Charlie Shire

Name
Charlie Shire
Age
Unknown. Mentally and physically young adult.
Gender
Male
Species
Magic Werecat
Occupation
Mainly a cat, otherwise Alice Wonderland's assistant

Appearance
Either a blue-eyed blue mackerel tabby, or an young man with dark gray hair with tabby ears and tail who wears a tabby-pattern suit more often than not.
Personality
Soft-spoken, calm, a gentleman through and through. Enjoys others presence and contact the most, especially being pet. Not very easily distracted, so getting him to play with anything involves the person actually having the intent to do so.
Abilities
Selective tangibility, transparency and transformation.
Situation
Lives with Alice Wonderland. Doesn't even buy his own food.

Appearance

Height
38cm (15") as cat, 1.78m (5'10") as cat man
Body
Medium to light gray medium-length fur with dark gray mackerel tabby patterns. As a human, has fairly light cream skin, slim body and both ears and tail of his cat form.
Face
As a human, has a narrow chin and no facial hair other than eyelashes and comma-shaped eyebrows where they are thin outwards.
Eyes
Ice blue eyes
Hair
Dark gray, neck-length.
Clothes
Often wears a light gray suit with stripes pattern mimicking his fur pattern, with dark gray boots that go halfway to the calf. However he may change his clothes as needed, even going for a purple-magenta combination if he feels like it.

Personality

A Dashing Gentleman - He always appears well mannered and soft-spoken, even if his voice may seem a little on the deep side, always willing to greet and be polite.

The Grinning Beast - He is often seen with a smile, a little hard to see him not smiling, and may come off as a little creepy at times. But doesn't change that he is a friendly fellow, and people think it's cute when he smiles as a cat.

My Mistress, By My Choice - No matter what one tells him, or what happens, he always sees Alice Wonderland as his mistress, because he chose to be with her, and that will never change.


Additional Information
Charlie does not like electronic music much, favoring classic (specially piano or acoustic instruments), not so much when it comes to wind instruments. Surprisingly, he's not easily distracted, always expecting the commitment of the person trying to distract him into playing, and only then he may play with them. Loves being pet and respected as a cat even in his human form.

Abilities

Ability Format
Standard Traits

Advantages
+ Beast Tongue
+ Enhanced Attributes (Speed and Reflexes)
+ Enhanced Senses (Sight and Hearing)
Disadvantages
- Lure (Catnip)
- Under Orders (Alice Wonderland)

Core Advantage
Grinning Joker Beast - Charlie has the ability to selectively detach and control parts of himself within a short range (within six meters from where he actually is), become intangible at will, or change parts or the whole of himself to or from his cat self, which can result in some bizarre situations. This does not however allow him to take on another's aspects, as he must retain his identity, but allows him to change his clothes' at will within seconds. At times he uses this ability to conceal his cat features in human form.

Some changes may be accompanied by strips of him coming off and dispersing into smoke, revealing nothing underneath, as if he was hollow.
Bonus
  • (Initial Bonus) Removed One Disadvantage
Nerfs and Flavor
  • If he talks to a Sleeper while in cat form, they will keep talking to him normally until they realize he is a cat, at which point they are very likely to assume having gone crazy to be talking with a cat, and he will revert to meowing.
  • Enhanced Senses (Sight and Hearing) - Charlie has better attention to small details (be it audio or visual), his eyes adapts quicker to the dark, and a sharp hearing.
  • Lure (Catnip) - He has a hard time resisting catnip if he simply smells it, and if that goes for long his cat side will start taking over until he indulges into consuming catnip.

Current Situation

Occupation
Mainly a cat, otherwise Alice Wonderland's assistant
Housing
Lives with Alice Wonderland.
Wealth
What wealth could a cat possibly have?

History

Date of Birth
Unknown
Place of Birth
Portland, Oregon
  • Charlie was born as a perfectly normal cat in Portland, but precisely when it is unknown. He used to steal food for a living, sneak into people's house to slumber on cold days, and often act like an adorable cat.
  • One very fortunate day, he begged attention from a lucky bunny woman while she was having a snack somewhere, and easily conquered her heart, acknowledging Alice Wonderland as his mistress as she would take him in.
  • Living with Alice was peaceful and rather funny in his eyes, he saw every pathway she made for him, interacted with interesting people, and was loved likewise.
  • When chasing Jenny one night, he accidentally fell into a dark void, ending up in somewhere on Ireland's forests, and slowly a magical power twisted him, changed him.
  • By the time he managed to return to approximately where he belonged, he was no longer just a cat, but a mix of a human and cat, with abilities he had yet to grasp.

Additional Information

Art Credits

Anything Else
  • Alice still knows him as the name she gave him, Cheshire, which then became an informal nickname.
