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]

Lucia's older brother, Zane, was partially deaf, so she learned at an young age how to sign. She's a bit rusty, but knows more of it. I think they could be pretty good friends, really. Lucia's really bright and friendly and outgoing, and wouldn't even pity Timothy or anything like that. Lucia might have issues with his anger outburst, since she's an empath, but would deal with it. xD

He would need people to be like "hey, your disability is not you. You are not your disability. Move on," and I think Lucia could do that for him. He'd be glad for someone to sign to him, since it's easier to understand that reading lips and such. He doesn't sign, typically, though. He'll likely write everything down. So she'll have to get used to it taking a little bit to have a conversation. But he does try to make it worthwhile talking to him.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: #DDDDDD; border-top: solid #5a5a5a 5px; width: 400px; padding-top: 20; padding-bottom: 30;][classy=quickreply] ALAN & BECCA [/classy] [classy=qr2] TONY: Tony would probably really embarrass himself trying to be friends with Alan. If he can get over accidental slip-ups of the mouth, even though communication would be hard, Tony would want to be his friend. He's very energetic and stuff so he would probably drag Alan all over the place. CRYSS: Derp. I don't see these two hanging out. IfIhadJanetheycouldsigntogetherugh. MICKEY: These two, either. SHER: He and Sher could write to each other in Portugese! She would also probably try to rope him into writing any letters to Fuave (her french girl who is really a guy) for her in French so she could impress him, and then translating it. I think she would be forever grateful for that and in return would probably take up for him in the case of any bullies. MASSY: She would be forever frustrated that she couldn't talk to him, but she wouldn't mind hanging out with him and writing things down for him and all that good stuff. They could be close in an unconventional way, maybe? ANNIE: No interactions here, either. [/classy] |

While he probably wouldn't seek out friends, he probably wants a lot of them, if he was completely honest with himself. Tony has the right personality to try, I think.
CRYSS: omgwhatifwehadjaneandshaneonhere. Pane ALL THE TIME.
MICKEY: Nope.
SHER: That actually sounds perfect. I like the writing to one another in Portuguese, oh man. That takes the cake. It might get on his nerves with her asking him to translate things if she did it too much, unless they were super close. He'd feel like the only reason she wanted to be around him was the language thing, and because of his past dealings with people who only cared because of his power, he'd be touchy about it. So she'd have to be careful.
MASSY: I could see this friendship just being a sort of 'I'm happy to just sit here with you and not talk but just enjoy the fact that I have someone who is there' kind of thing? Communication is a hassle for him and it gets old having to try so hard just because people never shut up and so he'd probably like to just have someone who's willing to be there without needing him to constantly bombard her with conversation, yanno?
ANNIE: That works.

PANE: i like this idea so much oh my god
SHER: She wouldn't be annoying about it. Besides, she would have to get to know him before she even started asking him to do stuff like that. ButseriouslywritingtoeachotherinPortugese. It would make them both feel more comfortable with their respective difficulties and it would be GREAT.
MASSY: Yeah! Massy is good for that. She has trouble with not wanting to be boring and stuff so the fact that he thinks sitting with her in complete silence is great would just omg I cannot. okay. awesome.
