Personality: One of the most important things to Tyki is his family which, in his eyes, are the other Noah besides himself. This especially is true for Road Kamelot, his adopted niece. He also generally gets along with the Millennium Earl without any consequences or signs of punishment when he is lazy, screws up, goes against orders, or fails missions. Even going so far as to call the Earl names or make jokes on his part, the Earl tolerates him to a high degree, even assigning him the adorable pet name of ‘Tyki-pon’. Largely because of this odd amount of acceptance and support, Tyki doesn’t seem to fear anything or anyone, enjoying and making the most out of the pleasures of a good fight. He enjoys the taste of apples and, even when portraying a gentleman, will eat a raw fish right out of a stream or pond.
Tyki was once human and, like every other human, contained the genes of Noah. Before the beginning of canon these genes awakened inside of his human body, and with them he obtained extraordinary powers and the supposed memories of Noah. Unlike his fellow Noah incarnations, he looked strangely like another Noah before him named Nea, though didn’t seem to have any recollection of how or why until Wisely (another Noah) mentioned it to him. His Noah memories give him a very deep and well-known hatred for God, Innocence, Exorcists, and humans. Contrary to that, Road calls it ‘frightening’ when the other Noah ask if it is hard for Tyki to kill humans when he has human friends. He generally is different from the other Noah, seeming more human and reluctant to acknowledge or accept the Noah (his is named Joyd ) inside of him to the point of repressing his Noah all together. Even the Earl was happier when Tyki’s Noah awakened further, remarking how he couldn’t wait to see more of it and claiming that Tyki had so much potential if only he would bond with it more.
Tyki carries on with both his dark (Noah) and light (human) sides. Once having obtained the title of Noah, most completely rid themselves of their former human sides. Having both sides is what Tyki considers fun and what makes life interesting and enjoyable, but he’s extra careful in keeping both sides apart as much as possible. Tyki doesn’t want to lose either his human or his Noah life.
His white side seems to be your everyday, average Portuguese joe on the streets. Working from job to job, he travels with three other friends, picking up any odd job to pay for their dinner for the night. In canon, their most frequent way of making a living was mining. Basically a hobo, he’s friendly to others around him and takes care of his friends, especially Eeze, the youngest of the group. Following that appearance of a wayward man, he generally looks fairly messy, from his bulky clothes to his shaggy, shoulder length broom-like hair. His speech changes hovers at an informal drawl, rude and full of slang. He seems generally happy and well off even with this choice of lifestyle. Not willing to accept handouts from Allen and not attacking Exorcists clearly marked with the official coat, his determination to stick to this way of life and keep both sides of himself apart shows clearly. As a side hobby, Tyki has fun gambling, mostly with cards at random places, or even on trains. When apart from his friends, he wonders how they are doing and hopes they are well off without him. Knowing he’ll be playing with his dark side a little more than usual, he remarks on how he cannot wait to see them again.
As for his darker side, Tyki is the Noah of Pleasure. Cleaner, neater, and formally dressed with a proper way of speaking, he portrays an upstanding gentleman well, bearing the title of Lord Tyki Mikk. Still rather laid back in his own way, he’d rather keep things at his own pace and, most importantly, to his own pleasure. As a good example, he complained that the distance was too far when the Earl wanted him to travel with him as his servant, but he was ready and willing to go immediately when given a list of names to ‘delete’. Cruel and cold, he enjoys killing humans, unlike his white self. His methods are rather sadistic, long and tortuous, usually ending with his victim and prey being thoroughly mocked, teased, and harassed. He wants them to know they are going to die and wants to see them fear him in their last moments. When Allen Walker doesn’t exhibit any fear at all when threatened with death from having his heart removed, it ruins Tyki’s mood completely. Another note to mention is that Tyki never really gets ‘serious’ during a fight until his Noah is threatened. Only then will he use powers he doesn’t normally utilize to protect it. At that point, his mind is focused only on the kill and his usual methods of teasing and taunting are removed.
Unfortunately, having two sides can cause a great deal of conflict, and Tyki will often contradict himself. At times he won’t lift a finger to save a person no matter how much they beg, and yet if he cares about the person, he’ll risk his life to save them. To some, he can be rather relaxed, sitting down to talk and share the information about himself and what he knows, before attempting to murder them in the next breath. Rather selfish, Tyki will usually only do and act on things that suit him over others, but he can be giving if he likes the person at the moment. Or if he is in the mood to be giving. Or if he is outright flirting. He’ll lie, cheat, steal and manipulate any situation to get what he wants. While he hates Exorcists, he seemed reluctant to hurt a female Exorcist when first confronted with them. Using a female mostly as bait, he goaded their fellow Exorcists with a threat to kill her but didn’t when given the right reaction. Blending usually occurs the most when it comes to his vices or the things that give him pleasure. As a human and as a Noah, he smokes, drinks and gambles- both with cards and the lives of others.
One of the biggest cases of contradiction yet again involves Allen Walker. While looking at the boy he generally makes Tyki want to punch him in the face. He often greets him with a warm smile and a small quirk or two upon arrival. When saving Allen within Black Order Headquarters, Tyki was a little jealous that the exorcist paid attention to Road more than him. Because Allen shows no fear towards him when they first meet while Tyki is in his dark side, he makes him suffer by tearing off his arm and allowing a Tease to bite a hole into his heart. He wanted Allen to bleed out slowly and die. Right before Tyki is exorcised, he tries in earnest to kill Allen again. Later on, when Allen is taken captive by the Black Order, Tyki breaks into their headquarters (along with Road) to rescue him from Apocryphos, ultimately risking his life against the dangerous weapon of Innocence.
Despite the contradictions, Tyki’s actions are usually taken on a whim no matter which side, light or dark, is currently on hand. This whimsical style of his is often influenced by who and what is around him at the time.
Flavor Abilities: His glamour usually allows him to blend in with normal humans by replacing his grey Noah skin with a soft tone of Portuguese brown. He can switch from grey skin to brown skin in an instant. While it also allows him to change forms from his White side(hobo appearance) to his Black side(noble appearance) I will be limiting this to his Black Side only as not to give him too much of an advantage of being able to switch clothes and forms.
He won't be able to change clothes and will be limited to changing his skin tone from grey to brown to grey again.
Suitability: Tyki is use to traveling a lot in both jobs he receives from the Earl or on job hunting missions as a hobo with his friends. As a noble he usually gets around with the use of the Earl's Ark but while at his destination he is often the information gatherer and hunter. Most of what he does is purely on a whim or if he's bored enough to want to. During his hunt for Innocence or Exorcists he is use to harden fights and extreme conditions from blood loss to pain. He can take out just as much as he can dish out. While snowblind doesn't have any monsters in its setting currently Tyki is a survivor and will do whatever it takes to do so.
As a hobo travels in his white side form he spent a lot of time scavenging for money, food, jobs and shelter with his three comrades/friends even if it meant spending a night around a fire barrel or the back of a train cart under hay. While he will dearly miss his family and their comfort and presence he can and will survive on his own or will seek potential people to travel with.
RP Samples: Sample One & Sample Two
ACCEPTED, NOTE
A single-story house with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. It's decorated in an old-fashioned style, with lots of ornate wood paneling and the like. The bed in the bedroom is a bit more modern, though, and is lofted to provide space for a desk underneath. A snowman has been built outside of this house.
