Description Name: Earworm
Gender: Male
Age: ??? (Adolescent)
Species: Shadow Cat
Scent: Burning Dust
Ability: He can play any song he's ever heard on those headphones. If you listen, you'll have what you hear stuck in your head for days.
Personality: Excitable, but easily distracted. Prone to hyperfocus if nothing particularly interesting is happening. Doesn't usually approach others.
Likes: The new and unfamiliar. Unique personalities.
Dislikes: Repetition. Popular radio.
Etc: He's near-deaf (doesn't matter when he's talking to other shadow cats, since they speak telepathically) and usually seems sleep-deprived. He tends to keep his headphones on because otherwise he'll have the same song looping in his head all the time. This does, however, make it even harder for him to hear anything.
His tail is pretty weak, especially toward the tip.
He likes to be held. However, he doesn't really know what to do when being held, so if you pick him up he'll generally either flop like a ragdoll or struggle weakly.
The songs playing on his headphones usually match his mood.

An earworm is a song that gets stuck in your head!
I changed his scent from the original idea because I'm pretty sure most people don't associate fabric with headphones.

I'm sure Earworm would love to meet Crutches, too.
If you still want to RP you should probably go first; I somehow manage to be bad at introducing chatplays. |D

Earworm: Yep! *twitches tail* They don't do anything particularly useful, but...they're musical! Musical and...repetitive, sometimes, I should expand my playlist again. What sort of music do you like?

Crutches: Hmm...ever heard of the song "Wizards in the winter"? I don't know, it may be too boring for you...

Earworm: I'll have to look it up! I can't remember any song ever being too boring for me. I'll be happy to have a new addition to my playlist, too; thanks!
