Personality
Here's where it turns into a twist of surprises. He is poetic and sweet, always compromising with everyone and never carrying the flair or air about him that would ever tell anyone that he was better. In fact, he enjoys humbling himself. That is not to say he doesn't have a very dominant presence about him. Though he certainly is not overbearing, loud and tyrannical – nor does he exercise control in an oppressive way, that is unjust and severe in his treatment of the people around them and will not enforce with threats of physical punishment and with no thought for anyone but himself. On the other hand, he is a who exercises complete control but it is done in a more subtle way, with influences and thoughts rather than threats and physical punishments.
His dominating persona is popular within the scene and often makes time for everyone, and more importantly, does not belittle others, no matter what others may think. He treats everyone with respect and kindness, but does not suffer fools and is not afraid to speak his mind and tell someone off should it be necessary.
He also tries to be non-political, as far as is possible, not entering into arguments or disagreements, but instead is more likely to act as a pacifier and an arbitrator in an effort to diffuse the situation rather than inflame it.
And of course with this, comes the “tall poppy” syndrome.
There are jealous people in every group or society, people who are consumed with it and who will try to discredit someone at every opportunity.
However, once his temperisbreached, it can be very severe.
At times when he is alone, he is a thoughtful person, who does the right thing--maybe not when it exactly presents itself--but eventually. He is unselfish but generous. He's jealous at times and others very dedicated and persevering.
A lot of students steer clear of him, for stories told about how badly had 'mauled' his real father for abusing his mother and threatening to do the same to his baby sister. He is very protective of his kid sister and often chooses to stay home rather than go out and have a life of his own because he wanted to watch over his sister, he also has been noted to harass and even get into fights with other male students who had hit their girlfriends.
Despite his obvious lack of enthusiasm for anything unrelated to mechanics, women, football---essentially anything but school work, he is incredibly bright. Capable of writing out complex algorithms in his head, with an IQ of 178 he gifted with genius like brilliance. He just doesn't use it to its full capacity.
Without a doubt he is most known for in school for his habitual smoking, especially in the auto-shop and his car--a solid black two-door 71' Dodge Charger with four-hundred ninety torque and four-hundred twenty-five horsepower--426 V8 Hemi engine that he built from scratch. It was the envy of the school and often he would burnout in the back parking lot for the younger students leaving only a trail of thick blue smoke behind him much to their excitement.
Appearance is Description
Tyriel is a rather attractive athlete and mechanic. He usually has a five o'clock shadow from his shaved beard. Short, spiky blondish brown hair, and deep chocolate brown eyes that the freshmen and junior girls fawn over. He also has a tattoo in Japanese down the side of his six-pack.
In school he could usually have been found in three places if not in a classroom; weight room, out on the football field or the auto-shop. His hands are rough and calloused from years of torque wrenches and football practice. But football was not the only sport he played. He was also in the military class, on the swim team, and the wrestling team.

Bio
Many are surprised to know that Tyriel's life was not as it would seem. True enough, he was well off in terms of his family's bank accounts. But that didn't stop him from abstaining to work hard for whatever he achieved in his life. Add to that factor of selfish condescending nature being forced upon him, Tyriel's father was a drunkard and a mean one. Over the course of his young life Tyriel tried man times to kill himself--not what you'd expect from a star center fielder. However once his baby sister Dakota was born, a protective side had activated and during one of his father's drunken tirades, he went after his mother and in extension his baby sister. Much controversy came after the trials where he was sent for a time to prison for manslaughter as he was sixteen for the alleged killing of his father. Oddly enough it was in here that Tyriel formed a very close bond with his baby sister Dakota. By the time he got out and resumed school as normal--he had an unbreakable bond with his sister. One that would make him strive to give her a better future.
