Name:
Tysen von Nikad

Age:
15

Physical Appearance:
Very tall, but not brawny. Big, brown eyes, dark brown hair. Walks very fast, but rarely stands up completely straight.

Personality:
Is strictly governed by emotions, and rarely by thought. He likes to have fun and to play, but is not a participant, and is definitely not an organizer. When he says something smart, nobody hears. He is very charismatic, so people like and trust him easily. He also likes psychologically testing people.

Attitude:
Rarely shows his emotions, hiding them deep within. Not very good at understanding or interpreting gestures, and fears when people use them to relate to him. (i.e. if someone puts a hand on his shoulder, he will be cautious and won’t know what it means)

Brief History:
Tysen is the son of a whore and a soldier or a priest (his mother was never quite sure which). His mother never really cared about him, but his host was quite nice, giving him food secretly, while his mother was too drunk to find out. Unfortunately, he exploited and womanized his mother.

When be became a little older, Tysen started working in the stables. It was a hard job, but he enjoyed it. In his free time he was with older boys, playing in the streets, committing petty thefts and stealing little things. To him, this was nothing but a game, but for them it was a matter of life and death; they needed the things they stole, but if they were caught it was punishable by death.

Stealing was made easier when he used his Mindspeech. He could make sure that no one was watching them, which kept them from getting caught; this was made easier because their small town had no mages for a very long time. Stealing was a fun game!

For an illegitimate child, everything was going quite well for him. But then a series of misfortunes befell him; first his mother died. This was no matter to him, because he could never have loved someone who never talked to him, never held him, never even said she loved him. She might have been the woman who gave birth to him, but his true mother was the street. But shortly thereafter, something happened that changed his life. That morning he saw a rich, fat man dressed in regal gowns in the streets. Thinking he was a typical, stupid merchant. But when he and his friends attempted to rob him, they realized their dire mistake. A mage had been standing nearby, and he had seen them, though Tysen had not been able to notice him through his shields. Wasting no time, the man had begun to shout, “Thieves!” They tried to escape, but the men were too fast, and they were soon surrounded.

They caught his friends, but Tysen managed to get away. The next day they were hung. From thence on, he had no one, and his host (having learned of the incident), threw him out of the inn. The next week, cold and starving, he heard a warm voice in his mind: :Don’t be scared, from now on I will always be with you!: He had been Chosen by Erdgard, who helped find him something to eat and then took him off on their long journey to Valdemar.

Goals in Life:
Tysen has no goals in life. So his first goal is to get goals in life! He only lives for Erdgard, fun, and himself, and doesn’t want to think about who he will become. He isn’t even sure about becoming a Herald.

Position:
Herald Trainee
