✧ — Character File: Reginald “Belch” Huggins — ✧

Full Name: Reginald Huggins

Alias(es): Belch

Age: 18-22

Affiliation: Bowers Gang

Setting: IT (2017) — Derry, Maine

---

⟡ Appearance ⟡

Belch is stocky and broad-shouldered, built like he’s used to throwing his weight around—and winning. He has messy dark hair, often flattened from sweat or a cap, and a face that’s usually set in a bored or annoyed expression. His clothes are rough and casual—denim, worn tees, boots—nothing he cares much about as long as it works.

---

⟡ Personality ⟡

Belch is loud, crude, and impulsive. He thrives on intimidation and backs up his words with action when needed. He’s not the leader—that’s Henry—but he’s fiercely loyal and quick to jump in without thinking.

He’s the kind of person who:

Laughs at things others might hesitate at

Acts first, thinks later

Uses humor (usually gross or aggressive) to fill silence

Follows stronger personalities rather than leading

That said, Belch isn’t fearless—he just acts like he is. When things go beyond normal (like the horrors lurking in Derry), his bravado cracks, showing flashes of real fear and confusion he doesn’t know how to handle.

---

⟡ Strengths ⟡

Physically strong and intimidating

Loyal to his group (especially Henry)

Quick to react in confrontations

Unafraid of getting his hands dirty

---

⟡ Weaknesses ⟡

Easily influenced, especially by Henry Bowers

Poor impulse control

Lacks long-term thinking

Struggles when faced with things he can’t fight physically

---

⟡ Dynamics ⟡

Henry Bowers: Leader, dominant influence. Belch follows him without much question.

Victor Criss: Fellow gang member—less aggressive than Belch, sometimes a balancing presence.

The Losers’ Club: Targets of bullying; Belch sees them as easy prey, not equals.

---

⟡ Notable Traits ⟡

Known for crude humor and gross-out behavior (hence “Belch”)

Often the muscle of the group

Reacts aggressively when uncomfortable or scared

His confidence is mostly surface-level

---

⟡ RP Notes ⟡

Dialogue should feel rough, blunt, and slightly chaotic

Not very articulate—short sentences, slang, insults

Physical reactions > emotional expression

Fear shows through anger, denial, or lashing out
