FULL APPEARANCE:
Tychon's skin is tanned and worn from turns spent on ships at sea. He has freckles absolutely everywhere, but especially on his face and shoulders, and he has some pox scars. His nose is crooked, having been broken once in his youth and badly reset. He does not smile often, which makes him seem more serious, but really he's just self-conscious about his crooked teeth (which are really not as bad as he thinks). He has a deep voice, and is often soft-spoken.
Turns of hard labor on a ship has given him an extremely fit physique, and he is not shy about showing it off by wearing tops that show a lot of skin when he isn't just going topless altogether. He typically wears his long hair down, but will quickly tie it back if he needs to do work. He also wears heavy eyeliner, and between that and his hair, it gives him a slightly more alluring air, although the eyeliner serves the more practical purpose of helping to sun from being too blinding.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Tychon originally comes across as cool and aloof, preferring to sit in a corner shuffling cards and letting people come to him rather than approaching them himself. It's not that he's shy, he just prefers to study
Tychon's childhood means that he has many
Tychon is not above flirting with people to get them to do what he wants, and will happily string people along who he feels no attraction to at all. Again, if they're fool enough to fall for that, it's their own fault and they deserve to be taken in. Tychon is a smooth-talker, and often able to wiggle their way out of getting in trouble unless there's irrefutable evidence they were doing something explicitly against the rules. He enjoys showing off card tricks
Tychon doesn't have much in the way of an obvious temper, but he is an unbelievably petty person, and will go to pretty wild lengths just to spite someone he's angry at, all with a pleasant smile on his face. He also never forgets a slight, and is willing to wait turns for the perfect opportunity to get back at someone if they've really irritated him. He avoids the healer's hall like the plague, as he has an oversized fear of getting sick.

Tychon was born to
Once as a teen, Tychon wasn't paying attention and got hit in the face by one of the ship's many moving parts. That was when his nose was broken. He refused to go to the ship's healer, having an irrational fear of contracting the pox that almost killed him as a child should he so much as step foot in the ship's infirmary, so his father set his nose instead. It hurt, and it healed crooked, but Tychon preferred that to having to go to the infirmary for such a simple injury that was absolutely his own mistake. His father made the mistake of telling him he wouldn't make a good sailor if he couldn't keep his head out of the clouds. It hurt Tychon to hear more than his father had meant it to, and Tychon nursed that grudge for turns.
Tychon's father likes all things avian, which was why he named his ship what he did. At every port, he would try to befriend birds, nurse any injured birds he'd find back to health and even raised a few. He gave Tychon his own pet bird to raise when he was sixteen, and Tychon has doted on the creature ever since.
Due to his parents' profession, Tychon learned to pick pockets and locks, count cards, load dice, and many other slight-of-hand tricks that would allow him to help his family part people from their money as they moved around. Cards were one of Tychon's particular favorites, and with his intense, unflinching expression, he could unnerve even some experienced card players. When Semaca became an available port of call, his family smoothly added it into their rotation, and it quickly became a favorite. When Tychon was searched...well, his father had once told him he wouldn't make a good sailor if he couldn't keep his head out of the clouds. He reminded his father of that moment and told him he'd be joining Semaca weyr so he could keep his head firmly in the clouds. His father was angry at first, but mostly because his son was being petty and ridiculous and had a promising future as a sailor, but his temper is as changeable as the sea, and Tychon is confident he'll get over it. Eventually.
