EDIT I updated this meme a little to include character changes made to both of my OC's. I also added a question asked by Monkey's and my character's answers. Again, I encourage anyone to ask questions of my characters. Thanks!



I've been tagged by to do this meme. I have to thank her, 'cause I think this'll be pretty fun! I don't have too many high-profile original characters, so I guess I'll stick with my main two guys. But if there's a character of mine you want to see answer these questions (they don't have to be related to the Beetlejuice universe), let me know!

And as Monkeys said, I REALLY encourage anyone who wants to know more about the characters to ask them questions. My guys love answering posers.

Here's Monkeys' Meme : [link]

---

1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

---

1. Endri (ghost)
2. Kyle (human)

---

A. Are you a boy or a girl?
1. Endri : I am male. Though since I am not a human, I am not a "man". So I am just male.
2. Kyle : Uh...I'm a guy.

B. How old are you?
1. Endri : I am 645 as of November 2008.
2. Kyle : Uhh...I'm 42, I think. Yeah, 42.

C. YOU WANT A HUG?? XD
1. Endri : *recoils slightly* Ah...that's all right. I'm fine.
2. Kyle : Commere and gimme a big ol' huggerooni!!

D. You got any bad habits?
1. Endri : I repress a lot of the things that bother me. So I have about 645 years of baggage I drag around. As you could tell...that doesn't make me a pleasant person or someone easy to get along with. I also tend to express anger first and foremost.
2. Kyle : I have no bad habits. I'm a good little boy. Except for maybe the occasional drink. Oh, and I tend to jump the gun sometimes. I used to smoke, but Endri made me quit 'cause he hated the smell. Now I play Mah Jongg on my laptop to calm my nerves.

E. Favourite food?
1. Endri : I like teriyaki chicken and fried rice. It's sweet and spicy.
2. Kyle : Oh, baby, medium-well steak and country-fried potatoes with green beans on the side, and don't forget that country gravy! Mm-mm!!

F. Favourite Ice cream flavor?
1. Endri : I rarely eat ice cream, but when I do, I just like vanilla. Maybe with some peanut butter topping if I feel like splurging.
2. Kyle : Ohhh ho ho ho...I like these questions! Fudge brownie sundae!

G. Who's your mate/spouse?
1. Endri : I'd rather not answer that.
2. Kyle : He's just touchy. *whispers* Lack of a mate/spouse for 644 years will do that. I, on the other hand, have a mate. She used to be my spouse but when she died, kinda undid the vows. "Till death do us part." Ya know. So now we just live together. And I use the term "live" loosely.

H. You a virgin?
1. Endri : That is a personal question. *sighs* But since my parter here has already gone on about my personal life, I may as well admit it.... No, I'm not.
2. Kyle :

J. Killed anyone?
1. Endri : I have killed quite a few people in my day. Humans are so easy to do away with. Especially when they would instigate me, sometimes for good reason, sometimes for no reason. Whole villages would burn...men, women and children's bodies at my feet...taking what I could carry from those miserable troublemakers and heading along to somewhere else, only to have more of those bastards pick fights with me or accuse me of something...then it would happen all over again.... And the blood...delicious, coppery... *realizes what he's saying* Uh...ahem! Yes...I've killed people before.
2. Kyle : *after staring at Endri* No.

K. Hate anyone?
1. Endri : I had a love/hate relationship with humans in general. I hated them for the things they did, but I loved them for how soft and delicate they were. Now I just tolerate them...but of course, I'm still attracted to them. I also used to hate my father before I discovered he wasn't the one who murdered me and my mother. And now that I know who my father is...I tolerate him as well.
2. Kyle : Yeah, well I hated ghosts for the longest time. I thought they were all evil and murdered for fun and profit. *just described Endri in the past* I thought it was a ghost that killed my family, so I hated them all for it. But...after I found out I had been working with one for over 10 years...and after a few weeks of long thought after the feelings of betrayl died down...I guess you could say I tolerate ghosts now.

L. Any secrets?
1. Endri : My biggest secret for the longest time had been that I was a ghost. But now that that is common knowledge, I suppose my new secret is that... *gets a "you better not stop" look from Kyle and reluctantly continues* I will just say that I am very...battle worn.
2. Kyle : *grins as Endri crosses his arms* My secret's kinda lame actually. I get emotional very easily. Not just weepy, but angry, happy, distraught, etc. I try to hold it in and not let anybody know, but it doesn't work all the time. I don't even know if that's a real secret.

M. Favourite season?
1. Endri : I like spring the most. It's like the world is coming alive again.
2. Kyle : I like fall myself. Golden leaves, crisp air, brisk breezes. And not as sloppy as spring.

N. Who's your best friend?
1. Endri : Kyle, of course. *crosses arms*
2. Kyle : Aww! Endri's my best friend too. After being partners and hanging out together for over 10 years on Earth (not to mention all the time spent in the Neitherworld), it'd be hard to not like the guy. TOUGH as he is to like...it's hard not to once you do.

O. Hobbies?
1. Endri : I like to exercise and train my body to be fit and healthy. I also like to go out exploring in the Neitherworld a few days at a time.
2. Kyle : I dabble in electronics myself. Computer programming. My next big project will be a 2-way portal between 2 doorways.

P. Favourite Drink?
1. Endri : If it's alcohol you're asking about, anything that burns on the way down. But I prefer water or root beer.
2. Kyle : Rolling Rock! The finest beer for a mountain man! Cause...I live in a mountany area...in Montana... *gets the evil eye from Endri* Uh...root beer. Or Dr Pepper. But not because that's also my mate's name, I just...like it... I'll stop talking now.

Q. When's your birthday?
1. Endri : November 20, 1363.
2. Kyle : June 8, 1966. I was 3 when they landed on the moon.

R. What age do you die and why?
1. Endri : I'm already dead.
2. Kyle : Well, I'm just a normal guy, so I'll die when I get old, I guess. That or in a tragic accident. But I hope it's the former. Apparently though, through some "intervention" it doesn't seem like I'll be dying for a long, long, long, long time. *looks at Endri with a raised eyebrow*

S. Are you nice or mean?
1. Endri : I–
2. Kyle : Let me answer for both of us. Heh... Endri'll never tell the truth on that one. He's really a nice guy, but he likes to pretend he's mean. He's got a lot of anger in there and it masks the niceness, but it shines through on occasion. I, myself, am a really nice guy. Easy to get along with, witty, fun to be around. I'm always the life of a party.

T. What's the highest rank you achieve before you die?
1. Endri : Like I said...I'm already dead. Since I died when I was 6 months old, I didn't achieve very much in life. But the highest rank for a ghost to achieve...it could quite possibly be "power"-related. My father and I are already well on our way to becoming unrivaled. Unless there's someone stronger in the woodwork no one knows about.
2. Kyle : Super Genius!

U. What's your goal in life?
1. Endri : At one time, my goal was to destroy my father at any cost. Now, I...I don't really have any goals. Just to explore the Neitherworld, I suppose. Perhaps I should find a goal...
2. Kyle : Ya gotta have a goal! If you don't you'll just be a lost soul, wandering about the world...with...nothing... *gets a glare from Endri* So anyway, my goal is simple. I don't just want to be the smartest guy in America (which I am right now). I want to be the smartest guy in the WORLD! I want everyone to come to me for all the answers, and I shall be called "The Answer Man"! YES! YES! I'll be a know-it-all!! MWAHAHAHAA! *koff* Nah...but I do want to be smarter than I am now.

V. What were you known as and who gave you that name?
1. Endri : I was born Endriði of the Timbürlands, pronounced EN-dri-thi. Timbürland is the region where I was raised and it was a way to designate who was who from where back in olden times. It didn't take long to drop the "of the" from the designation to just make my last name "Timbürland", especially after I left the country. Humans gave me the nickname "The Viking" when I was, as they said, "terrorizing" them through Europe and Asia between about 1380 - 1507. I never disliked that. So now I am Endriði "The Viking" Timbürland. I like that it remains true to my Viking heritage. To make it simple, though, I ask people to just call me Endri. Kyle likes to call me 'Dri...I suppose it's easier for him to say that way, being how he's so simple.
2. Kyle : Hey! *ahem* So anyway... The name's Kyle Gavan Bennington...and my parents named me. Endri will sometimes call me Ky...only when he's feeling especially chummy though.

W. Do you embrace or reject technology?
1. Endri : I've SEEN the rise of human technology. I've seen them build bigger and better everything and anything. I was there when they created the flying machine and saw it developed into jumbo jets and fighter planes. I've seen governments, militaries, cities, and countries rise and fall. Only recently has the science of computers and microchips come into play.... They do their jobs I suppose, but one can't rely solely on technology to get by. I do think that man has become too dependent on technology.
2. Kyle : Hey, man, technology is my friend! I create it! It's like my baby; I gotta make sure it grows into a fine member of society. You may have a broader perspective on it, but it's all I ever knew. Technology is my friend.

~MonkeysWithGuns asks :
How did ~Spencers13 come up with you as a character, what were you like, and are you proud, ashamed, or ambivalent about your origins?

1.Endri : If I recall, my creation came about when Lacey was developing the Beetlejuice story "A New Beginning". She wanted to make a more dark, gritty version of the cartoon series as a continuation of the original cartoon, and give the already established characters more of a history. Who was Beetlejuice really? Where did he come from? What was he like when he was alive? A lot of math went into it as well.

Lacey established that Beetlejuice had a family when he was alive; a family that was taken from him cruelly, along with his own life. Ever since, he had been searching for his family in the Neitherworld, but unable to find them.

Since I remained on Earth after I was killed, that brought forth many situations Lacey could use in her storytelling. The son of Beetlejuice became the antagonist of the story, thinking his father had murdered him and wanting to exact revenge. So at first, I was a minor character, only created to make Beetlejuice's history richer and more dramatic. But I was revisited several times until I became who I am today.

I'm not sure how to answer the second part of your question, "what was I like", but I will try. At first, I was strictly revenge-driven. I had no clear history of who I was or where I had been for the last 600 years. I simply wanted to destroy my father for killing me. But over time, with more and more side-stories written about me and my partner, Kyle, my history became more "filled-in", as you would say. I have events that I can now reference back to, such as my being The Viking.

As for my origins, I am very proud of who I am and where I came from. Pride runs in my blood, and is as regular for me as smirking. I love the fact that I am pure-blooded Viking, and will state it regularly if I have to.

2.Kyle : Boy, you're long-winded! Finally, it's my turn! How was I created huh? Endri needed a buddy! He couldn't do all that revenge crap by himself, so I was created to be his partner. At first, I was pretty shallow too, just somebody that wanted to destroy ghosts 'cause he hated them. So I was partnered with Endri because we had the same-ish goals: he wanted to destroy his father's ghost, and I wanted to destroy all of 'em. And Endri didn't care who else got trampled on so long as his dad bit it.

I was the techy guy and Endri was the grunt is what it all boiled down to. My inventions and technical savvy was just what Endri needed to help him reach his goals and mine too. It was only later that it was established my reasons for hating ghosts (which was that a ghost killed my family). And from then on, with the side-stories written later, my background filled in side-by-side with Endri's. Only my history doesn't go back so far, and is a lot tamer than his. But it involves a lot of deaths in my family...the deaths of all of them actually. I'm the last Bennington alive.

I guess I'm pretty proud of my origins. Although I didn't start out as a very good guy with shallow views, I turned into a really nice, fun-loving guy; smarter than the average Joe; cute as all hell. And the girls love me!
