But It's Better If You Do

Tyr Carlquist

The caring, quiet-mannered, super-powered Swede. Probably my favorite guy character of mine, though possibly tied with Ryan...either way, it's a close one. He doesn't have a character sheet yet, which is probably because I've only drawn him a handful of times and never pixelled them. I don't trust anyone to do him justice yet--including myself--so I'm not sure when I'll be ordering commissions of him. (EDIT: Current waiting on the first! XD) ;) I do still love him so, though, so he gets a text-based character sheet for now.

Name: Tyr Carlquist

Eye Color: Pale blue

Ethnicity: Swedish

Physique: Tall and athletically lean, AKA not skinny, but not overly muscular.

Power: Able to use strong, dense gusts of air to slice through solid objects based on how much air movement his own body can make.

Pros: Extremely useful for physical fights. | Can be used for little things, like an invisible pocket knife. | Easy to manipulate the strength of the gusts. | Has a better range and distance than physical weapons.

Cons: Limited strength of gusts; the strongest he can create can slice through nearly anything, but requires him to literally jump off a building—which he isn’t too keen to do. | Not much more advantageous than a physical weapon. | Causes more physical exertion during a fight. | Not sustainable, considering it uses air flow and once that flow is gone, he needs to create more.

Personality: Soft-spoken; less from shyness and more from his philosophy to only speak if you actually have something to say. Somewhat aloof, aside from when he’s around close friends. Not self-conscious either way—negatively or arrogantly—and also doesn’t tend to compare himself to others, which is possibly the only reason he’s not arrogant in the slightest about his own indisputable good looks. Gentle and kind. Protective. Quietly intelligent.

Relationship Status: Devoted to an Irish-American girl named Tyne Adams, also a Power.

Occupation: Student and member of “Active Team,” a sort of police unit of Powers. Volunteers as a demonstrator in Active Team classes.

Location: Currently lives in an 11th floor apartment with Tyne and her best friend Sirina, both also Powers, in Jersey City, New Jersey (on the outskirts of NYC)

Hair: Short-cropped blonde, naturally somewhat spiky; often worn in a slight fade (buzzed near his neck and getting longer the farther up his head it is.).

Clothing: Casual. Can often be found in work-out clothes or just an undershirt, but is fond of loose-fitting, button-up shirts and loose jeans. Tends to wear light colors. One would be hard-pressed to find him in a tie even at formal occasions.

Other: Work-out freak due to his honest desire to be fit and ready for anything rather than looking good. Doesn’t bulk up as much as most who work out as much as he does would, however, due to low-calorie diet to ensure speed.
