Garfield Logan

## Background

### 1996 - 2009: Garfield Logan

Garfield was born to wildlife preservationists Mark & Marie Logan in the country of Qurac. Qurac was much different from its neighbor Bialya, as Quraci citizens were given freedom of speech & general welfare. Garfield spent a good portion of his childhood helping his parents tend to the animals on the Logan Animal Sanctuary. At a very young age, he had to step up to help hsi mother after his father fell ill. Unfortunately, his father only reamined with them for another year before subcumming to his illness.

With his father now gone, Garfield played a much more active role at the animal reserve. He helped tend to the injured animals, fed them regularly & did routinely checks on them. When Garfield was eleven, he was the monkey enclosure was attacked by a wild monkey. As Garfield did his best to get rid of him, he was bitten by the rapid animal. Marie took him to the doctors afterwards, who diagnosed him the rare illness called Sautika. In addition to keeping the reserve afloat, Marie had to driving Garfield to multiple doctor's appointments & constanly buy medications. Marie struggled to help Garfield as she had spent a lot of their savings on her late husand's treatments.

In 2009, Qurac witnessed a series on incursions at its borders shared with Bialya. Unfortunately for the Logans, the animal reserve was located on the reserve, When one of the incursions led to soldiers cutting through the reserve, Marie & Garfield tried to fend them off until they receieved help from Miss Martian, Superboy & Aqualad. The trio, along with some other members from the Titans, were currently investigating the incursions at the borders. In the action, Garfield was gravely injured & there wasn't much time to do anything. As Superboy & Aqualad fight off the soldiers, Miss Martian offers to modify her blood type to match Garfield's to give him a blood transfusion that would stabilize him. Not only did the blood transfusion help save Garfield from his injuries, it also cured him of his former illness.

### 2009 - 2012: Beast Boy

In the following weeks, it became clear that Garfield got more than just a clean bill of health. As the days went on, his skin turned more & more green while Garfield soon discovered that he possessed the ability to shapeshift into different animals. Afraid of what would happen if world got out, Marie kept Garfield in the house & did not allow him to go out in public, especially when tensions rising between Qurac & Bialya.

Timing could not have been worse as Queen Bee, the ruler of Bialya had become aware of the Logans' connections to the Titans & decided to exact her revenge. She took Marie to a secluded location then enthralled her to drive off the cliff, which Garfield witnessed. Devastated & traumatized, Garfield wasn't sure where to go. He eventually made his way to his mother's good friend & former acting buddy, Rita Farr.

Because Rita was living among other Doom Patrol members at their headquarters on a sentient street, Garfield soon became a member & took on the codename Beast Boy after he had controlled his shape-shifting abilities. Though everyone was welcoming & they didn't look at him weird like most people would, he didn't feel that this was where he belonged. After two years, he reached out Miss Martian, who invited him to come stay at Mount Justice & join the Titans.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Martian-Human Physiology:** After being severely injured, Garfield received a blood transfusion from M'gann, who modified her blood to match his. Though his condition stabilized, his blood was contaminated thus turning his eyes, skin & hair green. After given the transfusion, Garfield began to stabilize but his eyes soon began to turn into the color of green. His body also acquired the ability to shape-shift from the transfusion.
	+ ***Terrestrial Metamorph***: Beast Boy has the ability to morph into any animal he knows of. He can change into extinct animals & even animals from different planets.

He has changed into multiple animals such as a swarm of fireflies & a group of barnacles. The only problem is no matter what form he takes the animal's skin & hair color will always be green. Beast Boy can also change into a hybrid, which has all the animals' powers rolled into one. He cannot control this so he does not turn into a hybrid unless absolutely needed.
	+ ***Animal Mimicry***: Beast Boy has the power to mimic the abilities of any animal he knows of while he is in their form. The ability apparently gives him intuitive understanding of the animals and what abilities they have that may be useful in the situation.
