His birth name is Timothy, but he goes by Alan because it's shorter and it's thus easier to write or sign. This is important because he's totally deaf. He's never heard anything. This has necessitated his ability to read lips and recognize vibrations. Reading and signing come easy to him, being omni-lingual, but he doesn't like using sign language because it makes him feel stupid. He can speak wonderfully, but he doesn't like to because he can't hear what he's saying. FRIENDS Alan doesn't typically play well with others. It's a hassle to take the time to try to understand what they're saying if they don't know how to sign, because he has to read their lips and occasionally touch their throat to feel the vibrations there. He finds it easier to just stay away, but he doesn't want to be completely alone. His friends have to be able to deal with his occasional anger outbursts and they have to be patient to overcome the communication barrier. ENEMIES I don't see him having many, unless they're making fun of him for things he can't help. He usually just ignores this anyway, so enemies probably aren't a big thing. LOVERS Alan's attracted to guys, but he isn't really experienced in the relationship field. It'd be cute to have an adorable little love story for him. Drama in this area would also be awesome. Yeah. There's not much to say here, which is why I took so long in making one of these for him. Anyway, if any of you are more inspired than me, be sure to share~ [/classy] |
