The other night
I had a dream
There was a world full of kings and queens
But it was cold
Dark as the night
We were the fire on the moonlit skies

We weren't divided
We were the same
And we were free
But we all wore chains
We couldn't see it
But we created
A place between truth and overrated
Username:IBiteBack
Name:Clear
I probably would have gone with something more formal, but I couldn't help it after I read that as one of the chosen names. It just managed to worm its way into my mind and make itself comfortable.
Age:In actuality, he's two days old, but roleplay/story wise, he's going to be at about five years old. Just a little boy, and definitely a daddy's boy.
Thank you PenumbraWolfy!Personality:Soft SpokenClear won't raise his voice, but that does not mean that he will not let you know what he is thinking- he's not good at hiding things from the people around him. It doesn't feel good, and it just seems to leave a bad taste in his mouth when he doesn't share what's on his mind. Now, if it's offensive to someone, he'll try to be as polite as possible because he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. The feelings of those around him have a rather strong affect his feelings, and can easily sway a happy mood into a sad mood.
SensitiveThis beautiful little boy can be hurt easily; by words, by gestures, by actions, there are several ways to end up with this little boy sniffling and trying not to cry because he doesn't want to make a scene. His emotions- be it anger, sadness, or joy- can easily be changed by the emotions coming off of those around him, as mentioned above. On the positive side of this sensitivity, one will not have to worry about him snapping at them or coming off as cold, and Clear is also rather easy to forgive and forget about the little things.
Scaredy CatThis could run along the lines of paranoia, but Clear is actually very easy to scare. Jump scares are what get to him easiest, or if someone hides in a REALLY good hiding spot, only to jump out at him when he walks by. It does have to be a good hiding spot, because Clear is used to people trying to scare him and tries to keep an eye out so that he does not end up embarrassing himself in front of his friends or new people that he is around. When he is successfully scared, he happens to let out a squeal and his natural reaction is to jump and kick things.
SocialistClear NEEDS interaction- he really does. He's got to be in contact with someone, and he can't really just have an imaginary friend to keep him company (although his little dolphin plushie is an easy way to keep him calm and make him feel like he has someone with him, as surprising as it is) because, even though he is creative, he just can't pretend someone is there when they aren't. The reason for this lack of an imaginary friend is unknown, as he will talk and interact with Colby (the stuffed dolphin) like the little dolphin is a real person. It's just some kind of unexplainable behavior, I suppose.
OptimistEven through the scariest, saddest, and darkest situations, Clear always seems to manage keeping a positive look on things. It's an admirable trait to many people, annoying to others, and just another thing that happens to the rest of the people of the world. At this young age, Clear cannot understand just how much of a wonderful gift that is having a positive outlook on life is compared to the rest of the world. Just focusing on the good at this age does make him a little blind to the bad things in the world, but I suppose that will change as he grows.
GenerousIf he is walking down the street and sees someone asking for change, Clear would happily ask his parents for a few quarters, search the ground for any change, and put it all into the person's cup contently. He'd hurt because he couldn't do much more than that, but he would be a little happy that he had done something at all instead of just walking by and ignoring the poor soul like dozens of other people would. One thing that has happened several times is Clear finding a little lost toy, stuffed animal or not, and taking it back home to be cleaned and properly cared for.
ActiveThis little boy is very active, not overly active for his age, but active nonetheless. Some children like to actually put something into their playtime- to put some use into what they are doing as they run, scream, roll, and romp around happily without a care in the world. Clear is actually the type of baby boy that doesn't like to have purpose behind his playing; nine times out of the ten, instead of just running around and scream he will sprint. Sprinting is his favorite physical activity to do, and he will actually just break into a random sprint when out with his friends no matter when or where it is.
Thank you, Firefly!Likes:DolphinsWell, who doesn't enjoy looking at dolphins? Clear loves getting to see a dolphin- especially if it's a dolphin in the wild and not at Sea World, for several reasons going to be mentioned soon. His favorite species of dolphin just so happens to be the Striped dolphins- of which he's gotten a plushie, named Colby. He adores Colby, and has tried to get the stuffed dolphin to bathe with him several times but each attempt has been stopped when "Colby says he doesn't like freshwater"- in other words, whatever parent can see him trying to sneak his toy into the bath uses that excuse to keep it from happening.
The beachIf there is ever something that has brought Clear down into the horrible depths of sadness or even anger, taking him to the beach is the number one way to get him back to his cheerful and relaxed self. Clear loves everything about the beach; from the activities one can do with the sand to the wildlife, and all the way to the ocean. He absolutely adores the ocean, and if he catches anyone actually daring to pollute while at the beach it is as if he's gone into some kind of fact giving frenzy. Clear will list all of the harmful things pollution to the ocean and the beach can do, along with how polluting the ocean in a populated beach is just a horrible thing to do in general.
RainClear actually loves the rain- not the hard rain that takes out the power, knocks tree limbs to the ground, and just scares everyone in general, but the rain that's soft against the roof. He finds it very soothing and falls asleep much easier when it's rain than when it's not. Speaking out of sleep wise, Clear loves the feeling of cold rain on his fur- even if it does weigh him down and he could end up getting sick depending on how cold it was when it rained. He never regrets going out during a rainshower, and the only thing that he doesn't like after a storm is the feeling of mud between his toes.
SeashellsAnother part of going to the beach is Clear's habit of collecting at least two seashells every trip. He won't get ones that look the exact same, but he definitely enjoys seeing all of the different shells. Clear is very fond of a smooth little shell he's given the name of Dipper, and is longing for another seashell that is as smoothe as his precious Dipper. If he is given seashells by his friends, he is perfectly content to keep them even if it means he has three of the same shell- he appreciates sentimental value over diversity of his collection, and one would be surprised by how he manages to remember how he gets each and every seashell.
HuskiesSurprisingly considering his love of the beach and dolphins, Clear actually really loves Siberian huskies- just the huskies, and he likes to think that every husky in the world comes from Siberia. Even if this is a rather amazing and unrealistic thought, he stills manages to keep it in his mind and denies anything anyone says when they politely or rudely try to explain to him that not every husky that ever lived came from Siberia. Alongside Colby, he has a black and white fluffy husky plushie that goes by the name of Magda. Whenever he seems to be having a conversation with Magda, it seems that she is more logical and worrisome than Colby is.
Clouded LeopardsSurprisingly enough compared to his love for huskies and dolphins, which shows by the companions that are his two favored stuffed animals-both of which are always carried with him, even if it is in a backpack- he does not happen to have a clouded leopard plushie. In fact, he doesn't really seem to even want one to add to his two companions, this little baby Bean is perfectly content with just Magda and Colby as his plushie friends. He does like the little clouded leopards, and their muted tan fur, but having a plushie just hasn't become one of his desires yet.
Dislikes:MudOne thing most people don't know from a first glance at Clear is that he dislikes mud. Very strongly; as in, he cannot stand mud in his fur, on his paw pads, or even between his toes. It makes him feel sick to the stomach if mud is between his toes, or very self conscious about how others look at him and what they see that he has mud in his pelt. Sometimes, he can even get too worked up over coming into contact with mud, which can result in him having a little break down where he cries like a newborn because he just does not like mud- not at all.
Thunder and LightningSome people would think that liking rain would also mean that you have to be tolerate to thunder and lightning because usually the three come as a package deal, but that is not the case for Clear. Thunder and lightning do not always come with his beloved rain, and when they do it is worse than getting mud in his pelt or even between his toes. He's terrified of both thunder and lightning, to the point where he starts to tremble and cry hard, and during this state of terror he will cling to anyone that is near- even if he would usually stay away from that person for whatever reason there might be.
SnakesNow, don't get him wrong here for not enjoying the company of snakes, but he's heard enough rumors and seen enough snake bites (seeing the bite of a Fer de Lance at such a young age would be pretty traumatizing for pretty much anyone) to be not like snakes at all. Even if they are not venomous or "too small to bite", he does not want anything to do with them, and it is strongly advised that you keep any snake you might want to hold, have on hand, or have in a container somewhere away from him. Clear does not like snakes, and trying to force him into contact with them will not bring any promising results.
CricketsThis is more along the lines of "Please don't touch me with your little disturbing feet because you creep me out" than anything, Like snakes, except for without really any reason besides this little baby Bean judging a cricket by its appearance, Clear does not want anything to do with these little harmless bugs. Doing such things as picking crickets up and dropping them into his fur or even throwing them at him will not benefit for you, your relationship with him, or your ranking among the rest of his friends. It might make you feel powerful, but there is a strong chance Clear will get upset because of whatever you may do to him.
Sitting StillNo matter where he is, there is always the problem of being expected to keep still as he sits. This is pretty much impossible for this sweet little Bean, since he's so full of energy and always eager to sprint, and there has to be some way for him to move. Whether it's curling and uncurling his tail around something or even flexing his toes, Clear just has to move in some way, shape, or form. He'll apologize if someone calls him on his fidgeting, but it is just a part of this young boy that doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon.
Snails/SlugsWhenever someone stops and asks this little boy about a snail or a slug- even one such as Gary from Spongebob- the response has been and will always be a jumble of an alarmed squeal and "Icky icky icky icky"! Clear does not like the slimy trail either of these creatures tend to leave, and during a bit of playtime with his friends he's gotten the idea that slugs and snails are actually leaches in disguise stuck into his poor, sweet mind. He screams
loudly whenever one of these creatures- be it snail or slug- is brought anywhere near him or within his personal space, which tends to have him crying like the small child he is.
Quirks:I'm Not Sick, I Just Sniffle!There has always been the incident of Clear being a habitual sniffler; he's not unhealthy, but he sniffles and it usually confuses those around him as to if he is sick or not. Some people have even accused him of faking an illness, but Clear will calmly go through explaining that he's always had the habit of sniffling and that he doesn't know how to stop, even if he really wanted to quit being a sniffle. His sniffling actually gets worse when Clear is about to cry and during the period that he cries, in which his habit of sniffling makes it a little difficult for him to breathe properly.
Can't Stop Moving!As mentioned above, this pretty little baby Bean cannot stop moving even if he really, really needed to. Even just a little flexing of his toes non-stop or his tail curling and uncurling will satisfy this need to move- and every time he's been called on it he'll politely apologize and even try to stop moving for a moment or two.....but it always ends the same; with sweet Clear flexing his toes or curling his tail around something innocently. It's not like he's trying to defy anyone by moving constantly, but when he sits still for too long his limbs usually go numb and no one enjoys that feeling.
But Mommy, She's Got a Boo-boo!Probably one of the most adorable but worst of Clear's habits is his strong urge to rescue anything and everything that he thinks might be hurt. From little lady bugs to things such as other Beans- even a full grown adult-, he'll try to rescue anything that he thinks is in need. Sometimes, when he was just a little younger, he would sneak food from his plate to go outside and feed three little stray cats that would constantly go around the neighborhood begging for food by meowing or even pawing at people's doors. Of course he felt bad for them, and he definitely snuck a few breakfast or dinner meats when he could!
I Promise I'm Not Lying!During times of high stress or whenever he is about to get caught for lying, Clear tends to bite the inside of his cheeks. It's not a hard bite that does any damage, but it can occasionally lead to the inside of his cheek staying like it was pinched between his teeth for several hours. Usually by the time he wakes up the next day his cheek is perfectly fine, unless he starts to bite it once again. This usually doesn't happen though, because Clear almost never lies- the only times he'd ever really lie to anyone would be if his friend made him promise to do it.
Fears and Phobias:Astraphobia- Fear of thunder and lightningIf something has the power to actually make the ground
shake, Clear sees no reason to be laughed at for his fear of thunder. Especially when a powerful burst shakes the ground and makes his whole body tense up with dread when it sounds like there's an explosion outside, followed by a bright flash that doesn't light up enough space to make him feel safe about whatever is in the dark. He's not afraid of the dark itself, but what is inside is and usually has a little night light next to his bed to "keep the monsters away". Lightning just doesn't last long enough for him to feel safe when the power goes out.
Monophobia- Fear of being aloneI believe this was mentioned earlier in the trait of Clear being social? Well, his desperate need to be around someone (Colby and Magda being there as the perfect company when, for whatever reason, Clear has to be alone) stems from the fear of actually being completely alone. He cannot stand the thought of keeping everything that's on his mind in his mind without anyone to share it with, especially if he ends up forgetting the thought and he really liked it. That's enough to make him sad for a few minutes before he moves past it and continues on with his life.
Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgottonWhen he gets older, Clear wants to be able to help the world and fix dozens of problems that are over his head. Maybe when he becomes of age, or even in his teen years, he'll be able to go on a few "missions" to help at the animal shelter or maybe even go to help people in another country. All of this, alongside wanting to help other people, does not want to be forgotten as he gets older. Already at this young age, he's realized that so many important people have been forgotten and that's just not what Clear wants for his life.
Relationship with his Family:Daddy UmiClear is a daddy's boy in every essence of the word; he wants his dad to be his best friend, in on his little plans and adventures, and always there to protect him. He loves his father and pays attention to pretty much anything and everything Umi is willing to tell him, since he looks up to his father with complete respect and total admiration. If anyone asks him who his hero is and who he wants to grow up to be like, he'll gladly answer that he wants to be like his daddy. Like I said before, this little child is a daddy's boy at heart.
Mommy LyricHis relationship with Lyric isn't exactly the same complete devotion and admiration as it is with Umi, but Clear has the same amount of respect for his mother as he does for his father. He'll happily cuddle up to her when he's ready to go to bed, or even when he just wants to be affectionate, but Umi is probably the first parent he goes to when he wants affection. Clear will not tolerate any Bean, no matter what age or size compared to him, talking badly about his mother, because she is his mommy and he will try to defend her with everything he has in his little body.
Funny Uncle Tazer BeamUncle Tazer Beam is a little.....odd, to Clear. Not in any type of a bad way, but in a way that makes the baby of the family curious and shy around him. He likes to watch Tazer Beam to see what he'll do, but he likes to keep his distance when he is following his uncle- it's definitely given him plenty of time to practice being as stealthy as he possibly can to keep himself from being discovered. Which is something that anyone can appreciate, because he'll need those skills of not being found when he's up and about as a teenager, sneaking into the kitchen for snacks in the middle of the night.
Big Brother HatoriIt might just be the piercings that slightly put Clear off at the moment, but he gets a little uneasy whenever he is alone around his big brother, Hatori. He hasn't even been given a real reason to be afraid or uncomfortable around his sibling, but it seems to be that vibe you get from that one family member at the reunion that shows up on a motorcycle with a bit of a smug smirk and stories that his little nieces, nephews, and cousins aren't aloud to listen to for fear of learning about things that they aren't ready for. Hatori probably really isn't like that, but Clear just can't shake his wariness of his big sibling yet.
Uncle ColbyUncle Colby is probably one of his favorite uncles out there- and not just because of his appearance, but because of the easily approachable air around him, if you couldn't tell when you read that this little baby Bean has a stuffed dolphin plushie named after his uncle. Clear wants to develop a better bond with his colorful elder, and he doesn't feel as intimidated when he sees Hatori and Colby together. One of his favorite accessories that his uncle has are those very fashionable goggles, and Clear definitely wouldn't mind asking Colby where he got them so that he could get a pair for himself.
ZacHis nephew Zac is actually older than him- which, once again, is a reminder that Clear is the baby of the family, even to the children of his siblings. Clear doesn't seem to mind his niece and nephew being older than he is, he just wants to be able to get a friendship going on with his older niece and nephew. If this was ever asked of him, Clear would happily tell anyone who asked him that he found his cousin pretty, and his sense of style with that scarf around his neck was probably one of his favorite accessories in the family.
Best Brother JaceJace is actually his favorite out of all of his siblings- probably because he looks less intimidating if you gathered all of his siblings and got them into a line of oldest to youngest with Clear being excluded (not that many siblings, but still). Maybe it's just the kindness this little baby Bean sees in one of his oldest brother's eyes, or just the easy to approach air that Jace tends to give off around the family. If his mother and fathers aren't home but Jace is babysitting for whatever reason, he can definitely expect a pretty little ball of fluff eager to play and cuddle with him!
Uncle FinnUncle Finn is about the same as big brother Hatori; intimidating by his piercings. Although Uncle Finn looks pretty nice and inviting, poor little Clear is just too scared around him to approach. He gets nervous when he sees those piercings and the reason for this anxiety around the pierced family members is completely unknown to him and to anyone else in the family. Clear likes Finn, but he won't just walk up to his uncle by himself- not even when he has Magda and Colby at his sides to keep him company and make him feel a little better about it.
Niece RemiHis relationship with his first niece isn't exactly the closest- especially when compared to his relationship with his best friend, Tempest, but there is the beginning of a bond that resembles two cousin of close age- only, with Remi being his nice and older than him. Clear's pretty content with it being the way it is, since he doesn't see his niece that often, but if he was told to get closer to Remi, he'd put an effort to be her friend in. Maybe someday soon, when he's older, he'll see the wonderful personality that his older niece and he'll be able to get a little bit of a closer bond with her.
Brother SylvesterClear has yet to actually form a bond with the second youngest of his older siblings, but it is on his little messy to do list. He wants to be connected with Sylvester like he is to Umi, but not to such an admiration filled degree. This sweet baby Bean wants to be able to have that "You're my big brother, I can go to you for anything and everything" relationship that many siblings have. He knows that, if he tries hard enough, he can get to that point with Sylvester and that thought makes him grin like an adorable fool.
Sister CalamityHis sister Calamity is certainly a confusing girl. She's supposed to be older than him.....but her appearance suggests that they are around the same age or maybe a few weeks apart. It doesn't make sense to Clear, but he doesn't ask about it and keeps to himself whenever he is in the presence of his only sister. He's so confused about the age difference and whatnot that he doesn't understand how he's supposed to act around his sweet sister, so he usually stays away from her and tries to make it look like he isn't purposefully avoiding her- but that's tougher than it sounds.
Friends:Tempest- owned by [Fail In Love]Tempest, the baby with the bad eyesight, is actually Clear's first and closest friend. They both have stuffed animal companions, and Tempest seems to manage to tolerate how clingy the silver and white Bean baby can be at times- which is good, because it makes Clear happy to be able to have a friend. Clear doesn't seem to really understand the seriousness of Tempest's bad eyesight, but he doesn't let the big words and the somewhat obvious meanings distract him from what is important in a great friendship; having a friend to tell all your secrets to and go on an adventure with!
Trenzalore- owned by AustriagirlTrenzalore is a very unique baby to begin with, and just adding on to this fascination is his choice of accessories. Clear doesn't mind it really- he likes that Trenzalore is different and shows it by picking different types of things to wear. Though, he has noticed a two of his first two friends wear glasses and he doesn't. While he wants to be part of the "glasses club" he understands that he doesn't need them, and just having his friends there to talk to and play with make up for the fact that he doesn't wear glasses like they do.
Clavin- owned by winter.sunsetThis is the one friend that might make parents a little worried when Clear says he's going out to play with him. Calvin is a known trouble maker with the deadly combination of a sweet face that would make anyone question just who they were talking about when his name escaped. Clear doesn't seem to mind that Calvin is a mischievous boy, but he's usually that little voice urging to be careful and hinting that maybe whatever they're up to isn't the best idea for either of them or who's going to be affected by what they're planning on doing.
Jayford- owned by .Missy.Jayford is definitely one of the prettiest boys on Clear's friend group, and there are occasions where Clear will make a joke about trading hair with him so that he could have that adorable hairstyle- but in the end, this little baby Bean loves his hair because it just makes him look more like his beloved daddy, which is something that is always welcomed. He likes to hang around with Jayford- of course he does, because they're friends- and usually he'll try to be a little less active around the other, older baby Bean boy, but why he wants to be a little less active around Jayford is unknown.
