Malik In Briefs...
or in brief, if you must spoil my fun...
When he is ten Malik
goes through a ceremony and scars that speak of the God Cards and the Pharaoh's
Memory is engraved on his back. Apparently his home is
underground, so the poor guy never gets to see the light of day. (makes
one wonder how come he's got that tan then?)
Isis one day helps Malik sneak outside to see the light, and when they get back, his father goes a little bit ballistic and basically tries to murder Rishid by stabbing him repeatedly. Understandably this upsets Malik, as Rishid is his only friend.
"From the darkness formed in Malik’s
heart by his dark childhood, Yami Malik is born. While Malik watched his only
friend hurt by his father he flipped. Yami Malik killed Malik’s father that
day. When Malik came to himself again he was shocked to find his father dead.
He was told by Shadi that it was the pharaoh’s (Yugi) wishes that his father
was dead. From that day on Malik wanted nothing but revenge. Malik is a
cold-hearted person. He had little feelings toward others. He also has little
considerations for innocent people’s safety. Therefore, many people are hurt
or killed during the Battle City Arc. All he wants is his revenge. He is a
dark and manipulative character, however his darkness is nothing when compared
to Yami Malik." (-Where is this from? I would like to credit!)
When Malik changes
into Yami Malik, his hair goes insanely spiky and his eyes narrow. Yami Malik doesn’t even care about Malik and
nothing about people Malik cares about. you don’t want to cross Yami Malik’s path if you value
your life."
Malik doesn’t have
much control over his Yami but he does try to fight it as shown with his
support for Yami Bakura when the two Yami fought against each other. At the
end of Yami Malik’s duel with Yami Yugi, Malik was able to take control of
his own body and destroy Yami Malik once and for all.
After the dueling is over, Malik promises Yugi that next time they meet, they will be friends and disappears, presumably to Egypt.
Oh by the way, Malik means 'King' in Arabic...interesting, no?...Especially when considering Yami is the "Pharoah"...

Name Analysis
MALIK
His first name of Malik creates individuality, independence, self-confidence, initiative, and an inclination to physical activity. He is not inclined to merge his opinions and viewpoints with others, to accept compromise, or to work in a subservient position against his will. His expression is invariably quite direct and candid, and lacks the moderating tone of tact, diplomacy, and friendliness. Others find it difficult to accept his domineering (*bursts out laughing* Malik? domineering?? you've GOT to be kidding...) and, at times, argumentative manner. His circle of friends is restricted to those of like nature. Once friendship is established, he is very loyal and steadfast and does not tolerate gossip or criticism. In his close associations and family life, there is little demonstration of sentiment, appreciation, sympathy, or encouragement. It is difficult for him to find the right words for such circumstances. Weaknesses in the health caused by this name centered in the head.
ISHTAR
Ishtar gives him a very independent nature, yet he is friendly, approachable, and generous. He can be a spontaneous, expressive, and talkative person. Generally he is good-natured, though at times he can be rather blunt and sarcastic. This name incorporates creative, artistic, and musical abilities, and there would be an element of originality in all that he does. He likes to do things on the spur of the moment without planning or prior arrangements. His spirits are buoyed up greatly by encouragement and appreciation. There is a tendency to be scattering in his efforts and he prefers to avoid menial jobs of a routine and repetitive nature. He is inclined to pursue good times and emotional indulgences to excess. Weaknesses in health due to the influence of this name center in the head. He could experience headaches, or difficulties with his teeth, ears, eyes, or sinuses. Disorders related to the liver, which would be aggravated by rich foods, could also arise.
FOR AN ALTERNATIVE: MARIK
The name of Marik gives him a very individual, reserved, serious nature. He sticks stubbornly to his ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; he is not willing to accept a compromise. He prefers to be alone with his own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of his verbal expression. When he is required to express himself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, he feels awkward and embarrassed. Although he realizes perfectly well what is expected of him, he is unable to find the right words, and hence he ends up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. He can express his deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing. His friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept his rather straightforward yet reserved manner. He is steadfast and loyal, and does not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom he accepts in friendship. He finds satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines. This name can adversely affect the health of his respiratory organs, the heart and lungs. Also, he are prone to suffer from weaknesses centering in the head.
Hmm, they all have one thing in common: weakness in the head. I wonder if insanity is considered a 'weakness of the head' ?
