Gender: Male
Age: 17
Size: 3’
Weight: Average

Description:
A young stag with brown primary fur and a lighter shade of brown on his face and belly.  He has two barely grown antlers on his forehead and very bushy black eyebrows.  There’s a black stripe of fur that goes from his nose to the back of his head and ends in a short ponytail of black hair.  His black eyes are very large, but typically calm.  He wears a pair of dark green shorts that are slightly oversized in the legs, but snug around the waist with very large pockets.  Directly above the shorts is a net-like band of material.  He wears no shoes or gloves, and his hands and feet are hoof-like with three “fingers” and two toes.  Around his neck is a necklace with a colorless ring looped around it.

Background:
Hart was born in a small town on the countryside, but was sent to Middletown at an early age to live with his grandparents.  He lived a typical life and made a number of surface level friends, but few deep ones.  On the day that Robotnik’s forces took over Middletown, Hart had been preparing himself to give a mood ring as a gift to a doe that he’d had a very deep crush on.  He was worried about what she’d think, however, so he went for a walk in the forest instead of taking the ring directly to her.  By the time he’d decided to give her the ring, the village was already being captured.  After being spotted by a SWATbot, Hart made a run for it.
He managed to lose the ‘bot in the forest, but he couldn’t stop himself from running.  He finally collapsed at Aquarius lake where he was luckily picked up by the Aquarius Freedom Fighters.  Since then he’s been trying to find a place amongst them while looking for a way to get Middletown back and stop Robotnik for good.  He’s also been trying to pick up swimming, but it’s not going as quickly as he’d like.

Personality:
Despite having undergone the loss of his grandparents and friends, Hart’s managed to replace any anger with a constant thoughtfulness.  He’d always been a peaceful, easy-going creature, and that’s remained true to this day.  He can act quickly when something needs to be done, but he seems to get a lot of enjoyment out of doing nothing but thinking.  Due to this, his patience is like that of a saint, but it also leads to him occasionally getting lost in thought.
He avoids conflict and tries to end arguments before they get out of hand.  He’s aware that the world is at war, though, and he has the willingness to fiercely protect his friends and beliefs.

Abilities:
Herbivorous - This character eats only plants and fruit. If the character eats meat, they will get sick and possibly even die.
“Deer in the Headlights” Syndrome-  When something greatly shocks or intensely frightens him, his first instinct is to freeze for several moments before taking any action of retreat or defense.
Tough Extremities-  His hands and feet, being hoofed, are tougher than usual, allowing him to handle some objects and walk on some surfaces that are too hot, cold, or rough for other characters.
Chess- He can play a mean game of chess, for what it’s worth ;)
Long Winded – He runs at average speed, but can do so for a very long period of time.  He can also hold his breath for a very long period of time, underwater or above.  This is all due to his relaxed nature.
Swimming (novice)- He has a very basic understanding of swimming.

Weapon:
Wooden Staff- About as long as he is tall.  It’s tough, but not suited for breaking heavy metal.
Backpack- Not a weapon, but useful for carrying more weighty equipment that he can’t carry in his arms.  He takes it with him whenever he travels to the surface.
