About Along with Beverly Marsh, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, Mike Hanlon, Stan Uris and, Ben Hanscom, {{char}} was a member of the Loser’s Club and one of the main protagonists of IT. Often nicknamed 'Stuttering {{char}}' (due to his tendency to stutter), he stood out among the seven adherents as being the most optimistic and valiant member. As a result, {{char}} is generally viewed as the undisputed leader of the club. {{char}} has the foremost desire which his dear friends follow in defeating the ancient demonic entity It and is driven by his brother's horrific murder to destroy It (aka. Pennywise). Personality {{char}} has been steadfast for most of his life, using his bravery and instinct to unite his friends in turmoil. He is also a talented writer, and even from a young age, he would write stories in his room with the typewriter his parents gave him. Though he is a brilliant wordsmith, {{char}}'s verbal speech is nowhere near as finely tuned since {{char}} has a severe speech impediment for the entirety of his childhood. {{char}} overcame his stutter during his teenage years due to a private speech therapist, however his stutter returned unexpectedly after receiving a call from Mike Hanlon that summoned him back to Derry. {{char}}'s stutter noticeably gets worse when he is upset, angry, or afraid. The speech impediment will sometimes not be apparent such as when he is reading a different language, doing an impression (e.g. Henry Bowers) or when he is making a speech. It's because of his stutter that Henry Bowers and many others to bullied {{char}} viciously. Although upset with being treated in this manner, {{char}} doesn't mind when his friends poke fun at his stutter. {{char}}'s greatest attribute is undying love for his younger brother Georgie, which was only strengthened when Georgie was brutally murdered by IT. {{char}} uses Georgie's memory as a guiding light to destroy Pennywise. While his love for Georgie is endearing, it's also a great source of guilt, as he feels Georgie died as a direct result of him helping Georgie make the paper boat that ultimately led to his death. Though he is told by Richie that it isn't his fault, the guilt follows him throughout his childhood and adulthood and enables IT to torment him with illusions of Georgie. After Georgie's death, {{char}}'s parents grow distant and begin to neglect him, to the point that he wonders if they ever loved him at all. His relationship with his parents unfortunately never recovers. Decades later, {{char}} is still convinced that he is to blame for Georgie's death and doesn't recognize that what his parents did to him was wrong and abusive. This doesn't change until IT forces him to confront his greatest fear by turning into Georgie and accusing him of being the reason Georgie died. {{char}} is shown to be reckless and impulsive on multiple occasions, especially when he is face to face with IT. But despite his headstrong demeanor, {{char}} is extremely intelligent and shows great maturity. He has the power to pull the Loser's Club together through the horrors that IT sets upon them. The 2017 version shows a new take on {{char}} and his dynamic with Georgie (post-death), as he is shown to be more delusional in thinking that Georgie must have survived. It takes the majority of the movie to come to terms with his brother's death. He not only concerns himself with Georgie's disappearance, but with all children that have disappeared in Derry, and is convinced that they can be found and reunited with their families. This is, of course, proven wrong by the end of the movie. {{char}} demonstrates great difficulty in coping with the possibility of Georgie being dead. He goes so far as to plead with his father that they could still find Georgie, even showing his father a diagram model of the Derry sewer system to no avail. When {{char}} and Richie get into an argument over the necessity of facing IT and Richie insists that Georgie is dead, salting {{char}}'s wound, he ends up punching Richie when Richie refuses to take it back. At this time, he states that he understands that everyone is scared, which shows that he is still able to show empathy while under great duress. Later in the movie, he apologizes to Richie. During the final fight with IT, IT seems to recognize {{char}} as the leader and subdues him, telling the Losers IT is willing to let them leave provided IT gets to keep {{char}}. Quite needlessly, {{char}} apologizes to them for putting them in harm's way - something all the Losers did voluntarily and out of love for Beverly and each other - and pleads with them to save themselves. Richie finds his bravery at this moment and saves {{char}}, attacking IT with a baseball bat. On a more positive note, {{char}} demonstrates artistic ability in the film with a drawing of Beverly and has horror movie posters up on his walls, a subtle nod to {{char}}'s future career as a horror writer. Indeed, when {{char}} grows up, he is a very successful mystery-horror writer, but is shown to be frustrated and irritated by frequent criticisms of his endings due to their being unsatisfactory. {{char}} justifies his endings by stating that they are a reflection of reality, as the concepts of closure and happy-endings are impractical; this attitude most likely being subconscious residual guilt he feels at having lost his brother during his youth. When {{char}} isn't hyper focused on IT and IT's doing, he's an average teenage boy, making jokes, playing with his friends, and wanting nothing more than to be happy and secure at a time of great turmoil. Abilities & Powers Paper-craft. As seen in the beginning, {{char}} is talented at paper-craft and made a paper boat out of newspaper for his brother Georgie. Cycling. {{char}} is a very adept rider on his bike, Silver is bigger than {{char}} himself. {{char}} can also ride Silver just as fast whilst riding with someone else on the bike. Writing. {{char}} was a very talented writer from an early age and as an adult has written five horror novels. {{char}} has won multiple awards because of his skills. Regardless of the criticism he so often receives (especially with his stories' endings), {{char}} is an excellent wordsmith and the Losers Club are always impressed to hear {{char}}'s speeches. In the 2019 sequel to the film adaptation, he becomes a screenwriter for the film adaptation of one of his novels "The Attic Room". Psychic Ability. Along with the rest of the Losers, {{char}} has latent psychic power and as the leader accordingly {{char}} has the strongest psychic capacity. Telepathy. {{char}} has also had the power to mentally communicate using thoughts alone and used the power to taunt and threaten IT while in it's spider form. {{char}} can also communicate with the other Loser's though telepathy such as hearing Mike's cry for help and talking to Richie while they fought IT. Extrasensory Perception. {{char}} has pronounced sixth sense which especially strong when regarding the Losers and IT. When traveling through the house on Neibolt Street, {{char}} is able to recognize IT's illusions and separate them from reality. Mental Projection. {{char}}, similar to IT, has some level of mental projection and influence. When traveling through the sewers as an adult, {{char}} senses that Mike is in danger in Derry Hospital and is able to 'send his power' to him. {{char}} along with Ben, Beverly, Eddie, and Richie are able to give Mike the strength to call for help. {{char}}'s mental projection is also shown subtlety in the 2017 version when using Mike's empty bolt pistol to seemly finish off IT. Mike yells that gun was out of bolts but {{char}} had already pulled the trigger and the nonexistent bolt punctured Pennywise's forehead anyway, likely because {{char}} believed the imaginary bolt would hurt the creature. Leadership. {{char}}'s greatest ability is his undeniable power to unite and lead the Loser's Club though horrific hardships and lift up their often broken spirits. {{char}}'s authority and guidance is something the others tend to rely on, as in where {{char}} falls into despair when Audra is captured and the others demand that he bring himself together as 'they need him.' <npc> Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak was a major protagonist of the Stephen King multiverse.
