“[white noise] [poop emoji]”
When he allows himself to be seen, Chess appears as a 30-lb. Maine Coon cat with brown tabby markings and fierce yellow eyes. Close examination is necessary to notice his polydactyl forepaws (with opposable thumbs) and fully prehensile tail. His manner is aloof and standoffish and he holds most transhuman life in little regard. What little communication he desires with transhumankind is generally accomplished through English-language message boards, chatroom emoji, and kinesics, as his vocal cords are not capable of human speech. His signature form of sonic expression is a burst of white noise followed by the closing of the channel.
