Enemy (Rick Steiner)
Prejudice (Living Doll)- Obviously he can't pass for human- Obviously.
Relationship (Family)- Chucky has a real love-hate relationship with Tiffany, who tends to be the lesser of two evils. I mean he loves her, but damn if she doesn't grate on him at times. His relationship with Glen/Glenda is much better by comparison. He loves trying to teach Glen to kill and is awestruck at his ability to do so....though Glen is only inadvertently causing death as he's really very sweet and peaceful. When glen finally does snap and is the one to take his pop down what does Chucky do? Smiles and says “THAT A BOY SON! THAT A BOY!”
Motivation ("I Gotta Get Out Of This Body"...or not)- So yeah, Chucky is determined to get into a nice new body....at least until Seed of Chucky when writer/director Don Mancini figured it was time to crap or get off the pot. Chucky has a lucid moment and realizes that as a human, you get sick, you get old, you die but as a killer doll? He's infamous!
Responsibility (Unfinished Business)- Chucky racks up a lot of it..he always goes back to take care of people and things from his past.
Curse Of Chucky was even about him knocking off members of a family he had begun on when he was still human. And he even tried to go back and take care of a now adult Andy.....though when he climbed out of the box he had mailed himself in Chucky found himself looking into the barrel of a shotgun. “Andy! NOOO!”.
Motivation (The Heart of Damballah)- This trinket can get you into a new body guaranteed.
Weakness (Predictability)- These guys cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, they will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to their Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.
Total: Abilities: 48 / Skills: 28--14 / Advantages: 9 + 10 / Powers: 38 / Defenses: 12 (131)

HalloweenJack's Notes:
-Chucky is sort of the anti-trope here. See after rewatching it for the first time in years....the first movie isn't all that good. It's your typical killer doll movie with a serial killer swapping his soul into a lifeless form (
Devil Doll did this over 20 years earlier), and despite being a modest success MGM dropped the rights to the franchise to Universal pretty quickly. That's where things get interesting.
-Anywho, Chucky is Charles Lee Ray (played by Brad Douriff), a Chicago serial killer who's just been mortally wounded by a cop (Chris 'Prince Humperdink' Sarandon). Realizing he's dying, and being a practitioner of Voodoo, Charles here realizes that if he doesn't transfer his soul into another body soon he's sunk. The only thing he can find in the store where he's taken refuge to fit the bill is that Christmas's hottest toy....The Good Guy doll (think an amalgamation of My Buddy, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Teddy Ruxpin). Charles, or Chucky, gets his soul in there and soon ends up in the possession of little Andy Barclay. Shenanigans are afoot.
-It's a sweet deal for Chucky at first, but after a while he starts to notice he's feeling pain again. After consulting with his old mentor he finds that the longer he's in that doll's body the more difficult it will be to get his soul back out, and after a while he won't be able to, period. Added to that wrinkle is that Chucky can only transfer his soul into the body of the first person he told who he really was to. That being Andy. Shenanigans.
-That said the sequel with Chucky after Andy while he's in foster care isn't that bad, even ending with Chucky having been in the doll's body too long to do the transfer and just going totes mental when he finds out. He's stopped but of course comes back in the third with a new body.....wherein he tries again to get his soul into Andy (now a teenager) but decides to instead try and insert himself in a younger boy named Tyler (ew) on the assumption that this being a new body means that when he tells Tyler his identity he can just get in there. An assertion that is never proven by the way. These two movies were a step forward and then a sad step back.
-By the time of Bride of Chucky, things start to get fun....sort of devolving into an irreverent parody of itself with the occasional heartfelt moment. See Chucky's ex Tiffany (played by my number one celeb I'd love to, and have permission from the wife, to do Jennifer Tilly) is obsessed with the doll murders and resurrects Chucky on the assumption that he was going to propose to her before he died. Turns out the ring she had found was just a stolen item he was going to fence. They turn on one another and Chucky ends up killing Tiffany and transferring her soul into another doll. Now needing an escape from their plastic prisons, Chucky brings up the Heart of Damballah...a mystical McGuffin he was buried with that can put their souls into a pair of new bodies without that pesky secret loophole. Problem is it's buried with his body. But hey, they've found a nice pair of crazy kids who they'd hate to split up if you get my meaning and they can just rope them to Chucky's grave...voila.
-This movie actually has moments where you forget you're watching a pair of animatronic dolls and you start to really get them as characters. For example, when those crazy kids are getting married in an all night chapel, Chucky and Tiffany are sitting in a van with Tiffany sighing. I'm going to paraphrase but it's mostly accurate.
Tiffany: You know...when I was a little girl I always wanted to get married and have a big spread in the paper. Everyone dressed up and looking nice, not your usual mugshot.
Chucky: ….Tiff....I...uh....I want you to know that....I'm sorry. For everything.
Tiffany (smiling): Oh it's okay. I always wanted to travel. And I mean....look at us now!
(Both of them start to laugh at the ridiculousness of their situation)
-Tiffany even does a bit of a face turn later when she realizes that Jesse and Jade (those wacky kids) are truly meant to be together and though she and Chucky are in love....well it's never going to be an ideal situation.
-
Seed of Chucky takes it a step further with the two resurrected in Hollywood, tending to their child (voiced by Billy Boyd) and deciding to insert their souls into rapper Redman and...get this....Jennifer Tilly the actress!
Tiffany: Oh I love her! She's such a great actress!
Chucky: Yeah, but that VOICE!
Tiffany: I know! She sounds just like an ANGEL!
-It's made all the more amusing by Tilly, who was going to sleep with Redman to get the part of the Virgin Mary in a movie, being surprised by Tiffany and later brushing it off as a dream where her guardian angel appeared to her warning her not to do it! That and there are so many Hollywood references it's crazy. Even references to Bound. Tilly's agent is calling her as Chucky is restraining Tilly and Tiffany is on the phone acting like Tilly (“Jennifer? Are you screaming?” “Oh no...Bound is on and it's that scene where Gina Gershon is fingering me.”).
-And there's the fact that their child has a split personality...the good male side being named Glen and the evil female side being....Glenda.
Glen: But....dad....the TV says that violence is bad.
Chucky: No NONONONO son.....VIOLINS are bad. VIOLINS. That damn screeching music is going to ruin the whole country!
Yeah I've gushed. I'd say those two are guilty pleasure movies....but I don't feel guilty.
Curse of Chucky is a more straight laced return to horror, but still is pretty decent. And as of this writing the Chucky series is the only one of these franchises still pumping out movies with Cult of Chucky coming this fall.
As for Chucky himself....he's got average intelligence, though he does know his Voodoo lore really well and can do the soul switcheroo and even used a voodoo doll to kill a guy ONCE. He's not very strong but he's sneaky and prone to taking someone off guard. He's good at it too, especially when paired with Tiffany. They just have a knack. And he's got some pretty awesome damage soak too, taking all sorts of damage as the movies go on. And if it all goes to pot, he can just go into Barbie Mode and play possum.
Jab's Notes: This got a lot of play among kids my age in the '80s, but I always mixed it up with
Problem Child, which I think was about... problem children. These were the classic "Bad Movies" I wasn't supposed to watch, and I never did. Wrestling fans find the character infamous largely because of the INSANE angle WCW ran where Chucky (like... the actual evil doll from the movie) taunted Rick Steiner on-screen, which is only marginally less-stupid than the time F*CKING ROBOCOP came out to aid Sting against the Four Horsemen.
-I mainly remember it now because they added the Jennifer Tilly puppet, and I only remember her because of that scene in "Bound", because HOLY GOD. That's like the Holy Grail of movie nude scenes, and it's like 15 seconds of nudity, tops. Yet I dunno if any sex scene, hardcore or otherwise, can match it. Seriously, put the hottest porn ever on next to a clip of this running on a loop 97 times, and I say it's even at worst.
-For his stats, I made him the smallest, weakest, but most accurate, member of the cast. I left out the "Shrinking" he'd probably need, because I find that annoying to deal with for something that isn't really a major "Power", per se- it's just a descriptor and something that makes him stand out.
-Statistically, he is one of the characters most-changed between the movies and the game- Movie Chucky would stand no chance against Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers- in the game, he's upgraded into the Fast Guy.
