Character Name: Tyki Mikk
Series: D. Grayman, the Manga!
Timeline: Right when the Noah attack the different branches of the Black Exorcists en masse.
Background: Okay, so. Take everything that you know about Noah's Ark and the Great Flood it was built for, and flip it on its ear. As it turns out, instead of being complacent with the mass genocide God would drop onto the world, monsieur Noah was rather more of the belief that people should live with their sins instead of being punished for them, and was therefore rather displeased with God's solution. In fact, this displeasure ran so deep, that each and every facet of Noah's "sins" bored itself into the very fabric of his DNA, to be passed along from descendant to descendant until a man by the name of the Millennium Earl surfaced and awoke it.
His aim, once each of the thirteen newly awakened members of the Noah family came into prominence?
Genocide.
Tyki Mikk is one of thirteen members of the Noah Family, and represents Noah's 'pleasure'. Unlike everyone else's rather base idea of 'pleasure', however, Tyki's idea of a good time pretty much revolves around brutally murdering whatever and whomever stands in the way of the Millennium Earl's plans. He does this -- artistically; beautifully; slowly -- by being able to 'reject' the world of god, essentially making parts of himself intangible and tangible whenever (and inside of whomever) he feels like it.
Tyki's also a hobo with a heart of gold, on his good, non-sociopath days. But don't tell anyone. The Earl would be rather...displeased to hear about it.
In the world of D. Grayman, there exist two diametric forces in constant struggle against one another -- the first, as I have already mentioned, are the Noah Family, who want to wipe all humans off the face of the Earth, while their opposition are the Exorcists: men and women belonging to a Vatican-led organization called the Black Order, who are also capable of using a "Weapon of God" called "Innocence," which is antithesis and "cure" to the Noah Family, as they are the only things capable of harming them. In the Manga, the main conflict between the two factions comes from the existence of the so-called "Heart," the most powerful piece of Innocence to ever exist, whose whole existence is tied to each other Innocence in a way that makes it so that if it were to ever be destroyed, every other Innocence in the world would also be destroyed.
Tyki takes his place within the "War" as the "Assassin" of the Noah family, leaving the Noah household once commanded by its head, the Millenium Earl, to hunt down and "delete" any Exorcists that are connected with a man named Cross Marian, one of the four Generals of the order that all the Exorcists belong to. During this period, he meets the series' protagonist, Allen Walker, and summarily befriends him in his White form, destroys his Innocence in his Black form, and has his Noah unleashed by an attack of Allen's during their first serious battle. Shortly after, he disappears for awhile along with the rest of the Noah, seemingly going into hiding only to reappear during an all-out attack directed against every branch of the Black Exorcists. His mission, this time, is to find and detain a boy by the name of Alma Karma, who is the source of of one of the Exorcist's latest weaponry.
Long-story short, bad things happen during this period, and Tyki ends up having to save Allen, of all people, from being tried and executed for his ties to the Noah family. This is where he is being drawn in from, shortly after Timcampi busts Rhode, Allen, and himself from the prison.
Personality: Much like the DC supervillain Two-face, Tyki Mikk has a White Side and a Black Side to him. Unlike Two-Face, however, both Sides of Tyki's life come not from his sociopathy, but stem from the fact that in one life, Tyki is suppressing the all-consuming need of his Noah to kill all humans, and in the other, he lives as most of the other Noah do. As each side is quite different from the other, I will do my best to explain the rather hideous dichotomy that makes Tyki who he is.
Tyki's White Side is...a hobo. There's really nothing else to it; this is the side Tyki uses to interact with humans on a very base, simple level, and because he is suppressing his Noah while in this form he has no need to gnash/rip.pretty-kill the people who gets in his way. Tyki's White Side is basically amicable, hard-working, sweet, friendly, and open to anyone and everyone; think of him like that guy you meet in a bar, who knows every bawdy song you've forgotten and buys and a round or two for everyone present before stumbling home himself.
In direct counterbalance to this is Tyki's Black Side, which is pretty much everything that Tyki's White Side is not. Suave, sensual, bangin' fashion sense, and quite deliriously thorough when it comes to killing, this side is side that Tyki serves the Millennium Count in, assassinating any and every person who gets in the Count's way with a rather...well, an almost sexual pleasure. He likes to toy with his opponents before killing them, and he absolutely loves nothing more then casual brutality, often leaving his victims alive just long enough to let them see him turn into his White Side before their deaths.
Neither side is an act. Both are simply two very diametric facets of himself.
Appearance: Tyki is 6'2 and weighs around 200lbs. His BLACK form has yellow, nearly golden colored eyes, dark, fine black straight hair and tanned skin, with features very nearly definable as sharply handsome. He carries himself with a calm and collected purpose, and decorates himself in the finest Victorian-era clothing he can find. His WHITE form is the exact opposite in almost every way -- his eyes are blue, his hair is curly and spastic, his skin is white, and the glasses he wears are so large as to make him seem even more innocuous. His face is unshaven, and the clothing he wears can be described as "ratty" at best; basically, he looks like a hobo.
POWER:
- The Ability to CHOOSE, which allows him to decide how he wants to interact with anything in creation, from becoming intangible and passing through walls and other solid objects to being able to walk on water, fly, or create a vacuum in an area by rejecting the air around it.
- SUPERNATURAL BODY; the descendants of Noah are: super strong, super fast, telepathically linked to one another, immune to all damage done to them unless the weapon contains "Innocence," and able to mentally control creatures called "Akuma" to an absolute degree. I am changing his inability to be damaged by the aforementioned substances so that weapons of ANY MAGICAL NATURE are able to harm him.
- Though this is another ability of the Noah family on the whole, I'll add it here to round out his three ability cap: the Noah are able to manipulate a type of energy called "Dark Matter" to create blasts of energy capable of not only killing others, but also capable of destroying the very same "Innocence" located in weapons designed to destroy them. The "Tease" Tyki uses -- supernatural golem which eat people, shoot lasers, etc -- are not a superpower, but are being lumped into this third cap as an extension of his ability to use Dark matter

COMMUNITY POST (FIRST PERSON) SAMPLE:
[ Private; self ]
Ah. It seems that the Ark -- misfired? Shattered? No. The end was not so disastrous. And neither Road or the Count stand in sight to be held accountable for wherever I am.
Hm.
Is this his idea of a joke, I wonder? "If I send Tyki-pon (heart) to the farthest, most advanced corner of the earth, (heart), perhaps he will learn something of worth (heart-heart)?"
I suppose there's not much to do but wait for the rest of the family to arrive.
--Wait. Humans.
[ / Private ]
[ He clears his throat. Loudly. There's a sound of someone saying very angry things in the back ground. ]
Hello out there ow! My name is Tyki Mikk ow, and I...appear to be lost? Ow. Ow. Ow.
[ A pause. ]
--Yes, I appear to be very lost! And the nice old lady currently beating me with her walking stick seems to be at a loss for words when it comes to giving newcomers directions! Ow. Does anyone know where I can go to get some food? Ow; could you stop that? Preferably for free and sans nice old crazy people?
Wait, no: I didn't mean it...!
LOGS POST (THIRD PERSON) SAMPLE:
Tyki Mikk is thinking.
The horrible, insane truth of the world is that, for every action? For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. There exists a karmic balance. Yin and Yang. Good and Evil. Black and White. Push and Pull. Etcetera, and Non.
Tyki is a fan of balances. It is why he puts up with David and Jasdero so often, coddling the latter while making sure that the former, who is the eldest, and therefore prone to making mistakes, knows that he is the only thing keeping his brother from becoming nothing more than a slavering idiot. He is -- or tries to be, or is forced to be -- the glue that holds the Noah together; their pleasure, happiness and heavy-handedness all tied into one neat, top-hat wearing package, so that when the Count sends him away from them, he knows that they will do nothing stupid in his absence.
Family is, after all, three-parts fearing those older than you, and one-part thinking that they are God.
At night, he tucks Rhode in to bed, and kisses her forehead seven times -- one kiss for each of the crosses marred into her flesh, Stigmata-like -- whispering seven words beneath his breath with each kiss, so that his nieces knows that she is "Beautiful," "Intelligent," "Witty," "Imaginative," "Vicious" "Unyielding" and "Perfect," spoiling her rotten because it is his prerogative. He then turns around to kill whatever man has found his way into Lulubelle's arms for the night because this is also his prerogative, and Lust without rules to adhere to is merely Pleasure, which is his department.
Family without boundaries is merely incest, after all.
Skin Bolic and Cyril are the only members of the Noah that he has no attachment to -- Skin, because he is American, and crass, and ungentlemanly, which is anathema to everything that Tyki is while in this form ( though, perhaps, there is a reason for this, and he has yet to find the proper counterbalance to it), while Cyril, the eldest, remains a mystery simply because of how mired in politick he is. There is no real attachment between the three because, at the end of the day, Skin and Cyril are two things that Tyki cannot be: open to the point of naivete, and a pretender who has convinced everyone around him that he is something that he is not.
Tyki is a being of balance. Of Yin and Yang. He knows this of himself, and lives his lives accordingly.
On Sundays, dressed as man without a penny to his name, beard thick and glasses even thicker, Tyki goes to church. He does not pray, but he does listen, and unlike most of the other Noah, he has gotten very good at this.
"Today's sermon revolves around need, friends. Let us open our hearts, and unfurl our ears to listen."
The human machine is a very, very efficient one, he thinks, sitting there in the back most pew as prayers fall from lips and hallelujahs are offered up to the sky. They kid themselves in believing that they know of the things that they speak of, that they are correct in assuming the things they assume, and every part of their culture beats these two arrogant "facts" into their brains until they are sheep to them, which was an insult more to every species of sheep than it was to species of human.
Tyki had herded sheep, before. They were not so dumb as to believe themselves more than animals.
Once the sermon is over, he usually approaches the priest, and offers up thanks, encouraging the man to continue his good work.
Faith without belief is simply bullheadedness, after all.
The next day? He will kill four exorcists in cold blood.
Balance.
FINAL NOTES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
If the first person seems off, it's because Tyki is using his WHITE SIDE to speak after the private ends; also, for all intents and purposes, Tyki's WHITE side and BLACK side are entirely different people -- they look differently, have different skin colors, speak differently, and usually are not able to be linked together simply by physical aspects alone.
