mahad’s main verse has him manifesting in the modern world after atem leaves for the afterlife / chooses to stay ( depending on what that particular roleplayer chooses ) , as their souls had been connected ever since mahad’s sacrifice 3000 years prior .  his magical abilities have been severely stunted ( though he’s still capable of what he’ll dryly call ‘ party tricks ’ ) and his knowledge of his new world is somewhat limited , as it doesn’t come directly from yuugi , but from atem acting as a middleman - some things got lost in the transition , in other words .  think of a game of telephone .  interactions with modern characters will take place in this verse unless otherwise plotted !

mahad is in love with atem .  atem roleplayers are by no means required to have atem return these feelings , but nonetheless , they are present across mahad’s main verse and hugely impact his life and narrative .  if you’re incapable of understanding that the 16 / 22 age gap didn’t mean the same thing 3000 years ago that it does today , or immediately decide these romantic feelings are ‘ fetishizing ’ or inherently sexual / immoral , you might want to check yourself - after you unfollow me , of course .

an interesting topic of discussion: how yanky PERCEIVES the world around him. like , literally how he SEES things. he has a lot of problems with his brain , so he suffers from major hallucinations .. and because of this and being so unchecked for so long , they've only gotten WORSE with time. not only does he see and hear things that aren't there , but the very world around him is WARPED. faces , places , things , colors , they're all wrong. it's hard to describe how he sees things , but i can at least TRY to show you. he doesn't see people the way they really exist. he can only perceive a twisted , deformed , shrimp - colored version of them. he doesn't know where to look , making his eye contact/movement erratic. things around him are always in motion and out of place , but even if it's so strange , he's lived with it for so long , so it's basically become normalcy to him.
