YES HELLO HI THIS IS THE QUICK PROFILE FOR THE BUG MAN.

INFO WILL GO IN HERE for folks who might be canonblind or just wanna see what I'm cookin' with.

VERY WIP THANK YOU


BEETLEJUICE


Canon: Beetlejuice the Musical the Musical the Musical



Name: Lawrence Betelgeuse (Shoggoth)
Age: 600+
Prns: he/him or whatever he thinks is funniest
Orientation: Yes

Powers:

He's the Ghost with the Most! Grand illusions, transformation, fires, corruption of a space, possession, and double-filled musical numbers are all on display.

Under normal circumstances, the living can't see or heawr him and he can't interact with the physical world beyond illusions perceived by ghosts. People who are particularly in tune with the supernatural can though.

If a living person summons him by saying his name three times, Beetlejuice can come fully into reality and spread his chaos as he wishes--at least inside the place he's been summoned. He can't leave houses/general areas without falling face-first into a sandworm's jaws. At least...not while he's still dead. Eyes emoji.

It doesn't happen in the musical but I choose to include the idea that he can be dismissed the same way since the movie and the cartoon both do this. Nobody really had the chance/idea to do it in the musical.

I fudge BJ's ability to interact with the living world a little bit on memes, like the texting memes for convenience sake.

Weaknesses:

-his ego
-being bound by his name
-his temper
-his attention span

Other Things to Know:

All my icons are of the understudy, Will Blum, but feel free to have your character see him as ANY of the talented actors that have played him on the stage! I imagine he looks a little different from person to person anyway. He's only person-shaped to be polite after all.

The on-broadway version of the show included the detail that BJ's hair/beard changes color with his mood. I forget about this all the time and later showings did away with it, but it's fun to play with sometimes.

CHARACTER
NAME: Beetlejuice
CANON: Beetlejuice the Musical the Musical the Musical
CANON POINT: From the finale where Juno throws him out of the house, presumably to the sandworms.
BACKGROUND: Wiki

SUITABILITY:
I think Beetlejuice, who is entirely selfish up until the 11th hour, would do to learn some of the friendship values that are so prevalent in Pokemon. Learning to make real, actual friends and then retaining those friends would set him on the course to better behavior. MAKE THAT MAN EXPERIENCE EMPATHY!!! In the musical, right before his pull point, he gets to be alive for like five minutes. Maybe less. During those few minutes he goes on a roller coaster ride of emotions and later, once he's dead again, he says he admires the living for dealing with that all day every day. As a demon, it's implied he didn't feel emotions normally or at all. Debatable, since he's shown feeling both lonely and angry. But guess what!! HE'S NOT A GHOST-TYPE so he is ALIVE in the Bay! I did have him on the first TDM and again on the third, so he's been alive for a little while but spent most of that lost and wild in the forest. So he's still got to travel that Becoming a Member of Society arc.

He would be reluctant to join any kind of team at first because he sees himself as a one man show, but once he sees the benefits of working together with all kinds of different Pokemon, he'd be willing to play along. At least, as long as it serves him. He's got no problem lying, cheating, and stealing. He hasn't really faced consiquences before, so that will be another learning curve. The nature of Pokemon battles will appeal to him--a good way to get all his destructive energy out. His battle style would be all about intimidation and manipulation (Scary Face and Baby Doll eyes) and cheap shots until he evolves and can pack more of a punch. He's a big dog in a little dog body. Or weasel body.

He's going to hate being a weird weasel with no way to change back, but finding out that he has the ability to evolve and get bigger and stronger (and cooler) will give him a solid goal to work toward. Using Pokemon abilities won't be much different than using his demonic ghost powers for him. However, it's going to take a while for him to learn about type advantage because he has no way of knowing which Pokemon does what.


QUESTIONNAIRE:

Your character is on an exploration quest when they find an injured Pokemon in need of help. This Pokemon appears to be in distress and is quite dangerous, posing a risk to your character even if they mean well, and putting your quest mission at risk. What do they do? What are some possibilities of how they work with teammates to address this, or do they go at it alone?

  • Who WOULDN'T want a big dangerous Pokemon in their debt? Beetlejuice would have to be sure he's actually able to assist before he starts making deals, because while he has no problem lying, he doesn't want a bigger, more dangerous Pokemon to catch wise and retaliate. He is but a weasel. BJ would more than likely try to pull this if he's alone as to isolate the other Pokemon and manipulate them. If he's with a group he doesn't think he can win over with his Very Good and Smart Idea, he'll actually lean the other way and suggest that the Pokemon is big enough to take care of themself and that they have something important to do. The goal, guys! The goal!


  • Your character's worst enemy has recently appeared in game, and has joined the guild your character is part of. They both want to tackle the same quest, and your character's enemy suggests that they work together as a team to accomplish this goal. How does your character respond to this?

  • BJ's current worst enemy is his MOM. If Juno appeared and joined his guild, Beetlejuice would simply throw himself out the nearest window. His pull point is from when she dupes him with kindness so she can grab him and throw him to the sandworms because he's protecting someone she's trying to drag to Hell. He feels strongly about this.

    However, Beetlejuice's word is probably not worth much to the Pokemon of Bottlecap Bay, so any smear campaign he'd start against her would probably fall apart. If it's Juno suggesting they work together, Beetlejuice would probably fall for it. He wants her to like him so, so badly. He'd have more experience as a Pokemon than her, so he'd actually be able to teach her something. See, ma! He's not a TOTAL screw-up!

    Alternatively, depending on how much development he's gotten and if he's found himself a circle of friends, he might dig his heels in and become a huge pain in the ass. If she hates him so bad, he'll give her a REASON. Even at the cost of the goal. He has no problem making this all about him.


  • The leader of your character's guild has just approached your character with an offer: they will provide your character with extra supplies, reputation points, and help them with any of their current struggles. In exchange, they ask for your character to do a favor for them that may harm the other guilds, and will not specify what the favor is in advance. It sounds shady, but it's the deal of a lifetime in your character's path to get back home, and refusing it may cause strife for your character within their current guild. What do they think of this offer? What do they ultimately decide to do?

  • Scoring extra goodies AND screwing over some chumps in the process? Count him in! He wants out of this place and he'll do whatever it takes to get there! No thought given to this, he just does it. Sucks to suck!

    If he's got a friend in that guild though, he might try to scheme up a double-cross. He AND his friend win that way! He doesn't seem to anticipate any punishment he'll receive from this. That's a problem for future Beetlejuice.


  • Due to shortages on supplies, the city is facing issues deciding where to cut corners during this rough time. Somehow, the responsibility has fallen on your character's shoulders, and they have to make a decision. If they send out an extra team of Pokemon, they will be able to gather more food, and through that, save the lives of dozens of starving Pokemon that were in dire need of nutrition. However, the only Pokemon available to scout for food are those working at the pokeclinic, and sending them out would mean certain death for at least two ill patients. What does your character decide to do? How do they feel about this choice, and how would they deal with the pushback that comes from either side?

  • Here is where it gets interesting. Up until just a few moments before his pull point, he never knew what it meant to be alive. And he's been alive the whole time he's been in this world. He likes being alive, even if he's a stupid weasel. So there's some empathy deep in his heart. The things that would have to have fallen into place to end up with BEETLEJUICE being the one to make the call would guarantee that he's done some growing. He's still very new to it though, so he would go for sending the Pokemon out to scout UNLESS one of the Pokemon guaranteed to die was a friend. Then he'd stick by them. He doesn't have a lot of friends, he's gotta hang onto them. It's a childish mentality, but it is what it is.

    IC INFORMATION

    Character Name: Lawrence Beetlejuice (Shoggoth???)
    Canon: Beetlejuice: The Musical The Musical The Musical
    Canon Point:
    Background: https://beetlejuice.fandom.com/wiki/Beetlejuice:_The_Musical_The_Musical_The_Musical

    Suitability: I think throwing Beetlejuice into a world where he isn't at the top of the food chain would be really interesting! There's new magic to discover, new people to see, and plenty of opportunities to spread chaos. I think he would be interested in the on-going fight for the Singularity because power struggles are a great breeding ground for paranoia and fear. However, if it starts looking like he might lose his new playground, he could possibly be spurred into action. Or maybe he'll make a friend or two--stranger has happened!

    Powers:

    Cursed State- Depending on the canon point/situation in-game, Beetlejuice may or may not be visible. When he hasn't been summoned, he is invisible to the living (save for those pre-disposed to seeing ghosts) and cannot affect the physical world. When a living person says his name three times in a row, he is brought back into the physical world. He is summoned directly to them and must remain within the house/building where he's been called. Beetlejuice cannot speak his own name and often has trouble spelling it.

    Shapeshifting- Beetlejuice can easily alter his body's appearance. He favors his human shape the most but when a situation calls for a visual aid or a costume change, he's ready.

    Prestidigitation- He can produce a whole array of (annoying) illusions, props, sounds, and smells.

    Possession- When summoned, he is able to physically manipulate those around him. When un-summoned, he can only control other ghosts.

    Influence- He is able to corrupt the the world around him to suit his tastes. This only applies to the building in which he is summoned.

    Levitation- He can float. (GAME SPECIFIC- I love the idea of him not being able to cross running water of any kind with this method. Just flat-out stops working and dunks his ass. I'm also happy to accept any other nerf!)

    Immaterial- He can pass through people and solid objects at will.

    PERSONALITY QUESTIONS

    Describe an important event in your character's life and how it impacted them.

    Being banished has made a big difference for Beetlejuice. We don't get to know exactly how it went down or why, but I suspect it had a lot to do with his Bio-Exorcist gig. Ghosts are supposed to go to the Netherworld after they die, not remain among the living. Beetlejuice was going to ghosts' homes and chasing away the living people per the ghosts requests. He thrived on the chaos and attention.

    Then, Beetlejuice was both banished from the world of the dead and trapped in obscurity among the living--specifically in an old Victorian house for years and years with no one to talk to. It was the ultimate time-out. It was a huge blow to his self-esteem and if quarantine has taught us anything, loneliness can make you pretty weird. He's invented a bunch of methods of entertaining himself when watching whoever lives in his house at the time isn't enough, what social skills he previously had have all but deteriorated, and he talks to himself. Beetlejuice has become clingy, jealous, and absolutely desperate for socialization of any kind. Shame? He doesn't know her.

    Does your character have a moral code, or other set of standards they try to live by?

    He doesn't have much of a moral compass, but if you do him a solid he won't soon forget it.

    What quality or qualities do they admire most?

    A good sense of what makes something scary! Scaring people means understanding what makes them tick. You wouldn't take him for someone versed in psycho-mo-logy but he's sharper than he looks. Visually, Beetlejuice appreciates all kinds of bodies and sees something attractive in everyone. A nice ass doesn't hurt though. He admires guts! If you talk back to this demon he will straighten up and pay attention. He's been around for a long time so if you show him something he hasn't seen before you'll earn his respect quickly.

    Do they have a part of themselves they dislike? Beetlejuice is not terribly fond of how overshare-y he's become in isolation and has to rein himself back in when personal details slip out. He also may be a little embarrassed of his habit of eating his feelings. Is he going to stop any time soon? No, but he will feel sorry for himself about it.

    What is their sign, and why? The Wheel of Fortune - Beetlejuice is entirely self-serving. He wants all the sex, drugs, and fun he can get and will go to extreme lengths to get it. He is, however, not terribly interested in money. "I do it for the love of it. Money? Ah, who gives a shit!" - The Whole Being Dead Thing Pt. 2
