**Phenomenal Beast** better known by his nickname just Beast is a human turned into a beast from Tampa, Florida(Earth(UB)) and is a member of the 5ive of a Kind. He is a very experienced and dangerous samurai, he's rather meek and gentle, he has a beast inside of him just waiting to be let out

## Backstory

Beast grew up an African American man with the name Uriah Champion. As a kid Uriah had big goals, he was big into wrestling and football and wanted to do both, so throughout middle school and elementary school he successfully pursued both and was great at both of them, all his free time went to the 2 sports. When he got to high his mom died and it was very hard for him and his dad, he didn't let this get to him though as he would continue his love for his 2 favorite sports and he was one of the most popular kids due to the fact that he was good at football and wrestling, every guy wanted to be his friend and every girl wanted to get with him. Eventually though Uriah’s life would turn upside down during senior year of high school he would get tackled hard during a football game by a rival teammate that was jealous of his success, and he’d be injured so badly that he was paralyzed from the waist down. This was devastating to a young Uriah, all his dreams had just gone down the drain at such a young age and he didn’t want to live anymore. His dad, who was a scientist, didn't want this for his son, and his dad had been working on an electrical device worn around the head that had the purpose of shocking the whole body which would shock feeling back into the paralyzed area. He had tested it on animals with broken bones and problems with their body and it worked so he figured he’d put the device on his son. The device worked at first and Uriah had got feeling back in his lower waist, Uriah was excited that he could continue his love for football and wrestling! This didn’t last long though as the side effects of the device had turned Uriah into an animal like creature and gave him unique powers and abilities. After this Uriah refused to finish school and gave up on his sports dreams and hated his dad for what he did to him but realized his dad was just trying to help. Eventually Uriah would try to blend back into society and got the nickname “Phenomenal Beast” from those around him, he begin doing work for people who were considered societal outcasts like criminals, mutants, aliens etc.(the only kind of work that would hire him). While practicing being a samurai with his sword he’d bought in his free time(Uriah had taken a huge liking to being a samurai). He learned quickly and was a master at being a samurai in little time, it turned out that the serum from his dad had given him the skills. He would eventually meet Smiley through work and even though Smiley annoyed him a little bit they hit it off immediately and would end up forming the 5ive of a Kind

## Personality

Most people would expect someone like Phenomenal Beast to have a voice that’s just like a.. well “Beast” but in actuality his voice is very soft and soothing. Everyone on the team would rather refer to him as just Beast rather than his real name Uriah, or his societal name Phenomenal Beast. Beast is a gentle giant and respects people a lot, especially women, and even though he has an angry and wrathful side it doesn’t show much unless you get on his bad side(Smiley knows just how to get it to come out.) Beast loves to watch and talk about fighting and wrestling, he also enjoys play fighting. Beast has a passion for sword fighting and being a samurai, and has his own special sword he uses to fight with. Due to ability of being such an experienced samurai, he is extremely powerful and sees himself as an actual anime character. He has a good relationship with everyone on the team for the most part. He’s the closest with Smiley and Arsenal but has good relationships with Menda and Yvette, him and Yvette are very respectful of each other and Menda often sticks up for him when needed. One thing he lacks is courage, he can be a wussy most of the time and is scared of things like ghosts and the dark and can easily be frightened which got him his nickname “The Beast with No Balls” from Smiley and Arsenal, but don’t forget that he can always be a dangerous beast when need be.
