The flirt, the social butterfly, the intrusive presence in special moments. Ty could easily be summed up by a long sigh and a shake of the head. Filled with energy almost constantly and preferring to be in the presence of other people at all times, itâs hard to not experience Ty in all his shimmering glory at some point. While not a bad person, often doing his best to make sure everyone is included and going out of his way to help someone in need, heâs generally a hard person to stay around for any length of time. He wears people out just by being around them, a by product of his exuberant nature and something that he either canât or wonât shut off. Underneath though, heâs a competent leader, tactician and strategist who sometimes (read: always) uses his gifts to get close to those he would deem attractive.

âI canât help that youâre amazingly beautiful, if you didnât want my attention, you should have been born ugly.â
A man with a constant smile and swagger to his step, a beaming personality filled with an exuberance that rivals even the most optimistic people in the world. Unfettered by impending doom, danger or any sense of threat, Ty is truly a person who can keep his cool in practically any situation and think both inside and outside the box. Being a beacon of sunshine in a dark world, Ty does his best to bring light to anyone and everyone around him, regardless if they appreciate his presence. Filled to the brim with an energy derived from unknown sources, it is rare to catch this guy sleeping or even resting, as he seems to be driven by an unquenchable desire to be doing something exciting or otherwise worthy of his attention. With nothing but a laugh and a mix of a warcry and scream of excitement, Ty will leap into the fray without a momentâs hesitation.
A notorious flirt, Ty has been described as âsomeone who will chase anything with two legs and a pulseâ, and this includes men as well. He doesnât seem to be deterred by sex, seeing everything and everyone as a potential target for his affection even if they are quite clear that they donât care nor want his forward intentions. With nothing but a laugh and a beaming smile bright enough to blind creature and person alike, he moves forward unfettered by these rebuttals, intent on making the whole world his harem it would seem. Whether this is his genuine goal or he sees it as nothing but a game is truly a question that goes unanswered, as he is more than capable of turning it off at a momentâs notice to focus on the more important matters at hand.
It would be too much to say that a switch has been flipped, as his personality remains largely the same. Shouting out flirtatious quips when the moment dies down, or smiling at an otherwise unwinnable situation, but Ty displays an adequacy for strategy and tactics that would seemingly be out of place for someone as carefree as him. Full of situational awareness and a keen eye, Ty has more than once accurately deduced a weakness before it was fully evident, and capitalized on it. This, along his infatuation with practically everyone on a...more than a professional manner, means heâs aware of everyoneâs strengths and weaknesses. This allows him to pick people for the right job and allocate them accordingly. If one can get past his constant romantic advances and overly enthusiastic personality, theyâll find themselves a reliable leader with a strong record of beating the unbeatable.
That being said, there are a couple of things that Ty isnât particularly good at. Boundaries would definitely be one, considering he often wants to be close to people regardless of their particular feelings towards him. Heâll often intrude on private moments because he wants to be where the action is, even if itâs something quite sensitive. His constant advances have become annoying on more than one occasion and people often need to take a break from him in order to recharge their own social batteries as he can wear people out with his presence alone. On top of this, Ty doesnât handle being alone very well. Heâs a social creature, and constantly requires company, even if that company doesnât want him there. In fact, one could call his greatest fear âisolationâ. While heâs not prone to panic, that would most likely be the closest he would get if he were cut off from people for any significant amount of time.
In the end, the reason Ty became a hunter isnât necessarily because he wants to be a Hero, but because he found something heâs good at. Fighting and Leading are things that come as easily to him as breathing does, while also allowing him to remain fit and otherwise a specimen to behold in order to allow his flirtatious behaviour some merit on its own. Saving people is always a plus, looking good while doing it and eyeing up all the veritable âcandyâ while doing so is probably his main goal as a hunter.

The name of the game is Light Absorption. Much like his personality, Tyâs semblance is directly linked to the amount of light heâs standing in. While within the presence of any lightsource, his aura will replenish faster than normal and can actually enter an âoverchargedâ state, almost like adding an extra battery to his own personal shield. He can either use this to simply buff his defensive abilities, taking extra hits and otherwise stand tall under an assault that would topple other hunters, or he can go on the offensive with it. At a low charge, he can make himself burn bright, making it hard to look at Ty as if he were the sun itself and potentially blinding anyone looking at him. At mid charge, he can add a plasma-type element to his attacks, hitting like his weapons were superheated. At max charge, he can expel his entire aura in order to produce a singular blast. Typically from his right hand (Although he can expel it from any limb), his arm will glow intensely before expelling a beam of light that burns hot, cutting a swath in front of him or whichever direction he happens to be aiming. Doing so expels all current energy from his aura and leaves him otherwise defenseless for a minute or so. Technically speaking, he can perform this attack at any charge level, but to varying results. Predictably, the most powerful blast comes from a fully charged âbatteryâ.
While Tyâs semblance charges faster under sunlight, artificial light works as well, although at a reduced rate (closer to 10%). So, as long as there is an actual light source that Ty can stand in, heâll be charging his batteries in some form or another. Even moonlight works, as it is simply a reflection of the sun, although only at half capacity.
Labelled The Kurahai Twins, Tyâs weapons are a dual set of mechanized Tonfas. Instead of the typical âbluntâ approach to these weapons, the attack sides of the Tonfas are bladed, long enough to cause a serious injury should he get a good hit in. Naturally, these weapons are also machine guns, spouting barrels from the short side of the weapons. These weapons are more than capable of spitting out a sizable chunk of lead in a matter of seconds, but can burn through their ammunition in just the same amount. His weapons are reloaded much like a cassette player, which unfortunately means that Ty isn't able to refill his ammo quickly. Typically, when he runs out of ammo, he has to disengage momentarily in order to resupply.
These weaponâs transformed state sees them combined into a minigun type weapon. In this form, the ammo feed changes to a belt system that Ty usually wears on his person like a bandolier. In this form, Ty is extremely limited in his melee capability as the belt feed hampers his ability to move the weapon any great amount. Instead, he can disengage the belt and utilize the weapon as a single sided double handed blade (example, not actual image of his weapon) to engage people in close quarters once more. In this final form, Ty sacrifices speed for power, which he mainly uses against the more heavily armored foes he comes across.

Ty is the product of a nearly broken home, but not in the sense that his parents didnât love him, but more in the sense that it was physically ripped apart at one point. Tyâs parents were your typical loving couple, caring deeply for each other and their child, and for most of Tyâs early childhood, everything was what one expected of the glory years of being young and unencumbered by the realities of the world. When Ty was 5 years old, his mother was killed in a White Fang terrorist attack which left his father devastated and Ty...well more or less confused. He wasnât quite old enough to fully understand what had happened aside from the fact that his mother wasnât coming back.
The next few years were tough for his father, who developed a drinking and gambling habit. Ty grew up more or less unaffected, and some people took this as a sign of potentially burying the issue, which could lead to serious psychological issues down the road. Instead, his fatherâs friends took it upon themselves to help fix Tyâs dad, and with their assistance they were able to get him back on the straight and narrow. This was a good thing too, as Ty was about to be pulled from his fatherâs care do to his inability to care for the child. When Ty was around 10 years old, his father met another woman and within a year they were married. Ty had a new mother, but like most step children, he had a problem looking at her like she was family. As far as he was concerned, she was a âfriend of the family who lived with themâ. He didnât hate her, but he couldnât bring himself to love her like a mother either. Instead, he ended up becoming rather distant with both her and his father, not out of malice but just out of general apathy and a seeming lack of comprehension regarding the situation. Ty knew at this point his mother was dead, and he had grieved in his own way, but this was just the way he was. As such, while he loved his dad and liked his step mom enough, they werenât particularly close.
When Ty hit puberty though, his entire demeanor changed as soon as his hormones kicked in. Ty had been a rather quiet kid for the most part, had enough friends to get by and wasnât lacking for much (at least once his father was back on his feet). When he started seeing people as potential targets for affection, it was as if a fire lit up in his chest and he absolutely refused to let it die down or even flicker. He became an extreme extrovert seemingly overnight, and pursued his âinterestsâ without remorse or, in some cases, caution. More than once, he sought the attention of a woman who was already dating someone, and got into more than one fight because of it. This is where he realized two things. One, that he was actually pretty damn good at fighting just from an instinctual level, and two...how attractive the boyfriend was when he was angry.
Not one to hide his feelings, Ty let pretty much everyone know that he cared not who or, in some cases, what you were. He could feel love for pretty much everyone under the sun, or at least his interpretation of love. His parents were admittedly confused at first, but their reaction was somewhat muted after that fact. After all, at this point they barely knew Ty and he was becoming more of an enigma to them each and every day. Seeking the easy road, Ty pursued his interests and what he was good at, respectively, everyone and fighting. When he signed up to Signal Academy, it was like walking into an all you could eat buffet. Almost everyone was physically at their peak and he could see himself enjoying his life quite a lot more if he stuck with this particular road.
Ty became known as the âplayboyâ by the polite and âwhoreâ by the...less than polite. He cared little, because in Signal, he excelled. His attention to details, you know what Iâm talking about, allowed him insight into those he would be going up against. Thinking of ways to take his enemies down came as natural to him as breathing, ideas flooding his mind like a waterfall with each and every move. People loved, liked, hated and absolutely detested him...but none could argue that he didnât deserve to be there. When he moved up to Beacon, it was with honors and more than a fine enough pedigree behind him. His weapons, crafted while at Signal, became his pride and joys, naming them the Kurahai Twins not because of something or someone, but because everything was better when twins were involved.
