the official term is ‘bear physiology’ but royal often refers to himself as a bear shifter
( 2 ) what is their government-assigned classification level?
level 2
( 3 ) what can they do?
royal’s primary ability is transforming into a grizzly bear ( ursus arctos horribilis ), but he also retains many aspects of bear physiology in his human form — enhanced strength; wildly acute senses of hearing, vision, and smell; fuzziness; a massive appetite geared towards protein, fruits, roots, and shoots (yes he loves salmon. don’t tease about it); a propensity for naps after large meals as well as increased sluggishness in winter; and last but perhaps most importantly, a fierce territorial streak that’s easily provoked and hard to placate
( 4 ) what can’t they do?
unfortunately for royal, remaining a bear indefinitely seems to be out of the question. he’s only ever managed to stay transformed for ten whole days at the longest. additionally, there is no in between stage to his transformation, at least not that he can currently achieve and hold. this is something he’s hoping to develop as a skill, because that would be really fucking cool
( 5 ) what are their weaknesses?
the act of transforming takes a lot of energy, which royal gets from the unusually large amount of food he eats. if his reserves are low he may still be able to transform, but not for terribly long and he’ll likely be sluggish and tired. in the event that he was deprived of food long term, royal would lose his ability to transform, as well as some of his enhanced strength. however, he will also become increasingly agitated and dangerous to whatever or whomever is keeping him from his usual meal schedule so it’s their funeral really
( 6 ) how did they first come to the realization that they were a mutant?
royal’s mutation actually manifested in two stages: the first when he was just on the cusp of twelve and climbed farther up a tree than he should have and got stuck. before he knew it he had paws and claws and was able to shimmy down the tree with far less trouble. at that point, he could transform, but it wasn’t until after his thirteenth birthday that he developed the enhanced strength, senses, and appetite
( 7 ) if given the choice, would they remain a mutant? why or why not?
there is absolutely no question in his mind that royal would remain a mutant. he’s not interested in any kind of “cure” and he has some free dental work waiting on hand for anyone who implies that he needs one
( 8 ) what do they hope to see change in the future, with respect to the current strife over mutant acceptance? short-term? long-term?
more than anything royal hopes for long term mutant acceptance. the utter destruction dissolution of ammo would be welcomed with vicious joy, but short term — an end to the mutant registration program, less overt anti-mutant sentiment in day-to-day life, you know, the little things :)

Living conditions: Yas' place is a one-bedroom mess. It's a good flat, spacious and in a good location, all things considered, but he's not the best at decorating. Apart from the very odd artwork or two hanging crookedly on the walls, there isn't much more to it. He keeps his space clean and tidy when he has the time to do that, but it's not a very personal place. Also probably smells like smoke most of the time -- or, air freshener if he's trying to impress you.

In debt?: No
Most valuable possession: Emotionally, his own laptop or phone, and all the photos and memories stored in them, as well as his work.

Physical Appearance & Characteristics
Faceclaim: Rami Malek
Eye colour: Greyish green
Hair colour: Black
Hair type/style/length: Shaved on the sides, originally short on top but it grows out too fast and he can't be bothered to get a haircut, so it grows out curly. When it starts to become a mop and look like he has a helmet of hair on, he cuts it short again, and repeats that cycle.
Glasses/contacts?: No, but they're needed. He has shit eyesight and no one ever forced him to get glasses so he never did. Don't ask him to read any signs that are far away.
Dominant hand: Right
Height: 5'9 / 175cm
Weight: 154 lb / 70kg
Build: Slim
Exercise habits: Nonexistent, but he does a lot of walking
Skin tone: Olive (Type IV)
Tattoos: The initials of his siblings, A.S. in a simple font, on the bottom of his ribs on his right side. They all have matching ones. He continuously tells them the joke that they should get a fourth sibling with an S name, so he can get A.S.S. tattooed instead.
Piercings: None
Marks/scars: Several small scars around his legs and arms, from climbing around and getting into trouble as a middle child desperate for attention. A more notorious scar runs up behind his left elbow from a night in college when he got wasted with his friends and had an accident with a knife (don't ask).
Clothing style: Black, a lot of black. The most colourful thing in his closet might be a dark grey jumper. Very minimalistic in the sense that he never wears patterns or colours or graphic tees, it's always just very dry and kind of bland. He probably could get into fashion if he wanted to, but he feels bad spending so much of his hard-earned money on the high-fashion stuff. Also he can frequently be spotted wearing those compression gloves/braces on his hands, for carpal tunnel syndrome
Jewellery: A couple necklaces that have no emotional attachment besides "I thought they were cool so I bought them", but he's never without them, even when they mostly just hang inside his shirts. Dabbles in rings if he's feeling fancy.
Allergies: None
Diet: Consists of mostly snacks. He occasionally buys the healthy kind, like a couple granola bars or some fruit, but if he's going through a big project, he'll only snack. Anything easy to eat with one hand goes. He does, however, understand the value of nutrition and that he needs to fuel his body properly every once in a while; when that happens, he resorts to ordering food from some healthy restaurant nearby. It's basically a couple salads a month and then nothing but Doritos for days straight.
Physical ailments: Carpal tunnel syndrome happens often enough that it's almost chronic, because he doesn't usually take breaks or stretch his wrists out like he's supposed to. Back pain from sitting all day (and bad posture) is also so present that he barely notices it anymore.
Psychology
MBTI type: INTJ
Enneagram type: Type Five

Phobia(s): Acrophobia and atychiphobia
Addiction(s): Cigarettes/Vaping
Drug use: Sometimes wrongly and terribly pops an Adderall when pulling all-nighters. Has smoked weed before, but he doesn't love the slowness of when he gets high.
Alcohol use: Not very often nowadays, but the occasional blackout still happens. He's known to become a completely different person when he drinks, much more loose and fun and happy, so he does it sparingly
Prone to violence?: No
Prone to crying?: No
Believe in love at first sight?: Yes, but doesn't think he's the type to ever experience that, since it takes a while for him to get close to people, so he believes in it as an abstract concept
Mannerisms
Accent: RP English
Speech quirks: A lot of pauses between words and sentences, since he often thinks a lot before he speaks. The occasional ums and uhs and some stuttering if his mind is working faster than he can speak, too.
Hobbies: Photography, playing video games, reading novels (graphic or otherwise), finding passive-aggressive memes to send into the Gamal siblings groupchat
Habits: Stealing wifi, smoking and vaping, ordering delivery of everything instead of getting it himself
Nervous ticks: lip chewing, tapping fingers, bouncing one knee, scratching his neck/jaw or touching his nose
Drives/motivations: It's all for the glory, babey
Fears: Never achieving anything grand
Sense of humour?: It goes as far as memes and roasting his loved ones, but not much further than that. He's usually not comfortable enough to crack jokes, but you might get a sarcastic comment or two if you're lucky. Deep down, he can be sharp and quick-witted, but it doesn't come out often, unless he's having drinks.
Do they curse often?: Hecc yes, probably as a form of rebellion against his posh parents

Attitudes
Greatest dream: Finally being famous for his work
Greatest fear: Never achieving anything big enough to make him happy, and being forever miserable because of it
Most at ease when: Left by himself or enjoying someone else's company that he's truly comfortable with, probably in silence, doing his own thing
Least as ease when: Forced into environments where he has to put on fancy clothes and pretend to be enjoying himself when he's not. Alternatively: when he's going on hour 32 without any sleep and he's denied more coffee
Worst possible thing that could happen: Achieving greatness but realising he needs something else in order to feel fulfilled and be happy
Biggest achievement: His degree and hopefully the first working Time Machine
Biggest regret: He doesn't like to say he regrets things, so there's nothing he'd call a huge regret. But if he had to say something, he'd probably say it was not telling that one high school crush that he liked them.
