Character Name: Shawn Spencer
Series: Psych
Age: 33 physically, mentally 15 at most.
From When?: Up to date since Mr. Yin Presents, he rejoins the Barge as a subconscious way to make up for [SPOILER ALERT] Marion's death but you wouldn't know it.
Inmate/Warden: Warden. Nothing's changed in Shawn's attitude, he's find a person's flaw and pick it apart in the most creative and memorable way possible. Still, he'd show compassion and is incredibly open to people once they shift through the Everglades' worth of lies and exaggerations.
Item: A pineapple recipe book with the spine and covers so weathered you'd think it survived Operation Baghdad Freedom.
Abilities/Powers: Normal and kicking his peers' ass. Shawn has no supernatural powers but more than compensates with an eidetic memory (mother's side) and a childhood spent in observation and detection exercises by his dad (thanks Henry.)
Personality: Four words can describe Shawn: Inappropriate, Eccentric, Passionate, Wimp.
Shawn is ironic and irreverent almost to a fault and it causes people to either love him or...dislike him (Is anyone capable of true to God hating Shawn?). He's been raised to detect bullshit a mile away and he'll have his fun just pointing it out and embarrassing the person. The same cannot be applied to himself as he is a great liar and a better actor when it comes to collecting information for cases. He can tell a person he's the Viceroy of Tegucigalpa and say it in such an honest manner that it might just convince people he is...even though Tegucigalpa hasn't had a viceroy in 400 years. He's proud of himself and has no problem telling people he's probably made of awesome. Don't like it? Your problem, he's just going to prove you wrong.
Eccentric is a good way to describe Shawn overall. Everything he does, it must be visible and at times over-the-top but let him remind you that it does serve a purpose. The nicknames he gives people are either related to pop culture, the 80s or a weird fact he noticed about them. He also solves problems in that same manner, breaking into people's personal spaces by touching and gestures that may be regarded as suggestive. His love of pineapple borders on OBSESSIVE and he'll sing the praises of the King Fruit (NO, NOT THE DURAN YOU BLASPHEMER) if given the chance.
The Eternal Optimist (except on Monday with WWE Raw), Shawn is always to see the good in people and work his ass off to help. That being said, he's not a Bleeding Heart, there's a
bird for that. His means of doing things are strange but everyone involved will walk away a better person or annoyed that s/he got proven wrong. He does have a compassionate side that shows up in certain circumstances under all that snark but get a high powered drill and plenty of beer, you'll be a while.
Lastly, Shawn is a bit of a wimp but THE BOY CAN RUN. His reaction to anything dangerous is the following: stare, girly scream and finally escape maneuver Alpha, run faster than the next guy. He does have his moments of courage and strength but they might be too far in between to take the wimp label away. But labels are prejudiced anyways.

Sample Journal Entry: VOICE:
That's right...I'm back under new management. I know I shouldn't expect a parade or anything but a cake would be nice, either chocolate, pineapple, or rhubarb with fish-shaped crackers but not all at the same time. Wait, what the hell is a rhubarb? Sounded like an interesting word to say at the time between my head, my mouth and the hands typing at this screen.
Anyways, like I said, new management but I'll be keeping myself along with girls with apple-bottom jeans and furry boots on the down low-low-low-low. And no, I didn't sing that, only Gus can throw sick rhymes like that.
Sighing off, Your Psychic Lord and Master, Shawn.
Sample RP:
"Weird, this thing makes mirrors for no good reason or-" the fake psychic continued asking himself before he recklessly inserted his hand into the orange hole. Suddenly, the pharm rep felt a hand his back, startling him to no end. It took Shawn less than a second to figure out what the skies had bestowed on him and as a result, he fell to his knees and clapped his hands together. "Thank you God in Heaven for this extraordinary gift and I solemnly swear to use it as I see fit!"
"Shawn, what are you talking about?" Gus asked, further questioning his friend's sanity. "This thing makes portals! Portals that WE can use! Do you see the endless sea of possibilities?" Spencer hopped on his feet to accentuate his idea. "You'd never have to be late to your day job; just place a conveniently placed portal in your office and one at Psych and voila!"
"For all we know, we could've stumbled into Chernobyl-in-a-box! And how do we know it's safe?" Guster argued although tempted as such a feat. Shawn searched around and found a "No risk of radiation poisoning due to continued usage" message. "Gus…the world is OURS!" Shawn stated with a mischievous grin on face; this was going to be fun.
