BACKGROUND
After discovering his mutation, which he initially found rather difficult to control and get a handle on, Teodor withdrew from society for a while. His version of laying low - or arguably doing rather the opposite - was to join up with a traveling cirque troupe, where he performed both in the role of strongman and circus bear. Unbeknownst to the audience or anyone other than the circus' main staff and performers, of course. He stayed with the cirque troupe for a couple of years, at which point he was pretty much running the show.
The reason Teodor left the life of a performer and mother Russia behind was simple - love. He fell head over heels for an American, an artist and ballerina who was studying Russian ballet. They met in an alleyway, after Teodor - in bear form - stopped a few lowlifes from harassing the lady. When a man sped to her rescue so soon after the almost mugging followed by a sudden bear attack, she saw right through the performance. Yet - for reasons beyond Teodor's comprehension - she did not flee the scene. And instead berated him for resorting to such reckless aggression in her name, insisting she actually had the situation well in hand. She might well have. Teodor still swears he immediately knew she was the one in that 'romantic' moment.
Sure enough they officially ended up together after a couple months of passionate courtship. And when she returned to the states, Teodor followed her there. Some years later, they are still happily married and have several children together. Two handsome, strong boys and a fiercely independent young lady, who obviously take after their mother.
APPEARANCE
PERSONALITY
ABILITIES
- Enhanced Senses/ Tracking - Teodor possesses similarly strong senses as those of a bear, namely his sense of smell and hearing. His acute hearing is almost twice as sensitive as that of your average human and covers a large range of frequencies. And his sense of smell allows him to pick up scents from over a mile away. This makes him a remarkable tracker.
- Enhanced Strength - Apart from outright becoming a bear, Teodor is able to tap into his raw ursine power at all times. Sometimes doing so almost passively, without fully realizing it. This allows him to perform amazing feats of strength, with displays of power roughly equivalent to the strength of a large brown bear. That is around five times as strong as most man.
- Ursine Mimicry - Teodor's power is not to transform into a bear. Not exactly. His mutation caused him to assimilate or fuse with the essence of another being or creature. Rather than shape shifting into a bear, it is more like he swaps places or produces a psychic manifestation of said bear to temporarily assume his place. He calls forth and channels his inner ursine.
