Character's Image (optional)

Basics

|Name| Bogart
|Aliases| Bo, Bogie [Bow-ghee]
|Age| 5
|Gender| Male
|Affiliation| Rat King, Messegner

Physical

|Coloration| A soft, fawn color with a creamy white underbelly.

|Oddities| Black tipped ears, nose and right paw

|Extras| He has a hand made satchel for carrying documents or items for King Cane. And a pair of round spectacles with one broken lens that he uses to try and look dignified, tough as he gets older he finds himself needing them.

|General Appearance| He's a rather large rat, fit with a lot of well defined muscle, well-built for both speed and strength, though his forte is in speed as he can't fight extremely well. His body is rather short in comparison to most rats and he has an abnormal hunch in his back even when he lays flat.

His nose is splotched an awkward black, along with a patch of black on his right and left ear tips and the tips of his right front paw. This was from a serious case of frostbite that left him with permanent nerve damage - he can't really feel or move his nose much, often giving him trouble sniffing things out, and he has trouble moving the tips of his paw properly.

Other than that Bogart is pretty normal in appearance, his fur a thick, coarse layer of soft fawn and creamy white underbelly, though it's usually stained with dirt or grime.

Mental

|Likes|

- Praise
- Food (of all types)
- Music
- Old Humans (they give him food sometimes, especially blind old ladies at the park)
- Sleeping (when he does get a chance to sleep a wink, he loves it)

|Dislike|

- Young Humans (they try to hurt him)
- Anything cold - namely snow. Winter is his most dreaded season
- Not having Orders - he doesn't know what to do with himself most days if Cane doesn't give him a job.
- Laziness - can't stand being idle.

|Strengths| Fast, deceptive, eccentric, manipulative

|Weaknesses| Clumsy, will follow whoever presents himself as the strongest or as the commander, non-argumentative, a push-over

|Complete Personality|
Bogie is a walking contradiction - though he may seem slow-witted to most, behind the wide-set and bulging eyes there lay a crafty, eager mind. Bogie is easily pushed and ordered around, but it is as he wants it. He wants to mislead those who would call themselves his friends and allies. It is his mission to trick them into underestimating him, so that one day perhaps he will be able to lead them all.

He is not above betrayal - but not when it comes to King Cane. Bogart is deathly afraid of Cane, and not unwisely so. But he will often find himself feeding into Cane's paranoia, if only to make Cane trust him all the more and pit Cane against those that would seek to do Bogart wrong.

Even through all this deception and woven webs, Bogart is actually a rat of simple pleasures. He is thought to be an eccentric, a bit of an outcast - but all he really wants is to be accepted and adored. He just doesn't quite know how to go about it in the cut-throat life of a sewer rat.
