Stephen Quire

Stephen Quire is the sixth playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
== Character Description ==
Stephen Quire is the star of the Greatest Freakout Ever series, where he overreacts to things and destroys other's property. He is very much against people touching him, or insulting him in any way. He doesn't think things through, which results in his freak outs. He's also seen as quite selfish and inconsiderate of others.
=== Role in the Beatdown Lore ===
Stephen Quire was part of the first group of fighters recruited to Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown, being introduced to Mama Umbridge while with his fellow fighters. At one point, Stephen has a freak out that involved him going on a rampage in the mansion, throwing things around and telling Umbridge to shut up.
At some point, Stephen goes on another tantrum (the cause of which is unknown) and starts breaking things in one of the mansion's rooms. When Umbridge comes to investigate, she is instead ready to physically stop Stephen. His strength during his freak out was surprisingly a match for Umbridges as he threw her out a window. From the mirror he broke however, Psycho Dad emerges, and the two argue before starting another destruction of the room.
Stephen was also present during the first Beatdown Direct, meeting PeanutButterGamer with the rest of the fighters, as well as the newcomers from the Training Colosseum. Later (when PBG actually arrives at the mansion), as Markiplier gives PBG a proper introduction to some of the fighters, Stephen gets offended by being called "wafflepwn" and throws a cupcake at Mark's face.
Stephen also was one of the people who yelled at Mrs. Mavilda for telling the fighters to stop playing and to get back to work. Stephen was also supposed to play one of Perducci's henchmen in Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time!, but refused and argued with Strong Bad during filming, which resulted in John Egbert being cast as the henchman instead. Despite this, he still attended the world premiere, but left afterwards with the others.
== Moveset ==
=== Playstyle ===
Being a very reckless and angry person, Stephen Quire wants everyone else to play by his own rules. Like in the Freak Out videos, he can challenge opponents by destroying their property or punishing approaches. Essentially, he wants the match to be all about him, with movement and attacks making him unpredictable. Stephen can easily overwhelm foes by using traps against them or directly countering foes and punishing approaches, but ironically enough touching Stephen at a distance is what messes with his game plan.

=== Special moves ===
Attack 	Name 	Description
Standard special	Freakout 	Stephen charges up and screams, stunning anyone around him and countering with a shove if some happens to attack or get close. How long the move is charged changes how far an opponent is pushed. Stephen will also take no knockback if a projectile hits him, it will simply phase through him (he will still take damage from the projectile).
The stun does no damage, however the push does 7%. If a opponent or assist gets pushed into another opponent, they'll also take damage. Damage changes depending on the weight of the character/assist.
If an opponent is taunting Stephen's stun does 10% damage, and the rest of the attack will do increased damage (% not revealed yet).
Side special 	Property Damage 	Stephen will pick up and throw a trap forward, damage changing depending on the trap itself. If thrown about too much the trap will break. If no traps are in range Stephen will simply toss a basic projectile, dealing different damage depending on his current %.
* 0% will give you kitchenware that flies straight, dealing 10% and average knockback.
* 50% will give you a computer case that doesn't go far before falling to the ground as a heavy item, dealing 23% to anyone it hits.
When close to an light-weight opponent and no traps are in range, he can throw them for 5% damage.
Up special 	Stolen Fire Extinguisher 	Stephen uses a fire extinguisher to attack on the ground and slowly recover in the air. Using the special on the ground will slow down opponents and their attacks for 5 seconds, while in the air it will put opponents into freefall if they touch it, and gain the slowdown effects.
This special does no damage, and using it too much will result in a 10 second cooldown.
Down special 	Shirtless Shenanigans 	Stephen takes off his shirt, anyone in range of the shirt will trip and Stephen will gain an attack buff to his attacks and specials for 10 seconds. In exchange, Stephen will receive increased knockback from attacks.
Tapping Down B in this state will allow Stephen to do..something, to heal 10%.
Final Smash 	How The Stephen Stole Christmas	Stephen yells "YOU'RE GOTTA SEE THE BEAST!" and throws a Christmas tree down, before grabbing all traps on the stage and picking up any opponents in his way while saying "Come at me, I swear to god!" and tossing them on it. He'll light the tree and saying "Merry Christmas, f-----! Merry Christmas!", and deal damage based on the traps and opponents in the pile; 50% per player and 25% per trap. The path Stephen moves is determined by the traps onstage, and if there are none Stephen will simply move in a circle.
This FS does no knockback, however it will leave opponents on the ground and vulnerable.
