## Appearances

### Portrayed by

Laval40

Partridge is a being of 90% random luck and 10% random power. He is a lime green gang Beast (occasionally shown as red during waves games) and wears a hat, which he adores, and believes gives him his random burst of power and skill (although he does not know of its full power). Partridge goes berserk on any enemies if they attempt to throw away his hat. He is similar to Edward in a way, as they are both unpredictably powerful sometimes, and other times lacking in fighting or protection skills.

Partridge, despite his luck in fights, can also be very unlucky (and can regularly be hit by the subway train or knocked of the roof during a trucks match). Partridge is a heroic character, and is good, unlike Capt. Lemon Soul or The Doctor.

### Special Ability

**Stroke Of Luck -** Partridge's special ability allows him to cheat death by having a shorter time concussed and is able to wake up faster. It also takes more hits to knock him out.

## History

### Video History

Partridge was absent from the very first Gang Beasts video, 'The Mighty Kick', as he had not yet been invented as a character. His first on-screen appearance was in the episode 'When Your Friends Ask If You're Good At Games', and his name was revealed in the episode 'The Great Truck Heist'. Partridge has only been absent from six episodes in total, three of which were in Season One, two in Season Two and one livestream.

Ever since 'The Great Truck Heist' partridge has been a main protagonist (he is technically the main protagonist, as he is given so much screen time, focus and development) along with the other heroes like Dr Phil and Big Show. Partridge was a main character in almost every episode since then, but he was only a supporting role in 'Being an Idiot with Sebmceough' and only appeared in two clips from 'Gang Beasts Montage (Barbra Streisand)'

### Cannotical Backstory (1961-2000)

Partridge was born on October 12th 1961 in Beef City. During his childhood he attended school with Dr Phil, who he met when we was eight years old, and the two have been best friends ever since.

When Partridge got older he opened his radio station in Beef City, which became widely popular, making him a well liked, small, local celebrity. As well as music, he also did news reports, and he was especially interested in the political state of Beef CIty.

### Role in Season One

In 2000 The Doctor formed RYD to take down the Heroes of Beef City such as **Partridge**, Mario and Big Show, and the fights we see in the videos occur in this time. Officer Dixon (who was Chief of Police for 40 years) died while trying to take down his arch enemy The Sprayer, at the Buoy, where they eventually both drowned. His body was never found, so the Mayor never made Officer O’Rough Chief of Police, in the hopes that Dixon was still alive.

RYD had a series of battles with the heroes of Beef City, and lost all of them, which resulted in some casualties, like the death of Magenta Penguin and several others. The Doctor fled the scene, and ordered the members of RYD to disband. Although they still ally against the heroes on occasion, the organization of RYD officially is no more.

At 2002, The Doctor and The Mayor made Y O G A where they kicked out all orphans from Beef City, which explains why there are no orphans in all of Beef City.

In 2005 after years of fighting the heroes of gang city, **Partridge** and Edward turned on The Doctor to take him down together, as they recognized he was a bigger threat to the City then they were to each other, as he had his brainwashed army and owned the Beef Fast Food Industry. They came to the Incinerator to fight him, and he summoned his finest brainwashed warriors to fight them instead, as he is very cowardly. **Partridge**, Edward, Mario and Big Show worked together to fight them off, and then they attacked The Doctor with barrels of his own Beef. Big Show swung a barrel into The Doctor’s face, pushing him backwards and into his Incinerator.

### Role in Season Two

In 2006, Even Bigger Show died of old age and managers all across Beef City began to mysteriously disappear. **Partridge** used his radio broadcasting station and slowly leaked information about all that had happened in Beef City. The Mayor was then elected and became the most important man in all of Beef City. He secretly reopened the underground factory that was previously closed down by the Beef City's Police Force and local soccer mom Karen hid the kidnapped managers. Lieutenant Kai Young and Lieutenant Harry Moore arrive from Washington to investigate Brutes activities and find a secret weakness.

As **Partridge** released who did all the crimes in the city, Eye Brawl burst in and cut the line of signal. **Partridge** escaped and in a state of desperation, The Mayor put all the blame on Officer O'Rough and fired him. Officer O'Rough then drank away his sorrows at Beef City Pub where he noticed The Vampire King hiring all the lost criminals of Beef City such as Air Lingus and Pumpkin Vader. He joined the group and they set up their headquarters at Wheel.

While The Mayor and Karen held the managers hostage at Incinerator, The Doctor emerged from the fire after the meat that he fell upon, moulded with him to make him a brute, making him The Doctor (Brute Form). They all agreed to take down **Partridge** and his radio station. They sacrificed The Detective whom was tied up among the other managers. Lieutenant Harry Moore arrives to The Mayor to give him the samples to kill the Brutes but was shot by Karen who betrayed them.

The group of villains (Officer O'Rough, The Vampire King and Underwear Umal) raid the Beef City's Police Force Headquarters with the door key supplied by O'Rough. They kick out Spanish Police Officer and the other cops and take over one of the biggest buildings in Beef City.

**Partridge** calls out to Mario, Off Brand Spider Man, Big Show, Cletus and Jay The Masked Chap to assist in elimination of whoever sent out Eye Brawl. Sooner investigation shows that a group of 'scoundrels' have taken over the police headquarters. They investigated and found the villains hiding and searching up the 'Bigger Threat Here!'. Just then, The Doctor (Brute Form) burst into the room and everyone inside escaped to the top floor. Just as they thought they were safe, The Mayor and Karen ambushed them with Mediums, Brutes and Mini Beasts. Jay The Masked Chap instantly got punched off and The Mayor threw Underwear Umal off. All looked lost until Gordon McGeough (Head of the Hero Republicans) came in on a helicopter with his recruits such as Captain Revelations, Platypus Patrick and 200 other people. The battle began and many soldiers died. The Vampire King ran down to the bottom and burned the first floor. Lieutenant Kai Young arrives, aware of the Brutes weaknesses and goes at The Doctor (Brute Form). He runs to **Partridge** and Off Brand Spider Man and informs then of his weakness. All three of them run and him and jump. Lieutenant Kai Young gets punched and falls of the Roof. **Partridge** and Off Brand Spider Man hit his weak spot and The Doctor falls backwards off the Roof to his death, finally killing him. The building starts collapsing and Karen betrays The Mayor, killing him via stabbing with a knife. She dies when the building collapses. Gordon McGeough awards **Partridge**, Off Brand Spider Man, Big Show and The Vampire King medals of heroicness. Until a new villain emerged in Season Three.

## Personality

Partridge is a kind and good person. He is helpful, always trying to help those around him, and very friendly, meaning he has a lot of friends around Beef City. He is a happy go lucky optimist, and tries his best alongside his friends to protect and serve the people of Beef City. He is polite and soft spoken, and is very popular on his radio show through town. However, Partridge is an ambitious man, and sometimes dreams for more, but is overall very content with his life, community position, abd relationships with others.

## Relationships

### Dr Phil

Dr Phil and Partridge are best friends, having met when they were eight years old at school and grew up together as classmates and friends. The two still hang out and spend time together after work and on weekends, going out or staying in having fun playing games or going on adventures.

### Big Show

Big Show and Partridge were huge fans of each other's work before they met, and when they started work as heroes together they became the best of friends, and they hang out together all the time.

### Off Brand Spider Man

Off Brand Spider Man and Partridge are best friends, who work and spend time together a lot, and often go camping together, along with Mario.

### Edward

Edward and Partridge have a complicated relationship. The two act as rivals and foils for each other, and have fought in battle, as they are both extremely powerful. They fought several times, as Edward was corrupted by his own power and potential, and flattered by RYD to join them, and so he did. When he realised how evil the Doctor was he quit RYD and joined the heroes, where he formed a friendship with partridge. While they are sometimes jealous of each other, they do make a good team and are good to each other when not in competition.

### Mario

Mario is a good friend of Partridge, and the two enjoy camping, gaming and ponding important life questions and philosophies together often. While Off Brand Spider Man and Big Show are close friends of Partridge, he has more intellectual chats with Mario.

### Eye Brawl

Eye Brawl is an elder warrior of the heroes group, and often teaches Partridge new fighting styles and moves, and the two are good friends, and they always have each other's backs in battles against RYD Villains.

### Agatha

Agatha was Partridge's rebound after his divorce, but it didn't work out between them. The two still remain close friends.

### Captain Lemon Soul

Captain Lemon Soul and Partridge were good friends, but after Lemon Soul's encounter with the Malevadon and his descent into dangerous aggressive madness, Partridge, after failing to help him, stopped talking to him, although he still tries to help him become a good person again if they encounter in battle, but that always fails, and they are forced to fight.

### The Doctor

The Doctor is the main enemy of **Partridge** and the heroes against the RYD Villains. He is pure evil, and a sadistic person who dislikes Partridge (and has tried to kill him and his friends on more than one occasion) and Partridge dislikes him. Partridge is fearful of him, but will fight him if he needs to, and has shown to be brave about him, once revealing important information about his shady medical practices and evil intentions on his radio show, risking his life in the process. He was present in the final battle where The Doctor fought and died after falling from the top of a building.

### Officer O' Rough

Partridge is a frenemy of Officer O'Rough, who sometimes has it out for him, and sometimes comes to him for help. This is because several years before the Gang Beasts Series Partridge came to his home for dinner and accidentally broke a priceless family heirloom belonging to his Grandmother. O’Rough now arrests Partridge at any chance he gets, often ignoring real crimes in favor of being an inconvenience to Partridge, proving his incompetence and neglect to the Beef City Police Force. However, the two sometimes get along, and Officer O' Rough did eventually turn good and help Partridge and the heroes, and Officer O' Rough has come to partridge more than once for advice and help.

### Disco Donkey

Disco Donkey and Partridge are friends and enjoy going out of friday nights after their workplaces close and going dancing at Disco Dan's Disco Diner. The two enjoy partying and having a good time together, once staying up all night on a boat party, before The Doctor ruined their fun by blowing up the boat.

### Pumpkin Vader

Pumpkin Vader and Partridge have fought several times as enemies, but whenever a new 'Star Wars' comes out they put their quarrels aside and go to Beef City Cinema and watch it together.

### Carroll

Carroll is Partridge's ex-wife. The two met in college and were happy together, having two children, Matthew and Meabh. Their relationship shattered when Carroll became infatuated with her fitness instructor, and she divorced Partridge to be with him. They don't talk often anymore, but still have awkward run-ins at the local coffee shops.

### Matthew and Meabh

Matthew and Meabh are Partridge's two children from his marriage with Carroll. They remain on good terms with him, but they don't see eachother much apart from the holidays, as Matthew went to work in Canada, and Meabh lives with her fiance in Jamaica.

### Desmond and Jimmy Shaw

Desmond Shaw and Jimmy Shaw ('The Bandit and Friends Series') are very distant cousins to Partridge, and they have only met at family gatherings when they were all younger, and haven't seen each other in years.
