Bedhead (by Hedgy2099)

## Bedhead

Bedhead is a Elven pilot of a robotic bed without a fangame appearance. His is part of the Undead Element, released alongside one of the Battle Packs, The Ruins' Remnants.

## Background

### Personality

While the Bed does all the fighting, Bedhead does all the talking. A **lot** of talking. He constantly breaks out into long sentences when speaking, giving an air of superiority around his every word. However, he does it out of boredom; after all, you'd get bored to being essentially bedridden.

He also has some of the most amount of dialogue, often having much to say in a situation. Grabbing a Soul Gem? He fourth-wall breaks. Opening a Lock Puzzle gate? He brags about how minimal the challenge was. Entering an Elemental Gate? He... actually just gives a short one-liner? Like with all Battle Pack Skylanders, he also has lines for after winning a Battle Mode match.

### Biography

Bedhead was seen to be 'lazy' but also had high expectations. He was a genius in learning, but was frail and not interested in fisting. This lead to his brainiac nature and him being bullied, only worsening his frail figure. With enough injuries, he soon came to know his bed more than any other place, which gave him an idea; if his bed is where he was safest to recover, why not bring it everywhere? And even better, let it do the fighting for him?

His intellect and personal connections allowed him to get into the Academy's Tech departments, where he met & got acquainted with Sprocket, who was surprised to see a bed on the workfloor. After some explaining, and further questioning, the Goldling and Elf set out mechanising the bed, and following sleepless nights & breakless days (that's a lie, they did get plenty of rests & breaks), it was complete.

But, just using such a marvellous piece of mechanical might for a revenge against the bullies story was too small for Bedhead, and Sprocket agreed that letting the fruits of their labour be used for something like that wasn't really worth the effort. So, he put his pacifistic nature aside to train to pass fists with any threat to Skylands. Though, you gotta wonder if he even remembers how to walk!

## Gameplay

### Overview

Furthering his inspiration, Bedhead plays just like Bedman does (at least in his original appearance). Being that it's a literal bed fighting, he's the slowest Skylander by far (even being slower than Grave Clobber, due to how stats for Core Skylanders work compared to Gimmicklanders like Senseis). But, that means the bed's built to last & built to break everything! Slash through enemies with haymaker combos, spiralling spin-outs, bed drops from above & dreamy objects of various properties. Upon using a move, and getting his 'Recurring Dream' upgrade, you can call upon that attack from the same position for bonus damage!

#### Basic Upgrades

**Skylanders can buy these new abilities from Persephone or Power Pods**.

* **Bed Drop** (Costs 500 Gold)

* **Daydreaming** (Costs 700 Gold)

Press Attack 3 to have Bedhead dream up something, before the mech releases it as an object, pulled from a pool of items\*;

1. A sheep; it just roams around, but you can hit it with Bedhead's attacks to launch it.

2. A bomb; after its fuse is gone, it explodes.

3. A stormcloud; it floats around, striking below it with thunderbolts three times.

4. An alarm clock; after a few seconds, it will start ringing, damaging anything near it.

5. Skulls; they'll attack up to 5 enemies on screen for a period of time.

* **Recurring Dream** (Costs 900 Gold; must learn Daydreaming before this can be purchased)

When performing the final hit of Drowsy Pummelling, Rock The Bed, Bed Drop or Daydreaming, a symbol corresponding to one of your four face buttons will appear (Attack 1, Attack 2, Jump, Attack 3). Hold Attack 3 and then press the respective button to cause a repeat of that attack to occur in its original position (attack is respectively marked with a \*).

*(Recurrent Attacks can only be done once per symbol. Hold the respective button to delay the attack, or make it last longer in the case of Rock the Bed.)*

* **Good Night's Sleep** (Costs 1,200 Gold)

Bedhead will recover a small amount of Health during his idle animation; up to 10% of his current Health every 3 seconds.

## Trivia

* His name & appearance are inspired by Bedman, a bedridden fighter from Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-.
	+ He also shares the same voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal - Yuri also voiced Trail Blazer, Fright Rider and Softpaw in Skylanders.
	+ Much like Bedman, Bedhead speaks in long, monologuing paragraphs, but unlike Bedman, he does speak in the middle of battle.
* He was originally going to be a Mabu instead of an Undead Elf.
	+ He was also originally named "Unbed" - a play on Undead and Bed, obviously.
