Phoenix Tyr

Phoenix Tyr is a character role-played by pipper_papper
==Description==
Phoenix, 42, is an enigmatic eunuch who recently moved to Los Santos to escape a cult-like group. Highly interested in "gathering and sharing valuable knowledge", Phoenix spends his time learning about the associations and goings-on of the citizens of Los Santos, both public and covert.
===Activity===
Phoenix is generally upfront about his desire to collect and propagate information ("knowledge") among his "network", a loose group of associates and informants with which he exchanges information, often visibly writing things down in notebooks in front of people after they tell him something. He typically won't offer or accept money for information, instead treating information itself as a commodity to be traded. 
Though he states his intentions openly, Phoenix employs subterfuge to get or retain exclusive information, using assumptions of good faith or confusion about his real intentions to his advantage. He can be withholding of the information he decides to divulge, and will usually let someone know they aren't receiving everything in an effort to get more out of them. He has little interest in PI/"case" work and will reject requests to investigate or trail a specific person/group for someone else unless there could be some direct benefit to him. 
Due to his upbringing, Phoenix is highly competent with technology, computers, and hacking.
===Appearance===
Phoenix is bald. He has a round, full face with bushy eyebrows and wrinkles on his forehead. He primarily wears white clothing with earrings, a gold necklace and bracelet, black nail polish, and is always barefoot.
===Behavior===
"The most Zen guy in the city" - Random person in Senior Buns
Phoenix maintains a relaxed and calculated demeanor, often walking around slowly with his hands crossed. His speech is contemplative, slow, and deliberate, usually without contractions or slang words. Quiet, calm, and collected, people assume he is some sort of ascetic, Zen monk, yogi, cult member, etc. but he claims he's just not well-socialized due to his upbringing.
==Early Life==
"My follicles were given to a billionaire named Frelon Tusk. I'm not sure what they did with my genitals." - Phoenix
Phoenix was raised "far away" from Los Santos by a group he calls "the others" which operated an isolated child-labor commune of around 100 children that fronted as an orphanage. All children raised by the others were forcibly taken from their biological parents, had their follicles and reproductive organs surgically removed, and the follicles were given to billionaires for hair transplants. The children were forced to perform various tasks for the others and Phoenix was specifically tasked with operations related to information such as intelligence gathering, social engineering, and computer hacking.
