Beast Boy
----------------------
Age:15
Orientation: Heterosexual
Gender: Male
Teacher or Student:Student
Site Canon or Original:Canon
Hero, Villian, or Civillian: HeroGet the Picture
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. In terms of numbers, he’s approximately 5’4”.
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. Anyways, looking for a number? That’ll be 132lbs.
Eyes:Green, of course! Everything else is.
Hair:His 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.Face The Facts
Family:
Father-Mark Logan
Mother-Marie Logan
Friend of his parents/his guardian for a short while-King Tawaba
First legal guardian/lawyer in charge of the Logan‘s estate: Nicholas Galtry
Second legal guardian- Rita Farr [Dayton]
Matt Logan-cousin
Friends:The Titans, of course!
Race:Human-American.
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 place 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.
History:
Biologists Mark and Marie Logan took their toddler-sized son Garfield with them to the African country of Upper Lamumba, where they were conducting research on genetic codes. Gar came down with a rare tropical disease that was believed only animals could survive. In a desperate move to save his son, Professor Logan treated Gar with an untested machine which he originally developed to isolate the common genetic bond shared between humans and animals.
Gar recovered, but a side effect turned his skin green. A few years later, Marie Logan was threatened by a deadly Black Mamba snake, and Gar's desire to rescue his mother brought forth his powers, changing him into a mongoose. Several years later, his parents died in a boating accident, an incident which Gar still feels he could have prevented.
After the death of his parents, Gar was raised by King Tawaba, a friend of the Logans and chief of the local tribe. Mobu, the tribe's witch doctor, had hated the Logans so much that he arranged for two Americans to kill Gar in exchange for Mobu revealing the whereabouts of a temple containing fabulous treasure. The temple collapsed and killed Mobu, but the two American looters rescued Gar and brought him back to the U.S. in order to force him to commit crimes for them. The two men eventually killed each other, and the courts set out to appoint a legal guardian for Gar.
It was decided that Gar's guardian was to be Nicholas Galtry, an evil man who was the attorney for the Logan estate. While the young Logan was missing in Africa, Galtry had embezzled funds from Gar's inheritance. When Gar was found, Galtry plotted to kill the boy and have all the wealth for himself.
Gar hated Galtry, but things took a change for the better when the boy met Rita "Elasti-Girl" Farr of the Doom Patrol and Steve "Mento" Dayton. Gar - as Beast Boy - tried to join the Doom Patrol, but was rejected because he needed his guardian's permission. Meanwhile, Galtry remained unaware of Gar's dual identity as a teen super-hero.
Eventually, Gar began working alongside the Doom Patrol, so Galtry secured the services of various villains in attempts to kill Gar and the Doom Patrol. Once Rita Farr and Steve Dayton were married, the couple adopted Gar after winning a court battle against Nicholas Galtry and he remained with them until a choice he made to save his family as opposed to brining the Brain down got him kicked out. 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”.Know the Person

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.
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. He's got a habit of forgetting his problems and simply having 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.
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.
Other:Nope.
Roleplay Sample:
It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the clouds were gone and a green changeling was strolling aimlessly through the city. It wasn’t rare for him to do that, especially during such a lovely weather. He was the type to habitually leave the tower for a simple walk outside, with or without a destination. He merely liked being out in the open as opposed to locked in a closed space like the tower. He would often get claustrophobic and obtain a strong craving for fresh air. Plus, there was nothing to do indoors. Yeah, sure, there was the television and the videogames, but there’s only a limited amount of time you can spend on them. Out here? It was unexpected. You could never truly know—or predict—the results of a simple walk. Anything could happen. You could be struck by a car, bump into a burglar, meet a long lost friend or even a new one. All of these possibilities were what made it so interesting. In fact, there wasn’t a single uneventful moment spent outside. For an animal like Beast Boy, it was just the place to be.
He was enjoying the crisp air when a loud rumble interrupted his thoughts. He stopped walki—there it was again! And another one. And another. He searched around himself, as though trying to figure out what was making that noise, and after a good minute or so, discovered its source: his stomach. “Ohhh…” Yeah, he was apparently hungry. His mouth began to water at the thought of food and he, after wiping it clean with his sleeve, continued to walk. This time, however, he did have a destination: the nearby pizza place. It was actually a great place to eat. They had really delicious pizzas, including a large selection of vegetarian [one even had tofu as a topping!]. It was fairly annoying how in most pizza places, they only served one type of a veggie. I mean, heeeel-loooo! Just because he was a vegetarian, it didn’t mean that he enjoyed all veggies. Pineapples, for example, weren’t his favourite. Yet, he had to make due for most restaurants. Thankfully, this pizza place was an exception.
Once he reached it, however, he noticed something: he didn’t have any money. Yeah. He searched through his pockets and even other areas of his suit, but couldn’t come across a single penny. Well this was just dandy, wasn’t it? Leaving the tower sans money probably wasn’t such a smart decision on his part. Unfortunately, however, now was when he realized this. A little too late, ain’t it? It was then when his eyes rested on a boy around his age—maybe even younger—devouring a whole lot of pizzas. Fourteen empty boxes, five unopened and one opened [but pretty much done] surrounded him. Seriously? Beast Boy’s jaws dropped as he gaped at this shocking scene for a few minutes, hardly blinking. He just couldn’t believe it. How could such a young boy—and skinny at that—eat so much? If he wasn’t so hungry, he would have asked for a signature for sure. Then stared at his new hero with wonder for a good half-hour. With his growling stomach, however, he made a different move.
He closed his jaws and approached the boy with a “DUDE! Ever heard of Atlantis?” He most certainly have, read about it in a comic. The moral of its story was that power corrupted: something he understood but this boy clearly needed to be taught. A great thing that Beast Boy was here to teach him! In case the boy hadn’t heard of the lost city, he went on in explaining. “It was this civilization back in 123 BC—or maybe 123?—anyways, the people there really liked pizza. They ate waaayyy too much and Zeus was like ‘DUDE! No fair! I want some pizza too!’ so he decided REVENGE!! And sunk them all into the water!” As he narrated the famous story, the excitement in his voice built up until he was practically screaming with it near the end. Having finished, he flashed his companion a large toothy grin in hopes that the message had reached him. “Sooooooo…” Beast Boy began, deciding that it was time to get to his point. “…Can I—maybe—I donno—have some pizza?” Cue the large hopeful—and highly cute—eyes
