CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Tyler Lockwood
Canon: The Vampire Diaries
Original or Alternate Universe: Original
Canon Point: 2x21, The Sun Also Rises, after Matt shoots him while he's transformed.
Number: 013
Setting: link to the wiki Mystic Falls. AKA the town of vampires, werewolves, magic and a lot of shenanigans.
History: Tyler @the vampire diaries wiki
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 athlete, 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 environments, 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 accidentally 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 becoming 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.
Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations:
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.
Weaknesses for werewolves are wolfsbane, high frequency noises, and if you remove the heart of a werewolf it results in instant death.
Inventory:
nothing :c he's going to be very naked when he shows up, as he'll be post transformation.
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.
Age: 18
AU Clarification: none
SAMPLES
Log Sample:
The night before is a blur, as they always are when he transformed. He remembered that they couldn't get to the cellar in time after Damon rescued him and Caroline. He remembered biting someone.
His stomach turned at the thought. He had been trying so hard to make sure he'd never hurt anyone when he was transformed. To have control over the wolf. But he bit Damon, he can remember that much. The rest is kind of a blur. There was the cellar, and Matt. and Caroline.
And the pain of being shot. Matt had shot him before he could hurt anyone else. He'd have to thank him for that later.
You know, assuming he got the chance to. Which right now? He wasn't so sure of.
He had been here for over a day before any of these memories started really coming back to him, just stumbling through the ship. He almost wished they hadn't come back. That he could have gone a little longer not remembering what he was. Who he was.
A monster with no control.
He was directed to a locker where his things should be, but he wasn't surprised to find nothing in there of his. After all, it wasn't like he had anything on him when he transformed. He wasn't the hulk, as he once put it to Caroline, it wasn't a stretchy special clothes sort of situation.
But these is a uniform, and some underwear, and that sure as hell beats the nothing he's had to deal with since he woke up in the status station. So there was that.
He had no idea what was going on, where the hell he was. Everything felt more like a bad sci-fi movie than anything close to reality. And his first reaction was to get pissed, to angry at the people directing him around the area like he was supposed to just be some good little prisoner. Screw that.
But when he got to his quarters he saw that there were communication devices. And people, other prisoners, were talking on them. So he'd try that for answers first. And if that failed?
Well then he might go back to the pummeling for answers scenario. It was a good fallback, if nothing else.
Comms Sample:
[The feed opens up to a rather pissed off looking teenage boy. Temper has never been one of Tyler's strong point, and surprise, being kidnapped against his will is triggering said temper pretty badly.]
So, does someone want to tell me what the hell is going on here or what?
First I walk around for a zombie for a day, and then when everything comes back it looks like I'm in some weird sci-fi movie or some crap like that. Which you know, while cool in some ways, really is what I want to be dealing with right now.
You know, at all.
I have shit to do at home [He needs to find out how Damon's doing, though he doubt it's well. He doesn't like the guy, but that doesn't mean he feels okay about biting him, sentencing him to his death.] To say this was inconvenient timing?
Well that's an understatement to say the least. So if anyone could tell what the hell is going on and how to go home? Now would be the time.
[And with that, he cuts things off.]
