"Don't embrace mediocrity; its main charm is to make you fall in love with failure. Speed off . . . Excellence awaits you at the end of your journey.."

Tynan Teach is an original character created by WeissSchnee. He is a member of Team PYRT and alludes to Blackbeard.

Appearance
Tynan is a tall, well built young man with tanned skin, black hair and striking black eyes with grey iris'. He often wears flashy clothing, sometimes prefering style over comfort and usually wears outfits that wouldn't be out of place in a trendy nightclub. Tynan considers himself extremely good looking, a sentiment that is apparently shared with many of his previous girlfriends and boyfriends.

Biography/ History
Tynan was born and raised in Vale. His father was a Huntsman who died of illness when Tynan was very young and his mother was a former member of a street gang who later became an accountant. Tynan's early life was tough. He and his mother lived in a small appartment above a pizza store and had very little money. Tynan's mother went to school during the day and worked as a cleaner by night. This left Tynan to amuse himself most days after school, which of course ment he often got up to no good.

Even as a young boy, Tynan had great physical strength and used that to his advantage when he began what he called a "protection service". He would work as a bodyguard for the more vaulnerable people in Vale, the poor and the homeless that the Vale PD were too 'busy' to look out for. These people were always greatful and would pay Tynan however they could, wether it be with food or information or 'appropriated' goods.

Tynan eventually enrolled at Signal Academy, relishing the idea of the new challenge of training to become a Huntsman. He kept up his protection details though and it was during one of these that he met and befriended Reed Every. They soon became the unlikliest of friends and Tynan and his mother invited Reed to come and live with them. Tynan eventually graduated Signal and applied to Beacon Academy. He passed the entrance test and, after meeting up with Reed during initiation, he became a member of Team PYRT.

Tynan  and his team were returning from a mission when the chaos in Vale began. They assisted in defending the safe zone and stayed in the city afterward to clear out Grimm.

Personality
Tynan is very flirtatious and charming with a usually laid back personality. He doesn't take too much seriously and has stated that he simply lives to enjoy life. Tynan has also showed at times that he has a good heart and can, surprisingly, be thoughtful and insightful. He often gives advice straight from the heart, sometimes when it isn't even asked for. Tynan has also showcased the ability to be quite manipulative, but he doesn't use this talent for anything sinister. He usually just uses it to push people's buttons and get a reaction from them. This is often directed towards Petra and usually requires Yale and Reed to break up the resulting fight.

In Combat
Tynan has a very much high risk/ high reward style of fighting. He is always in the thick of the action on the battlefield and his very physical style leads him to be able to deal quite a lot of damage very quickly and dispatch groups of enemies with ease. In combat, Tynan uses a pait of Dust Channeling Knuckle Dusters (DCKD) called Crossbones. Crossbones is a pair of heavy knickle dusters that have a chamber for different elements of Dust that stretches across the knuckles, and when Tynan's fists make contact with an enemy, it causes a small explosion of that element.

Aura: 

Tynan's Aura is a dark silver colour.

Semblance: 

Tynan's Semblance is called Shockwave. Tynan's Semblance allows him to expend a large burst of energy, causing a damaging shockwave in a radius of up to four meters that pushes enemies back and send them soaring into the air. The shockwave can be elementally augmented depending on the Dust Tynan is using in his weapons. Tynan can uses his Semblance as long as he has enough energy to do so.

Trivia
