Basic Statistics
Name: Tyler
Age: 18
Height: 5’10"
Eye Colour: Crimson
Hair Colour: Naturally black, streaked thick and thin with red.
Hair Style: Straight, cut jaggedly around jaw/chin length, usually falls in his eyes.
Skin Colour: Olive
Feral Representation: American Wolfdog
Fur Colour: Tyler's coat is mainly black, the boldness of his colour broken up by his hind paws bordered with dusky orange 'socks', one stripe of the same colour on either of his sides starting from the tip of his tail where they meet, spreading to line either side of his belly, and heading over his shoulders to meet at his breast in a v shape. He also has an orange mark upon the bridge of his nose in the shape of an Omega symbol.
Fur Style: Thinner towards his feet and ankles, medium over his sides, thicker on his tail, back and neck/throat.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Features: Tyler is equipped with a tattoo of a large Chinese Dragon spread over his left shoulder, partly heading down the left side of his chest, and also partly over his upper-left arm. The dragon is inked with red, and does not show up on his full Lycan form.
Build: Tyler's form is a thin one, due to his years lacking of nutrition, but hard work has set his muscles growing, and he has been rewarded with toned arms, back, stomach and legs.
Speed: Though his moves -for the most part, are cool, calculated and languid, Tyler can reach bursts of high speed at incredibly short notice. As a wolf hybrid, he can set at a trot for a very long time, as is the nature of a wolf, though he is not noted for long stretches or cross-country. All in all, he's more experienced in the shorter, faster runs.
Strength: Tyler has strength enough in his Human and Lycan forms to live day to day and win the occasional battle, though his Lycan attributes could use some exercise from lack of use.
Jewellery: Tyler has his right nipple pierced as well as his tongue, and has two piercings in the cartilage of each ear.
Outfit/Weapons: Befriended as he is to Slimm Jimm, I would never say Tyler is ever without a weapon of some sort -though they are mostly hidden, knives, spikes etc. He is deadly when in use of these items, and mostly prefers them to his animalistic nature when in battle.
Tyler's outfits are the clothes of an average teenage boy who is rather attracted to the darker side of things. Harley Davidson t-shirts, dark jeans, bondage pants, singlets and shirts -he doesn't care what he wears usually, it all ends up getting motor oil over it anyway.
Information: Tyler's history is a shady one. So shady that in all actual fact, he has blocked it from his mind. Memories before the age of eight are now locked forever behind the walls of his mind. Unknowing where he came from, who his parents were, and even what his given name is, Tyler seems to be rather lost in his personal life. His first memories are of a certain looming skeleton with wild grey hair -Slimm Jimm. Jimm took Tyler under his wing, and adopted him somewhat, taking him in and loving him as his own grandson. Tyler, rather enthused about the man's extensive knowledge for all things mechanical began to take lessons, and soon found an aptitude for the subject matter himself. Growing with no memories of his Feral past, he felt like a loner through the years. Even though Jimm would encourage his animalistic side, trying to teach the boy what he could about their race, it really was all in vain -Jimm himself being a human in the end. He had been introduced to Jimm's associates in the past, mostly in effor to make him feel like he belonged, but he never seemed to click with anyone. Until he met the gang from Matihao Whenua, and namely -Sheol. Still rather curious about his animalistic side, he began to mingle with the clan whenever they were visited by the members. Growing up around Ferals seemed to him to be an entirely seperate world than the one he had grown up with. He had really only known Jimm his entire life -that he could remember, at any rate. The girl Sheol seemed like a suitable friend to start with.
Sheol taught him about her side of things, her own shady past, and instantly, a link between them grew. Sheol was able to bring him out in accordance to his Lycan representation, teaching him that indeed he was not alone, and had no reason to feel that way.
They were soon inseparable. Friendship grew into respect for the pair, and sooner than anyone would have thought, their mutual respect grew into a relationship that would strengthen them both for years to come.
