Application

Applications are currently closed!

This round is closed to previous voidtreckers only. That is any character that you have played in the Voidtrecker Express before. It doesn't matter if you had the character for a few days or played for years.

Because it is our last round there are a few exceptions to our usual app rules:

~ For this round you may go over the capp of 4 characters per person if you wish to and believe you can play them all through endgame.
~ For this round you may app more than one character at a time as long as you believe you can play them all through endgame.
~ Our usual rule on having 3 versions of any character has been lifted. You may re-app a character even if there are three of them in game. As long as it is a previous voidtrecker character they can be played- even if the character has since been apped by someone else.

When apping for this round it would be easiest for us for you to find your original app comment on this page and link it for us in a new comment!

CRAU developments: Delete for non CRAUs. How did your character change; how have their attitudes shifted as a result of being a CRAU.

Skills: Does your character have powers? List them here! Are they are a great fighter? That also goes here. Can they not fight for toffee but are the actual best at making pies? That goes here too!

Item: Characters can bring one item from home (must fit in their rucksack alongside the basic kit they are given) OR a pet/animal friend (no larger than a medium-sized dog).

Sample: Here is where you show us what you told us in your personality section! Linked threads are fine here. The sample needs to be for the version of the character you are sending here and older threads are fine. Writing an introspective piece or an IC diary entry or even a letter is also fine. As long as we get the feel of the character voice.

Notes: Anything else you want us to know?

Character Information


Name: Lawrence Betelgeuse Shoggoth, aka "Beetlejuice".
Canon: Beetlejuice the Musical
Canon Point: Post Show
OU/AU/CRAU/OC: CRAU: SMK
Age: Never directly stated. He's been "scaring for millennia", so, I've set his age at around 2,000 years. Appears to be in his thirties.

World Information: A world mostly like the real one, only, with the Netherworld attached. The Musical!Netherworld is a combination of going through TSA, a maze, and an endless abyss. Filled with the dead and demons, of course.

We don't get to see much of the Netherworld. But, it is known that suicides end up working as Civil Servants for eternity, and that it isn't a very pleasant place. (Hence Beetlejuice's preference for the Living World.)

It's bleak, like most government offices in the mortal realm. Crappy furniture and lighting, and full of fairly miserable dead people, stuck filing papers or slinging stale coffee for eternity. It's a very lonely place, with no views other than the spiraling abyss past the office portions. It's thought there is something/someplace after the Abyss, but, all speculations are headcanon.


Personal History: Beetlejuice is banished and cursed when we meet him in the show. He's a born dead demon and therefore was never a living human. His mother Juno, is in charge of Netherworld Customs and Processing.

At some point (it isn't said when or how) he was cursed and banished, sent to the world of the living where he can't be seen by the living until a living person says his Name three times.

Being cursed, he's unable to say his own Name. This complicates things, obviously. Being a Netherworld demon he can tell when living people are about to die and so, decides to stalk a married couple about to perish, and try to convince them to haunt their house and get the living people who move in, to say his Name three times.

But, noting goes as planned, of course.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetlejuice_(musical)#Plot

Personality: Betelgeuse is a demon straight from the Netherworld. Betelgeuse is fairly raunchy and is definitely a strong personality. This gets him in trouble often throughout his journey. All in all, he is a demon, so chaos follows him wherever he goes...and that’s just how he likes it. (Casting Call Club)

He wants to be loved (platonic or romantic) and has no idea how one would go about that. He loves attention (abject terror is a form of attention) and is willing to do almost anything to get it.

Once he has that attention, he wants badly to keep it. He's not, however, all that great at the nuances of friendship or any relationships, in general. He's more likely to take than to give.

Beetlejuice is overly dramatic, not overly honest, and extremely self-centered. But, despite that, he's also pretty insecure and has some fairly severe abandonment issues stemming from his truly awful mother. (It can be presumed/assumed she is the one who banished him from the Netherworld and cursed him in the first place.)

The demon is also, in one word: gross. Disgusting in terms of personal hygiene, what he's willing to ingest, and his sense of humor. He literally has moss growing on him and smells as dead as he looks. It has never occurred to him that better personal hygiene would/could result in more people tolerating him in their personal space.

To sum it up: smelly drama queen demon with abandonment issues.



CRAU developments: In SMK he met the movie version of Lydia Deetz. This version of Lydia is, in Beej's own words "less stabby" than his own version. He learned that her world's version of him was a great deal less charming, and was a lot less interested in a strictly Green Card marriage. She in turn learned that he fed his own mother to a Sandworm to save his version of her. (Directly after being murdered by her, no less. Even if he totally deserved it, even by his own admission.) Despite a rocky start, they ended up being BFFFF's.

His Lydia also arrived and having two best friends absolutely delighted him no end. Beetlejuice warned (threatened) the Kingdom Spirits who ran the place that if anything happened to either girl, he'd burn the place to the ground. The Lydiae (plural of Lydia he concocted) were the only people he'd ever willingly risk his existence for, and the only reason he was even relatively well-behaved.

At the point of his departure from SMK, Movie!Lydia had just left.

Being visible in the Kingdoms did a lot of good for Beetlejuice's self-esteem. He received a lot of positive attention from people, and managed to make a few friends outside of Lydia(s).

He did not, however, deal well with his powers being taken away, and having to relearn even the simplest of magic. He also did not appreciate being classified as a "Hero" in terms of what magic he could use, convinced it was a prank. (The last time a group of people said nice things to his face, it ended with him being murdered, after all.)

He greatly resented the Apprentices being "kidnapped" as he called it. Movie!Lydia really was the only thing keeping him in check, as she was happy there, and he wanted her to be happy with him as well.

Despite being mostly on his best behavior out of a desire to please Movie!Lydia, he still caused trouble. He worked with other demons to prank their fellow Apprentices, threatened the Spirits who brought them all there, offered to murder people who annoyed either Lydia, etc. He also refused to take his side job of tour-guide seriously. Instead of following the script (or even wearing the uniform), he made up stories each time, and insisted on wearing his trademarked stripes instead of the plaid uniform the other guides wore.

You can take the demon out of hell, but, you can't take the hell out of the demon.


Key themes: Death & Love.

Main Motivation: To be seen. To be loved. In his own words: "All I want is for someone, anyone, to look my way and say 'Hey. I see you, I accept you, I fear for my safety around you.'"

Skills: Chaos. Shapeshifting. Pulling things out of thin air. Scaring people half to death. (He has Fourth Wall abilities, but, those would not be present in game, as there is no visible audience to address. He is also able to possess people, but, I would not use this skill in-game, unless it was an NPC, or player/mod plot with plenty of discussion before hand.)

He's also a walking mood-ring. This is less of an ability and more of a tell. His hair changes color with his moods.

Item: That disgusting (yet trademarked!) jacket of his.
