CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER NAME: Simon Bellamy
SERIES: Misfits
RESERVED: No
WISHLIST: No
PERSONALITY: Simon is a very shy, introverted person with a notable lack of social skills. A misfit among misfits, he makes a distinct effort to make friends and is desperate for some form of company, but goes about it in a way that suggests that he has not had proper social interaction for quite some time, which is very much true. Prior to the series, he spent much of his time being ignored and hid himself in fiction and the internet. It's never explicitly stated, but it's certainly implied that this is in part to escape the loneliness he was plagued with. At first glance, people may write Simon off as a loner, but that's an erroneous judgment. He may be alone, but he longs for friendship as much as he longs for love.
Simon is also a quietly intelligent individual. Though it's not shown what knowledge he has of a scholarly nature (though it's assumed that he has quite a bit), he shows a lot of knowledge from what he's gained of simply watching the world. He's fascinated by everything that goes on around him and therefore manages to soak up information like a sponge. He’s seen video taping anything that catches his eye to the point where he risks his own physical well being. He tends to spout trivia about certain things, mostly television shows he's watched or comics he's read, but he also manages to come up with solutions to tricky problems such as where to hide corpses. He is slow and thoughtful and has a tendency to pay close attention to every word that comes out of someone's mouth. Because of the vulnerable nature I outlined in his weaknesses, it is easy to gain his loyalty, and he is loyal to a fault.
At times, Simon is also a bit of a follower. He goes along with others' plans and jokes if not only to feel part of something bigger. When he feels confident enough to let it show - which isn't often - the sense of humour that shines through is surprisingly barbed.
Not all of Simon is shy and longing, however, as he has an undefined darkness to him. His shaky mannerisms coupled with already snapping to the point of attempting arson, it's clear that he can topple either one way or the other. He's unstable, and there's enough power in him to do some grave deeds. He has elements of a sexual deviant to him, and has an alarming affinity towards stalking, particularly while invisible. He is quietly contemplative most of the time, which means he may unwind all at once at the wrong moment. His insecurities that stem from being ignored all of his life unless it’s for someone to rain merry terror on him follow him day by day, and he suffers from low self-esteem because of it. On top of that, his determination to do one thing or the other enables him to improve any number of his skills. In canon, we see his future self who is bizarrely able to do backflips off of rooftops, apparently through training.
Simon is also very self contained and is seldom surprised. When he smiles, it’s usually a private little smile to himself, and he spends much of his time sitting alone with only the company of his own mind (which he is accustomed to). He is slow to show much emotion, and does not to be anything more than fascinated when coming face to face with the corpse of a colleague. His morals are similarly detached from reality in that he believes that it is justified to steal from a bank and kill a woman in order to keep his close friends safe, though the latter was purely accidental. When it comes to his friends, he also has an alarming lack of self preservation in that he trots happily off to his death to save them multiple times.
TIMELINE: Post season 2 episode 6, but pre-Christmas special.
BACKGROUND: What we know of Simon begins in his experiences with secondary school. He had been friends with his neighbor in middle school, but was promptly abandoned once he entered secondary school, presumably because he was an odd kid and probably didn't do wonders for the other boy's reputation. It is assumed that he was treated to a lower-key sort of bullying in elementary school, but once he arrived in secondary school, he began to be bullied mercilessly. When he wasn’t being outright ignored, he was either treated to physical bullying (deadlegged until he bled) or name calling. Though he reported this to his parents and his teachers, no one did anything. After graduation, the same boy that had bullied and ignored Simon sent him a text inviting him to a club, and Simon went straightaway, underneath the impression that his neighbor wanted to apologize for all the hell he had put him through. As it turned out, he had sent Simon the text by mistake.
Humiliated, Simon got roaringly drunk and decided to burn his house down. After ensuring that his family was out, he dropped tissues drenched in lighter fluid through the letter box with the intention of letting it burn until he saw a cat inside. Underneath the rationale that the cat didn’t bully him at school, he panicked and put the fire out the only way he could think of: pissing through the letterbox. Which was when his neighbor's mother came home. Smooth.
Predictably, she called the cops on him, and Simon got sent to a psychiatric unit for assessment where he met Lucy, a girl in the same unit as him. They formed a connection, and Lucy became obsessed with him. He promised to visit her after he left the unit, but he never did. Again, it is not elaborated what he went through at the psychiatric unit, but it certainly wasn’t good; Simon is two steps away from a complete mental breakdown at the beginning of the series and he swears never to return to the unit.
This is where the series begins, on the first day of Simon's community service where he is accompanied by five other young offenders. They had been painting benches for a total of five minutes before one of the five (Gary) stormed off in a rage and they were caught in a freak lightning/hailstorm where the five of them (including Simon) and their probation worker were struck by lightning. This was when they received their individual powers.
Gary hadn't been caught in the storm having earlier stormed inside and was promptly found and killed by Tony the probation worker, who received the awful power of what can only be described as periods of unstoppable rage accompanied by incoherent violence. After he recovered, he hid Gary's corpse in a locker. When the young offenders (who I will be referring to as "the misfits" from now on despite the fact that they never call themselves this in-show) arrived for their next day, Tony - not in rage mode - took away their cell phones and sent them to the locker rooms where Simon found Gary's bloody cap and was promptly ignored by the rest of the misfits. This was when he discovered his power to turn invisible, albeit unwillingly.
Kelly burst into the community centre where the rest of the misfits were waiting and reported that Tony had gone into rage mode again and now wanted to kill them.
Here's a brief note: One of the misfits is Curtis, and his power is to turn back time whenever he feels regret. As they didn't believe Kelly the first time, Tony burst in and killed her. The second time, however, Curtis turned back time and let the others know that Kelly was telling the truth. They sealed the door against Tony and as they ran - surprise surprise! - found Gary's corpse. Tony finally broke through the door, and Kelly killed him by whacking the back of his head with a paint can. Knowing that no one would believe their story, they decided to clean off the corpses, wheel them off in wheelchairs, and bury them. The next day, the Misfits are questioned by their new probation worker, Sally, and got away with it for the present... aside from one thing: notes in their lockers that implied that someone knew that they had killed their probation worker.
Around this time was when Simon struck up a correspondence with a girl over the internet underneath the pseudonym of "shygirl" who had found him through his youtube channel. He soon grew close to her and confessed his loneliness to her.
Simon found out that builders were planning on digging out the area where they had hid the corpses of Gary and Tony in order to build a structure on top of it. At Simon's prompting, the Misfits dug up the corpses, hid them in the community centre, and reburied them in the construction site once it was finished being dug out in order for the workers to pour concrete over top. Before they reburied them, Simon nicked Tony's wallet in order to purchase a one-way plane ticket with it to make it look as if Tony simply ran away.
Simon then struck up a shaky friendship/romance with their second probation worker, Sally, when she asked about his interests and acted as if she understood him. She actively attempted to win him over which wasn't terribly hard; Simon responded to any measure of kindness with enthusiasm and was immediately besotted. Shygirl advised him to ask her out, and he complied. They went out for a drink, Simon trusted in her enough to tell him about his past, and Sally kissed him in front of those who bullied him. For Simon, life was going pretty swell. Unfortunately for him, it turned out that Sally was Tony's fiancée, and she was only using Simon in order to find out what happened to him. They met up in the community centre, and when Sally sent Simon out of the room to get drinks, Sally took his phone and hid in the washroom only to find video evidence that they had killed Tony. Simon found her with it, and a struggle for the cell phone ensued, in which Simon found out that Sally was also Shygirl. Double whammy! Operating under the hurt of being betrayed and his wish to protect those who he called his friends, he got into a fight with her for his cell phone. During this scuffle, he slammed her head into the door handle, accidentally killing her. Simon, now master corpse-hider... hid her in the freezer in the community centre.
Annnd onto Series 2!
Sally's hidden corpse remained unfound, but another girl entered Simon's life: Lucy, the girl I had mentioned at the beginning of this app who was in the psychiatric unit with Simon. One portion of their community service involved helping those from the psychiatric unit through therapeutic painting. Surprise surprise, Lucy was there! As it turned out, Lucy was affected by the storm as well and turned into a shapeshifter. After thoroughly confusing the misfits through shapeshifting into each other, Lucy came up with the brilliant plan of confessing Sally's murder in Simon's form to the officials so he would return to the psychiatric unit and they would be together forever.
As predicted, Simon was not very fond of this idea. While in the confession booth, he confessed that though he had killed his probation worker and was in the midst of a crisis week after week, he was the happiest he had ever been and was beginning to like himself. Convinced, Lucy complied with Simon’s wishes and let him remain as is. In a display of forgiveness, Simon continued to visit her afterwards.
The next few episodes don't have too much focus on Simon besides the fact that he slowly grew closer to each member of their little group. There's a lot of stuff to do with Simon from the future, but fortunately it doesn't pertain to my application so that means that this doesn't have to be any longer than it is.
Cue the third girl of Simon's life, Jessica. (His love life really does bloom after he dons an ugly orange jumpsuit.) She was helping out at a charity marathon that the misfits were forcibly volunteered for. Both were shy, both were awkward, and Simon fell for her right away. The only problem was that men tended to die around Jessica, and the rest of the group suspected that she was killing them. Two losses of virginity (Simon and Jessica's, of course) and one costume party later, they found out that her father was killing them. Second potential romantic interest lost as Jessica broke up with Simon, citing the reason that it was too strange to go out with someone who put her dad in jail... and too strange to go out with someone who was almost killed by her father.
After that, they completed their community service, which was something Simon had been dreading for quite a while, and were ejected into the real world.
ABILITIES: Due to a freak electrical storm, Simon received the powers of invisibility. At the beginning of the series, he had difficulty controlling this ability and turned invisible every time he felt insecure--in other words, when he felt invisible, he turned invisible. This power is accompanied by a small (and apparently painful) seizure beforehand which can be intense enough to make him fall to the ground. While invisible, others around him cannot hear him, and everything he touches becomes invisible as well. By the end of the series, he's able to harness his abilities a bit more, but is still prone to turning invisible when he doesn't particularly want to. It's revealed that certain drugs will reverse the effects of his power and will make everyone pay attention to him and like what he's doing.
