Bio

I have been writing since I was 17 years old. I am now 33 and I've been enjoying life. Writing is a passion just as reading is. My favorite genre is murder/mystery, but I love fantasy and I love action/adventure. I have published a collection of short stories that can be found on Apple Books, Barnes and Nobles, and Kindle. I have a trilogy in the works, the first part scheduled for release this year.

oh that sounds like fun, what is that? @Catmint
Just an FYI I updated Tyler's appearance photograph. I love Heise and their artwork and I always credit them as an inspiration around which I build a character and backstory and such. Anywho, I hope that better reveals to you all, or gives you something to base your description of Tyler with.
@Catmint Hey if you want to discuss plot and such I am available on Skype, just search RisingPhoenix :) or my email which is jamespickett87@hotmail.com.

Would he die by fire? I would imagine burning him to be one of the days to get rid of him since technically they're nothing to reform, unless his immortality reaches farther than that. This should be quite interesting.
Tyler DeGarrio


Silence. There was finally silence amongst all the loud music and cursing in the streets below, but now there was silence. A silence that came with a price. In the morning there would be news of death. The tenants of the street below that caused the ruckus would be found dead, stuffed in a dumpster with no signs as to who did such a criminal act. Tyler slept peacefully that night, knowing that the silence would only be temporary before cops and investigators showed up to question anyone within the vicinity of the crime, just to make sure no one within the apartment building had anything to do with it. His peace that night was all he needed, and when the morning came he awoke with a soft smile on his face. The morning rays filtered into his penthouse apartment and illuminated the bedroom. He groaned as he rolled over. Thankfully there was no one beside him. He had been on a sort of binge of men. Having a new guy every other night had become a thing as of late, but Tyler wanted peace and quiet. The Godfather had called a meeting and he needed his rest.

He would always remember his ex, the man who died for him, at least that is what he thought. Andre had given him so much and here he was being a complete whore, but he supposed it was his way of grieving. Standing from the bed, he moved to the bathroom to take his shower and complete his morning routine. It was a lot that went into what people saw when he walked out of his house. He was always well manicured though he didn't mind getting his hands dirty. Tyler looked himself over in the mirror before deciding what best to wear to the meeting. A long elegant coat beyond its time and tight fitting pants with an equally revealing shirt that showed just enough but hid what was important.

Tyler smirked looking at the mirror. His androgynous ways didn't go unnoticed in the Canaglia Gang. No one dared voice any type of displeasure, because it meant dealing with his wrath, and it was a powerful wrath indeed. There was a reason Tyler was the go to when it came to certain things within the gang, and he would not allow his reputation to slip not even an inch. A spell circle appeared before him as he stepped through it. At the same time a circle appeared in the office where the meeting was being held. Tyler walked in just as Michael was giving out orders to who would do what.

Yes, Tyler was late, but this wouldn't be the first time he was late. The spell circle dimmed and shut down behind Tyler as he took his rightful seat and listened to Michael finish giving out assignments. Fortunately he was paired with competent members of the gang. Kennison and McDowel. Those were his partners for this little mission. They had to check on things and make sure that a group of newbie loan sharks new who ran the city, the only obstacle was that Michael didn't want them to ice anyone.

"Where's the fun in that?" Tyler commented with a sly smirk as Michael finished giving orders. He stood to his feet and nodded indicating he understood his orders and looked to Kennison and McDowel. Kennison had already affirmed to The Godfather that he could count on them, and he was right, they would get the job done regardless. As they left the room, Harvey proceeded to talk causing Tyler to look over in his direction. "I suppose so," he said, "anyone need a way there? Spell circles are fun to travel through."

At that moment Kennison informed them that he had the location and that they should be on their way.

"Fabulous," Tyler responded as he clasped his hands together and spoke in the old tongue. As he separated his hand, a spell circle appeared on the palm of his right hand, and when he thrust it forward the spell circle appeared on the wall. "After you gentlemen," he stated wanting to get this mission done and over with so he could have a little fun.

@Flamelord@SilverDawn
So sorry for my delay. I do hope I didn't hold anyone up.
He was close to him, so very close and he could smell his scent. It was intoxicating, to say the least, and he felt his hand squeeze his bicep which made him smile internally, externally he had a stern face as he started weaving the spell with his hands.

"Hold your breath," he stated as he finished the lock with his finger. Within minutes they had vanished and reappeared on the outside of a large building. Music could be heard blaring and Caleb caught Samantha out of the corner of his eye talking to some guy who he was sure would be her personal assistant after tonight. She had that effect on men, and it was very shocking to witness. There were people everywhere. Some on the front porch, some out in the yard talking and drinking spiked punch, and others could be seen through the open front door dancing in the living room which had been transformed into a dance floor. Caleb smirked as he took it all in, the smell of alcohol, the smell of cigarettes and another interesting smell that he knew would have to avoid. He could see someone in the distance at the corner of the house firing up what looked like a skinny rolled up piece of paper. The smell was strong, but he looked over at Ambrose and smiled.

"Welcome to the party," he said leading the way and introducing Ambrose to people as they walked towards the entrance. "You want to stay away from Rachel, she will try to seduce you in like ten seconds if you're not careful. Sad to say almost everyone at BlackBrick has either had her once or knows about her promiscuity. I mean they probably say the same thing about me, but the longest relationship I've ever been in was about 3 years. I guess he got bored with me and wanted to 'taste the waters' whatever the hell that means," Caleb said making small conversation as they reached the open front door and slid in.

"That's Alex," Caleb said pointing to a very attractive chocolate toned man standing in the kitchen making mixed drinks. "He's a junior and a crazy skilled mixologist. Be careful, though, he's known to get people wasted. That is where you go if you want a drink." Caleb continued waving at people who yelled his name and acknowledged him. "There's two bathrooms on the first floor and four bedrooms upstairs as well as an addition two bathrooms. The dance floor is right there, I don't know if you like to groove or not," Caleb added as he slowly moved to the dance floor, showing off his moves while trying to pull Ambrose along. It was all in good fun, but he hoped Ambrose wouldn't be overwhelmed by everything.

@Catmint
@GingerBoi123When you said DeGatto in the IC did you mean DeGarrio? Just wanted to make sure that you were referring to Tyler so that I can start on my post.
@Catmint

Caleb was silent as Ambrose gave him just a sample of his life but not going into full detail. He couldn't blame Ambrose, they had only just met and Caleb was sure Ambrose didn't trust him enough to give much information about his life. Meanwhile Caleb was an open book. Asked him a question and he'd tell you without much restraint. He didn't have anything to hide. Even his adult film career had been the talk at one point in time, but only between those he truly knew like Samantha. When Ambrose had finished talking, Caleb looked up at him, his eyes had drifted to the floor for a moment while Ambrose was talking, but now his piercing beautiful eyes were staring straight at Ambrose.

"I remember when I first got here. Scared was an understatement, and I didn't know I could do the things that I've been taught. Furthermore I didn't know this place was real until the headmaster brought me here," he said a gentle smile still present on his face. "You'll love it here, at least I hope you will. After all, where else will you learn to do this..."

He moved his hands in intricate patterns before producing a orb of fire that hovered just above his palm. Clenching his fist shut the first was extinguished and replaced with a beautiful rose. As he opened his hand, the crystal rose shimmered in the light and he held out his hand to Ambrose.

"Don't worry, I won't bite you Ambrose," Caleb joked. "This world has a way of bringing out the good and bad in people. Best remember who you are Ambrose so that you don't lose that glint of humanity that hovers ever slightly beyond your eyes, hiding amongst all the shit that I'm sure you've had to deal with in the past. Trust me when I tell you life can be a bitch sometimes, but I find the journies are always worth it in the end."

Just then a knock came at the door and Samantha came strolling in. When she saw Ambrose leaning against the wall she looked between the two and a grin appeared on her face.

"NOTHING HAPPENED SAM," Caleb immediately said wanting to diffuse any attempt she had at claiming anything.

"Oh I'm sure," she replied with a wink in Ambrose's direction. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go. Ambrose did Caleb show you the transportation spell?"

"I didn't get a chance to," Caleb interjected causing Samantha to roll her eyes.

"Fine, then he's tagging along with YOU!" She stated as she performed the transporation spell without a hitch, vanishing in a matter of seconds from their sight.

Caleb sighed and looked at Ambrose. "I am so sorry about her accusations," he said, "but I can show you the spell, or you can just grab ahold of my arm or something and I'll get us there."
Will post here shortly, going to get something to eat really quickly.... Taco Bell is calling my name.
