Tell Me About Them “Personality”:
- Empathetic: Despite her homeworld’s best efforts to stamp it out of her, Tyzias is deeply empathetic, and feels the suffering of everybody that she knows is experiencing pain or injustice. Tyzias even forgave one of her coworkers for trying to find evidence to turn her in for treason, saying that the young troll being so desperate to prove herself so she won’t get culled is a perfect example of everything that’s wrong with Alternia. Tyzias's hyperempathy is what gets her out of bed (and when she's having a particularly bad time, it's what keeps her there); if somebody's in pain, she's got to do something about it to make up for how horrible she feels about all the ones that she can't help. It's the seed from which almost every other aspect of her personality sprung forth, and it's also what tears her apart from the inside out. She's still a snarky, caustic, sardonic jackass to most people (i.e. those who don't need desperately need her help), though. That isn't necessarily at odds with her bleeding heart.
- Driven: Tyzias seems like a lazy, listless slob. Her outfit's a rumpled mess, her spine is slouched at almost a 90 degree angle, and she could store a wallet in her eyebags. To put it succinctly, she looks like a complete trainwreck. And although this isn't untrue, Tyzias's state of disrepair is due to how she never stops working. Whether it be staying up for nights at a time studying for her tests on Alternia or slaying monsters for days on end on Vaikuntha, Tyzias's endless drive to do is one of her greatest strengths—and weaknesses. She won't rest until whatever needs to be done is done, and even then, she almost immediately moves on to whatever her next project may be. This relentless energy is a great asset, but it also leaves no time for Tyzias to actually take care of herself, leaving the burnt-out husk that's all that most people see of her. After all, if she isn't doing to stop the bad things from happening or help those affected by it, then what use is she? In fact, she's practically complicit! Tyzias knows that this isn't true on a logical level, but convincing yourself of that emotionally is another thing entirely.
- Nihilistic: Despite her constant efforts to effect change, Tyzias is all too aware that she's an infinitesmal cog in an infinitely vast machine. She knew this back on Alternia, and as she ventured further afield, her unimportance only became more apparent. She was a cog that helped propel the machine to kill a dragon god and save several worlds, yes, but she's still only a cog. Tyzias tries to convince herself that this doesn't matter; that if she isn't important, she'll make herself important through her words and deeds. Yet the overwhelming vastness of how much she thinks she doesn't matter still gets to her, driving her to be even more recklessly self-destructive and occasionally causing her to do nothing but contemplate her own existence in nothing but a hoodie and boxers that haven't been washed for weeks while staring up at the ceiling.
- Cynical: Tyzias has seen some of the worst that the multiverse has to offer. From the endless cruelty of Alternia to the vile machinations of Vaikuntha's villains, Tyzias has directly experienced exactly how shitty people and worlds can be. Although Tyzias would like to believe in the basic goodness inherent in every thinking being, she just can't anymore. This doesn't stop her from seeing the best in those that she sees as genuinely trying to help—Tyzias just knows that kindness is something that you have to cultivate within yourself, and finds it all the more valuable because of that. But it also means that she's always ready for things to go disastrously wrong or to be betrayed by someone she considered an ally.
- Argumentative: While Tyzias's determination is an undeniable asset, it also means that she is unbelievably stubborn. If she thinks she's right, she will refuse to back down and acquiesce to anybody else's plan, and she will argue loudly if somebody voices an opinion that she particularly disagrees with. This tendency comes from her somewhat arrogant belief that she's almost always the most informed person in any given situation—after all, nobody else on Alternia bothered to do the work to dig into the archives to find the secret history of the planet that could get them culled by the Heiress's enforcers. Tyzias even laced her essays with anti-authoritarian subtext because she disagreed with their premises so strongly, knowing full well that she'd get culled if she was discovered. She isn't completely unreasonable, though; if somebody can show her that she's demonstrably wrong, Tyzias will give in.
- Self-destructive: Tyzias will lose as many battles as it takes to win the war. On Alternia, she constantly drove herself to the point of mental and physical breakdown just to get the edge she needed to perform better than her colleagues. She willingly lost an eye on Vaikuntha so she could cut the Knave of Blades to ribbons herself. There's almost no part of herself that Tyzias won't push well beyond the point of breaking if it means accomplishing whatever her goal is at the time. This ruthless pragmatism only applies to herself, however. Tyzias would never sacrifice anybody else to further her own ends, and she'd berate herself for being a villainous piece of bulgekelp if the thought even crossed her mind.

Possessions: Most of Tyzias's possessions are stored in her iMog eyepatch, but in the case of interdimensional rupture: she has Caledfwlch, Dragon's Spine, and an alchemization of the two of them and Fear No Anvil that she calls Calamity Clockstopper. She also has a "casual outfit" and a set of armor that consists of her Bahamut-crafted coat alchemized with her Heir of Blood outfit. Her training weight harness is also there, which is a magical set of adjustable weights attached to a skintight harness that severely inhibits her physical ability when she puts it on. And even if its inventory functions are disabled, her eyepatch iMog has a playlist of all the music that she's liked from every world that she's visited. Which is a lot.
