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~)

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

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.

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!
