A question for the community Part II: Electric Boogaloo

I'd like to think this is an inclusive community. With all nationalities, creeds, religions, sexualities, etc. represented here, whether by the users themselves or by the OCs they use. Now, it should be known by all that no user is perfect, no one is, though some of the OCs are, as in never suffered a loss. Anyway, there is one group that hasn't had an OC represent them.

Those with disabilities.

Now, obviously, we can't have someone in a wheelchair wrestling. That much is understandable, it would also be quite tacky, however, as I am always trying to be unique, I think I can make this work, so my question is this:

Would you mind a wrestler that was born deaf?

Obviously, there would be some challenges with having an OC that cannot hear, dialogue would be minimum (I'm considering adding a manager for this particular OC, if it comes to fruition) and there might be some moaral quandries about such a character. Of course, I don't think being deaf could hinder your wrestling ability. But, I leave it to you: Would you be offended by a deaf OC?

I wouldn't be offended by a character who was blind or deaf provided they have the other senses to fight effectively. Like being able to sense vibrations at a human level.

So a possible Toph like wrestler would work in this scenario.

I know one thing: You can't talk trash, cause he sure as hell can't hear it...

If Zach Gowen can wrestle in real life I don't see why a deaf person can't. To be honest, I've considered the thought of a disabled character myself; there's a visual novel, Katawa Shoujo, that takes place at a special education school and it's quite popular. I could see some of the characters being used as a basis for those in LAW. But I already have enough character ideas right now :P

I've decided that this will happen, but, will happen as a pair of wrestlers as a big sister/little brother combo (The little brother being the one born deaf) Stay tuned.
