He doesn't wear a Pokeball around his neck like in the picture. He stands at around 5'11 and is a somewhat imposing figure. [b]PERSONALITY:[/b] To know Tyros is to love Tyros. That phrase mostly applies to his Pokemon however. Despite being an accomplished battler and well recognized Gym Leader in the Galar Region, he isn't the most social person when outside of his Gym. He has grown used to the trainers that help him keep his Gym running and has formed somewhat friendly relationships with them and he is very cordial towards visiting trainers wishing to challenge the gym but outside of that, he just isn't the most social person with other people. He loves his Pokemon unconditionally however and before becoming a Gym Leader was known to travel outside the Galar region to take them on mini-vacations where they could simply enjoy the sights and foods of the different regions. He does make an attempt once in a while to be friendly to new people however it doesn't happen that often. [b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b] Having been born in Spikemuth town, Tyros had a somewhat different upbringing. He never really embraced the punk lifestyle that came with living in the town and as such was ridiculed quite a bit. He eventually gave in a number of months after his ninth birthday and and began doing his best to fit in with how the rest of the citizens expected him to. This went on for a number of months until he began his own Pokemon journey. The first Pokemon he received was an Eevee which after a while evolved into an Umbreon late one night. It was shortly after Eevee evolved that he came to the realization that although he was expected to act like one of the citizens of Spikemuth town, he was under no [i]actual[/i] obligation to do so. As he looked down at the newly evolved Umbreon which was staring back up at him with unblinking eyes, he began to think, dark type Pokemon were somewhat misunderstood, at least from what he had seen from a number of people he had met over the last few months. What was stopping him from making his own team of dark type Pokmeon and showing people they weren't so bad? And so began Tyros's new journey. He began traveling the Galar region and a few times even visited a few different regions trying to find more information on dark type Pokemon and how people perceived them. It was a long journey and the majority of the time the answers he got from people about how they saw the misunderstood type were not encouraging. a number of people saw them as bad luck or bringers of impending trouble. A few times, he was forced to step in to stop a few superstitious people from actually chasing certain ones off and on one occasion was actually forced to defend from from being injured by an angry trainer that has stumbled across it. The Houndour that he rescued became his second Pokemon and a close friend to his Umbreon. As his travels continued, he rescued a number of Pokemon, some of which he helped find homes for and others he ended up adopting. After nearly a year, he arrived back home in Spikemuth town and challenged the gym leader and after a very difficult battle, was able to pull off a win. It was quite a while after that Tyros was crowned the leader of the Spikemuth Gym Leader. In the time between that first battle with the Gym Leader and his coronation as Gym Leader, his team continued to evolve and grow until he found that not many people would pick a fight with him anymore. It took a while, but he became used to his life as the Gym Leader of Spikemuth town. It was lonely, but as long as he had his Pokemon by his side, he was happy. [b]TEAM:[/b] Umbreon Houndoom Zweilous Cacturne Crawdaunt He also possesses a very, very bitter and angry Tyranitar that he never uses in battle due to the fact that since it was a Larvitar it was usually hit and beaten by it's former trainer before it was rescued by Tyros shortly before it evolved into Pupitar. Although Tyros loves all of his Pokemon deeply, he simply doesn't know what to do with Tyranitar. On the few occasions he has released Tyranitar from it's Pokeball, it immediately went berserk and began attempting to wreck the gym and the surrounding area. On one occasion he was forced to knock it out before it would return to it's Pokeball. He's hoping one day to find a way to calm it down and either find a trainer who can handle it and give it the love and attention it deserves or find a way for Tyranitar to finally trust him and add it to his team. At the moment, he simply doesn't want to subject the poor thing to unnecessary anger and rage by letting it out of it's Pokeball. [b]RELATIONSHIPS:[/b] Tyros has a somewhat rocky interactions with a few of the other Gym leaders due to his social issues. He often feels that a few of them doubt his ability as a trainer.
