Character Information:
Character Name: Tyler Lockwood
Age: 18
Canon: The Vampire Diaries
Appearance:
Tyler has an athletic build, this is mostly due to the fact that he's a football player. He's fairly tall (5'9") and muscular from all the working out he does. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He usually carries himself with a very confident, cocky sort of air and can often be seen grinning or smirking.
When he transforms, his eyes turn amber and wolf like, something that'll happen briefly under other situations as well. In his wolf form, he looks like a regular grey wolf.
Personality:
Tyler is kind of naturally a dick. He's from a rich old family, one of the founding families of Mystic Falls, and his father was the mayor. And he was a star athelte, all those things combined gave him an air of superiority. He often acts like he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it. He's cocky, and acts like he owns the room. And it usually works, he's been very popular in school, especially with women. So he must be doing something right in his mind.
He tends to be very straight forward. He doesn't sugar coat things. If he wants something, he goes after it.
But more and more as the series goes on, it becomes apparently that a lot of this act of his is exactly that, an act. A lot of the behavior he portrays in school feels like a way to keep people at bay. Though he's popular, he doesn't have a lot of close friends except for Matt. And even he gets pissed off at Tyler a lot. He sleeps around with girls, but he never gets close to them. Though it's a terrible pun to make because of his werewolf gene and all, he is a lone wolf in a lot of ways. He looks out for himself, because he's the only one who will.
Growing up, you're given the impression he's not close to his parents. He had a particularly rocky relationship with his father. His father was constantly berating him and putting him down, talking about but what a disgrace he was. He even hit him a few times. Given that context, it makes much more sense that Tyler acts the way he does in the beginning of the series. Children from unstable enviroments, from abuse, they often end up being angry and lashing out themselves. As terrible as he could be sometimes, the one thing Tyler did know was he didn't want to be like his father. This is also explains why he tries so hard to be impressive, to be noticed, because at home he never, ever felt like he was good enough.
But then his father dies, and everything changes. This is when Tyler discovers he has the werewolf gene in him. The whole Lockwood family does. And this gene explains one huge part of Tyler's personality: his temper. Tyler's always been the type of person to start a fight over almost nothing. He lashes out. He goes too far. When people asked him what his problem was he always responded with "I don't know." Because he didn't. It was like a part of himself he didn't know how to control. He never meant to be like that, he just was. He likens it to blacking out almost. Like something takes over him. He finds out it's not just him, but a Lockwood trait. A werewolf trait.
Eventually, he accidently triggers the werewolf gene due to an accident at a party where a girl ends up dying. This is when we start seeing a lot more of Tyler's other sides. He's no longer acting confident or cocky, he's scared. He's going to become a monster and the one person who could have helped him, his uncle Mason, dies. It leaves Tyler feeling lost and unsure. Even when he was unhappy with his life before, he always knew what to expect. But his father's dead, his uncle is too, and he's becomign a werewolf and he's seemingly alone.
Which is why his connection to Caroline Forbes is so important to him and his character development. He's never had someone he could really rely on before. Who just wants to help him. He's always felt alone to a certain degree and now that he's going through the worst experience of his life, she stays with him, even when he's being difficult. Even when it could risk her own life (because a werewolves bite is deadly to a vampire). And that floors him. He's always been a selfish person and he kind of assumes everyone else to be as much of a dick as he can be. But she held him during his first transformation. She made sure he didn't go through it alone. It's not the kind of thing you just forget. And it leaves an impression on Tyler.
After that first transformation, his personality begins to change. Even though he still has a temper and can still be cocky, he listens to other people's needs. He tries to help. He doesn't want to be just another dick. For the first time in his life he thinks he can be more than that, and part of that's because Caroline has challenged him to be. But it's not a perfect transformation. He still has cowardly moments, or ones where he just fucks up. And a lot of that's because he's still trying to discover who he is. The strongest example of this is when he doesn't interfere when the other werewolves are torturing Caroline. He had had a fight with her earlier over hiding the other vampires in the town, and had beens scared to interefere. He didn't quite understand just yet what being someone's friend really meant. But unlike before, he realizes he fucked up. So he leaves, to figure himself out. To find a way to better control his new werewolf traits.
Despite his lone wolf tendencies, he does have loyalty to those he cares about. When he eventually comes back to Mystic Falls it's because his mother is in the hospital. And even with as shaky as his relationship with his father was, when Matt starts badmouthing him after his death he gets very upset. When Caroline claims to not want to be friends with him anymore he doesn't try to push himself back into her life but instead agrees. She deserves better than him. Even tries to hekp patch things up between her and Matt. Because she deserves to be happy.
So far, Tyler's had almost more character development than any other character in the first two seasons. One of the best examples of how far he's come is in the episode "The Hybrid." When he figures out his mother is testing to see if he's a vampire he confronts it head on, and pushes farther when he figures out she was behind who kidnapped Caroline. And goes even farther by exposing himself as a werewolf to his mother in order to try to help Caroline. This is something we would have never seen Tyler of the first season do. But he's grown up. He was thrown head first into a few bad situations and became better for it.

Background:

Canon point:
From the end of the second episode of the third season, The Hybrid, after he's revealed to his mother that he's a werewolf.
If you are apping a character arriving from another game: N/A
Special Abilities:
Werewolves of their world have both super strength and super speed, but not as much as the vampires there. Though during the full mood they can easily overpower any vampire. They also have accelerated healing, enhanced senses, durability, and lie detection. A werewolf bite in their world is deadly to vampires.
Every full moon, they transform into a wolf. It is an excruciatingly painful process. Their wolf form looks much like a normal wolf would and in it a werewolf has no control over themselves. Because of this, many try to chain themselves up during the full moon to prevent themselves from hurting anyone.
In CS, I plan on having Tyler adjust to the lunar cycle of whatever planet he's on. Like when he first gets there he'd adjust to Courscant's lunar cycle.
Weaknesses for werewolves are wolfsbane, high frequency noises, and if you remove the heart of a werewolf it results in instant death.

Job:
Student...? I'm not sure.
Samples:
First Person:
[The holovid opens up to Tyler sitting on his bed, wearing an ugly ass jumper. The benefits of being naked before arriving? If you could call it that. Anyways, he looks and sounds rather pissed when he speaks.]
So does someone want to tell me what the hell is going on here? Last thing I remember I was home, asleep, and then I woke up here which looks like something you'd see in some stupid cheesy scifi movie or something.
[He clenches his hands at his side. It's taking all his self control not to hulk out.]
I need to get home. There's important things I have to do. Someone's life is at risk if I don't go help her, and I can't do that here. Wherever the hell here is.
So if someone wants to give me some answers, or even better, a way to get the hell out already, I'm all ears.
[And he ends the feed, too pissed to continue right now.]
Third Person:
His body was sore. It always was after a transformation. It wasn't as bad as the first time (he doubted anything would ever hurt quite as much as that first transformation had) but it still hurt. He felt disoriented. He remembered his mother promising to help Caroline, but then he had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Which meant he should still be in the cellar of the old Lockwood estate.
But as his eyes focused he could tell wherever he was, it was too nice for that. For one thing, he was on a bed. For another? He was no longer chained up or in a cage. At first he thought maybe his mother had found a way to bring him back to the house, but this definitely wasn't his room either.
Or any room he recognized. It looked...well, like something out of an old scifi movie or something. He'd think he was dreaming but he was too sore to be dreaming. The only time he was this sore in a dream was if he was dreaming about Caro-
Caroline.
He was supposed to be helping her. Well, he wasn't supposed to be or anything, no one was making him, but he wasn't going to make that mistake a second time either. She was too important. Had his mother been able to help her? What was going to happen? A million questions came through his mind.
It was just about now that he realized what he was wearing. It was a really, really ugly orange and white jumpsuit. Not his look at all, but there was more important things right now. He rose to his feet, making a determined stride toward the door when he spotted something.
It looked almost like a tablet or something. It was some kind of communication device. Well, that would make this easier then. He could use this to find some answers, and then get the hell out. Because he sure as hell wasn't going to stay. There was too much at stake back at home.
He had to get back.
