CHARACTER
✧ NAME: Simon "Superhoodie" Bellamy
✧ SERIES: Misfits
✧ HISTORY: This is pretty detailed.
✧ TIMELINE: As Episode 7 of Season/Series 2 is inconclusive on how it ends. I'm pulling him from between episode 6 and 7. There is a chunk of time (approximately 3 months) and this enables him to also have his "ability", as well.
✧ PERSONALITY: Simon is generally a shy guy who has problems communicating with others from start to finish. Obviously, making friends and meeting people does not come easily to him. Other people tend to find him odd, and other characters tease him frequently. It can be said hat he is the loner of the group of people that he talks to, and he never fully overcomes this despite coming out of his shell slightly. He is desperate to be accepted by his friends. Simon needs gain comfort with someone before this will happen, though. His shyness is clearly mirrored by his ability - Invisibility. Initially it only worked when he "felt" invisible, but he was able to get control of it. Whenever he just meets someone it takes him awhile before he'll even think about opening up. He has started to open to the friends he has. There is a darker side to this shyness when combined with his invisibility. Simon will turn invisible to watch people. He has watched the girls change, as well as sneaking into someone's house and watching her sleep. This may come from a fear of approaching people or speaking with them. He finds it easier to watch and observe them, and even better - now he can do it without others catching him.
Simon does not speak needlessly and the things that he says should be taken seriously. He will say something useful when he does speak up about a situation. He is clearly smart. When the group killed their probation worker at the beginning of the series, he is the one who comes up with a way to hide the body in a way that would keep them from getting caught. Throughout the series he comes up with the most ideas on how to solve the problems. He is able to quickly identify problems, and works to resolve them for everyone around himself. He also uses his moral integrity to become a bit of a voice of reason when things start to go wrong. Though sometimes his resolutions are not always moral. Simon is not above finger pointing and speaking up when he feels something is wrong, too. It is, perhaps, why he wants so badly to be a superhero.
Simon can be found occasionally referencing Superheroes in relation to his own life (Superman, for example). He likes science fiction and superheroes. He seems to idolize the heroes within comics and movies. This is most likely what caused him to become a voice of reason to his friends. He uses these heroes as an example of what to do with his own abilities, and how to use them correctly.
Simon is someone who treasures his friendships, and he loves to keep record of his experiences. He is found filming everything throughout he series. He has videos of many of their conversations and photos of a lot of the events in his life (good for him - it helps him later on!). He will commit crimes to keep people around himself safe, and to keep his friends safe and out of trouble. He cares deeply about his friends, the other "Misfits", and has killed for them. They did start to bring him out of his shell, and Superhoodie is proof that he will some day have the confidence. He says that those days were the best days of his lives. He has a compassionate sense about him, and even people he feels have not always done right to him, he will stick his neck out for to save.
To note on the topic of Superhoodie. He is Simon in the future. He is a far more confident version of himself and a true-blue Superhero. Now, while this is not what the current Simon is. This Simon is aware of Superhoodie's existence and that it is in fact himself. It shows a lot of what this group of people and the experiences have done for him. He is quite strong, confident, and smart. He is an extremely effective and clever superhero. This is the sort of potential that this Simon has within himself. Simon is from a canon point where he is working hard to become this person, and is not exactly successful yet, but he knows it is within his capabilities now. I think him knowing has started to make him more confident.
Contrary to most of what was said earlier, Simon has an explosive and dangerous temperament. He has certain buttons that will set him off. A former friend invited "him" and when Simon found out it was meant for another Simon, he went and started to set fire to the boy's house. What stopped hm and broke that bit of rage was a cat, he said that the cat did him no harm and so he ended up putting the fire out. He got caught and the punishment was the community service that he is in from the start of the series. Also, Sally found out about the first probation worker that they had killed. She upset Simon enough that he killed her to protect them, and even states that he did it to protect them. He will always have an explosive temperament, and will always have buttons that can be hit. But even offending him slightly won't set him off, it would take some work to get him to that point.
✧ ABILITIES/POWERS: The only thing that sets Simon apart from others is his Invisibility. With invisibility, not only is he unable to be seen, but he is also unable to be heard as well. He is able to alter objects to become invisible with himself as well. He's not really stronger or faster than anyone else, either. Somehow I feel like I should note that when he did drugs, it reversed his powers, making him more magnetic, for the night.
✧ TIME OF ARRIVAL: Night.
✧ MASK DESIGN: Best viewed as this mask - the top part, of course. Basically The large gray eyeglasses, the nose, and even down side of the face. But the lips are revealed for the mask.
✧ PLACE OF SOLACE: The community center from the series. Complete with the locker room he's found in daily. There's not any good pictures of the outside, but I have some shots of the inside. Locker Room and main room. It's pretty average otherwise, there's several offices, and two floors to it. It is decent in size as well.
SAMPLES
✧ FIRST PERSON: [ a voice comes on, it is very unsure ]
Ah -- I guess I am lost. This is...inconveniencing me.
[ a long pause, which is followed by a shaky breath ]
A new world...like something in a movie or on television... a different place. I don't remember being in a television show... Could anyone please tell me the name of this place, perhaps? Anything useful or helpful would be nice as well. Even the smallest bit of information is nice. I would appreciate it.
Maybe a way back?
I have a bad feeling about this.
[his voice fades out, barely audible ]
I had a date.
✧ THIRD PERSON: Simon woke up under white sheets, he was quiet, looking around, and observant. He didn't hesitate for very long before he pulled his hood over his head, black and then he disappeared into nothing. He wouldn't be visible to others, and he felt that he get an idea of things going on around here without feeling in danger. He removed himself from the sheets of the bed, his eyes glancing around the room.
With quiet grace, he walked around, taking in the feel of the room before anything else. Simon had good instinct, and he would watch and be careful of the other things around him. The more he knew about this place, the better. He wanted to get home safe. He had found himself in plenty of tricky situations, but didn't want this one to end as badly as some of the others he had run into. There was a mirror on a wall, he hadn't noticed it in his initial scan of the room, but he approached it. He could see something so familiar on the other side. The locker room that he was so fond of with other people there.
He wanted to shout out to it, but knew he would get no answer and knew that they couldn't see him. He placed his hand against the wall, and quietly said, "I'll see you all in a bit. I'm sure of it."
Simon stood there and watched for several moments, but he knew that if he wanted to return, he couldn't stand there forever, isolating himself from the possibilities of finding answers. He moved towards the bed, and then his eyes directed towards the end table. He moved and picked up the communicator there. He knew that would be useful and stuffed it into his pocket.
The note, the warning that was there. Simon took it to heart, and he knew he was in trouble. "I must get home," he said, knowing there was no one able to hear it in his state.
He pulled his hoodie off his head and became visible. Something just didn't seem right. He didn't remember falling asleep, which made waking up something that worried him.
