Tyrone Johnson is the leader of a small time Ul'dahn street gang known as the Pearl Lane Families and currently harbouring a once vengeful spirit now purified, which awakened inside of him some time after he woke up from a year-long coma. Tyrone was born in Ala Mhigo but could not for the life of him recall any important details.

Biography

Early Life

After the death of his parents at the age of four, Tyrone was taken away from his home in Ala Mhigo, and with his older cousin drifted from place to place. He was taught the basics of survival and how to fight, his cousin was the only person he considered a friend, though he did have feelings for a girl he met in a settlement at the age of 11.

Before the Calamity

When his 15th nameday came around the corner, he parted ways with his cousin who had found a stable place to live and support herself, and went to Ul'dah with intent on making a life of his own. He enlisted to join in the Immortal Flames, though the training he received after joining allowed him to build up a high kill count on missions, earning him the title "Vengeful Raven". A week prior to the Battle of Carteneau, he was transferred to the Maelstrom as an emergency replacement, allowing him to improvise on a farfetched fighting style involving a flintlock pistol and a sword, although this in conjunction with his arrogance cost him his right eye as his weapon backfired on him, causing him to pass out soon after, he was left behind as he blended amongst the bodies once the Maelstrom was given the order to retreat. Fortunately for him, he was found by a nomadic Dark Knight.

Post Calamity

Tyrone came to in an infirmary, lucky to be alive, though due to the severity of his injuries, he developed memory issues, though he was told what had happened which angered him to the point of resigning and learning the Dark Knight's ways of fighting. In a bid to make a living, he became a mercenary, taking whatever job he could find. Later, with the help of his mentor, he landed a security contract with an organization simply known as "The Company" where he met one of his closest friends, Kimiko Nachmittag. The two worked together on numerous jobs ranging from security jobs to hits intended to lessen the damage the Calamity dealt to the land. As 3 years passed, his mentor had disappeared, never to be seen again, which caused Tyrone a fair amount of stress, which lead to tensions rising between himself and his comrades as he would snap at them whenever they got on his nerves, he also became increasingly violent, only seeking out jobs he knew would involve destruction. After an intense argument with his commanding officer, he left on a job to cool himself off, on his way back, he was attacked in an airship by a witch on dragonback secretly under contract by the leader of the Company. He survived, but fell into a year long coma, being kept alive by the Company in attempt to cover their tracks.

Personality

On a constant basis, Tyrone has a tendency to be very arrogant, while displaying a tendency not to take things seriously, even if he was staring down the deadliest of monsters, because of this, he often underestimates his opponents which on numerous occasions spells his undoing. Since he was possessed by a spirit seemingly on the same level as that of a voidsent, he became increasingly violent, attacking anyone who threatens himself or his friends, he also displays the tendencies identical to a psychopath, he won't show any remorse in hurting or killing others, and he finds it difficult to connect to others on a personal level. Despite this, he believes in fairness and loyalty, the latter of which he fiercely has to anyone deserving of it.

Powers, Weapons & Abilities

Tyrone's arsenal is almost what you'd expect from a typical adventurer or sellsword, though in certain cases, people can't help but wonder how he got his gear. Due to certain skirmishes, he's either chosen not to wield his previous weapons, or he has lost them.

Weapons

Nothung - A weapon from an entirely different time, it was given to Tyrone as a keepsake by his mentor, where this weapon originated from at the time is a mystery even to him. (This weapon is being held onto by a retainer)

"Flag Dropper" - A high caliber break-action revolver given to him during his post-calamity exploits, it has a pure white coat with engravings down the barrel, a crudely written "flag dropper" has been etched into the outer chamber to signify the pet name he gave it some time after he woke up, not once has it failed him mechanically. (This weapon is no longer in his possession.)

Concealed Revolver - A replacement for Tyrone's favoured revolver, this weapon is significantly smaller in size making it easy for him to keep hidden in his coat, it still retains the power of any handgun, the fancy design on it does not offer any further tactical advantage what-so-ever, other than to serve as a paramount to his desire to stand out.

Brass Knives - Disposable knives Tyrone keeps hidden in his coat to get the drop on his enemies.
