Read more kiddes, if you dare. It's a WIP so expect lots of updates... Sorry... Also I've seemed to select this as my css testing grounds. Just ignore it...
Species: Sloth Bear (might change. Depending on what I feel like)
Friends/Family: None.
Appearance: Like a normal Sloth Bear, but with a floppy muzzle thanks to having no teeth. He has a hole in his nose where his nose ring used to be.
Personality: The bear likes to stroll through the forest. He means no harm to the deer, and he is too slow to catch them. He just walks along, lies down, carries on walking, goes in the Pond. Lies down. He is friendly to most deer however he avoids deer with large antlers. He likes to spend his time eating berries, and on an active day, chasing butterflies and finally snuggling. Sometimes he will chase deer he does not trust a few yards and growl at them, but he is a bear.
Likes:
Water
Berries
Sleeping
Sunny days
Grass
Playing/Calmness
Chasing (though he's not good at it)
Dislikes:
Humans
Dancing
Big antlers
Eating too much
Piercings
Anger
Fights
History: Bear was once a slave to humans. They forced him to dance. They pulled out his teeth. They pushed a hot iron on his nose so they could attach a nose ring . They would pull the rope that was attached to his face, which stung the wound. The only relief was dancing. People cheered when he danced. They cheered and cheered, yet never gave enough money for his food. The bear was hungry, yet he kept on dancing. Dancing in the sun. The people continued cheering, but one day they stopped. No one wanted bear to dance. Bear's owner was angry. Bear was saved. Bear had seen his mother shot. His siblings had been danced to their deaths. He was looked after by kind humans, who took off his nose ring and fed him. He was with other orphaned bears, who had shared his experiences. Bear was lucky compared to the other bears. Most of them suffered from mental trauma, and had faces more disfigured than his own. When he was older, the kind humans released him.
It was a dangerous world, with hunters and other, more agressive, bears. Bear had lost many fights because of his toothless mouth. He travelled the world. He ate berries. He slept in the sun. The bear is now old. He just wants a place to relax. He wandered into the forest and it is now his home. His territory. A place where he can spend the rest of his days.
In-Forest Actions - since he behaves quite differently.
(Thorben's always in character)
Showing affection - If he does this, it means that you have got into the 'good friend to bears' list. Congratz!
Sniffing - he's finding out who you are.
Trotting - This is the fastest speed he can go at for a reasonable amount of time.
Short gallop - He's doing his best, but he can't run very well.
Bellow - When he bellows at someone, it's can be an impolite 'hello' or an aggressive roar. Sometimes he roars for the sake of it.
Bellow + bow - hello/goodbye
Head tilt - When a deer approaches him it means 'who are you?' but it also means plain confusion.
Paw ground - he's signaling you to stay were you are, he'll be back shortly.
Turns around and walks away - You can choose if you follow him or not.
Nodding + shaking head + rearing up - he's trying to be aggressive, but he's 'dancing'. It's a common thing for dancing bears to do.
Roar + show antlers - He either doesn't like you, or trust you.
Continuous nodding + head shaking - Another dancing bear side-effect. He's probably trying to be playful.
Yes, he's the beariest deer in the whole forest He was pretty much OOC while I'm working at getting his set so he danced and everything XD Then I thought I might as well switch to No Eyes. She had a lot of fun
He sounds like the kind of character you just wanna cuddle up next to forever. <3
Btw this makes me think of a song I really like called Monkey & Bear. It's like... 9 minutes long, lol, but it's really awesome and it's about a dancing bear and uhhhh yeah I dunno. <3
He's an old bear, so he doesn't mind a long snuggle. Sometimes he lies down so long that ivy grows on him ;D
Oooh my antlers! That song is amazing!! I just keep listening to it again and again... And it's good because I like long songs anyway! Gosh her voice... I love the name Ursula for bears
Awesome, you liked it!! I'm always a little worried cause a lot of people can't stand the music I listen to, lol. If you liked this, then maybe you'll like the other songs from the same album as well, cause they are likewise awesome. (And all really long, lol. x'3) I actually might have a character in the making inspired by one of those songs. <3
IKR, she is my favorite artist ever!
Yeah, I get that a lot too but my music is different so no one likes it. Though her songs are... so amazingly different... They let my imagination dance to the songs I love how it seems that she's singing poems...
