He is a handsome tom despite his skinny appearance.
(Art done by Me)
Personality: He is a very private tom. Due to his past, a past he has not told or opened up to anyone about, he tends to keep to himself. Gilbert does not like to be in the lime-light and literally cannot handle big crowds. The last time he was around so many, the background noise of all their thoughts and not being able to avoid the casual touches had been too much and he had collapsed. He has since learned from that experience and will go out of his way to be alone.
Gilbert isn't too fond of opening up, like a lot of the other jellicles do. He can barely stomach his past, and doesn't want the others judging him EVEN MORE over what had happened to him. Nor does he want their pity. Quite often he will make up excuses to get away from others, and if he cannot then he is very closed off. He'll make up a lot of crap, just to keep others guessing whether or not he's telling the truth. He's not really a compulsive liar, but a lie is always better then the truth. At least he thinks so.
He doesn't respond well to others pushing him about his day, past, or general private life. He can be snippy, snarky, rude, defensive, and cranky. Anything to keep others at arms length. Well further actually. Gilbert is just too ashamed of himself to let anyone else in. He's independent, since he got the short end of the stick growing up, that's what he has learned. He had to survive on his own, and trusts only himself to do that.
He is a very tormented soul, but having dealt with everything on his own so far, he has displayed incredible stubbornness and a strong-will. He also has a strong sense of survival and would do what it takes. He was handed the short straw in life and is all the stronger for it. Gilbert, is also very cautious with others, even those he might have known for years, in the Jellicle Tribe. He has a policy to never trust anyone and though this has forced him to live a more reclusive life (even since he's begun living with the Jellicles), it has kept him alive, "street"-smart, and on his toes.
History: Gilbert was born to Macavity and an unknown queen. Probably due to a one night stand, or from other means, but Gilbert's mother didn't have a healer when she was giving birth to Gilbert. She successfully gave birth to him and gave him to someone she trusted in Hench Territory. However, she had lost too much blood during her labor and died from the blood loss. Ny'hmm, the tom his mother gave him to had been a decent tom, but he had a crush on Gilbert's mother. He felt Gilbert's birth, despite the fact it wasn't his fault, was the cause of her death and subconsciously blamed him for it. Eventually, Ny'hmm got in deep debt and trouble with Macavity and bartered Gilbert's enslavement for his own freedom.
Ny'hmm was not aware of who Gilbert's father was, and nor was Macavity. After some silver tongued persuasion, Macavity accepted the bribe, though not long afterwards went back on his word to make an example out of Ny'hmm. Gilbert suffered much at the paws of Macavity or others who worked for the ginger tom. However, the first time his power manifested was like a living nightmare for Gilbert. He got to feel and see the atrocities that other hench cats had committed in the past. He knew both sides of how it felt and it made him sick. Also, having never dealt with powers or those particular powers before; he was so conflicted on who he was, that he himself had beat up others in his haze.
Or he believes so, seeing how when he awoke from his incident there was blood all over his paws. Though most of those memories are now submerged into a "box" in the back of his subconscious; he'll still get random flashes of his time as "someone else", hurting and killing in the streets. Usually in his nightmares. So far, he has kept his powers a secret from Macavity and the higher ups loyal to Macavity; fearing they'd somehow exploit his abilities and he'd never escape then. Though escaping the Henches is one of his goals, one of his top priorities, but he doesn't know who to trust and escaping Macavity and his tribe; he'd need help (something that Gilbert doesn't know how to ask for).
Powers: He is a mild telepath. He can read the thoughts and memories of others as if they were his own. However, unless he has his mental shields down he can only read the minds of those within his sight and it takes a good deal of strength from him to focus on that said cat to get inside their head and no one else's that may be around. Sometimes so much strength that he is quite weak afterwards. His other weakness and perhaps his worst one, is physical contact. It's impossible for him to block out thoughts/memories of someone if they are touching him. If it's for too long, he is pretty much rendered immobile. He can't tell what's his past and what's not and is very weak and vulnerable-even days after such an incident. He has also been known to be a bit empathic, however this is more so a side effect of his telepathic powers. As he will feel the emotions behind thoughts and memories as though they were his own. So he does get insight into the behavior of others, but him being so stubborn, and "anti-social"; he never really puts his empathic insights to good use.
RP Sample: Gilbert's paws gripped the paw tight around his throat. He choked, struggling for breath, but it was in vain. His eyes clouded over, as more and more thoughts flooded into his mind, images and memories accompanying them. His claws slowly extracted and dug into the wrist of his assailant. He knew the thrill she was getting, watching him struggling to breath, seeing his life starting to leave his body. He jerked at that thought, fear rushing through him.
It gave him the added adrenaline he needed, the extra strength to pry her paw off of his throat and to stumble backwards; immediately breaking the physical contact. His body convulsed and his head shook. Memories. New ones. Were they his? No....they couldn't be. He fell to the ground, tears freely falling from his eyes. Not even noticing how deeply he had been taking in breaths, or how he was coughing each time.
"Please..." His voice was barely above a whisper and he swallowed a groan from the pain he felt in his throat. "You're...better...than...this-" He winced, when he felt her paw on him once more.
Comments: He could potentially use his powers to aid the Jellicles, but so far he views his abilities as a curse, rather then a great gift.
