Tyler is around 5'7" and 151 pounds. Pale and with a mature, slender appearance, he is often mistaken as being older than he actually is. His build in general makes him appear kind and friendly, though all it takes is a straight face and focused eyes and he can look ready to kick anyone's ass. He generally brushes his light-brown hair forward in front of his cyan-blue eyes for convenience's sake, though he has also parted it in the middle on more formal occasions. Apparel-wise, while his wardrobe is not the prettiest or most varied, it gets the job done in Tyler's eyes. He always wears dark-grey and black-coloured hiking shoes, dark blue relaxed-fit jeans, a black ankle-length duster, and a simple shirt - often blue, though he has worn other darker colours on occasion. For practical and personal reasons, he wears a black-strapped silver wrist-watch on his right hand, and usually carries a black music player in his coat pocket. He also has a silver ring on his left ring finger, though he insists he isn't 'technically' married. Generally, Tyler's looks are nothing out of the ordinary, appearing like any other normal, modern human being.
____________________________________Personality____________________________________
In Tyler's case, the clothes do not make the man. His personality is better described as two opposite sets of traits oddly blended together. One side is a quiet, cool-headed, intellectual, mature individual with a logic-driven line of thought. The other is the virtual opposite: expressive, emotional, youthful and energetic, following a more instinctual thought path. The mix of the polar opposites makes Tyler's behaviour pretty eccentric - in one situation he can be calm, or emotional, or a combination of the two. The dual personality makes choices difficult for him, though as a bonus, he is particularly adept at looking at both sides of anything. Of course, not all of his behaviours are so unpredictable or linked to his dual nature. Logic-driven or not, he does have a genuine concern for people, especially those that are close to him. Music is one thing he always has on him, and he also has a fondness towards swordplay and dancing. He is generally anti-social, dislikes large crowds or being photographed, and swimming is out of the question. He also suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, which is possibly the root cause of his odd behaviour.
____________________________________Abilities____________________________________
[While he is still technically human, Tyler has a unique sense of his spirit dubbed Awareness, which is what makes him a wizard. Normally, this would give him a huge range of mystical abilities. Instead, Tyler's lack of experience has left him with only the ability to control Superstrings - extremely tiny vibrating strings of energy that make up basic matter particles. The most practical use of this is the creation and dissolution of his sword, Kyratine. Aside from that, he is able to link these Strings together into longer prehensile strands, which ends up generating high amounts of heat and golden light energy around them. This heat energy alone makes the strands themselves exceptional weapons, but their thin diameter also means that he can form blades and points by collecting and specifically arranging them. Of course, they are still strings, and like any other kind of rope, he is able to wrap them around an object and control said object with the Strings. Strangely, they can also affect space-time - he can wrap them around a point in thin air and manipulate his own velocity like anything else. The ability isn't without its limits: he cannot create String connections outside of a ten foot radius, and he often requires high amounts of concentration - usually with a corresponding physical movement - to control them properly. The String connections themselves can also be severed by bladed weapons or high amounts of tension, turning the entire strand back into ordinary particles.
____________________________________Weapons____________________________________
Tyler isn't usually one to pack around a closet full of guns on his person. The only weapon he has is a single sabre-longsword hybrid which, despite its fancy appearance, is more than battle ready. Measuring forty-eight inches, the weapon is light-weight enough to be wielded single-handed by an ordinary human like Tyler. The ornate, golden, wing-like design of the cross-guard contains a single sapphire sphere embedded in the centre, and has an additional sweeping hand-guard to add on the sabre appearance. The silver blade, with a custom-designed fuller, is generally straight-edged to reap the benefits of a longsword - cutting and thrusting specifically. Rather than a traditional, rounded pommel, the handle continues past the hand-guard, providing extra single-handed balance and room for two-handed use. While lacking any professional experience, Tyler generally has enough ingenuity and imagination that he can use the weapon with surprising effectiveness. [x]
____________________________________Background____________________________________
Tyler's early history is about as normal as anyone would expect. Born in Vermilion City, the eccentricities in his personality shined early on, setting him off from his peers. At the age of twelve, his parents split up, leaving Tyler with his mother and her new boyfriend in a new home. They relocated annually over the next few years, making him an outsider in each new town. The ordeal ended at fifteen when he moved back to Vermilion with his father. It was at his old home that he found the Aurum Grimoire and, as the name would imply, his life took a supernatural turn. Despite hiding the fact as best as possible, he wasn't the only one who knew about the Grimoire, and quickly found himself targeted by a rogue wizard named Kyrian. The efforts would be in vain as Tyler and his father were killed in a vehicle collision some months later and the Grimoire disappeared from the face of the Earth. Of course, the story was far from over - even in the next life, his connection to the Aurum Grimoire made him the primary subject of a deluded plot of spiritual conquest headed by Kyrian. Carrying fragmented memories of his past life, his quest to find out the truth lead him back to Earth, and then back to the afterlife again - which turned out to be an artificial construct of Kyrian's design that was later destroyed to restore nature to its original form. After going through the tribulations of birth and death more than once, and becoming a 'hero' in his own right, he settled down in the mortal realm once again. Specifically, in the city of Canberra, with his formerly-long-distance girlfriend who also had also gained some small amounts of mystical power and who he now relies on for distance travel via teleportation. While his status as an official citizen of Australia is unsure, one thing is for certain: his search for answers to his life is far from over.[/font][/color]
