Birth Name- Garfield Mark Logan. No joke.
Secret Identity- Beast Boy
Nicknames- Uhh lets see: there’s Beast Brat, Veggie Boy, Salad Head, Green Jeans and other ‘highly clever’ nicknames his friends can come-up with.
Gender- Male
Age- 15
Race-
Alliance- He’s a Teen Titan
Alignment- Good. Seriously, he’s a Titan.
Citizenship- Hero. He’s a titan. A TITAN!
Physical Appearance-
First, lets start with the hair. Currently, Beast hair’s cropped real short and spiky. He believes he’s smart in styling it that way. Most people don’t know this, but such a style requires limited care. Yet, it still looks trendy. For a guy who doesn’t even like showering much, it really comes in handy. It’s light green in color, a tad darker than his skin, and has three rather short bangs, barely reaching his eyebrows. Yet, when his hair’s wet, it’ll droop down to his eyes. His green eyes. His eyes are dark green with black pupils. They’re rather big for his face, but not humongous enough to be an odd feature. They, like all eyes are protected by eyebrows. Unlike most, however, these eyebrows aren’t the same shade as his hair. They’re coal black. Between them rests a nose. It’s rather pointy, but not too much. Mid-way between pointy and flat. It stands above a rather large mouth, figuratively and physically speaking. It looks like any other mouth except for one striking future: fangs. Beast Boy has two fangs on either side of his mouth and, even when it’s closed, they stick out like some beast’s.
Got all that?
*Big breath*
That was a mouthful now, wasn’t it?
The entire thing is circular with a point only for his chin. It stands on a thin green neck. Yes, green. His skin is green. Big whoop! On either side of this face are two abnormally pointy ears, reminding many of elves.
He’s always wearing his full-body uniform, so nothing else is ever visible. He does, however, have a v-shaped scar on his back from one of his earliest missions with the Titans. If you’re curious about his height, yeah he’s very short for a dude. In fact, he’s the shortest Titan. But it’s probably lack of calcium or something like that. Maybe he’ll have a growth spurt soon? He’s most definitely hoping for that. A short height doesn’t get girls, you know. As for weight, he’s very thin. It’s surprising with how much junk food he devours, but it’s the truth. He’s probably the boniest titan, but that doesn’t mean he lacks muscles. He’s a hero, after all. He simply has less than the other heroes. Plus, he’s the youngest. Once he gets older, he’ll probably catch up to the rest in terms of muscles and height. Yeah. That’s it.
Uniform-
Beast Boy wears a purple and black jumpsuit. It sticks to him, transforming with him and failing to rip thanks to certain chemicals it’s made from. It was a Doom Patrol uniform and is still worn by him. In fact, seeing as this makes a perfect suit for him, it’s basically all he wears with exceptions. The long sleeves and pant-legs are black, leaving what covers his chest to be light purple. The purple then extends to a small portion of his “pants”, creating what looks like purple shorts. A grey belt clips at his waist, immediately above the ‘shorts’.
His shoes are also purple, black and a tinge of grey. They’re big, looking like a cross between sneakers and boots. The actual body’s purple, blending into black on the front, sides and back. There’s a grey rectangle across the front with black bands stretching across it. Beast boy moreover always wears gloves. It doesn’t matter if he’s indoors or outdoors. After all, it’s part of his little ‘disguise’. You’re probably wondering what it looks like, yeah? It’s simple, completely grey with a black band closing it shut on the front. If it should ever be taken off, Beast Boy’s hands are like anyone else’s except green.
Outer Personality-
The sad truth is that nobody really knows who Garfield is. Nobody including the Titans despite him basically living with them for like—a long time. All they actually know about the green dude is that he has a terrible sense of humour and doesn’t seem to be aware of it. To them, he’s merely a bad clown and, worse, he’s treated like such too. He’s constantly bombarded by sarcastic insults to his personality, appearance, skills, food preferences and sense of humour—basically everything about him. It’s as if he’s not a human being who gets emotionally hurt. This is all probably due to the fact that Beast Boy doesn’t show his timid serious nature and only reveals his humorous side. Therefore, it’s hard for others to take him seriously and treat him with all seriousness. They do the easy thing. Nobody has ever tried to get to know him. Nobody, that is, but Terra and that had been why he likes her so much.
Inner Personality-
The thing is, Beast Boy is a highly insecure guy and ‘humour’ is his way of hiding it. Whenever he reveals his timid serious nature, he’s had the bad luck of getting hurt. Therefore, he’s taken to hiding it. In some respects, he’s very mature for a boy his age. He had confessed to two girls, was rejected by one and betrayed by the other. He has watched many of his Doom Patrol colleagues die and knows what it’s like being alone with nobody to turn to. He’s more the “coping type”. He has all these burdens most kids his age don’t have and doesn’t know how to deal with them. Instead, he tries to forget them and have fun in the present. He bottles all his emotions, anger and dislikes up, masking it with the same corny humour. Someone called him ‘stupid’? He’ll laugh and make a joke. Someone teases his looks? He’ll say something about his ears getting girls, though he secretly knows it’s not true.
This is a dangerous thing, however. His bottled anger is fiercer when it finally blows. Once, he even transformed into a deadly beast. When that happened, he was uncontrollable and furious. That was the only instance anyone heard his frustrations voiced, though nobody really thought much of it. They simply thought that he was being a ‘jerk’ when he finally stood up to Raven and told her how he dislikes the way she talks to him. Ok, sure, he was being a jerk, but that was only because he had to endure the hurtful words of his friends for such a long time. So what exactly do people call him? Well, besides making fun of his sense of humour, food preferences {as though he has a choice} and appearance {once again, as though he has a choice}, one of his least favourite is their criticizing of his intelligence.
His friends call him “stupid” heaps of times. But, that doesn’t mean it’s true. The only reason he’s thought of as stupid is his failure to act mature. He uses slang vocabulary, runs off from serious conversations and prefers jokes to books. Still, he’s an intelligent guy, especially along the right side of his brain. His sense of creativity is simply intense. It allows him to think quickly and make-up rad theories to things. He’s very intelligent social-wise too and somehow has the ability to make friends with everyone which, I gotta say, is rather tough to do. He can think outside of the box and come-up with brilliant strategies on the spot. He’s basically your average teenage boy. Have you ever met a mature 15 year-old guy? Who loves to read? And plan? And has a good sense of humour? And uses intelligent vocabulary? There you go! So, no, Beast Boy isn’t stupid. He knows that and detests how his reputation says otherwise.
Then comes his taste in food. Yes, he’s a vegetarian. Deal with it! As the occurrence of the big bad beastie had shown, his angry, rebellious, side would eat meat. He obviously used to enjoy it. Obviously would like to gulp-up meat like his friends. The only thing is, he can’t. Popular rumour states that this salad-head adores vegetarian food especially tofu. But that’s not completely true. Although he doesn’t mind vegetarian, he doesn’t eat it because he likes it. He eats it because his changeling powers prevents him from the meat experience. It’s all he can eat and tofu just happens to be his favourite vegetarian food.
Alright, I bet you all know when Starfire, one of Beast Boy’s friends, traveled to the future? She saw what would happen to each one of her friends if the Titans should separate. Well, what she saw for Beast Boy was him performing in a one-man circuit. He said that he tried the whole “hero” thing alone, but got nowhere. That means he’s not good at fighting, fitting more as a side-kick than a hero. Then he decided on a one-man circuit only to get food thrown on him by a couple of kids, or his only audience. Without his friends, he’s a nobody. His baldness was to illustrate this even more [since it‘s a symbolism for being a nobody]. He literally has nothing that’s his. He doesn’t have a good sense of humour, appearance or {in his opinion} talents. This shows how much he depends on the group and how insecure he is.
Powers/Abilities- He can morph into any animal that he’s either seen in person or in an illustration {like when he shapeshifts into a dinosaur as an example}. He can even transform into alien animals. This only takes seconds, but uses-up a good deal of energy, tiring him quickly. As a ‘safety’ to his power, he has the ability to shapeshift back into his human form if an external force transforms him. He can completely alter his body mass and transform into animals much larger, heavier, smaller and lighter than himself. That being said, he’s unable to take the shape of an animal if the same he’s in is too small. Thanks to his power, he can also radically alter his body structure and take forms of animals without limbs, like snakes, or those without skeletons like a jellyfish. If the organism has the ability to replicate quickly, he is able to gain that ability and replicate himself as that body, however, he's unable to take the shape of multipule animals at once if they do not have this ability naturally.
Another sweet aspect of his power is that he gains all the characteristics of the animals he morphs into such as speed {cheetah}, strength {gorilla}, durability {turtle}, flight {various birds} and aquatic breathing {various fish}. He’s even known to obtain the specific poison created by specific snakes. That being said, Beast Boy still retains his human intellect while in animal form including his memories and the ability to speak. No matter what form he takes, his skin, hair, and eyes remain green, making most of his animal forms easy to distinguish from real animals of that species.
Weapons- Naw. His powers are enough for him.
Gadgets and Gizmos- Once again, nope. His powers are enough and—err—he’s not exactly Cyborg.
History- Unfortunately, Beast Boy’s history is pretty cliché. And sad. Maybe you’ll need a tissue box?
When he was a toddler, Beast Boy was taken to Upper Lamumba, an African country, by his parents, the biologists Mark and Marie Logan. The parents were there to research genetic codes. While they were there, Beast Boy was bitten by a rabid monkey and infected with the tropical disease Sukutia, which is terminal to humans. In a desperate gambit to save his son, Mark Logan used an untested machine to isolate the common genetic bond between humans and animals. Beast Boy soon recovered, but it was quickly discovered that his skin was permanently tinged green, a side affect of the experiment that saved him.
Years later, when his mother Marie was attacked by a large Black Mamba snake, Beast Boy brought forth his powers for the first time to save his mother, transforming into a mongoose, a known predator of snakes. He found he could change into other forms, but never seemed to get control over them for a time. Years later his parents died in a boating accident. They urged him to change into a bird and fly away and he did. He still believed years later that he could have prevented his parent’s death.
After his parents died, Beast Boy was raised by King Tawaba, friend of the Logans and chief of the local tribe. The tribe’s witch doctor Mobu despised the Logans, so much in fact he hired two Americans to kill Beast Boy in exchange for the whereabouts of fabulous treasures. In the end, Mobu was killed when the temple collapsed. Beast Boy, however, was rescued by the Americans, who merely wanted to bring him back to the US to commit crimes for them. Beast Boy, only a young child, hid some of the jewels in an attempt to play a game. The two men thought each other were cheating the other and killed one-and-other. Beast Boy was alone once more. The courts set out to appoint a legal guardian for Beast Boy, but things got no better. Nicholas Galtry was appointed his guardian and he couldn’t care less about Beast Boy. In fact, all Galtry wanted was Beast Boy’s inheritance. He soon plotted to kill the boy. Beast Boy soon met the Doom Patrol, taking on the name Beast Boy.
When Beast Boy joined the Doom Patrol, Galtry upped his efforts, hiring several supervillains to kill him and the Doom Patrol. Rita Farr and Steve Dayton were soon married and determined to win custody of Beast Boy in court. It was difficult and the couple nearly lost the case when it was outed that Gar was Beast Boy. Rita changed her form to look like Beast Boy in order to create the illusion that Gar and Beast Boy were two separate people. It worked and Dayton won the case. Beast Boy was free of Galtry’s influence, for the moment.
Beast Boy then joined his parents on the Doom Patrol, serving until General Zahl killed most of the team. He left home and traveled to Hollywood, gaining a lead role in the show Space Trek 2022. The show flopped for being an unmemorable show and he soon found himself out of a job.
Beast Boy was then reunited with his former girlfriend, Jillian Jackson, but she was quickly kidnapped by a villain named Arsenal. Beast Boy fought the villain, who turned out to be Galtry. Galtry intended to hold Jillian for ransom equal to what he lost when Beast Boy’s guardianship was taken from him. Beast Boy was unable to amass the ransom and was left in an airtight room while Galtry tried to extract the ransom from Jillian’s father. Beast Boy escaped and fought the villain, shattering his costume and defeating him.
After getting rejected, the changeling later found himself in Jump City where an alien girl was causing havoc. Stepping in to help a teenager he later realized was the famous boy wonder, Beast Boy soon found himself apart of a newly made group called the “Teen Titans”.
RPG sample
What was he doing out here? Yeah, he really should have given some thought to that question before walking--no, actually flying--outside at this hour. Instead, he had simply listened to his growling stomach. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why couldn’t he think for once in his life instead of merely following his instincts? It had been midnight or something like that when a strident grumble woke him up. It took a minute to realise that it was his empty stomach. As proven, it hadn’t been a smart decision on his part to miss dinner, but he wasn’t hungry then. He was just hungry now. He tried to go back to sleep. Really, he did. But he couldn’t. Finally, he was forced to walk all the way to a veggie-free fridge. Great. This was why nobody should voluntarily give-up their freedom to devour meat. After a loud and beaten “gah”, he was thus forced to, well, buy something. He knew there was some 24 hour pizza thing someplace so there he went!
Except he didn’t really realize that “someplace” wasn’t a place until he was out the window. Right. He had no idea where this place was. All he knew was that it existed from hearing around about it. But it shouldn’t be that hard to find it, right? Wrong. It had to have been like an hour or something--really, it was twenty minutes--where he strolled through the quiet streets, searching for a twenty four hour anything. Yeah, he had basically given up on the pizza place after the first five minutes. As long as it’s vegetarian, he’ll be ok with it. But he couldn’t even find that. All he could find were buildings with a “closed” sign on the front. What does one have to do to get some veggie-food at one in the morning? Hmmm? Right now, to the impatient fifteen year-old, the grass was starting to look tempting.
It was the can that led him into the murky alleyway. You know how, when you begin kicking a can, you start to get addicted and can’t stop? That was the case here. It initiated from the need to release his frustration into something and morphed into a competition of how far he can kick the can. He didn’t even realize where it had led him until he was standing in the mist of a dark alleyway with random crooked streetlights scattered around. Yeah…he should probably leave. There obviously is no pizza pla--heey was that Ninja 400 the game? Shocked that someone would just leave such a highly valuable item around, Beast Boy rushed towards it only to realize that it was 200. Not 400. Drat. Now--uhh---which way was back, again? This was why you don’t follow your instinct.
