Tyrian Distel

Tyrian is the leader of Team CRTN and the would-be heir of his father's company. He is currently in his second year at Beacon Academy.

Appearance
Tyrian stands at a decent 5' 11" height and has a pale complexion with lots of spots. He is rather muscular and has a pointed nose. His hair is black in colour with a purple tint; it is longer at the front than it is at the back and is very straight. His eyes are a purpish-blue colour and he has kinda bushy eyebrows. He has a large scar that starts on his neck and goes down over the middle of his right shoulder blade. He also has a tattoo of a purple carnation on his left shoulder.

He wears a long purple cape fastened with two black buttons, these buttons have his emblem etched on. His other clothes are relatively simple. He wears a light purple t-shirt, black cargo pants, brown military style boots and a brown belt with a golden coloured clasp. He wears several rings on both hands and a gold necklace with a small crown charm.

Personality
To someone who doesn’t know him, Tyrian may seem overly sassy and a bit arrogant but to those who know him he’s a confident and determined guy, although he is still a big snarker. Tyrian is very open-minded, he treats everyone as an equal and is always willing to learn more about other cultures and races. He likes to think of himself as funny, although whether he is or not is totally up to your sense of humour. He also strives to be charitable and honest wherever he can, although he sometimes fails on these aspects.

Underneath his outward facade, Tyrian is a very anxious person, looking for approval from his peers and family. He is quite self-loathing, hating himself for being too much like his father and feeling as though he is a failure. He strives for a perfection that can never be reached. When caught alone he can sometimes be quite resigned and quite unlike how he is around other people. He is also prone to panic attacks caused by over analysing things he has done or said, these stem from his father’s near constant belittling of him but are caused by his anxiety. He can also be rather fickle.

Weapon
Tyrian's weapon is named Erskine.

This name comes from a Scottish surname meaning "upon the knife". It has two forms; a pistol and a knife.

The pistol form is based off a dag pistol. In this form the blade is stored on the top of the barrel. The trigger can be pushed forward to quickly spring out the blade and twist the handle to be straight.

Semblance
Tyrian can turn himself invisible for short periods of time, never more than 30 seconds. Although he can only do this for short periods of time it can really sway the tide of battle. He tends to use it to sneak closer to enemies, which suits his close-range combat style. It can drain his aura quite quickly so he only uses it sparingly.

Backstory
Hailing originally from Mistral, Tyrian was born (at the time Tyrian King) as the would-be heir of his father’s weaponry company, King’s Enterprises. Tyrian never really grew up with his father as he was always travelling on business trips, he was left with his mother who often told him stories of Huntsmen and grimm. At a very young age, Tyrian’s mother passed away due to illness.

During that time, Tyrian’s father was around more often. He disapproved of his son’s whimsical view of the world and decided to start training him to be his heir. To Tyrian it seemed that nothing he did pleased his father, no matter how hard he tried his father wanted more from him still. He wished for his father to treat him as an equal but instead he was looked down and screamed at for any small mistake. Tyrian grew to hate his father and even started to hate himself. This went on for many years until Tyrian’s father decided to enrol him to Sanctum Academy to “toughen him up”.

During this time Tyrian strived to be everything his father wasn’t. He hated how people assumed that they knew him just from his second name. He worked hard, placing high in his classes. Over the course of his training he realised that he enjoyed being a Huntsman and what that represented. He was expected to help his father with the weaponry business after his training at the primary combat school by Tyrian had other ideas.

He took the entrance exams for Beacon under the name Tyrian MacKenzie (his mother’s maiden name). He was accepted into the Academy, stole some money from his father and made his way to Vale. During initiation, he partnered with Rae Sawyer and became, much to his surprise, the leader of Team CRTN.
