SIMON BELLAMY || MISFITS [2/?]

[the-betrayer.livejournal.com]

Character: Simon Bellamy
Fandom: Misfits
Character Notes:
History:
Although his age is unknown, it is assumed Simon is in his late teens based on still fitting into the "young offender" category - but he is able to legally drink and by alcohol in the U.K., so he has to be at least 18. His family situation is not known, other than the fact that he has a sister who is 12 years old. His history is only known through the little that he has described, and it is only important to finding how he became the way that he is now.

Simon used to be friends with his next door neighbor. Their friendship was courtesy at its best, and nothing more. The boys grew up, separated, and started to not talk as often. Simon's neighbor decided it would be fun to pick on Simon and tease him daily. Simon is a product of years of bullying and this has put him into the place he's at. Prior to the start of the series, this neighbor of his sent a mass text out to his "friends" and invited people to a party. Simon received one, and thinking he wanted to apologize, showed up. He bought him a drink, and then this guy basically told Simon it was a mistake and meant for another Simon.

Enraged (and filled with alcohol), Simon goes home, but he stops by the neighbors house. He throws a rag covered in gasoline and lights it. Well, the house starts to burn, and Simon hears a cat inside. He realized that the cat wasn't responsible, and takes a piss through the mail slot. Well, the guy's mother comes home to this, and Simon ends up in trouble and put in community service.

Prior to community service, due to his anger and the crime, Simon spent some time in a psychological ward where a girl named Lucy developed an obsession with him. Unable to turn down friendship, Simon was kind to her. He left with a promise of returning and visiting (he never kept this promise).

Simon started Community service with five others. On the first day the storm that changed everything happens. Simon was granted the ability to become Invisible now, as a result of the storm. And the others gain abilities as well. Their parole officer, Tony, also gains an ability. Though he doesn't really live long enough to understand.

One of the five other kids gets killed brutally by their probation worker, and Simon is the first to figure out something is wrong. He discovers his invisibility here when the others of the group don't notice him when he's speaking up about what is wrong. Well, all in all during this community service, their probation worker gets killed. Simon comes up with the plan that allows them to hide the bodies. And permanently.

Throughout the first part of the series, Simon spends his time being mocked by others there. He gains interest in Sally, the new probation worker, and at the same time is chatting with a girl online known as "Shygirl18". He steals one of Tony's credit cards and uses it to book a flight to Spain to keep the cops guessing where the now missing Tony is.

Simon develops a close friendship with her throughout this part of the series, as well as getting a crush on Sally. At one point during the series, "Shygirl18" tells Simon that he should just go for it and ask Sally out. The season ends with Simon figuring out that Sally and their former probation worker, Tony, were engaged. Sally was posing as "Shygirl18" to trick him and figure out what he and the others had done. Simon gets enraged and during everything he kills Sally. He hides her body in the Community center's freezer. Nathan, one of the other ASBO/young offenders, dies after he is rescued by Superhoodie (this is when he makes the first appearance)!
