Description Made a more updated ref, but I'll still keep this one for their bio
 <-----
UPDATE: Added a bunch of info and a short lame backstory~

------GENERAL INFO-----------------------------------------
NAME: Saif (pronounced 'safe')
AGE: 19
SPECIES: mobian, odd eyed cat
GENDER: Androgyne/Androgynous
PRONOUNS: they/their/them 
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
TEAM: none—speed formation
ALIGNMENT: Hero

------PHYSICAL TRAITS-----------------------------------------
FUR: white, with two patches of black on their face that resemble eyebrows, black markings around their eyes, light pink on the ears
EYES: yellow(right), blue(left) -->due to heterochromia
BUILD: fairly weak, though relatively fast 
HEIGHT: 3'4" (3'2" w/out heels)
WEIGHT: ???
ATTIRE: Classy

------PERSONALITY-----------------------------------------
Saif is very self-confident and generally presents themself in a very pleasant and friendly manner • They can be giddy and often unpredictable once you get to know 'em well enough • They're very empathetic and is always will to talk and be a shoulder to cry on for their friends • They love joking around and laughing at the littlest things but is very mock serious • If people misgender them, they're polite and respectful in addressing the error • Distant and blunt when annoyed •  A bucket of feels •
LIKES:  Fashion, jewelry, making puns, seeing confidence in others, laughing, small children, cool weather, coffee, dancing, laying down the law (when necessary)
DISLIKES:  closed-minded people, hearing puns, hot weather, sad faces

------OTHER INFO-----------------------------------------
POWERS: Illusion Casting
With some limitations, essentially what they can do is cause targets to see, hear, touch, smell, and/or taste things which do not actually exist in the present context.
CAPABILITIES:
• Delusional Illusion: generating illusions without even knowing that one has generated the illusions (tends to happen when Saif is in a daze, others around them may also experience the hallucination)
• Pain Illusion: creating an illusion of pain
• Illusionary Environment: alters the appearance of a setting 
• Phobia exploitation (one-on-one scenario): this is where Saif may end up taking it a little too far; often, tormenting the victim (typically done when someone "deserves it")
LIMITATIONS:
• Anything that resembles physical pain on the target can only be dealt if Saif has also had the experience (e.g. can't create the illusion of death)
• Cannot handle manipulating a large body of people
• Struggles with large scale hallucinations. They can only be achieved while in deep concentration.
WEAPONS: ***Can pull out a gun ((or something that shoots out projectiles at high speeds, i haven't decided what specifically)) the same way Sonic magically pulls out an emerald from behind his back*** The weapon is never loaded; when Saif "shoots" a target, they induce an illusion of pain resulting from a rubber bullet. Consequently, this can backfire as the target comes to the realization that there was no harm done. Thus, the target may or may not become more resistant/aware of other illusions, so Saif doesn't do this often.
SKILLS:
• Poor competence in hand-to-hand combat
• Fast runner and a high jumper


------BACKGROUND:-----------------------------------------
    Coming from a rich background, Saif was born and raised with a lineage of money and prosperity. However, as a child, Saif's family was secluded them from society because they thought them to be lunatic. The real issue was that Saif was unknown to their ability of manipulating illusions; what they would experience in their youth were—often thrilling or nightmare fueled—hallucinations that could have eventually put them in harms way. Growing up, Saif took note of the aptness in their potential to play with other's minds. They'd pull pranks on the maids and trick the nurse into giving them caramel candy instead of cough drops~
    This ability was passed down from Saif's father, who's illusions ultimately caused him to go insane and, not wanting to take it anymore, die by suicide. Saif was only an infant when this occurred, no one realized what this trait was or that it was something that could be controlled. Due to the household's ignorance, they assumed the same fate for Saif when daydreams and nightmares began to dramatically alter their perception of reality. Nowadays, Saif is able to act cool and composed thanks to a sense of control over their power.

(There are a lot of holes in this, I know. This is just the basis of their story and something I needed to get written down. More to come in the future)

Oh maaan. Can't wait for the expansion, then!

Nice background stories are hard to find and create, though I think designing the babes is the most difficult part... 
Do you agree, or maybe you find designing easier than I do? What part of character-creation you find hardest?

dozLopez In reply to Lolcraft98 [2016-04-15 01:15:02 +0000 UTC]

Background stories are definitely more difficult for me, I'd rather spend more time working on the character's design bc its what I enjoy more - plus I hate writing ;;u;;
I haven't made many characters though, only have two at the moment, but that's bc I tend not to keep them if I don't form some sort of connection w them. Does that make sense haha??

Lolcraft98 In reply to dozLopez [2016-04-15 02:26:06 +0000 UTC]

 how dare you mock the art of writing?!?! >:C
...Kidding. I totally get what you mean!  

It sure is tough writing/drawing a character that you don't really care for. It happens a lot to me, too!
But if the design or original concept of the character is considered kinda appealing for me, I tend to recycle them; give them new roles and/or redesign them!

I write more than I draw, so my intentions when I create a character are more plot-related.
They are used to convey a nice story. (and then there's the fan-service buuuut it's kinda inevitable at this point lol)

Since they have a concrete role they need to fulfill, I can't help but get easily attached to them.
It's difficult throwing away something that you really put your thought into, methinks!  

It's a different take on things, I suppose. So you'd consider design being more important than everything else?

dozLopez In reply to Lolcraft98 [2016-04-16 22:36:17 +0000 UTC]

BECAUSE IT'S SO DIFFICULT :'U

But ohh my gosh no, I think both are equally as important. I'd lean just a smidgen more towards writing, actually.
It's just that I happen to be the opposite haha, I draw more than I write. But that's because writing doesn't come as easily to me, so I envy those who use writing as a creative outlet tbh. ToT
Because I stink. :'D

JD-Illustrates [2016-04-11 17:59:13 +0000 UTC]

I know this must be a weird question, but I really have to ask... how, exactly, can one be both genders? Is Saif genderless like a worm or did something happen to it/him/her/them? I don't mean to be rude—I really don't—but I've been pondering this for over an hour now.

If this is somehow offensive, then please ignore it!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

dozLopez In reply to JD-Illustrates [2016-04-11 19:48:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh, no worries! No offense taken. I know it might be kinda confusing maybe if u haven't heard about stuff out of the gender binary before. There was no accident involved and it has nothing to do with worms lol.

There's a lot of variation with gender. But, to sum it up as best as I can, it's what someone personally identifies as, regardless of what genitals they were born with. Maybe you've heard of people who are transgender for instance? 

That said, Saif simply finds themselves to be right in middle of masculine and feminine psychologically. Androgynous can also be used to describe people who look/dress as such. And from personal experience, are often mistaken as a boy and girl by others, or sometimes just left wondering 

I hope that makes sense? If not just ask and I'll try to clear it up some more.

JD-Illustrates In reply to dozLopez [2016-04-11 20:20:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh! Yes, that clear things up. It's a bit embarrassing that I had to ask, but at least I'll know in the future, right? Lol! And no, I wasn't trying to imply that he was a worm; that's just the only instance I've ever heard of where an animal (mobian or otherwise) was BOTH.

But Saif is not both—he just feels like both and chooses to let people guess. Or, at least, that's what I got from that. Am I wrong? (Btw would that mean he goes for either gender, too?)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

dozLopez In reply to JD-Illustrates [2016-04-11 21:18:18 +0000 UTC]

Well I guess Saif is technically both - in the middle if that makes sense. But the thing about having people guess is just a preference of mine, not everyone who's androgyne will do the same.

When people I meet are left kind of confused with me irl, it's something that I find some accomplishment in bc it means I don't necessarily look either/or. But at the same time, I don't really mind if they just assume. Might sound weird lol, but that's why I made Saif the same way~

I appreciate it when people ask though! At least I know they actually took a look at Saif's bio :'D

OOOHHH, so you're that way too? That makes me feel kinda bad for asking so bluntly! To be honest, I guess I kind of assumed you were a girl—but that might just be me. And yeah, I totally love reading character bios! I find it really enjoyable to see what other people have created and how I rank accordingly.

JD-Illustrates In reply to dozLopez [2016-04-14 13:00:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I totally understand. With me, though, it's more often the color scheme of the outfits—freaking green and blue EVERYWHERE. Once I realized it, I stopped, but I still have trouble with deciding on color pallets.

dozLopez In reply to JD-Illustrates [2016-04-15 00:39:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm always worried that the color scheme will look tacky. Looking back at it, my very first sonic oc was AWFUL lol. I still cringe at the thought.

Hello! Pyrode from SonicRPMegalopolis here! Love the character, absolutely ADORE it. It's very well written and the design looks nice(though eye color like that seems like a cliche, to me, I'm not sure if it is or if I'm mixing it up with the Mood Ring eye color thing). 

As I do when I find new, cool looking characters in my Notifications: I give them a "business card" as I'll call it for now. Basically, I let them know if they are interested in RP, there is a chatroom they can go to where they can RP with other great character designs. In the Sonic fandom, they are surprisingly rare, and as part of my job is to get the chatroom's name out to new members it's good to find characters like this. 

We have a character approval system, so just to let you know if you do decide to join, you will need to get your character approved(making minor alterations if it breaks the rules in any way or may effect the RP experience negatively, which we will let you know about. I would personally accept this character, but I need the vote from other admins). We have been kind of strict in the past, but we've been cooling down anyways, and with a character as awesome as this I can't imagine you having any trouble getting accepted. :3

Hope to see ya' there, if you have any questions, just ask me.

Oh wow. Oh my goodness. Haha I feel so honored.
That's very nice of you, I will definitely consider joining!

And yeah it's true, it is pretty typical for characters to have different colored eyes, but there actually is some background on Saif's in particular. It's a real occurrence that is commonly found in white-colored cats. I'd try to explain it but Wikipedia does a better job at it than I do: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd-eyed…

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pyrode In reply to dozLopez [2015-06-10 00:34:20 +0000 UTC]

Yay!
Also, cool... aren't multicolored eyes when natural, a sign of blindness in animals? I believe that's so for dogs(at least, that's to my memory .3.) But now that I have learned this new info., it just adds more to your character. :3

Hope to see you in the chatroom.

dozLopez In reply to pyrode [2015-06-10 00:59:36 +0000 UTC]

I'm not too sure about signs of blindness in dogs, but I know it may be a sign of deafness in cats. Although, that chance is greatly reduced if the cat has even a speck of another color on their coat (in white kitties that is).
Thanks so much, though! I guess I"ll give the chat a try. What is it that I need to do to get the approval from other admins?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pyrode In reply to dozLopez [2015-06-10 01:35:22 +0000 UTC]

To get the approval of other admins, you generally just show up, read the rules while someone is unsilencing you(we had a hacker/spammer a while back, so we had to silence guests), and you then tell us admins about your character.
Since you have a reference to the character anyways, you can just link it to us so we can review it, and reviewing usually doesn't take long. 

Currently we're working on another character and RPing, so if you could pop in about 30 minutes to an hour, that'd be good. :3
