Name: Beast BoyAlignment: Neutral
Alias(es): Changeling, Gar, Logan
Secret Identity: Garfield "Gar" Logan
Looks: Gar is 5' 8" roughly 150lbs with a muscular lean build however due to his transformation abilities he can take on any appearance he wants changing height, weight, hair style and muscle structure. His skin complexion however is always a uniform color either Green or Red depending upon his mental state and which source he's drawing his powers from. His eyes, and hair are just a darker shade of his current skin tone. Beast Boy also has pointy ears, which he finds to be an attractive quality of himself.
Personality: Garfield tends to play the role of a lighthearted jokester often he'll play the fool both for laughs and to allow him a way to exploit opponents who underestimate him due to his personality. Though he is often the butt of many jokes or backfiring pranks himself he tends to remain playful, acting dim-witted, energetic, and often immature, granted he isn't a genius but he's not as stupid as he plays. When other's are focused on important details he is usually the first to break in with a preposterous suggestion or an unnecessary joke. Due to this, he can come off as immature, thickheaded, and cumbersome. However, he tends to prove invaluable with his kindness and battle prowess. Although he jokes most of the time, Gar can be serious when he wants to be and in a way his antics are a mask of laughter and happiness to disguise his sadness and rage at what has happened in the past. Garfield is also a bit of a romantic with flirtatious fantasies and can be somewhat of a pervert toward both female Superheros and Villians mixing his joking nature with a more perverted humor. Like every actor he’s anybody’s best friend. He wants to make you smile, wants to make you love him. He’s always thinking about you, so he doesn’t have to think about himself. He’s an elephant, he’s a gorilla, he’s a nobody, busy on the outside, empty on the inside. He could smash you like a bug, but chooses to play the fool make you laugh and underestimate him.
Rank // History
Rank: 5 ( Hunter )
Origin Type: Science Origins
Origin Story: As a child, Garfield Logan contracted a rare illness called Sakutia and was cured by a serum from a green monkey. This serum had the unintended effect of turning his skin and hair green and gave him the ability to change into any animal form. Later on while captured he was experimented on and his power changed slightly due to a connection to an unseen force called The Red brought on by the experimentation.
History: Not long after being cured of his Sakutia and gaining his relatively unstable powers both of his real parents passed away, and he was taken in by a team of superheroes who called themselves the Doom Patrol. Eventually his foster mother, whom Garfield became very close to Rita Farr a very well known actress, died in battle along with virtually all of the other Doom Patrol members. This was like losing his family all over again and has given Garfield a specific set of problems that he deals with every day. His foster father Steve Dayton was driven mad by a helmet he used to fight enemies, he began to blame Garfield for the death of his friends and lover and this guilt and regret weighed heavily on Garfield for years to come. As a result of all of this he used his jokes to cover up the fact that he was scared of losing anyone else he grew close to. Despite all of his hardships, Garfield was friendly and upbeat to those around him. He dreams of one day becoming a superhero and recreating the Doom Patrol, with the purpose of saving other super-powered outcasts and runaways just like his adoptive parents did.
A few months after losing his adoptive family the Doom Patrol, Garfield Logan was among hundreds of young metahumans kidnapped and held captive by the organization N.O.W.H.E.R.E. They were experimented on at the shadowy organizations gigantic underground base, the Colony. He was forced to participate in the annual Culling tournament, where the captives held by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. were forced to either kill or be killed for a chance at freedom. He met a beautiful blonde haired woman named Terra and they hit it off quite well until one day she just up and vanished. Originally he didn't fight, he tried his best to stay alive without killing, that was until the promise was made.'One hundred of the others. That's the price of you life. Take your freedom.'
N.O.W.H.E.R.E's cruelty was intolerable so he sought his way out; the Culling one hundred lives was the price for freedom. Garfield did as he was told, he fought, he killed, he saluted. Garfield was unstoppable and the day when his final fight had came he believed himself ready. One more kill, and for him it would be all over. One hundred human lives, people just like him captives experimented on he paid forward. Garfield had earned his freedom but like every champion before him he was buried beneath the Colony chained and bound. The promise of freedom was nothing but a lie. It was then that Gar decided he'd be chained no longer. Breaking his chains he went to the other captive champions speaking.
"Take your vengeance."
This was the first time his green skin turned red as he freed the other champions from their restraints gripped by a feral rage he tore through any guard who stood between him and the door. As he released them one by one they began to fight alongside him against the Colony's guards stirring up the general population. This was when he found her, Terra, she had been locked down here all this time, he freed her and went on his way freeing others. This caused a massive amount of commotion as the entire Colony began to riot reacting to this Garfield simply walked out of the front door leaving all that he had done behind him claiming his own freedom leaving behind the one face that would plague his nightmares for months to come.

Garfield spent the next several months partying, drinking, fighting, and trying to become a hero. Anything to keep his mind busy to make it so he didn't have to deal with his own past, to deal with his emotions or to deal with anything. He was rarely alone surrounding himself with others, focusing on them so that he wouldn't have to focus on himself. He spent more money than he had, and eventually began looking for trivial mercenary work to tie himself over. It was a different way to stay focused but it gave him something to do that wasn't talking about the problems he buried. He worked as an actor on a small time TV sci-fi series as a main character using the skills he learned from his late foster mother to gain some spare cash. Eventually the show was canceled for being a rip-off of various other sci-fi shows, and Garfiled began looking for steady work again.

Power/Ability: Terrestrial Metamorph
Description of Powers:
Terrestrial Metamorph: Beast Boy has the ability to morph into any animal he knows of. He can change into extinct animals and even animals from different planets. When he changes, it only takes a couple of seconds. It does not matter how big or small. It does not put strain on him to do this. He can stay in an animal's form indefinitely. He has changed into multiple animals such as a swarm of fireflies and a group of barnacles. The only problem is no matter what form he takes the animal's skin and hair color will always be green. Beast Boy can also change into a hybrid, which has all the animals' powers rolled into one. He has demonstrated the ability to transform into animals many times larger than their actual forms: among others, he has been seen transforming into a human-sized tarantula and a giant snake. He has also been seen transforming into mythical animals such as a phoenix and a dragon. This is thought to be just a progression of his abilities.
No matter the form he can still speak.
Beast Boy's connection to the Red is unclear and may not be tied to his genetic code however it allows him to take on stronger and more adept forms. Normal animals native to earth are easy to transform into and control. Garfield's connection to the Red allows for a genetic sense memory as well as a propensity for replication and transmutation of his own body. As well as the ability to heal himself during battle through animalistic modifications and mimicry of natural regenerative properties found in nature.
Unique Physiology: Along with his shapeshifting abilities he seems to possess a degree of heightened senses in his default human form, having hearing sensitive enough to detect a stealthily approaching enemy along with other heightened senses. He can also change his natural human form in several different ways taking on partial transformations, hybrid transformations, changing his own muscle structure, height, weight, organ structure, bone structure and any other bodily structure. Gar is also a decent actor able to fool people if needed, this comes in handy when trying to hide his inner demons.
Animal Mimicry: Beast Boy has the power to mimic the abilities of any animal he knows of while he is in their form. The ability apparently gives him intuitive understanding of the animals and what abilities they have that may be useful in the situation. In his natural form he can change the structure of his body to accomplish similar feats, while under the effects of any transformation no matter how small he is able to speak with, understand and properly communicate with wild-life.
DNA Mimicry: Beast Boy can also model his own DNA after others transforming into anyone down to the subatomic level. If his skin didn't stay oddly toned he would be able to disguise himself as anyone perfectly.

Conduit of The Red: Eventually Garfield learned to draw abilities directly from the "Red", an energy field that connects every animal ever to have lived in the Universe. Apparently the Red extends past earth and exists as a universal concept. It is in essence the Universe's morphogenetic field, which provides him unlimited DNA access to any creature that has ever lived, or will ever live. This is part of the reason he is able to intuitively mimic the DNA of animals, and people. It gives him an intuitive blueprint for any strand of DNA imaginable, including a fail safe that means he can always return to his own base body when needed. This also allows him to draw on animal powers without transforming if he so wishes.
Animal Empathy/Limited Telepathy: In addition to his mimic abilities, Beast Boy can make contact with animals, empathize with, "talk" to and see their thoughts and memories. This is in essence a very shallow form of telepathy. This is part of why he is able to communicate with, understand and talk to any form of sentient life as stated above in Animal Mimicry. It is, sort of an in mind Universal Translator.
Weakness: Due to the nature of his powers he is basically human while in his base form needing even minor transformations to augment his body if he wishes to be stronger, faster or more durable than a normal human at his rank. He is also as weak as whatever form he takes, so for example if he turns into a mosquito for whatever reason, he IS a mosquito meaning he could in theory be crushed just as easily as one.

Martial Arts: Gar is also skilled in Zui Quan, Wing Chun and Jeet Kun Do. This allows him to fight in his normal form on par with some of his own transformations however this doesn't compare with his stronger and more adept transformations. He has even began to work on his own more refined and specialized substyle of Drunken Monkey which is where he draws most of his style and natural fighting ability.
