Bio[edit | edit source]
A seventeen-year-old youth from the urban jungle known as Tokyo-to; Beat has three hobbies: Music, spraying, and praying. Look - we're obviously lying about him attending church, but ever since he became a Rudie by joining The GG's, Beat and his roller-skate feet put some downright religious devotion into tagging the whole neighborhood. And those next door, while he was at it.
This naturally led to certain conflicts the surrounding rival gangs and made Beat the public enemy of the local police state. The latter's use of everything from live ammunition to tanks and attack helicopters to get rid of Beat and his gang might seem slightly overkill, but then again, he's set up against a some government mook who wants to ban all forms of free expression by summoning a literal demon.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Beat appeared in 8chanmania LXXV. His anarchist streak put him at immediately odds with the authoritarian X; but being used to battles he could quickly skate away from, Beat ended up taking a proverbial beating.
