[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]
Image Description
Finally created a reference for his gazelle form
Seeing as how I've been drawing him so much
And plan to continue on with doing so
I'll give some more in depth definitions that I haven't slapped into the reference.
If there are any questions don't be afraid to post them in the comments below.
I'll answer them as best as I can!

Aden is mainly just muscle covered in fur.
He has enough bits of fat to hide most sorts of muscle definition.
But even that is scarce.
Species
Thompson's Gazelle / Human
In the universe that I had put Aden in, he is considered to be a rather primitive species. Meaning that his mother is human and that his father is more than likely just a feral Gazelle. He was born from artificial insemination in order to create a 'primitive' species. To show evolution and how far the 'furry' race has grown and evolved throughout the years to be able to actually speak fluently between each species.
IQ
Below Average
The primitive title seeps into many other areas, besides just being a title and explaining what age in evolution he is at. It explains his main issues with being able to communicate and as well as his heightened animal senses. While other animals or 'furries' learned to adapt and become less like feral beasts, Aden still succumbs to things such as the need to migrate or to reproduce during the mating season. All in all, Aden's primitive nature is less just a name for his evolutionary state but an actual definition for simply his 'below average' mental state.
Fears
Abandonment/Rejection
Aden is practically nothing more than a house pet. He likes having attention on him and receiving affections and words of encouragement. Mainly, he tries to make everyone happy and always tries to make whomever it is that has his attention be proud of him in some form or another. Any sort of rejection or being abandoned and tossed aside always frightens him and makes him feel like he has done something wrong. It makes it even worse when the person is a little closer to home. Strangers still hurt, but not as much as someone near and dear to his heart. Sadly, this is quite an easy problem to run in to, since Aden tries to make friends with anyone and everything.
Predator Species
As stated before, Aden tends to retain some tendencies from his feral brethren. Namely, another in particular being that he has a natural reaction to be wary or shy away from predators. Anything with sharp teeth meant to cut through flesh, claws, talons, or that resemble anything that his mind has told him is dangerous makes him uncomfortable. Being in the culture he lives in, he knows that not all of them are dangerous or want to actually physically harm him, but he still can't help but try to stay away as best as he can.
Aspirations
To be seen as normal
With constantly being seen as inferior and primitive, Aden has the constant need and want to feel accepted and to be seen as an equal amongst his peers. He wants to be treated like everyone else, even if he has vocal mental blocks that he cannot get past. Not to mention that he isn't the smartest person in the whole world to begin with, it just hinders any sort of progress to be seen as normal. So slowly but surely he tries to show others that he is normal, just has his own weird quirks about him.
Diet
Vegetarian
he loves oatmeal and has at least several variants of it. He likes to stay healthy and in shape as best as he can. Although he'll enjoy a sweet or two every once in a while, normally they are at least healthy in some way, such as a caramel apple as a dessert.
Profession
Male Model for
Exotic Exposure
Nobody really knows how he made his way into the business. Only that he is an up and coming attraction and getting quite a bit of publicity for his photos. He makes quite a bit of money and travels across the country, or on more rare occasions, gets to travel across the ocean. Normally he will be found in Underwear or Swimsuit advertisements, although he does like to branch out and expand his field. A few friends close to home will take pictures of him for artistic aesthetics, which he will pose for willingly, even if it means he has to be nude or nearly nude for them. Which is pretty much the only time he will pose for things like that. Bad experiences when it came to getting into the more intimate and sexual parts of modeling.
[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]
Speech Impediment
Throughout all his life Aden has never been able to 'speak'. He is not capable of forming words and communicating in that fashion. Although he has grown up around seven other boys and his own mother and each one speaking fluent English, Aden has never been able to do it. He understands the English language and at least knows what people are saying when they communicate to him.
The only way that Aden can communicate is mainly with hand gestures and facial expressions. He does not know sign language, but he'll gesture and use his hands and arms the best that he can to try and get his point across of what he wants. Namely he'll use both together to accurately convey what it is he is trying to say. Not many people can actually understand his bleats, so this is the only way to socialize with people.
There are certain exceptions to being able to understand Aden's bleating noises and turn them into actual words. As long as it makes sense and is reasonable, I'll allow it.
For the most part though, Aden namely likes to remain silent. As much as he loves to talk and be vocal, he's had enough people staring at him odd or getting agitated with him for his vocal roadblocks. So for the longest time he has learned to simply not talk. Therefore a lot of people consider him to be mute, rather than have a speech impediment.
[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]
Feral State
This state does not happen too often. Namely, it is when Aden's mental control over his body is severed. His mind goes blank and due to the disconnection his body practically does whatever it wants to do. It happens normally during intimate moments, where Aden technically does not need to use his brain in the situations at hand. It takes a while to get into this state. Usually his feral state is caused by an increase of pheromones, whether from himself or from others around him which he absorbs. The only way that he can get out of this primal state is pretty much just to sleep it off or get it out of his system in other means.
This is one of the only times that he will have no concern or care about his actions. Although he will wake up in the morning and apologize for whatever he has done. Pretty much, his Feral State is like him going into an overly intoxicated state of mind, without any of the repercussions of having a hang over afterwards.
[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]
Heightened Senses
One of the main reasons that he had grown to have a fear of being abandoned and rejected comes from this. Aden loves to physically get affectionate. He is handsey and loves to get into people's personal space and inhale their scents. Each person has their own unique smell and he likes to connect to people in that fashion. He bunts his head against others and will run the tip or bridge of his nose against certain parts of their body. None of it is necessarily meant to be in any way flirtatious, it is just part of his personality to bit a bit of a cuddle whore.
Though, being that close to people, he tends to be able to smell their pheromones that comes along with their personal scent. This has lead to some miscommunication, where Aden thinks that his host is thinking one thing while he interprets it another way entirely. In more than one occasion it has turned great friendships into tragic ruin. It isn't something that he can control. Once he picks up on a certain emotion and inhales it long enough and lets it seep into his own body, he himself begins to feel the same way.
So in example, if someone is mourning a tragic loss of a family member or friend, Aden will almost feel their exact pain if he is around them or close enough to them for a long period of time. It is a gift that has helped him in some situations to soothe the ailments of his friends a colleges, but is also a curse that has torn parts of his life apart.
If he is around someone long enough and for long periods of time, he can stand farther away from said person and still be able to pick up on what they are feeling. The longer someone is around him and he gets to know them the easier he can pick up on the pheromones and stay in-tuned with them.

Ears
These ears are absolutely stationary and do not function. No, his ears cannot move vertically up and down. They can't turn and be floppy looking. The only kind of movement that they can do is curl in if someone pushes on it to do so since they are nothing but cartilage; or, they can move horizontally, but only by the tiniest of margins. In other words, Aden's ears are not used to show expression or emotion. They are simply there to do their job. That's all. They are sensitive and he does not like people messing with them too often, but that is it.

This is the most perfect ref sheet I've ever seen. ;_; It's so beautiful! And all the extra info on Aden beneath it is so useful for inspiration. :) It's kind of nice to see a character with animal traits who is technically disabled; I'm glad he's done well for himself. :)
