w e i g h t x // x135 lbs
h a i r x // xKhyree's hair holds a very tight, thick, coarse curl. If left to its own devices, it will dread together. It's an easy look he likes. Being very low-maintenance when it comes to style, Khy tends to allow his mane to do its own thing. He also grows hair rather quickly, so If he doesn't cut it regularly (face and head), he'll find himself looking like a bushy caveman in no time flat. Kind of crazy up top and a little cleaner on the face is the swag he usually adheres to. But, depending on his mood and mental state, one could find him clean shaven this week and boastfully hairy the next.
e y e s x // xIf the eyes are indeed the window to the soul, one would almost theorize that perhaps Khyree Bishop-Smith has his shades drawn. Dark and evasive, given the chance to stare deeply into the two black pools, a weaker-willed being might drown in the hoard of mental and emotional chaos that festers there. This is why he tends to keep his eyes moving. Searching. Too much time looking into another's increases the risk of someone looking right into his soul and seeing his instability.
o d d i t i e s x // xHe has a small tattoo on his right inner wrist that reads, "One day at a time...". It is in his mother's handwriting.
a p p e a r a n c e x // xKhyree, always seemingly lost in his thoughts, tries to enter rooms without drawing a lot of attention, head bowed and hunched over. But his presence, his ambiguity, can be oddly attractive and hard to ignore. He is skinny with a slightly muscular frame and average height. Sometimes his nervous energy will manifest in a bouncing knee or chewing on his fingernails. He can be found curled up in corners or sitting cross-legged in his seat. Disheveled and unkempt, his clothes usually have holes and are too big for him. The move in the morning is to grab whatever’s cleanest off of the floor, usually a hoodie he can hide in and some shorts.

He spends a lot of time in his own head, wrestling with his own existence or trying to reimagine his past. There is also an inner struggle to keep his emotions at bay. He is always on edge and battles anxiety. Having had more than his fair share of panic attacks, he fights to keep his sanity by trying to maintain comfortable external conditions. The goal is to do this without embarrassing himself or drawing attention, so he finds comfort under a hoodie or a warm corner or constant music in his ears.
Most of his life was spent with his mother, who raised him to be kind and seek justice for all men. Khyree does his best to treat everyone with respect. If he comes across rude, it's not usually on purpose. Even at the expense of his own mental comfort sometimes, he'd rather be kind.
Awkward would definitely describe him well. In social situations, he may be clumsy in his actions or in his speaking. His mind is always running, so it can be hard for him to focus. This causes him to act oddly or do cringe-worthy things.

It wasn’t until Khyree turned 12 that his mutant powers started to show up, to his mother’s dismay. Coming from a neighborhood and school district where there hadn’t been much talk about the mutant community, Khyree stood out and even had to transfer schools due to the disruptive nature of his gifts. Not knowing what to do to fix it, Keoni was forced to reach out to Bishop and tell him the truth.
Thus, a now very bitter Bishop was introduced to Khyree in his pre-teen years. The two were practically strangers. Bishop began to come around regularly and coach Khyree on how to best control his powers. Unfortunately, Bishop’s harsh and brash personality clashed with Khyree’s much softer, shy, and quiet personality. This would aggravate Bishop, so he would do things to intentionally get Khyree to cry. Then he would tease him or discipline him in hopes it would toughen the boy up. It created a deeper divide in their relationship, as Khyree became extremely fearful of his father and eventually closed in on himself, fighting to hold his emotions.
Bishop realized just how powerful his son could be, and did all he could to get the boy to toughen up. It only contributed to more of Khyree’s neurosis. As he aged into his high school years, Bishop used his connects to get Khyree into Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. But Khy hated just the idea of it. He was fed up with being a mutant and only wanted to learn to be as normal as he could. He begged and pleaded with his mother to pull him out of the school in the first semester, and she did. He and his father had it out, and Bishop, extremely disappointed, stayed away for a great deal of time because of it.
Khyree put his energy into staying away from Bishop and keeping his powers at bay through college and high school. It wasn’t until after his college years that Hydra got wind of his abilities, and he was ambushed in his neighborhood and imprisoned at their facilities where he was experimented on, tortured, and thoroughly, regularly examined. His powers would be very useful in the hands of Hydra, thus they spent time trying to figure out how they could harvest his powers as a weapon.
