Name: Theo Woodnut
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Species: Red fox squirrel
Personality (2 paragraphs): Theo may little more than a dibbun, but try saying that after seeing him work. Theo is an absolute genius when it comes to tinkering and inventing, having learned it from his father. He has wide knowledge of how things work and simple machines, courtesy of his dad, so he can rig up some pretty interesting stuff. He's designed and built things ranging from a small catapult(Pretty accurate too), a self propelled cart(Uses a series of gears and levers to spin the wheels), and even a zip line system. However, due to a lack of thinking things through, most of these end in disaster. But alas, he'll never give it up.
Theo, like most dibbuns, is very hyper and energetic, with an innocent disregard for the rules. Using various inventions and tricks, he's manged to leave the abbey without trouble and return before they even knew he was missing. Also he can become easily obsessed with inventions or puzzles, as well become so focused he seems to completely zoom out. he's friendly and loyal, but somewhat mischievous and diabolical. For example, that small catapult ended up 'Accidently", launching another dibbun in baskets of food. Hence why they burned it.
At times he can be eccentric, obsessive, mysterious, sneaky, strange and just plain crazy. Also he's very observant of his surrounding and how things working. In fact, his greatest dream is to go beyond the tree tops and fly.
Appearance (2 paragraphs): Theo's appearnce is nothing fancy, like most redwall creatures. His fur is a light grey color with a reddish yellow underbelly and a long bushy tail. He wears a pair of old, brown gloves he got from his father, but with little holes at the tip for his claws to stick out. His eyes are a light blue color but whenever he's think, they gain a devious gleam.
He always wears a pair of goggles his dad made for him on his forehead. The goggles are made out of two hollowed wood circles with glass sealed inside them, and a rope to hold it's on his head. He wears a faded green tunic but has added on several pockets to hold whatever he happens to put in.
Allegiance (Redwall, Salamanderstron, etc): Redwall
Weapons (1 paragraph): He's a dibbun, so not many weapons. Still, some inventions could be counted as such. He's created a mini-catapult using pulleys and tension force, a small pedal cart, a zip line, and other inventions of the sort. He's learned most of this from his late father and his journal. However he does carry a carving knife he has from his father, which he has great skill in carving, carpentry and even throwing or fighting if necessary.
Position (Only applies to Redwallers, Salamandastron resident and anyone in a tribe): Dibbun, and self-proclaimed Inventor
History (be detailed - 2 - 3 paragraphs): Theo wasn't born in redwall, but out in mossflower woods. His father, Arkus Woodnut, lived in mossflower woods in a tower Theo's grandfather and uncles built years ago. Theo's mother died during birth, but his father raised him better than most. Arkus, along with the rest of his family who long since left, was an inventor and could build things few could think of.
For generations the Woodnut clan had been making discoveries and recording them into journals. Ever since Theo could walk his father was teaching him all he knew, before he could even speak. Theo just absorbed it all and as soon as his dad taught him to read, he was reading all of his family's journals. He loved learning about his family's work, and while most dibbuns would rather play, he'd be studying, observing, and building.
However, Arkus grew ill and knew his time was coming. So he and Theo began moving all their inventions and the family journals into a underground cellar a little ways from the windmill, though theo had no knowledge of his father's illness. After that Arkus took his son to Redwall Abbey, where they had visited several times. Arkus told the Abbess of his illness and asked that his son be given a home there. This was granted and Arkus passed before the end of the season.
At first Theo was distraught and kept to himself, even abandoning his loved art of inventing. However with help of the Abby residents, he managed to return to his old self and took up inventing once again with newfound vigor, to keep his families tradition alive and to finish all his father didn't get to.
