Tyflos

The Eccentric (Gagan)

## Description

Coarse, floppy, gritty hair covers his wrinkled face with inky black eyes, pointed ears and protruding snout with sharp teeth. A thin layer of brown fuzz covers all of his dark grey skin. He typically wears clothes larger than his size and cares more about comfort and practicality rather than style. The only decent outfit he owns is his sacred regalia which he wears only during rituals. By some miracle was tall and liked to accent that by walking on the tips of his toes but now shrunk due to the splicing. Before he used to wear many accessories like chains but doesn't wear them anymore so their clinking sounds don't attract too much attention. On his wanders around the academy, Tyflos brings his trusty umbrella to use as a cane, weapon, shield and in his holy ceremonies.

## Personality

He doesn't have many friends but doesn't mind that, maybe even doesn't want any. This reclusive and apathetic state is due to his focus on the spiritual world, where he harvests his energy. Likes to avoid conflict but if it is necessary then he’ll choose the most violent route (the idea behind that being to teach enemies never to mess with him again). Head is always in some other world. As his recent stunts have shown he's also a little bit sassy and quite self-serving.

## Story

#### Pre-Rp

Tyflos is from an indigenous tribe in Svalbard, where he was respected because of his connections to the Gods and other worlds they worshipped. During some unclear times he became separated from them and crept aboard a ship to the mainland. Through a chain of cargo transport he went through Europe to the USA and ended up a homeless kid in tattered rags on the cold streets of Maryland. Here the researchers saw him as a perfect candidate for their experiments. He himself of course has a different opinion on how he came to be here and in the world.

#### The Rp

Initially he wanted to make friends with Ilya and even settled in his room but that didn't work well as the redhead made fun of his practices. While strutting around the corridors he came across the Thug Sissies and joined them since they offered protection and friendships. Tyflos works as a delivery man of sorts for them. He also gave them a tent he found somewhere; they have it constantly set up as a cozy spot in the middle of the hallway where the bat sleeps. Also on one of his walks he stopped briefly to practice his diving skills in the pool and prove its functionality to Kiemo. Yes, he took a dip in the water despite hearing stories of what went on inside it. He missed out the Strange Passes of Time because of a grudge he held against the Sissies as they never thanked him for the services he provided. Due to this he went to live on an oak tree in the yard and only came back into the building on two occasions: to kick Ilya's ass, during which he got his entire back covered in third degree burns, and to grab some food. On the second one he ended up overhearing a conversation between Kiemo and Red again, where he learned about their hate towards Gagan and decided to give the man a warning. Fortunately, he bumped into the tiger only minutes later in the cafeteria and gave him a sort of vision telling him of the various information he'd learned. Afterwards he followed the man into the infirmary, where he had a small scuffle with Fletcher but also showered and had his burns treated.

He still ended up returning to the tree, however upon return he noticed a fellow student sat up there as well. That's how he met Dyre. They talked and xe ended up revealing that xe was on a mission to find someone named Auggie, who appeared in xis dreams as a consequence of Warped Connection. Without wasting time, Tyflos sought to help find this man by screaming his name whilst running around the building with Dyre following close behind. Eventually the bat collapsed out of breath in front of the classroom, in which Auggie was conversing with Niccolo. Neither took kindly to their arrival. While the two connected conversed, Tyflos tried to magically figure out what the two had in common but ended up only hurting himself with the powers.

## Trivia

* Due to the bat DNA he has excellent hearing and can successfully echolocate. His ears are so great in fact that he began wearing ear plugs to not die from the amount of noise he experiences.
* Translated from the four languages that make it up (Greek, Finnish, Arabic, Latin), his full name means Blind Blind son of Eagle.
