Powers	^Know It All - add +4 to Smarts/Greymatta permanently, and can always answer some question off the top of their head - not always correctly of course, just quickly. However he also is able to do specific research tasks involving very strong intellectual/speed of thought abilities, so complicated maths, learning facts and events, compare and contrast tasks, any logic or detective style forensics, he knows how to do it with just a few flips through a manual or staring off into space 'seeing calculations drift in front of his eyes' Telekinetics - While he is a big boy, Shyyui is remarkably nimble and able to use this power to cling to surfaces, or boost himself just a teeny bit farther up a wall while climbing, and supporting his own sizeable weight on narrow beams or things which would not normally support him on their own. He doesn't use this to lift other things, just to manipulate his own foot placement and weight distribution. In that though, he's capable of actually being a rider on even improbably small vehicles and not throw off the steering or ruin the suspension on it... Stealth - Somehow able to blend in with the scenery if he doesn't have to move or make sounds. This would normally work best for a feline like his taur end while in a natural setting such as snowy or rocky terrain but he can pull it off on campus or at the beach equally well. You'll never know he's there unless he raises his hand to answer a question, or you trip over him
Clusters	He's A Nerd Get Over It +3 He is a very smart kid, but doesn't lord over people with it. Though he picks up trivia and facts alike, he generally only uses them in the right context. So if he's dragged to a comic convention he will easily be able to keep up with conversations about that anime or this detective character, but also can remember which battle was won or lost in the course of some Fur-Side city's history. With a mind as clear and able to retain information like his, it would be impossible to not be a nerd He's Hot Get Over It +3 Also just. Look at him. He's not small, Zeddians are quite tall as humanoids, and he's not any shorter than most of them even though he's also got that taur end to deal with, so he's literally like a full sized snow leopard added to a full sized Zeddian, with all the fluff and buff you could possibly handle. He is attractive to basically everyone, in other words
Skills	Hide And Seek +5 Perceptive and energetic in bursts, when he's being 'physical' he is definitely going to be good at it too. Enjoys being on the move, listening for cues and occasionally sniffing the air for what you're wearing or ate recently. He's very good at both aspects of Hiding and Seeking; one because he's able to suss out clues, the other because he's ridiculously good at stealth if he just sits still a while... Grooming Others Is Fun +3 Look, his feline portions are very, very dominant. He truly enjoys making sure that other people are combed and coiffed or spruced up before a performance, or don't have schmutz on their glasses, no wrinkles allowed on those slacks before a debate. If you have the grooming tools needed to take care of whatever can use it (hair, hooves, horns, etc) he will eagerly watch you use it once and then be able to do it himself with a little practice. Though you'll want to watch out to see whether anything he's done has gone pear-shaped recently... (see below)
Knacks	*Nothing Ever Really Goes Right -4 This is an odd 'negative knack', but in context, Shyyui's 'luck' with regards to other people is often bad before it gets good. Or, even if going well, something might go wrong just at the last minute or turn out in a way that he didn't plan on. Helping save a person from a building fire only to discover they set it and were setting someone up; fixing the vehicle by the side of the road only to have a train crash into it, that kind of thing - usually not fatal but definitely he's going to be saddled with a lot of guilt most of his life because of his weird luck; he himself has perfectly fine luck rolls, if there's a dice game going he'll probably do well, games that involve more randomness than skill he's often enjoying. But when he must do something for anyone else, there's always a chance that something will go very wrong soon afterwards. This acts as a 1 in 4 chance. It's not 'ever' all bad, but it's often enough that it hurts every time something goes weirdly. This rarely happens in short order, seeming to 'reset' about once a day if it has happened, but if it hasn't, you can bet on it happening soon™ Somehow, Hypoallergenic +1 Even if you're allergic to cats, he doesn't trigger these allergies and doesn't seem to leave fur anywhere behind him unless you've combed it off his body

Pets	Some animals seem to really like him, others behave like he is a cat and act accordingly
Parents?	Abandoned at birth due to severe mutations, but picked up by the offworld committee when old enough to travel; he has no memory of his parents, but does know that his world doesn't often look kindly on such oddities, nor offworlders, and would like to change that
Siblings?	Highly unlikely if he was born to the same parents, these kinds of mutations tend to show up again and obviously once would have been enough

Somehow Shyyui managed to make it to the Checkerboard Ball, maybe he hitched a ride with one of the professors attending? Well that wouldn't be a surprise given his Men In Black and Verticality training, he could slip in unnoticed and lurk if he heard any signs that something was amiss, right?

It was hardly an hour into the event though, when some of the first actual dragons started coming out from their half of the venue to be shown off. Apparently this group had waited a long time for this, the proud parents were very small but they wouldn't be the smallest of the event! Not that Shyyui would make much notice of the ones coming after them. Because a shiny silver and spotted dragoness came right up to him. Bold, smart, and clearly a queen in her own right even straight out of the shell!

I am looking for someone like you, perhaps we can also find others. I would like to see this school you're fond of, you will show me, won't you?

Shocked more at the intimacy of her thoughts, than the fact that a 'queen' chose him, Shyyui gathered his wits quickly. He'd read the whole greeting pamphlet, he knew what to expect of any of these hatchlings! "You're... you're pure Pernese aren't you?"

As much as that matters, perhaps I am? I am Uusaastath, and I am yours.

He looked around, at all the different people, and people like him, realizing that not everyone was as they seemed, and that certainly included the dragons. So he nodded, and offered to help her find her first meal over at the meat stand. He might partake too! Fresh meat was always something his kitty belly appreciated!

**

It wasn't much more than an hour later when a hit parade of tiny and smol dragonets were brought out by their equally somewhat-tiny parents. Some of the only ones smaller than his current little queen, and oh how there were so many of them. However, he noticed Uusaastath perk up, as they came out. Something in her demeanor, not just in the ping in the back of his mind where she now rested, said there was more to the pack of new arrivals than first appeared.

He was still getting used to the mental contact, but it would only be a matter of a few hours, maybe even before the end of the party, that he'd be fully aware of how best to communicate through or to his suddenly-beloved dragon. This however was new - a feeling of yearning that he knew Uusaa had felt just before meeting him, returning to her now.

And thus, filling him with the yearning. He was hungry again, even though both the dragon and he had had their fill earlier. He'd cleaned her up, but just like his luck - and probably just the only issue tonight given how it typically played out - she immediately discovered the chocolate fondue fountain and 'accidentally' doused herself in it... It needed to be cycled through and cleaned anyway, that's what they claimed. But it was because really, don't stick your hand or head or tentacle or tail right into it please? the fondue forks are there for a reason?

Dunno what fon-doo is, but it seems messy. I suppose some people like that though.

It was another voice, clear as a bell, moving through his own mind as easily as his bond's. Distinctly male, he thought.

Then I have a king to hold court with, Uusaastath proudly purred, giving a regal (if high-pitched) trumpet to announce him as he stepped toward them out from the mass of black, white, grey, and silver dragonets. He wasn't the largest, but he seemed just perfect for the little queen after all!

They would remain at the party together, though with the connections that Shyyui was making all evening, they would show up at a variety of locations once they were grown. Perhaps they would become some kind of diplomatic team, though he was pretty sure that his bad luck curse might show up in very bad ways... maybe it was worth trying anyway!
