Character

Name: Lawrence Betelgeuse (Beetlejuice) Shoggoth
Canon: Beetlejuice the Musical
Canon point: Right after the finale
Age: A few thousandish. Less mature than most teenagers.

Canon history: Beetlejuice isn't too forthcoming with his own past, other than making some rather fantastic (and most likely entirely fictional) claims involving celebrities, and his claim that he went to Julliard.

What is known, is that his father left when he was very young, and his mother, Juno, told him while he was growing up that she wished she had left him too. Juno was apparently an alcoholic as well, the demon relaying to Lydia he once told his mom to choose between the booze or him, and she quickly chose the booze.

Beeteljuice has hair that changes color with his emotions. The three colors shown in the musical are green (happy/default), purple (depressed/sad), and red (angry). It seems to be involuntary, as he talks about his mother complaining about it.

He was born a demon and dead. Until the events in the musical, had never been human or alive. He worked as a bio-exorcist (getting humans out of houses belonging to the deceased.)

Questions: Write an IC answer to the following questions:

What do you want to study at Diatu Magicademy? I graduated from Julliard and I'm a literal demon from hell. I don't think I need to "study" anything. Except maybe the headmistress, is she available?

If you knew you could go back to the moment you left, would you leave immediately or continue your studies for a while? Gee, do I want to go to the Netherworld and wait for my Ma to be digested by a giant snake and come after me, or kick around with you guys? Tough call.

No, it's not. Obviously, neither.

If your enemy was at Diatu Magicademy, how would you react? Uh, let someone else handle it.

When is it acceptable to resolve a dispute by force? Always.

What should the supreme goal of any wizard be? World domination? Holy hell, how should I know?

Special Considerations

Your Special Something: Either a familiar (you mods choose) or The Handbook for the Recently Deceased.

Rank Your House Choice: Random

Items: Striped suit. Guide hat. NPR totebags. (His canon is weird.) Beej is able to pull things out of hammerspace, including clones of himself. Up to the game how much this power is nerfed.

Anything Else: Beej would be a great drama teacher. He would be a *terrible* student. Beetlejuice is able to shapeshift, again, up to you lovely mods how much (if at all) this power is nerfed.

I'm also very, very, sorry for him.
