Background: Garfield Logan's life has been shaped by tragedy. His parents died in a boating accident when he was no more than 10 years old. To this day, he still believes he could have prevented this event. After he was saved from two kidnappers that tried to use his powers to help them in their crimes, he was left under the care of his despised guardian, Nicholas Galtry.
Galtry was unhappy that Garfield was alive and plotted to kill the boy in order to claim his inheritance. The various villains he hired to kill young Logan were impeded by the Doom Patrol. His hopes of gaining Garfield's money were finally dashed when Rita and Steve Dayton adopted Garfield.
In his days with the Doom Patrol, Garfield held a romantic relationship with a girl from his high-school named Jillain Jackson. After he saved her from Galtry (who was using the alias "Arsenal"), the relationship dissolved. Beast Boy was the only survivor of the Doom Patrol, a loss which deeply affected him. Since then, they have all returned to life, but this began his habit of making jokes to cover up his fear that those he cares about will die.
Garfield felt insecure and inadequate as a Teen Titan. He hid his insecurity by constantly cracking jokes which even he described as "stale" and humorously flirting with the female members of the team. He even suggested that Raven reformed the Titans just to meet him (something none of the other Titans would ever believe). However, it is a mystery exactly why Raven chose to recruit Garfield into the New Teen Titans.
Logan developed a more serious interest in Tara Markov. He was heartbroken to discover that she was a traitor working for Deathstroke and hated the Teen Titans. Even after her death, he refused to believe for a long time that she was a traitor and blamed Deathstroke for corrupting and using her. However, Logan realized her true colors when it was revealed that she killed King Tawaba. Despite this, he blamed her betrayal on Deathstroke until he disclosed the real details of his relationship with her to him. This added to his fears of losing those he is close to. However, he and Deathstroke parted on peaceful terms after this, and strangely enough over the course of time (specifically during the Titans Hunt and Total Chaos story arcs), even developed a friendship between them. After Terra's betrayal and death, Jill returned to Garfield's life to ease his pain. Unfortunately, the relationship dissolved just as it did before. Jackson's fate remains unknown. Logan also had a short-lived relationship with Flamebird when he led the also short-lived Titans L.A.
Upon returning to the Titans under Vic Stone's leadership, he began flirting with his female teammates again. His flirts became minimal, however, when Raven was revived and rejoined the team. He did, however, flirt with Raven occasionally. In Teen Titans vol. 3, #30, Raven kissed Beast Boy without explanation. It was revealed in the following issue that Raven kissed him because it was "just what she wanted to do". She had been developing feelings for him since her recent rebirth. However, Robin revealed in Teen Titans #34 that the two have broken up, though no reason why was given, and both left the team as a result. Later events revealed that Raven had insitgated her breakup with Garfield only to protect him after discovering a secret danger posed by one of the Titans.
Raven, along with Duela, and Cyborg would later recruit other Titans to help with her mission, leading Beast Boy to finally be reunited with her.
Following the "East Titans" storyline, it is revealed Raven still cares deeply for Garfield, and she attempts to discuss their relationship. Whenever or not she wishes to reunite with Garfield is unclear, but he is reluctant to return her affection, not yet ready to truly deal with their relationship's abrupt conclusion. The two will appear in the latest relaunching, Titans, in April 2008, indicating the two will continue to work together and remain friends, though it remains possible that they could get back together.
Personality : Prankster, Likes to make fun of stuff including himself, Loyal to friends, Friendly, Somewhat of a flirt.
Other: Known to break things... a lot.

Brief Sample Roleplay Beast Boy walked the streets of Jump City, his hands holding the toy that had his eyes captive. His thumbs were moving rapidly, his tounge sticking a little out of his mouth.
The sound of Game Over reached his ears, followed by a loud sigh from Beast Boy. That was the fifth time he had died in the past ten minutes. He turned the game off and stuffed in his pocket, slightly glaring at the ground.
Beast Boy's scowl quickly turned to a smile as he thought about the new game Cyborg had gotten. He rubbed his hands together before taking off for the Tower.
