PERMISSIONS FOR ME
Because Tyki is a bastard. This is pretty self-explanatory. Just comment here with the following form so I know all is good.
OOC
► backtagging: Go for it! I work a crazy schedule, so I actually prefer it!
► threadhopping: Threadhop away!
► subjects to stay away from: Chances are that you won't offend me. But if you think you might, just ask.
IC
► flirting with this character: WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO. By which I mean, yes. He may or may not flirt back.
► hugging this character: Again. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO. But if you want to try, be my guest -- he'll probably just let you phase through him.
► kissing this character: SEE: above.
► fighting this character: You can try~ Generally, I ask for a lot of coordination for these kinds of things, because Tyki is a troll and will likely let anything you have to throw at him pass right through him. He's also lazy. But if the cards fall just right, I'm always game for this.
► injuring this character: SEE: above. Again, it's very hard to hurt him, given his penchant for passing into the ground.
► killing this character: If you can get close enough to him -- sure! Just discuss with me; it makes things way easier.
► using telepathy on this character: You'll get a mindfuck. GO FOR IT.
► warnings: Tyki is a bastard, okay. No, really. He takes pleasure in gambling, women, sex, drinking, torture and killing. His motto for himself, literally, is "I destroy what I love. I love humans." Life is nothing but a big game to him, and he'll toy with it for as long as there is entertainment in it. And he'll generally makes a show of it. This is something to keep in mind, if your character wants to befriend him -- he is not always the most trustworthy person, and he's likely to turn on you at the drop of a hat.
KINKS
► yes: -- yes. Tyki loves sex.
► maybe: Generally, he'll try most anything once. With the exception of extreme things that might make him raise his eyebrows.
► no: He isn't into men. Sorry, dudes. He won't even fancy a passing glance, and will, in fact, react rather violently if one were to hit on him. Not that he cares if that floats anyone else's boat -- it just doesn't float his.
► orientation: Heterosexual. Very. Heterosexual.
STATS
► powers/abilities:
Phasing: Being the Noah of Pleasure, Tyki possesses the ability to "Choose" what he can and cannot touch. This can make him completely intangible to solid matter, allowing it to phase through him without so much as an afterthought. Furthermore, it also allows him to walk across water and air as though it were solid ground.
Reject: On the opposite end of Choice's spectrum, Tyki can also reject the atmosphere at a certain radius, essentially creating his own personal vacuum and leaving enemies with a lack of oxygen. While in this rejected atmosphere, Tyki can still move around comfortably, surrounded by his own atmospheric bubble within the vacuum.
Tease: The Tease are carnivorous butterfly-golems gifted to Tyki by the Millennium Earl to supplement his ability to Choose. Using Choice, Tyki can insert a Tease into his opponent's body without damaging their skin and command it to eat, making for either a slow death, as seen in his attempted murder of Allen Walker, or a quick one, as is the case with Suman Dark. The Tease feast on corpses, growing larger and stronger the more they eat. Tyki keeps an army of the things inside his own body using Choice, which he unleashes when he's feeling particularly nasty. Not just weapons, the Tease can also be used as shields or energy blasts.
Dark Matter: As a Noah, Tyki has complete control over Dark Matter (the opposite of Innocence) Like some of the Tease, Tyki can use the Dark Matter as a shield, or blast it at his enemies.
► weaknesses: Just about the only thing that Tyki cannot reject or phase is Innocence, the opposite of Dark Matter. I'm willing to bend the rules a little bit, if your character wields something of holy power -- but it's best if we discuss this beforehand, just to make sure headcanons match, etc.
► personality:
Tyki lives two distinctly different lives that he "escapes" to, depending on his whims and mood. Note: This is not a split personality; merely just an exponential shift in desires, whims, mannerisms. Regardless of whether he's living his white life, or his black life, Tyki is still Tyki. Being the Noah of Pleasure, it allows him to flit seamlessly between both ends of the social spectrum; essentially, he strives to have his cake and eat it too.
That said, he will not be readily recognizable between his two lives. While I realize that some characters will be more receptive to the similarities than others -- canonically Tyki fools characters that have even a perfect memory. I do ask that you exercise a bit of caution when your character talks to him. If you think your character will know spot on who he is as he drifts between his lives -- let me know. (Note: Not counting those characters who were familiar with him previously.)
White Life: While in white mode, Tyki is very much just one of the guys, your run-of-them-mill average joe. He spends his white life as a hobo, hopping from place to place with a small, close-knit band of traveling vagabonds looking for odd jobs during the day and a place to hobopile at night. He's cheerful and easy-going, meeting every obstacle that life throws his way with carefree amusement and making the most out of every curveball that life throws his way. A born and bred gambler and risk-taker, Tyki loves the thrill of not knowing what's going to happen next, whether it's when he's going to get his next meal or going to win his next poker hand; and he isn't above cheating, scheming, or plotting to get what he wants - just so long as said cheating, scheming, and plotting is relatively harmless. At the end of day, however, he's a hard worker, his white-life friends mean the world to him. He wouldn't ever want to do anything to hurt them.
There's lot to be said about who he is in the way he dresses and carries himself in both of his lives. When he's hobo-ing it up, Tyki has a tendency to wear workman's clothing that have definitely seen better days: usually patched pants held up only by a pair of suspenders, a raggedy shirt, dirty glasses and fingerless gloves. His hair is usually kept down in a wavy mop, and he's hardly ever without a cigarette between his lips. He saunters when he walks, slouches when he sits, and sprawls out in every direction when he's laying back. Just a travelin' man looking for his place in the world for himself and his friends, is probably the most accurate description of Tyki in his white life.
Black Life: In stark contrast to his white life, Tyki spends his black life as a refined gentleman, having tea in the garden with fellow politicians (his fellow Noah, Cyril Kamelot, for example) in the afternoons, and attending galas and dinner parties at night. He's snarky, vain, and very collected, taking a lackadaisical interest in the world and its happenings around him. Still very much a gambler and risk-taker, there is a shift in his demeanor and mannerisms that gives him a dangerous edge, like a shark circling the waters.Just as he enjoys gambling while in white mode, Tyki also enjoys gambling while in black mode; the stakes are simply higher: rather than gamble for money, clothes, or food, Tyki rather likes gambling for lives. He enjoys killing, the thrill of the hunt, and the rush he gets from making chase. To Tyki, there's no greater pleasure than to feel the delicate strands of life snapping beneath his fingers. His loyalties remain strictly to the Noah family, and he holds little to no disregard for anyone not a part of it.
Like in white mode, how he dresses and carries himself in his black mode does say a great deal as to who he is. In black form, Tyki dresses and acts like a Victorian gentleman. Pressed slacks, glossy shoes, overcoat, vest, tophat and gloves. He carries himself with an air of confidence, walks with purpose, and (usually) sits straight and proper - although he isn't above slouching. Instead of hobopiles, Tyki is rather a lone wolf, and prefers to be alone.
The rest of his characteristics are fairly consistent between both lives. Though not educated, he is rather clever, sharp, and observant when he chooses to be; it's all just a matter of motivating him enough to do so, and very little, save for a nice meal (white life) or an Exorcist strung up on a lamp post (black life) will motivate him. It's easy to mistake him for being dumb or simple, in that respect. Sarcasm and double-entendre are his best friends, and it's usually difficult for someone to figure out whether he's lying about some things, purposely misleading about others, and telling the truth about everything else.
It should be noted that Tyki will strive to keep his lives completely separate, even going so far as to claim that someone is mistaken, should they try to point out that he was a hobo last week. There's a reason that he lives two lives: Tyki prefers to have his cake and eat it too. He prides himself on his ability to make the world his little personal sandbox, and he enjoys playing it however he sees fit with every fibre of his being.
