[attr="class","rcapplefttitle"]POINT OF DEPARTURE

[attr="class","rcappleft5"]



During their travels across their realm, Tyto fell asleep under the stars of their realm and was awoken by the sun rising over Tomodachi Island. Torn from a world of political intrigue, and warring houses, being placed in a far more peaceful realm was a bit of a culture shock, to say the least.

Spirit of the Owl

While Tyto's strength is comparable to the average human, their speed and agility are legendary. In the blink of an eye, they're able to easily jump roughly twelve feet. However, that is moving as fast as they are able as far as is possible for them, it requires a substantial amount of energy, and is not something done often or with reckless abandon.
[break][break]
In general combat or day to day use, Tyto plays a delicate balancing act in order to not overexert themself. They either use their skill to cover a long distance in one fluid motion at an average speed or to execute a quick movement.
[break][break]
An example of this is one of Tyto's signature moves, Blade Dance, a skill where they quickly rotate and use both the blades on their cape, and their saber to deal quick, shallow, wounds or deflect incoming projectiles (never both at once).

Blade Mastery

It's not hard to guess that Tyto likes blades. No matter the occasion, they can usually be found with a combat knife somewhere on their person. It's more obvious when they're looking for a fight, and they carry their signature weapon, a custom saber.
[break][break]
Less obvious is the combat potential for Tyto's signature asymmetrical cape. The daggers on the three outermost "feathers" of the cape aren't sharp enough to cause damage and are often excused as ornamental. However, Tyto is able to utilize their quick reflexes to swiftly launch them forward at a speed that gives the daggers a more potent bite. While far less effective than a well-honed blade, the unassuming daggers have their place amongst Tyto's arsenal.

Master of Disguise

Very little is known about what lies beneath Tyto's mask. Since donning it, they've made a habit of always wearing a disguise of some sort when not wearing their signature garb. This can amount to something as simple as a wig and clever makeup, or something more elaborate. On occasion, Tyto employs the use of prosthetics and other means to obfuscate their missing arm. This is usually reserved for cases where having a missing arm would be a dead giveaway as the process is usually fairly involved.
[break][break]
Since arriving on Tomodachi Island, Tyto hasn't made use of this skill much, if at all. Compared to their world, the island is far more technologically advanced and full of beings with abilities that can see through a disguise at a glance. Once they become more acclimated to the mechanics of the realm, they'll likely rely more heavily on disguises.

Fang

A small creature that resembles something of a cross between a gerbil and a ferret, Fang is often dismissed as nothing more than Tyto's pet. He is commonly found riding on their left shoulder, and when he's not, he's rarely too far away. On the surface level, the pair's relationship is that of a master and a pet, however, it runs much deeper than that, and they're much more like partners.
[break][break]
Small, agile, and feisty, Fang is the perfect distraction in battle. With the duo often using a tag team attack where Tyto flings the small rodent at an opponent, at which point Fang attacks then retreats before the going gets too tough.
[break][break]
Outside of battle, he often helps Tyto with tasks that are too difficult or tedious to do with one hand, and in many ways Fang acts as their left arm. The pair is inseparable and fiercely loyal to each other.

"What do I know about Tyto? Everything and nothing. I've got a million contradictory tales about a red-caped acrobat with a sword. Some tales are folklore, others propaganda... But Tyto doesn't stay in one place long enough for a story to stick." - Uthnan, House Karkaresh Sage-Historian
