**Boris Grizzlies** is a bear (with robotic arms and legs) and a member of The Boy Team.

He is the scientist of the group along with Riland,  he was born with a disease that made him lose both his legs and arms. His parents later designed prosthetic arms and legs but also added a power to them, ice powers, He also plays the lead guitar for the band.

## History

### Early Life

Boris was born on December 1, 2003. At age 2, he was diagnosed with a disease (similar to Buerger's disease) that resulted in his arms and legs being removed. His parents couldn’t bear seeing their son like this, so they decided to use their scientific resources and create robotic arms and legs for him but also decided to give their son a “power”, ice power.

### Meeting the team

Over the next year Boris learned quickly to get use to his new powers and limbs. The next year, he attended preschool and the day came where he met the rest of the team.

## Personality

Boris is tough, down to earth, self confident, kind, easy-going, sensible, reliable, outgoing, cool, and fun-loving but serious and heroic when he needs to be. Much like the other boys, Boris does not take betrayal lightly. He hates losing battles, especially to seemingly ineffective opponents. He feels deeply and passionately, but he also has a mature head on his shoulders at times. One facet of personal vulnerability is Boris’ great personal pride in his inventions and intelligence level which is what he and Riland have always shared.

One of the main facts about Boris is that when he got his robotic arms and legs, he decided to make an oath to, “never take anything personal” because he knew for the rest of his life, he would be seen as different. But if something (really) gets to him, he will not hesitate to show his depressive emotions.
