Full Name: Theolan
*Nick Name(s): Theo
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him
Age: 24
Species: Rat
Appearance: Theo stands a bit on the short side, for a rat, but he makes up for it with a sturdy, muscular build. He has dark brown eyes and earthy brown fur with a cream colored stomach. His blunt, squarish facial features are marred by burn scars that run from his left cheek down to his left elbow. He a lil ugly. He prefers to keep the scars concealed under a hood, even though most abbey-beasts already know about them. It makes him feel less self-conscious, if nothing else.
Personality: Theo’s shoulders are always tensed, his feet always restless. He needs something to keep his mind and paws busy at all times. If no one else is speaking, he may talk to fill the silence. He rarely makes eye contact, because expressions are confusing and being looked at is scary. Instead, he relies on word choice and tone of voice to understand beasts. Spoken language, unlike body language, has clearly defined rules and makes sense. The truth is, he just sometimes can’t grasp social implications, so he may come across as rude at times and be completely oblivious to it. Puns are his favorite kind of joke, because they’re the only kind for which he has a 100% getting-it rate. He’s also a fan of making self-deprecating jokes.
Theo tries to be friendly, though it doesn’t always work as well as he’d like. He gets distracted fairly easily and spends a lot of time in his own head. Still, he’s open to making new friends, and he generally tries to look for the best in beasts. Well, in good beasts, anyway. Vermin are a trickier matter. Although Theo is a rat himself, he’s run with vermin long enough to doubt the capacity for good in beasts like him. And yet, he can occasionally become irritable and defensive over vermin wrongdoings.
It's a complicated issue for him.
Allies: Sorrel Spike, and most abbeybeasts.
Enemies: The vermin bandits he once ran with, though they probably think him dead.
Strengths: Strong, good at fist-fighting.
Weakness: Gullible, sometimes socially oblivious, terrible self-esteem, sensitive to noise.
*Goal: idk
Background: Theo was once a vermin bandit, working under the leadership of an intelligent but morally bankrupt stoat. Theo was born into the lifestyle, but it was a lifestyle he grew to hate. One night, during a raid on an isolated family of hedgehogs, he stood up to his leader, claiming that they had taken it too far, to which the stoat responded by tying him to a support beam and setting the wooden house ablaze. But not before one hedgehog, by the name of Sorrel, escaped. Fortunately, Theo was discovered and rescued by otters, who, upon hearing Sorrel’s testimony, took him to Redwall Abbey for healing. There he stayed, listening to stories and helping anybeast who needed it. He doesn’t know how long they’ll have him, nor how long he can stay before he ultimately betrays them, but he hopes he’ll be hanging around for at least few more seasons.
*Quirks: Afraid of heights. Really in love with the concept of the sea and wants to see it for himself one day. Speaks softly, because he’s sensitive to noise. Very tactile, gotta feel things for them to seem real – hence, unarmed combat. Plus, he thinks lacerations are disgusting. Blunt force trauma is far superior.
*Weapons: Fists
*Other things that may be important: Gay
