Character
Name: Egon Spengler
Series: Ghostbusters
Timeline: After Ghostbusters II
Canon Resource Links: https://ghostbusters.fandom.com/wiki/Egon_Spengler
Personality:
Dr. Egon Spengler is considered the brains of the Ghostbusters, and for a good reason. He holds a PhD in parapsychology as well as numerous other doctorates. Upon first glance, Egon seems like a stiff, serious scientist, and his general social ineptitude and quiet nature doesn’t help with that image. However, upon further interaction, one will find that Egon has an incredibly dry sense of humor and uses this image to his advantage, cracking deadpan jokes and making subtle digs against other people. He also has a tendency to take his research too far, subjecting either himself or other people to dangerous and/or stressful situations for the sake of pursuing more knowledge.
Highly intelligent and curious about the unnatural world, Egon was the one who helped engineer the equipment for the Ghostbusters, such as their proton packs and the ghost containment unit. Egon also takes his research particularly seriously, and he takes every opportunity to study the strange and the unknown, even if some of his leads are actually fabricated and not the result of actual paranormal activity. However, his constant pursuit of more knowledge can sometimes mean that he...doesn’t put that many restraints on what he won’t do for the sake of further research. Of course, he doesn’t do anything immoral--no experimenting on children in a way that puts them through undue stress, no harming or killing animals--but he would’ve drilled a hole through his own head if Venkman hadn’t stopped him that one time. Also, to test the effects of human emotions on the environment around them, he once put a couple in a room under the impression that they were there for marriage counseling and watched as they argued for hours while he gradually raised the temperature of the waiting room.
Let's not even get into the slime experiments right now.
As a result of his dedication to science, Egon tends to come off as rather serious and reserved. Heck, we’re talking about a guy who said he collects spores, molds, and fungus as a hobby. But this is merely because he has some difficulty navigating everyday conversations as well as articulating his emotions concisely. When he talks about a subject he’s interested in, such as ghosts or quantum physics, usually only Ray can understand what he’s saying without any need for translation. He speaks in a very dry and straightforward manner and often offers his opinions quite bluntly, no matter what the other person may think. This doesn’t mean that Egon is entirely emotionless--in fact, it is shown that Egon has a dry sense of humor that only people who have spent a lot of time with him tend to pick up. These incidents are rare and scattered, and he tends to joke more around people he’s comfortable with talking to. Additionally, Egon is not immune to anger, having lashed out against Walter Pack after repeatedly warning him about the dangers of turning off the containment unit grid and Peck still going through with it.
He also really, really likes snacking. He’s seen frequently throughout the films munching on Twinkies, Cheez-Its, Crunch bars, so on and so forth. It’s probably necessary to give him the energy to do all his research, given that he once implied that he only sleeps for 14 minutes a day. Get this boy a snack.

Victory Road Sample:
[The video feed adjusts and focused on a stoic, bespectacled individual with tall hair. In the background, one can see a small Phantump chewing on a bag of Dodritos. Not the chips--the actual bag. The man appears to be in a cave of some sort, and the feed keeps getting distorted occasionally.]
Testing, one, two, three. [The man clears his throat, adjusting his glasses.] This is Dr. Egon Spengler, Field Log A-113. I have just entered the Ruins of Alph with the ghost Pokémon I have named Faraday.
[The Phantump looks up and chirps at the sound of its name. Egon continues, turning the camera to a nearby wall with a cluster of Unown, their eyes staring unblinkingly towards the man before them.]
These Pokémon seem to resemble rudimentary letters of the alphabet for most western European languages, including English. If these Unown have existed long before humans emerged in this world, this may point to more evidence of Pokémon heavily influencing the development of human civilization. However, given the existence of “artificial” Pokémon, or Pokémon created by humans, there is also the slim possibility that early humankind somehow created these Pokémon after a pre-existing writing system and--
[The Unown suddenly begin to shift on the wall, rearranging themselves rapidly. Egon flinches back before creeping closer to the Pokémon.]
I believe they are trying to communicate with me, hold on--
[The Unown stop moving, and it’s clear that they spell out the word “BUTTS”. Egon pauses, staring at them. He says in an incredibly dry tone--]
They seem to have also developed an immature sense of humor.
