The Boogeyman

Unknown Parents

The Boogeyman, also known as Boogey Tingler, is the father of Spinel Tingler, alongside being the CEO of the company Nightmare Curators.

## Appearance

The Boogeyman is a very tall, slender, and pale demon with pointed ears, curly, pale blond hair, white eyes, pointed teeth, a narrow chin, and a pointed nose. He is normally seen in a white suit with a spider as a bowtie. He usually has a wide grin on his face. He is also similar to his son in appearance.

## Personality

The Boogeyman has a superiority complex a mile long, and as such, due to his inflated ego, he rarely apologizes for his actions. He is also a narcissist who enjoys his power over others due to their fear or respect of him due to his legendary status in the society of Little Diversity. He also loves to ridicule others for their beliefs and ideals if they don't match his idea of how the world works.

He also is shown to be rude, arrogant, and sadistic, as he enjoys messing with the lives of the people around him. He also doesn't seem to care who he makes look bad or accuses things of, as seen when he listed suspects to Spinel about who burned down his company, and seems to only feel remorse when he has gone too far.

He also continuously smiles, which is mainly to show his confidence in his schemes or to sway others and make them trust, or, in some cases, startle people who wish to harm them and make them back out of what they plan to do. He is also very conceited, as he thinks of himself as one of the most powerful people in Little Diversity, and is shown to care very little about others and their problems.

Yet all of this may be due to the loss of his wife, and due to her absence, may have grown to the point of being a complete narcissist. He also has a habit of being exuberant in his nature, as he can be quite a showman, yet that doesn't mean he won't threaten or even straight out torture to get his way. He can also be naive, due to being born over a millennia ago, and as such, is prone to make comments that can be sexist or even outright offensive. He also lacks a filter when speaking, and as such, can be a bit of a motormouth, getting him into trouble.

He does care about his loved ones though, despite his many negative traits, and does indeed love Spinel, even though he and Spinel are estranged. He is also pansexual.

## Abilities

The Boogeyman has many powers, many that haven't been seen yet, but in short, is extremely powerful.

* Nightmare Control: Can control and give nightmares to anyone he wishes.
* Multilingualism: He can speak any language thanks to his thousands of years of experience from exploring the depth of humanity.
* Cooking: Though it has yet to be seen, the author has said that Boogey can cook anything.

## History

### **Post series**

It is unknown what The Boogeyman's history was before the series, but it is known that he and his son grow to have a rather fractured relationship due to his wife being absent most of Spinel's life. This leads to their rather estranged, unhealthy relationship, and mistrust for the other, mainly on Spinel's behalf.

### **Little Diversity**

Boogey is first seen while searching for a client he was supposed to meet up with, and is about to be mugged by some young thugs when he stops them with a threat. Boogey is later seen visiting Spinel after Spinel's buisiness is blown up by an unknown attacker. He lists off three suspects, though he only gets Spinel enraged and is told to leave after getting a knife pressed to his throat when Spinel loses his temper.

## Relationships

### Spinel

Spinel and his father don't get along, so much so that when they interact, it can get rather unhealthy. But Boogey does love his son, despite this.

### Missy Oaks

Not much is shown in terms of interaction between them, though he does call Missy a "creampuff," which also may be a hint to his rather old-fashioned, sexist nature.

### Spinel's Mother

Not much is known about their relationship, though the Boogeyman is reminded of his wife by Spinel.

### His Parents

Not much is known about his relationships with his family.
