Tyren the Pangolin

This is an article about Tyren the Pangolin, a character created by Detective SkullWolf on 01/5/2014.
Tyren is a male, twenty-year-old pangolin. He is the founder of the Unorthodox Three, a trio of "heroic mercenaries" who earn money by helping people, and then turn around and spend that money on helping more people. Tyren has the power of glass manipulation.
==Personality==
Tyren is a straightforward man with simple taste. Aside from his occasional complaining-fits, he is easy to get along with. Because of this, Tyren often him finds himself becoming friends with most people he meets that are his own alignment.
Upon first glance, Tyren seems to be a pretty simple-minded person. He is often not very bright when it comes to word choice, which often leads people into thinking that he is not intelligent. However when push comes to shove, Tyren can be a tactical genius if he puts his mind to it, especially during battle.
Tyren is a selfless individual who has dedicated his life to helping those that can not help themselves. He usually will not put his needs above someone else, and you definitely will never see him harm those that have not done anything wrong. However, Tyren can sometimes be a little TOO selfless, like risking starvation by giving up his own food or money to someone who needs it.
Tyren is of the chaotic good alignment. He will ignore or even break laws if in order to do what is right. As a result, he will sometimes get himself into trouble.
During battle, Tyren often will start out acting arrogant as he tries to figure out what his opponent is capable of. After he figures out his foe's powers and styles, he becomes much strategic and serious.
==History==
===Before Tyren's Birth===
Many generations ago, two towns were locked in constant conflict. They often quarreled with each other over what began as trivial matters. However, the arguments grew more severe over time. Fighting eventually broke out. At some point, an incident occured that resulted in several deaths. 
The leaders of both towns finally came together afterwords to end the conflict. Several terms were brought to life to prevent further incidents. Some of these terms included the banning of weapon usage (except for the police) and more importantly the outlawing of powers. However, the leaders could not simply execute or kick out everyone that had powers, as the majority of both populations had some form of power. 
Instead, they limited  the rights of everyone with powers, anticipating a revolt. Sure enough, a revolt did occur and the military of both towns were forced to step in. The rioters were punished by having the majority of them thrown out. Those that were allowed to remain were further punished by new laws that had banned mobians with powers to be allowed to exist in future generations. Those with powers had to give up their future children if they were proven to have powers themselves. 
===Tyren's Birth and After===
Tyren was born to two pangolin parents in Ishton, one of the two towns. His mother was a painter, while his father was an architect. As Tyren grew up, strange incidents began to occur involving him shooting glass from his hands by accident. When Tyren brought this up to his father, he explained that he was born with powers. Apparently his father also had powers, but had managed to keep them hidden from the public. Tyren was advised to never reveal his own powers in public, and he did as he was told...for awhile.
However as time went on, Tyren developed the idea that he was born with powers so that he could help people (this probably resulted from reading too many comic books) and started practicing his powers in private. One day at the age of twelve, Tyren was walking home from school when suddenly a burglar emerged from a store right in front of him. Instead of calling the police, Tyren naturally used his powers to stop the burglar and return the stolen money to the store owner. However instead of thanking him, the store owner called the police and a confused, startled Tyren was arrested for having powers.
Two months later he was scheduled to be executed, but just as he was being dragged to the public execution chair, his father came to the rescue by attacking the executioners with his power of sand-manipulation. His father ordered Tyren to run while everyone was distracted. Tyren refused to leave his father and wanted to help him, but his mother suddenly grabbed him and ran out of town. The last thing Tyren heard in the town was gunshots.
It was not long after when a certain hyena (Ailion the Hyena. Expect a page to be made for him soon) began to stalk Tyren and his mother. He was sent by the leader of Ishton to capture Tyren alive and bring him back, so that he could be properly executed and order would be restored in the town. Ailion forced Tyren and his mother into hiding for many nights, to the point where his mother decided that the only way for her son to escape was if she came out of hiding and distracted Ailion. Tyren tried to stop her, but she simply left him her ring and ran off. He waited the next day for his mother to reappear, but eventually forced himself to move on when she did not return.
===The Unorthodox Origins Arc===
Tyren found himself in Rosenhale, a city much more modern then his own hometown. He was surprised to find that many people that lived in this city had their own powers. With no sign of pursuit from Ailion, he finally was able to plan out what he was going to do. With absolutely no money on him, Tyren was forced to become a beggar for the next few days. When that quickly failed, he began looking for jobs. He eventually was able to get a job as the janitor of a martial-arts studio.
As weeks went by, Tyren began to explore around the city and realized that many people were suffering from rough times. At this point Tyren remembered how he once had been determined to help people with his strange power. This determination was reborn as he promised to find a way to help those in need. It did not take long for him to find the answer: money. From his short-lived life as a beggar, he determined that money was the ultimate answer to helping people. Money can feed a person, keep a roof over his or her head, and give him or her a sense of purpose. But with this answer came a problem: Tyren had barely any money, and he still had to support himself with the money he had. 
Eventually, Tyren found a solution: By doing various services to help people with their every-day problems in order to earn money for both himself and for long-term donations to eventually give to those that need it. At first these services were simple jobs like helping the elderly across the street or retrieving cats from trees.
However, as Tyren got older and more people began to ask him for help, the jobs began to be more dangerous. Tyren needed to learn to defend himself better, so he went to the instructor of the martial-arts studio. The man agreed to give him lessons on combat for a percentage of what he earned as a janitor. However, Tyren realized that it was costing him a lot of money that he could be saving for other people, so he only took lessons for about a year before quitting both the lessons and his job as janitor. Afterwords, he began to train on his own.
Words quickly were spreading about Tyren's selfless deeds across the city, and eventually to other towns. He became known as the "Heroic Mercenary", and this particular name attracted two individuals to Rosenhale. Those two individuals, Quelle the Owl and Aprose the Mouse, had very different reasons for seeing him. Tyren had been looking for people to help him form an entire group dedicated to helping those in need, and upon meeting Quelle and Aprose he decided that they were just the right kind of people. He was able to convince them both to form the Unorthodox Three, a trio of herioc mercenaries fueled by nothing more than selfless righteousness.
Little does Tyren know, his reputation has also gained someone elses attention...
==Powers==
As the son of a sand-manipulator, Tyren gained a much more refined power: Glass manipulation. He can create and shape glass to his own will. He can shoot glass from his body, form large cubes of glass around his enemies, create shields and platforms, and even form weapons made of glass. Tyren also has the uncanny ability to consume glass to gain extra power, but it does not seem to work when he consumes his own glass.
===Attacks===
Glass Shot: Tyren shoots a steady stream of glass shards from the palm of his hand(s) at the enemy.
Glass Bomb: Tyren tosses a sphere of glass at his opponent. Upon impact, it shatters into a hundreds of shards.
Glass Knuckles: Glass spikes form on Tyren's fists as he repeatedly jabs his opponent's stomach.
Glass Cushion: Glass spikes form all around his body as he charges straight into the enemy.
Glass Blades: Tyren forms a knife made of glass in his hand.
Glass Mallet: Tyren forms a small, one-handed mallet made of glass in his hand. It can only be used once before shattering, but can deal quite a bit of damage.
Glass Trap: Tyren forces one of his hands into the ground (this attack will not work if the ground is not soft enough for him to force his hand through) and shoots glass downwards. Seconds later, a hand made of glass emerges from the ground next to the opponent and grabs their foot (does not work if the opponent is not on the ground). In order to free themselves, the opponent must either teleport or break the glass hand, the latter causing damage to their own foot.
Glass Tower: Tyren places both of his hands on the ground and shoots a large amount of glass into the ground. A few seconds later, a sharp pillar of glass emerges from the ground in a specific spot.
Glass Puncture: A very lethal attack. Glass begins to form on the palm of his hands as he places them on the enemy. At this point, the glass grows rapidly and cuts through the enemy's insides and straight out on the other side.
Isolation Zone: Tyren forms a large glass cube around the enemy, trapping them. The enemy must either teleport or attack to break through. Breaking the cube causes the glass to fall on top of the enemy, dealing damage. He can also create a much smaller cube to restrain the opponent's movement. However while this costs less energy to do, the opponent must not be moving or it will very likely miss.
==Weaknesses==
===Poor Defense===
Tyren suffers from a genetic illness inherited from his father's bloodline. It leaves his body frail and his bones easily broken. It does not take much effort to inflict serious damage to him. Tyren makes up for this with his incredible endurance, able to keep fighting despite massive injuries.
===Poor Strength===
Tyren's glass powers are not able to inflict much damage to enemies, unable to pierce most shields and armors. Even worse is Tyren's inherited illness, preventing him from doing much better with physical blows.
==Relationships with Other Characters==
===Friends===
====Quelle the Owl====
Although Quelle constantly insists that Tyren is nothing more than a "forced acquaintance", deep down he considers him a true friend. He believes that Tyren is a "reckless moron with good intentions". Tyren is the only person that has ever managed to make him smile, but admits that it was a "creepy experience". Quelle believes that Tyren has the potential to be the person that someday defeats him at chess, though Tyren has a lot of training to go through first. 
===Enemies===
====Ailion the Hyena====
Ailion was hired several years ago to capture Tyren and bring him back to Ishton for execution. However, the actions of Tyren's mother kept Ailion from finding him. He has not been seen again in many years, but it is unknown whether he has given up on finding Tyren or not.
