Tyleek Cree and Theldor

I asked Saint_Virtue for permission to make my own Allatik, and she willingly gave it. Here he is.

Name: - Tyleek Cree

Age: - 20 years

Gender: - Male

Skills: -
Earth; Tyleek is deeply connected to the earth. At a very young age, he would always go out to the forest to listen, simply listen. He was one of the few that could actually hear. Trees, plants, the earth itself can talk to him, in soft whispers and murmurs. This progressed into an understanding. He can use the life around him, if he listens. And he does, gladly. With his connection to life, he prefers to be outdoors. If he is indoors, and surrounded by stone or metal, if feels to him like he's suffocating. And he can't ask the earth to help him if he gets into danger. He must be near earth to ask for its help, however. He can make vines erupt from the ground and bind whoever is after him, branches come to life and twist up behind him. Not only can he use it for defense, he can talk to the trees or the plants to see if anyone is after him. Sometimes he gets a response, sometimes he doesn't. He doesn't know why he can do this, he just uses it the best way he can to survive.

Race: - Allatik; Tyleek has no true idea of what he is. His parents never got the chance to pass on his ancestry. All he knows is that he is different.

Hair: - Glossy midnight blue; shoulder length.

Eyes: - Lavender/blue; hard to distinguish from pure lavender.

Home Village: - Tyleek's family never really settled in one place long enough for it to be called home.

Parents: - Montela Cree; Mother: deceased Crodel Cree; Father: deceased

Siblings: - Older brother of missing sister Ceona Cree and her white fox, Olena.

Character Personality: - From his bond with the land, Tyleek has learned patience. A growing tree takes time to reach its full growth, and even then it isn't finished. Some time in his life he heard the saying 'Patience is a virtue', and he sticks to that like a burr. He's never lost his temper. His past has made him hard, cold, and calculating. The only being he's tender with his Theldor, because his companion is the only one that truly understands him. Tyleek is a well trained fighter, even though he was self-taught. Strangers are usually repelled by his silent stares, which is just fine by him. He doesn't trust anyone anyway. He is cunning, fast, decisive, and deadly. Though self-trained to be a ruthless killer, he never hurts innocents. Especially women and children. If anything, women and children are some of the select few things he shows tenderness to. They've done nothing to him, so in return he leaves them alone, even protects them if they need it. On the outside, Tyleek puts out the façade of being the battle hardened warrior that has experienced decades of war and slaughter. He is closed down and secluded from others, even Theldor, though he may trust and depend on the golden eagle. He thinks that no one else has been forced to see what he has. But on the inside, in the little shell he's erected around his heart, he is a hurting little boy that died and became cold at the age of three. He's never known compassion or been loved by anyone except his parents, but that was so long ago it was easy for him to forget. Subconsciously, he wants nothing more than to drop his weapon and sink into a pair of arms that will wrap around him and tell him everything is going to be alright. But he fights it without acknowledging it. He doesn't surrender to that little boy, because he's afraid of being vulnerable.

Character History: - Lukia Ursl. In two words, that describes Tyleek's entire past. Tyleek was barely three years old when Lukia found his parents while he was picking fruit. He came running back when he heard a great commotion. His parents were on their knees with their heads bowed. It seemed strange that they would surrender so easily, but then Tyleek saw that their companions-his mother's leopard and his father's coyote-were held securely with leather ropes and knives at their throats. He watched, horror-struck, as his mother and father were murdered before his eyes, as well as Telon (his mother's companion), and Kleon (his father's companion). He felt a measure of relief that there was no sign of his sister anywhere. Broken-hearted and stunned, he stumbled around in the trees. For days he walked in a type of trance. His mind was trying to protect itself, but the damage had already been done. This was where he found Theldor. The large golden eagle was screeching like mad in a hunting trap. One of its wings was broken. Tyleek felt close to the noble bird, so he freed it and nursed it back to health.
They've been together ever since.
Once he found Theldor, his heart seemed to mend, and he began to plot. Though only three, the mind of a much learned wise man had been forced onto him. He went back to the site that his family had set up and collected as much supplies as he could, as well as burying his parents and their companions. He didn't find his sister, who was only two and a half at the time of the attack. He holds a hope in his heart that Ceona is alive, as well as Olena. Tyleek trained himself to be a deadly warrior, in both hand to hand combat and long range. Completing his self-training at the age of nine, he began to hunt for who murdered his parents. Theldor was a trusted companion, the only one he could ever fully rely on. Tyleek has stalked halfway across the land, always on the heals of his prey, but they always slip from his grasp.
Now nineteen, Tyleek is weary of the never-ending hunt. Even the drive to avenge his parents has withered to a tendril of hope that abounds to nothing. Ten years he's followed the murderers, never close enough to kill them without hurting other innocents. And he refuses to put anyone else through the pain he's been forced to endure.
Now, just turned twenty, he has all but given up the chase. Now he's just trying to survive from day to day. In the abandonment of his first hunt, he's now determined to find his sister and her companion, dead or alive. Since he doesn't know what he is and can't find others like him, she is all he has left.

Weapons: - A plain wooden stave that rides on his back with the top in between his neck and left shoulder. It belonged to his father. The grain of the wood is hardened by means unknown to him, but it has never failed him in a bind.

Likes: - Freedom, open spaces, light, nature, animals, life

Dislikes: - Captivity, closed or small areas, darkness, death

Weakness / Fear: - Imprisonment. Being closely bonded to the earth, freedom is everything to Tyleek, and he becomes panicked when he can't hear the whispers of the land. Failing his sister. He wants to find her, and if he doesn't, he will feel like he didn't try hard enough.

Animal Companions: - Theldor, a male golden eagle that Tyleek released from a trap. Unlike most eagles that have cold black eyes, Theldor's eyes are a kind sea-green. When Theldor spreads his large wings, he's about as big as Tyleek is, but small enough to rest on Tyleek's shoulder.

Character's Physical Description: - Tyleek is 5' 11" with russet colored skin, glossy shoulder length midnight blue hair, and lavender-blue eyes. He could be called handsome. If he didn't glare at everyone that looked his way. His lavender-blue eyes glitter with mistrust and malice, though he can hide those emotions very well around women and children. He is well toned from self-training, physically strong, and charming when he wants to be, which is pretty much never. When he was little, his mother used to say his smile was the most beautiful thing in her world. He doesn't smile often, and when he does its only a much faded shadow of what it was. He carries a pale white scar across his chest, from his left collarbone to his right dorsi muscle, where it just begins to wrap around from his back. Since he usually goes shirtless, the scar is hard to miss. Mostly he wears black or dark brown trousers with dark green shoes made of tightly woven grass. He finds that a tunic slows him down for an attack, so he simply wears a cloak or cape that can easily be removed for battle. When he comes into town for supplies he reluctantly dons a tunic, since a man with a well built abdomen walking around shirtless looks like a badass, and therefore trouble, then nobody would want to help him. He uses/wears no armor because it slows him down.

Dreams for the Future: - End Lukia. Find out who and what he is. Find his sister.

Reason for Dreams: - Lukia murdered his parents. His parents never got the chance to teach him his heritage, so he's now forced to learn on his own. She is the only link he has to sanity.

Alignment/side: - Against Lukia Ursl.

Btw, I Accept.
