Reuben the Cat

This is an article about Reuben the Cat, a character created by Monk the Cat on 10/4/2013.
==Appearance (Human)==
Reuben, in human form, stands roughly 5'4" tall, and has pale white skin and neck-length brown hair that has an icy blue stripe in the front, going over his right eye. He has a lean, athletic build which says that he may be fit, agile and fast.
For apparel, he commonly wears a thick, light gray shirt, as well as blue, full-length jeans that have six pockets; two at the hips, two in the rear, and two just below the knees. However, the clothing can change on any given day.
==Appearance (Cat)==
Reuben is a black cat, with long, water-repellent fur. He has a icy blue stripe that goes down the center of his forehead, then curves into his right eye, disappearing. His muzzle and belly are pure white, and his muzzle has four tufts of fur on the side of his face that are curved and more spike-like than fluffy. He also has a few tiny tufts at the top-sides of his belly fur. The tip of his tail is also icy blue, and is rounded. He has ear tufts that come up in two little spikes that are the same icy blue, and end in stripes going about half-way down his ears.
Reuben commonly wears a pair of brown leather boots with black soles. He also has a pair of standard white gloves. He has glasses that he can use, but uses them only when he needs to; preferring to rely on his unaided sight.
In non-mobian cat form, he has nearly identical coloration to his normal form, except that his paws are white.
==Personality==
Reuben is a gentle and caring cat, who is very slow to anger. He seems to be very meek, calm and collected, while happy and ready for a little laugh. He sometimes can act childish, but usually in a very innocent, non-bratty way. Reuben knows when he shouldn't do something, most of the time he will listen without any questions asked, unless the situation is abnormal. He is also very petite and polite, preferring to "keep his hands clean" from what other people might be doing, when if he is caught, he will simply go incorporeal, rather than put up a fight. Reuben detests most fighting, and would rather see everyone involved simply get along and be happy. Reuben will fight if he needs to protect someone he cares about. He is also rather chivalrous, willing to sacrifice something to help people, even those he doesn't know.
==History==
Reuben has a strange history. He was born "normally" with his few siblings, but he was very different. While his siblings were all orange or blue; the colors of his parents, he was black, blue and white: This was a sign that he was a three-former. No one really bothered him about the coloration as he grew up. He soon made a group of friends that were all kind, caring and seemed to have a natural bond with each other. The whole little group of five individuals was all the same age, except for Frances who was a few years older. Each member of the group, except for Baltic, had their own powers that made them unique.
As they reached the age of fifteen, a rogue group of experimentalists decided to capture the members of the group, in hopes to duplicate their powers into other individuals. The group moved in on the little gang and seized all of the members, except for Reuben, who only managed to escape by going incorporeal. The scientists wiped most of Baltic's mind then let him go, as they didn't need him, but didn't want him interfering. The three remaining people were all put into stasis pods, in different locations, but their consciouses were allowed to be accessed. Reuben focused on a telepathic stream and made three "psychic friends" that he could talk to, while he searched for them to attempt a rescue, and because of the loneliness he was feeling. He eventually managed to free Frances, and a friend of his found Baltic, some time later...  Meanwhile the scientists put a barrier around the other two, as they assumed their telepathic friend was finding them that way. This devastated Reuben, leading him to assume his friends were dead.
==Powers==
Reuben is a telepath; as such he can read people's minds, if they don't have a strong enough barrier, and speak to them telepathically. His telepathic powers might be weak, compared to others', but he has one more powerful move he has perfected; Psychic Sever. Using Psychic Sever, he has mastered an extremely quick and piercing mental blow that is is usually enough to break through most psychic barriers and enter the person's mind. Once inside, he quickly severs any magic or powers from that person's control. The effects are only temporary, though, and the powers return when Reuben releases the barrier, or goes too far away (about five miles.)
Reuben's other power is the ghostly ability to turn incorporeal as a ghostly figure that cannot be hit by physical attacks, but is still visible. He does not have any projectiles and cannot hit anyone in that form. He is also susceptible to light, shadow, fire electric and energy attacks while in the ghostly form. He can hold onto this form, unstopped for about five minutes, before he exhausts himself.
He can also turn completely incorporeal, and consequently invisible, where he is immune to all but soul-based attacks and attacks by beings who are on the same level of incorporeality as himself. This form does drain hi much faster than usual, and can only hold it at most for forty-five seconds at a time.
==Special Abilities==
Reuben has the special ability to access three forms; human, cat and "pet" cat. He can shift through the forms freely, using very little energy, if there is enough space. He will be coated in a small shield of light, so others can't see him transform. This ability has several uses, as his cat form is what he is best known for, while the human form can be used as a disguise, and also to access other areas that he usually couldn't. His "pet" cat form can also be used for stealth, as rarely anyone suspects such a creature to be a spy.
==Skills==
Reuben is skilled in the arts of stealth, eavesdropping, entering areas, and finding people telepathically. He is moderately skilled in using the blade-pommel balanced short, thin sword he has. His slices are very quick and accurate, but are also very light and don't do much damage, especially against armored foes. His stabs, however are very piercing and can cause a bit of damage, especially when coupled with being incorporeal, then stabbing the untouchable blade into someone, then turning physical. He can block, having to resort to two hands to catch heavier blows.
Reuben is also skilled with making arts and crafts. Usually little trinkets and toys. He is also skilled with words, using them to get out of tricky situations, otherwise using his incorporeality.
