Malik

- tag team with Cy
- kleptomanic; collects everyone's valuables, basically has an entire museum in his room (with plaques of the owner and what it meant to them)
- he always has to painstakingly clean up / restore the belongings that Cy scams people out of
- at some point improves Cy's scamming process by creating a fluid that burns super well but protects the actual valuable, though it looks like it's destroyed

- smart of head, dumb of ass
- the kindest bulky boy, the himboest boy you can come up with
- has to be metaphorically hit over the head to get a social cue
- perches when stressed or anxious
- has incredible amounts of love to give & will smother u if given the chance
- studies chemistry & works parttime as a barista
- if you notice equipment going missing no you didn't
- his life goal is to find a sustainable way to synthesize gold

- one night he was out on the sea, noticibly drunk
- there he met Mallor who was like [hey. wanna help me with something. I have treasures u can have]
- & Mallor's gold-loving ass was like [fuck yeah]
- and now. well. now there are two kittens out there who share half of their dna w/ Malik. but he doesn't quite remember that. nor do the kittens know. the only one who knows is Mallor, who doesn't ever intend on telling anyone
- but like. it's definitely a thing that happened
