Personality
Indi is the kind of guy who pretty much takes his mind off of everything by being optimistic and having a laugh. He’s a silly guy who loves to make jokes and even mocks his own faults. However, in his case, his major fault is being deaf. He uses the headphones on his head to make it seem, to people outside the flock, that he can’t hear, due to having music up too loud. In reality, the end of his headphones is connected to a juice carton. He can lip-read, so he can still join in with the rest of the group like nothing was wrong, but he doesn’t always get it right. Indi loves to be around other people and is easily affectionate to others. He’s trustworthy and easily trusts others. Possibly too easily... He loves hugging and seeing the flock in a good mood, just wishing that they could have as much of a laugh as possible. It’s safe to say that he definitely puts others before himself and takes great care in trying to keep everyone happy while he can. He has a great sense of humor, and loves to be sarcastic every once in a while. When Sam gives orders, you can always count on him going, “What?” And gesturing to his ear at least once.
In general, Indi is seen as the happy chirpy boy, the one that you could always count on to cheer you up and stick up for you when you need him. However, this isn’t always the case... Indi is actually sensitive when it comes to talking seriously about himself. In all honesty, he hates who he is. He feels like he’s possibly the most helpless one of the flock. The deaf kid who breaks down and has visions every so often, “Whop-de-doo...” He knew that if it wasn’t for the rest of the flock, he’d be stuck in the school, probably dead by now and being classed as a ‘failed experiment’. Indi tried to keep hopes up in the school, but he does still miss being able to hear. He wished he could hear how the flock sounded now, and how he sounded. He just has this desire to be stronger, and he knows he won’t be able to get that when he’s the weakest one in the flock.

History
There’s not much history to say about Indi. He’s always been a positive kid. He was born to Michael and Felicity Haven, and was kidnapped the day after he was born. It was pretty much just after the day the decided his name, sadly. Indi grew up developing a sort of indie-boy look, and by the time he was 13, the catchy name #2943 was dropped and changed to Indi. Indi was put through an experiment at about age 10 which was to test what limitations his senses went to. It was a test on his hearing ability, and the levels accidentally went too high. His eardrums gruesomely burst and blood flooded out of his ears. He was told he’d never be able to hear again, and that was that. He was given ear plugs when it had first happened, but there was a wire connecting them together, and the ‘earphones’ look suited him. He managed to escape with the rest of the flock and easily got along with them. He trusted all of them quite quickly and sees them as his own little family. He’s never been all that interested in who his parents are or were. He’s happy with the family he’s got, and he doesn’t need another one.
Code: Angel
Power Indi isn’t so strong in the strength’s department. He can keep up a fight, but he has never been a fighter. Maybe Indi’s power suits him, as painful as it is. Indi has the capability to see into the distant future. He goes into a slight state where his limbs just stop working and he’s left in his own mind. However, one perk of this is that in his visions, he manages to hear what’s going on in the vision too. It’s one of the reasons that he doesn’t actually mind going into this state, because he can experience using his ears once again.
Likes:
- Comic/anime/fictional books –Since Indi can’t hear things, visuals and imagery is like his best friend. His vision is his strongest point.
- Human contact –Indi loves to be around others. Not only does he feel less lonely, but he can try to imagine what others sound like and the tonality of their voices.
- Art, drawing, etc. –Ever since Indi broke out, he’s had a desire to draw a lot. He carries around a small sketchbook in his back pocket with a pencil attached.
- Playing about –Generally, Indi is a silly character. He loves playing games, being able to laugh and just not be serious. All the serious ‘we might be killed any second’ stuff is a real downer on his shoulders.
- Foooooood! –Food is like... heaven. Indi, using all the energy he does by messing about and flying around, he eats quite a lot, and yet still stays stick thin. It may be confusing to others, but he’s managed to still be in shape, and still be a cuddly guy.
- Animals, children, cute things –As girly as it sounds, he loves little sweet innocent things. He would care a considerable amount for it as he would see it as one thing more vulnerable than him.
- Sleeeep -Having nocturnal DNA put into him, Indi is a boy who should sleep during the day. The lack of this leads to him wanting more sleep at night, meaning he loves dreaming and being able to go into his own little world...
Dislikes:
- The dark –well, that’s kinda understandable. For a guy who relies on his vision, and not having night vision gear, he wouldn’t be a fan of darkness. He can see better than the others in the dark, having owl DNA within him, but he still can’t see brilliantly.
- His visions –Yes, he likes being able to hear at least something, but it sometimes causes major trauma on him, and they come on quickly. Sometimes, his visions have caused him major damage, making him even more fearful of them.
- Vegetables –“Disgusting stuff, why waste time with broccoli when I can have a burger. Or a hot dog. OR PIZZA!”
- Erasers, needles or anything relating to the school –I think this one pretty much explains itself, but if I must explain, then it’s basically his nightmares and living hell. He fears being captured and killed by erasers and if he has an experiment on his eyesight, he will freak.
- Fighting –Indi’s a lover, not a fighter. “Yup, hippie line, but it’s so me.” Indi hates hurting others, erasers especially. Why? Because inside an eraser is a six year old. He’d never want to beat up a little kid, so why would he want to beat up them?
His wings.
Other:Nopedy nope nope.
Writing Sample:
The furry lips of an eraser moved about quickly and in large fierce movements. Slobber went everywhere, onto the blonde’s cheeks, his nose, even a little bit in his eyes. No sound was heard in his perspective. To him, it was just jarring movements and nothing else. He blinked a couple of times when the lips came panting to a stop and he broke into a small smile. “Okay fluffy.” He said happily, unsure to what he was okay-ing but finding he received a punch to the gut afterwards, being shoved into his cage.
He coughed a couple of times, holding his middle and closing his eyes. He felt the vibrations on the floor of the door slamming shut and opened his eyes. He felt a gentle tap on his back, sat up and swivelled round to a small girl in the cage opposite him, her skin slimey and like that of a snakes. ‘Did you find anything?’ he read upon her lips. He paused for a moment before giving her a warm smile, leaning in towards her and handing her a chocolate bar. “Eat up.” Indi said gently, hungrily watching the girl eat the one piece of food he’d managed to find...
