Um... hi there, people of the Campus! I'm fresh meat, but my name is Tora. 8D; It's really nice to meet you!
I've chosen to bring you a very fun and silly villain from an equally fun and silly canon, Betrayus from the cartoon Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures! There's a wiki page link for him on his profile, but I think personality-wise his character is also perfectly summed up in this hilarious 30 second clip from the show.
Basically he's a goofy, dorky, but somehow at the same time threatening ghost with fire powers who is hammy as all get-out. But he can also be a lot of bark without much bite, especially without his ghost army around, so the worst he'll probably do is set off a sprinkler or accidentally burn something. I hope you all find him as amusing as I do!

I'm a bit nervous as I often am playing a western animated character among a lot of live action/anime/video games (although a large amount of his canon is made in Japan, if that counts for anything...?), but I'm having a great time here so far and I can't wait to keep playing with everyone!<3

My plurk is AdorablyRotten, if you would like to add me feel free! Thank you so much and I hope you have a lovely day! :3

(by the way, my best friend is eventually going to be bringing in this cartoon's incarnation of Pac-Man too, after Bets here gets lured into a false sense of security, hehehe~)

NOW THERE'S A FAMILIAR FACE <3

[betraitorous]

Hi Abi!!<3 ;u;

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I demand everyone make friends with you right away because you always have the best damn choices in muses.

And Good lord, I've had a terrible...TERRIBLE idea.

I wonder how The Campus would feel about having a certain sorcerer hanging about underneath it or throw his GF into the actual campus to have a little bit of fun.

[betraitorous]

Ah thank you so much, I'm glad you think so!

aahhh omg either one would be fantastic...

[roadroller]

Hey it's Des, you already know me sort of from insertcoins but I for one will always welcome more western animation!!

[betraitorous]

Hi Des, it's been a while! :3 I'm happy getting to play with you again!

And that's great to hear, more people really should, 'cause I think western cartoons today are some of the best they've ever been! Even this wacky Pac-Man show is super entertaining, beautifully animated and has awesome characters~

[roadroller]

I sadly lack cable so I've been too lazy to keep up with much things, but I have a couple muses from older canons like Foster's and KND. None here though, Nigel would be a paranoid wreck with this many adults and teenagers around and Madame Foster needs to be free.

[betraitorous]

Pfft, who needs cable when you've got the internet? |D
I watched the whole first season of this show online, I haven't seen it on TV at all yet, though that'll change by the time season 2 comes out (which I'm way too excited for...)

Older cartoons are excellent though! ;v; Even if you don't think they'd work here.

[roadroller]

You have a longer internet attention span than me then! (Vocaloid is a perfect fandom for me cause I can watch a PV for five minutes and then go do my tags or whatever.)

[betraitorous]

It helps when the show is horribly addicting and you can barely stop yourself from marathoning episodes, orz...

[stealshinies]

Hello! I'm so glad to see new people eee. It's great.

I'm Andy, head mod, and I play Thief King here, Ryou Bakura (onethirdthesoul) and Malik Ishtar (obeytherod)! And some more dudes who don't get out as much...hahaha.

I'mma add you on plurk. I'm Danderly there. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

[betraitorous]

Hey there Andy, it's nice to meet you! :D
Thanks so much, I'll make sure to ping you if I need anything!

Gosh, all these YuGiOhs... kind of makes me nostalgic for when I was really into the card game, eheh.

[stealshinies]

Same here~
And good! More people should ping me when they have questions :P I think people are nervous sometimes.

But yeah I...love YGO. Obviously, lmfao. Some of the videogames are surprisingly fun--the spin-off ones too! Go figure. But yeah, we gotta small cast going on here. And I want to pick up more...

[fluffydeathdealer]

Don't worry, m'dear! Western animation is totally love, yo. Even if I don't know the cartoon in question, we're always happy to see more people from western stuff!

I'm Pie, and at the moment I mostly just play this guy and his host, though I've got a list of other characters I might nervously bring in later.

Also ahaha Pac-Man.

[betraitorous]

Hi there Pie! :3 Ahh and that's a relief to hear, since western animation is the least popular... category I guess? of canons on DWRP, unless you play from Avatar The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra or My Little Pony or something, so a lot of the time it can be pretty nerve-wracking coming in with a non-Japanese (or at least not 100% Japanese) cartoon character... orz

ahaha yeeeeah... my experience with trying to talk to most people about this show has basically been "So it's kind of a cartoon about Pac-Man... NO WAIT COME BACK IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD"
And it is, if very strange and ridiculous, but I think that's the point |D;

[fluffydeathdealer]

I know a bunch of the muns here are pretty into western animation as well as eastern, so I doubt you'll have too much problems. But you're right, we really don't see a lot of western animated characters anymore, short of occasional Disney, MLP or ATLA guys. I think the last one I saw that didn't fit into those was Danny Phantom over at Siren's Pull a few years back. But yeah, we're not really biased against mediums here!

Ahahaha, it's kinda hilarious to imagine, I will admit, but I've seen weirder concepts. Eventually, I tend to experience most canons I RP against at least a little, so I'll definitely give it a look eventually! ...whenever I stop being lazy and get through my list of stuff-to-watch.

[betraitorous]

I still see Danny Phantom players on occasion... to say nothing of the fact Bets here got punched in the face by Danny himself during his voice test. 8'D;
But yeah that seems to be one of the more prevailing western animation canons for whatever reason.
I'm glad you keep an open mind!<3

I'll bet you the show is at least as hilarious as you're imagining it |D It is pretty unexpected, and the more I think about it the more I can compare it to MLP. After all I don't think anyone figured that cartoon would have such an interesting world, well-developed characters, impressive writing and plots, etc. But I think the main difference between PMatGA and MLP is that PMatGA only takes itself seriously when it feels like it, haha... a lot of the time it's intentionally cheesy and really endearing as a result.

btw I'm an animation student and generally obsessed with cartoons and critiquing/analyzing/knowing everything I possibly can about them, so if you ever need a recommendation for a (American/Canadian/European) animated series or film to watch or just want to know the state of the industry I'M ALL OVER THAT %D

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ehe, I rarely watch things that haven't been recommended to me, because I don't watch TV unless there's someone on I specifically want to see. So I don't often play from western animation myself, although I did want to pick up someone from Jackie Chan Adventures at some point. Recommendations are always loved, however. That must be an awesome thing to study!

Wow, that really sounds pretty awesome, ngl.

[betraitorous]

Oohh I used to love Jackie Chan Adventures! I haven't seen it in a while but I do know it's on Netflix, so if you have at least the streaming service, canon review/screencapping for icons would be easy!

And thank you! :'D My art school has a wonderful animation program that I feel so happy and lucky to be a part of. My professor in one of the classes I'm taking right now used to be an animator at a Canadian Disney studio, where he worked on or directed a bunch of direct-to-video movies. And he storyboarded for the Beetlejuice cartoon series!
Also next week I'm going to meet Fred Seibert, who owns Frederator Studios, which makes Adventure Time, Fairly OddParents, and a bunch of other animated shows for Nickelodeon. He's one of the most important people in the entire industry and I'm so unbelievably excited aaaahhhhh ;u;

[fluffydeathdealer]

Alas, it isn't on the UK version of Netflix; I checked. The UK version of Netflix has very few decent shows, sadly.

Wow, that's pretty amazing! That's going to be an experience to remember for sure! I hope you have a lot of fun~.

[betraitorous]

Oh no, that's disappointing :c I do know this site which might be able to help, it's not the best for screencaps but it's something!

Thank you, again! >u< I'm sure I will!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Oh, thank you! I didn't know that site existed~. I appreciate it!

[betraitorous]

No problem! :D I use this site all the time when something's not on Netflix or I don't already have it downloaded. My cartoon collection is... quite large.

psst it's got Bets's canon too, wink wink nudge nudge~

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ohohoho~... I'll take the hint!

[chicken_fox]

Yo Tora! Welcome!
(I have someone from Star Trek and Red Dead Redemption so you're not alone with Wastern characters. Heh.)
I'm Aqua. Be rping with ya soon. ;3

[betraitorous]

Hi Aqua! c:

ahaha... well Star Trek is live-action so it's absurdly popular anyway;; not as sure about Red Dead Redemption but it is a video game so it's still probably higher up on the commonality scale.

Thanks for the welcome!

[chicken_fox]

Hm. True true.
You're welcome!

[willedtoexist]

HI.

We do indeed have a lot of video game/anime characters but as a whole we're pretty open to playing with all sorts! So don't worry, I'm sure you'll do great here. c: That being said I hope you enjoy yourself in The Campus.

Oh, and I'm Rae, co-mod. Please feel free to bombard me with questions if you so desire!

[betraitorous]

Thank you very much! I'm really enjoying it so far!

Nice to meet you, Rae! o/ Will do!
