Character Name: Soundproof
Character Age: 15 Moons
Gender: Tom
Alliance: Riverclan
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: With such large ears, you'd think the tom would be a skilled listener. Of course you would be correct, but it is not the ears he hears with, but rather everything else. Long whiskers, streaming from his face, catching even the slightest vibration of speech. Sharp greens eyes snap to the cause...even such a small nose is useful. Why hear when you can have so many other wonderful things? Scent is of more importance to detecting another's presence anyway, though taste...not so much, aside from strengthening scent - a useful strategy Soundproof lacks. A lithe, light gray body seems not to fit the whiskers. Perhaps the other way around...either way, a long tail accompanies the tom's haunches, most commonly for signals of speech. Most may see sound as an advantage, but for Soundproof, it would only slow him down.
Personality: Soundproof has a very mysterious personality. Though he can not necessarily hear gossip, it is easy to tell if others are talking about you. Ever seen someone glance at you while they speak? Makes you feel like they're talking about you, doesn't it? Soundproof is no different. If you were talking about him, you'd best be assured that he knows, and he isn't happy either. However, this isn't his only trait, and is not to be judged as a whole personality on it's own. Though he prefers not to communicate with younger members of the clan, as they generally did not grow up with him, thus most likely without knowledge of how to communicate with him, aside from brief tail signals. Though, he prefers not to be alone, and will often walk beside those who understand that he is at no disadvantage.
---Likes: Communicating, being treated normally, gatherings, and figuring out what others are saying.
--- Dislikes: Gossip, Hearing, Hunting and being alone.
---Strengths: Focuses more on other senses, sharp eyesight, nimble, long tail and long whiskers.
---Weaknesses: Deaf, Sensitive to gossip, negative and dull taste.
History: Four small paws pounced onto his head-though to him they weren't all that small, prodding his shoulder repeatedly until he finally opened his eyes to glare warily at his brother. They were three moons old already, as gatherings had come and gone quickly. Rolling to his paws, he locked eyes with his brother. "What is it," he growled, licking his paw a single time as his brother flashed him a confused gaze, mewling again. Without even stopping to make sense of it, the pair glanced at their mother. Sleeping peacefully...she wouldn't be woken. But as the two kits slipped out of the den, her ears swiveled forward, and she yowled for them to return. His brother turned, disappointed, even more so than Soundkit who kept his pace out of the den. "Soundkit!" the queen called again, lashing her tail. As at last the kit could feel his mother's concerned gaze on his pelt, he turned, staring emptily into her eyes. "Soundkit come back here at once," she ordered, though her tone was not at all stern. When he didn't react, she gently flicked her tail, sending Soundkit trotting back to the shattered queen. If Soundkit was deaf...how would he ever become a warrior?
