Lore/Deaf: You're not actually deaf...in fact, you hear perfectly well. Unfortunately, the sounds of the world around you are completely drown out by voices which scream random pieces of information into your ears. The voices never stop, not even allowing you a decent night's sleep. However, should you ever be called upon to describe the effect that the invention of the trebuchet had on the sale of muffins, you will have an answer ready.
