Personality and History
Tylo can be described as a very grounded Viscet, through his intelligent mind and calm demeanor. He is very conscious of his surroundings and uses all that he experiences to learn and live life to the fullest of his extent. When it comes to any sort of conflict or stress within his life, he is able to assess the problem with a level head, and never panics. He enjoys being around other's that also display a certain zen to their personality that makes both him and his companions content. Content is probably the most accurate work used to describe Tylo, for he is happy with who he is and what he has become. Anger, jealousy, hatred, judgment; these are all things Tylo makes a habit to keep himself away from. Tylo rarely shows any sort of anger towards others, at most he will show disappointment, but that's what happens when you see the best in everyone around you. While some may confuse Tylo's calm with just not caring, he is a very kind Viscent who ins't bothered with the labels of life. He believes that everyone has the right to express themselves the way they desire and become who they wish to be. He enjoys small adventures such as a walk through the park, or a late night drive listening to indie music. When asked if he wants to go somewhere or do something his response is always something like "yeah that sounds cool lets do it." He is fascinated by those who pursue their passions and appreciates all of the different ways art is expressed through the different personalities of the world.

Tylo is a rather independent Viscent, due to his past relationships with his family, he spent a lot of time in his childhood alone, watching others, especially his uptight mother, who divorced his father for another man. Tylo's mother had fallen out of love with his mother, and struggled severely through the divorce, and grew a depression that made her neglect giving attention to her only son. As she submerged herself into her new love, and desperately tried to forget her past marriage and life, she began to forget about Tylo as well. She still took care of his basic needs, food, clothing, shelter, but she did not give him the attention a young boy needs to grow. This helped Tylo to grow the personality he has; if he didn't have a mother to help him become a man, he would become who he wanted to be on his own. As he got older he stopped spending time at home and would spend lots of time outside by himself, or out with the many friends he accumulated through time. Although he calls them friends, it is very hard to Tylo to grow a close relationship with anyone he hangs around, because he doesn't really know how. His father left when he was very young, and his mother was never there for them, so he doesn't have the social skills, or the courage to grow to close to anyone. This doesn't usually bother him, because he doesn't think about it that much. He has himself, he has the sun, the moon, the stars, and of course, he has his plants.

Gardens and Getaways
Tylo's Favorite Place to Be and his Fish Friends

Being a very independent child, Tylo had lots of time to himself growing up, which created lots of time to fully indulge himself in his surroundings. He began to pay close attention to the beauty if the ocean plants around him, the way they grew strong and beautiful by themselves without the help of others, and used them as a motivation to grow and keep himself strong both mentally and physically. He loves to spend time in the open ocean reefs where the coral and plant life brings security and companionship to his life. He is fascinated as well with the idea of plants above the surface, and hopes one day to see a real life cactus and study how it grows with little to no water, unlike the plants around him which can not live outside of it. There is one reef in particular, a couple miles from the home his mother owns, where Tylo began to live on his own in a small cave. When he found the reef, it was slightly struggling due to pollution and neglect, and Tylo began staying day at a time in the cave to help nurture the sea life back to health. Eventually, he didn't return to his mother's abode, and found solace from here within the reef. This will always be his favorite spot, a place of healing, both for himself and the flora around him.

Living in the reef, Tylo got the opportunity to discover many of the oceans beautiful creatures, but one his favorites would be the Octopus. He loves the way it moves so gracefully and can adapt itself so easily to it's surroundings both through camouflage and physically changing it's body. The octopus also tends to keep to itself, and Tylo enjoys the silent company of the octopus that has made a home for itself in the shelving of rock outside his home.

Tylo slammed the door behind him as he left his mother's house. She was ignoring him again, pretending he wasn't there while she talked about packing up and moving everything. Did she even plan on taking him with her? No, she would have just left him behind like she always did. He stalked along the road quietly, taking in the relief the fresh air gave him, the same calm he longed for within his home. He walked along silently for almost an hour, not worried about where he was going, but only happy he was out in the world where he would be noticed. He noticed an overgrown dirt path extending from the road that led closer down to the beach, and decided to take it just to see what he could find. The path twisted and didn't go directly down to the beach like he thought it would, but instead led him to a small clearing next the water. The clearing had obviously not been inhabited in quite some time, as it was overgrown with brush and the water was a slightly grey color. Tylo could see all of the garbage and pollution that had washed up into the small reef area. There was also an outcropping of rocks that started in the water, and came up onto land where it formed into a decent sized cave. Entering the cave, Tylo concluded that someone had been living here long ago.
There was a wooden door broken and up against the cave wall that would fit perfectly over the opening at the mouth. It was a wide cave with enough room for sleeping, storage, and maybe even company. As Tylo exited the cave and followed the rocks down to the water, he noticed a small coral plant growing close into the water's edge. It had a plastic bottle ring rapped around it,
and the plant looked almost.. sad, to Tylo. He jogged over and pulled the plastic off of the coral and cleared away all of the garbage around it as well. "There you go little guy," he cooed at the plant, "you look to have been forgotten. All you need is someone to take care of you." Tylo's face turned somber as he realized the words he spoke not only pertained to the plants,
but to himself as well. He sighed deeply and shook his head, not willing to let himself dwell on it too long. He studied the rest of the small, secluded reef and realized that all of the plants had been forgotten and left to fend for themselves in this polluted environment. "It's all right," Tylo said standing up straight and holding his head high, "I will take care of you."

Congratulations Razors!! You can have the art I did of him!<3 And Griff, would it be okay if I asked you to just surprise me with the rare trait? I am terrible at choosing things and I know I'll love whatever you come up with! Also, as a runner up would our Viscets be considered related? Or are they just two different?

[Razors]

Thank you so very much Grifforik! I love this guy so much! Thank you!

Fantastic congrats to you, Dolce!! I loved your story (though I felt so bad for him, too...): If you keep your story I would love to offer some friends to try and help cheer him up or keep him a bit of company? ^^ Up to you.)
Thank you for the artwork! I appreciate it so much! It may take a bit, but I'd like to do something for you when you get your RU too!

RU's don't have to be related, but a lot of people like to get together and make their adopts related.
I am up for this if you wanted, if not, no big deal!

Congrats again! I am excited to see your RU!

Thank you both so very much!
