CHARACTER NAME; Garfield "Beastboy" Logan
AGE; 15
CANON; Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go
CANON POINT; Taken from the end of Teen Titans Go
FAMILY TYPES; Virus Busters, Nature Spirits, Unknown
APPEARANCE; Beastboy is a thin green human with pointed ears and fangs. Short cut hair on the top of his head, and slender but surprisingly strong arms and legs. While he may be small his career in superheroics has kept him in shape. But his relying on his powers has also kept him from becoming athletically fit. He has green eyes as well to match the rest of his green.
PERSONALITY;
Beastboy is the lovable goof on his team and he embraces that role with vigor. Always quick to make a joke, or let himself be the butt of one, Beastboy loves nothing more then to keep his friends laughing and smiling in the darkest situations. He has a serious side to him though that can be seen burning through when the people he loves are in trouble. When the girl he loved was under attack by one of the Titan's strongest villains he proved himself more capable in combat then we had seen in earlier episodes. And when his family had been kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Evil, Beastboy became determined and anxious, unwilling to slow down or stop until he found them again forsaking his happy go lucky attitude.
He has a need to be liked. To spend time with others. A very social creature it has been shown that when he feels he's not getting the attention he craves he goes out of his way to find it. Sometimes this results in getting in other peoples way, or sticking his nose into things best left alone.
He loves to help people. Being a super hero is, in his opinion, the coolest job in the world. While he may at times wish that he could take a break from saving the world and resume spending hours watching TV, playing Video games or reading comic books, he can always be counted on to throw himself in the path of danger to protect those weaker them himself.
He also takes loss very hard. When he fell in love with Terra, was betrayed and then lost her when she sacrificed herself to save the city he could not move on for months and months. Almost a full year passed before he was willing to take steps to move on. And even then he still found himself keeping an eye on a girl who looked and sounded like Terra long after. Just to make sure she was OK.
He also gets worked up easily. Energetic, spastic, sometimes a little crazy, all in the name of fun and what is funny. And while he openly admits he is not the smartest person around, one of his favorite condolences for that is "I may not be smart enough to do everything, but I'm dumb enough to try anything!"

SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON;
You know...we really do live in a golden age for geeks.
I mean let's ignore the fact that monsters made of data have brought us all here, and that the true strength no longer comes from muscle but from emotions and feelings and stuff. Those are totally sweet, but it's more then that.
Things that geeks used to get beat up for, liking Space Trek, Reading Captain Carrot. These things are cool now! I don't even have to order Japanese comic books off the internet anymore because I can find them in the book section of the department store!
I know I'm not that old, and I totally respect what the older geek dudes had to go through back then. But what's done is done and what's happening now is it's great to be a geek! And you can be a geek about so much!
So someone tell my Digimon that it is totally cool if I wanna spend the whole weekend inside doing a marathon video game run of Mega Monkeys? I've got the junk food already set up!
THIRD PERSON;
"So I hope you had a plan when you went charging towards the rioting Numemon!" The irritated Salamon barked as she and Beastboy slid around the corner of a building and the mob of angry sluglike Digimon came into view.
Truth be told Beastboy hadn't a clue. "Well normally I'd transform into a gorilla and start tossing those chumps like they were snowballs. Or turn into an Octopus and use my tentacles to separate them."
Her unimpressed look was an unnecessary reminder that he could no longer do those things. Super heroics were so much easier when I had powers. He mused to himself as they reached the edge of the mob.
"Hey! What are you guys doing?!" He shouted and was met by a barrage of disgusting balls of...something horrible and smelly. The green skinned teen yelped a high pitched cry of shock and went scrambling for cover knocking over a cafe's patio table and taking cover behind it. Salamon had dashed ahead of him and as soon as the cover was in place gave him a very unimpressed stare.
"OK...so maybe the direct approach wasn't best but it distracted them at least. Can't you like...get big and stomp them?" He asked hopefully. He had heard of evolution from the others but the little doglike creature just shook her head.
"We're not in that much trouble...though if I end up getting all smelly because of you I'm making you sleep outside."
Beastboy sighed and peered over the table. Just gotta buy us some time to think of a better plan. But if we don't stop them they'll stink up the whole town.
"Why'd I have to get stuck with such an annoying tamer?" The Salamon sighed rubbing her forehead with her paw. "Rushing into a fight without a plan."
But her words struck a cord with Beastboy. He was great at being annoying!
"Salamon, you might wanna get a head start if you don't wanna stink before the days over." He warned before standing up and shouting, "YOUR MOTHER WEARS GARBAGE BAGS!"
That got their attention. The Numemon stopped pelting the surrounding area to turn their attention to him.
"And she's so salty that when she kissed your daddy he started melting!" Beastboy was making it up as he went along but it seemed to be confusing the crowd as they tried to figure out who's mother he was talking about.
"Also seriously? Green is not your color. Maybe you ought to try yellow! Buncha' cowardly piles of spoiled pudding!"
OK even by my standards that was lame. He lamented silently. But amazingly that was what set off the mob. They lunged for him and he screamed like a girl before taking off running, with the mob hot on his heels and globs of smelly sludge flying after him.
"You idiot!" Salamon barked springing ahead of him on her stubby little legs. But she saw his plan was coming together. With the Numemon so focused on attacking him they weren't attacking the town anymore.
It was...at best a short term solution. But it bought them time to run and think of a plan while they focused on dodging ungodly stench bombs and luring them away from downtown.

********************
Beastboy can be extremely insensitive, lacking much in the way of a filter he often blurts out exactly what's on his mind in that moment. Such as calling Raven creepy without thinking how that might hurt her feelings. Or telling Terra she had no friends after she was begging for his acceptance. While we can justify that he was feeling betrayed and hurt, had he chosen his words more carefully things might have happened differently.
Beastboy can be irritatingly insistent on some subjects, telling jokes that most people don't think are funny, being vegetarian, slacking off and having fun instead of putting in hard work, and of course his constant need for validation.
Deep down Beast Boy constantly worries about losing people close to him, so he seeks out constant validation by comedy. Even so long as they are laughing at him, at least he's entertaining them. And it's his hope that if he can keep everyone laughing they won't leave.
He falls upon denial often as a defense mechanism. It helps him to try and ignore hopeless situations and charge forward even without a plan. It also often blinds him to the reality of a situation. He misses details.
He is prone to slacking off. While others train, study, eat balanced diets and clean their rooms he would rather engage in fun activities and put off all that boring dull stuff till later. And as for eating healthy? While he is a vegetarian bordering on vegan, he loves candy, soda and other sugary treats. To gluttonous cartoonish excess as seen in a tower of ice cream almost as tall as him.
He takes things very hard, even if he won't always admit it to himself. Compliments and insults sink in deep and stick hard to the point where he can either ignore the problems completely, or obsess about them till something distracts him.
He can be easily distracted at times.
He is not afraid to lie, or cheat, or play dirty, but he's also not very good at any of those things usually.
While it has been established that when motivated Beastboy can be tactically skilled, emotionally open, good hearted and self sacrificing, given the situation he has proven more often to be a follower rather then a leader, emotionally dense, sneaky and selfish as well.
Finally, for how insensitive, thick, and light hearted he can be, over his term with the titans he has learned sensitivity when it counts. If he can't use comedy to cheer someone up he's not afraid to open himself up to them, give hugs, listen to their feelings and do whatever it takes to comfort them. We see this when he met Geodude, and told him the tale of Terra's fall and mysterious apparent return to life sans memories. Quoting something Starfire had told him Beastboy was able to help Geoforce accept his sisters choice to abandon her old identity and start a new life.

Two words dude. Pointy. Ears. Ladies looove the pointy ears. Especially when they wiggle like this? Are you watching? Oh yeah, gets them every time. It doesn't hurt that I've got this dazzling smile! Brush and floss every day! What would I say if I was chomping on some bad dude and all people could see was like, gnarly yellow teeth? ...well nothing because my mouth would be full.
Actually, I'm also hilarious, everybody knows it even if they don't laugh at all my jokes. Seriously ok I've got this one about a about dessert right? What kind of dessert does a Sheep rancher have? Shepherds pie! ...get it? Because...sheep? Hello? Is this thing on?
4.) What ability would you most like to have?
Uh...hello? I can turn into ANY animal! What could be cooler then that? Not just like...some animals. Aliens too! Though...turning into a Gordanian was kinda rough. But dude there is nothing like breaking the ice at a party by turning into like, a kangaroo or a big honking elephant. And you think you know swimming? Dolphin's know swimming in ways humans can only dream! And flying dude! Flying is the best! I mean other then how quiet it is up high. But the view can't be beat!
...oh wait! That gives me an idea. I'd like to be able to turn into animals AND talk. Because you have no idea how many funny jokes I think of in battle but can't say! Unless I'm like...a parrot.
6.) What would make up your ideal friend?
Did you mean to make these questions so easy? Seriously? I already have the coolest best friend ever!
Cyborg is totally the man dude! He's super strong, AND smart! Way smarter then me! Which is great because sometimes I gotta ask him how to fix stuff like the toaster which someone who was totally not me, broke while trying to make s'mores. And he's fun too! Whenever I wanna play video games or stank ball or something he's on board! And any day now? He 'd gonna teach me how to drive the T-car.
No really! He is! He just...doesn't know it yet. But it's gonna happen!
