Tikrin isn't the first person you'll notice in a room. Not because he's ugly, but because he tends to keep in the shadows. His whole presence seems to meld in with darkness and cease to exist. When one finally does notice him, they'll see the black hair, the golden brown eyes, the smirk that says he has something up his sleeve. He screams dangerous to most he meets, and just plain bad to others.
Only more aged people see him for the young man, scared and uncertain, that he is. Instead, most fixate on the proud jaw and nose, the arches of his face. Things that make him look angled and masculine. No part of him has a delicate beauty. In fact, he seems a bit rough. He doesn't have a beard. He has scruff along his face, and his hair is shorter, but messily kept. In a way it always looks like he just woke up. He's tall as well, and has lean muscle that is covered in tiny scars.

Tikrin is the kind of young man that one would hear about in a story. An antagonist, he is never the one to strive for good. He's the one that likes causing trouble. Really, he's even cruel as some would say. He picks at your fears, your insecurities, till he has you at a breaking point. Then he'll back away and observe his work with an innocent grin. Some may call it evil, others would look up and worship him. Only those able to cut through the bs can understand his reasoning and methods. He's not sadistic, or not entirely. He's actually quite insecure himself. He doesn't want to be forgotten, and he doesn't want to be in the back seat.
The last thing on Tikrin's mind is relinquishing control. Which, is why he plays mind games so often. The other reason is that he likes to set things in motion. He wants to understand people, and perhaps he wants to understand himself. He's curious, he wants to know what each individual breaking point is. How far does it reach, how strong does he have to be to break it, how quickly does it build up again? He has to know. In fact if you were to ask him why he does what be does, he'd reply that he was bored.
The fact is, Tikrin is smart. He is incredibly gifted with knowledge and the ability to get more, something that most believe is a mutation in his brain. He's not a people person, but he wants to understand them. In some ways, he's even a mad scientist. He's just the one that loves watching his lab rats squirm while he tests them. So many have told him he's wasting his talent. Tikrin disagrees. He believes his, more recreational means put his skills to better use. He likes the challenge, the rebellion, the freedom. In some ways, he's addicted to manipulating situations and people. Not because of the thrill though that too is nice. It's his security blanket. He needs it to feel good and secure.
Perhaps the only redeeming thing, or two about Tikrin are ones that are both expected, and unexpected. The first is expected really. He lies true. He cheats, he's actually addicted to gambling. Be prods and jests and makes your life miserable. However, he will not hesitate to point out your flaws. Why you may ask then is this a good personality trait? Sure it is cruel in it's own way, but he can be honest when people really need honesty the most. Few can be as truthful in those times, and Tikrin prides himself on this. The second is less expected.
Tikrin will not stand for someone to be harmed physically or mentally when they have done nothing to deserve it. Now, you're probably thinking "Isn't he cruel and somewhat evil though?'" While this is true, when it comes to an innocent getting hurt, Tikrin will defend them. When it's someone that deserves it however, he will join in or be right their at the center. He will even watch himself as he's pushing buttons so that he doesn't ever go past the point where his "victim" breaks completely. Whether it is verbal abuse or fighting, Tikrin is valiant in this alone.

History
Tikrin grew up in Ista Weyr with the other weyrbrats just like Panille did. The difference was that his parents actually tried to keep up with him. This is probably where Tikrin started his curiosity for humans. He always wondered how it was that some parents like Pan's could easily throw her away, while others like his were almost too doting on him. He tested different theories, made his parents mad often with confusion for his actions, all in the name of curiosity.
He wanted to know why people did things, how they worked, and how he could change them. It's mostly because his mind was so intelligent and inquisitive, he had to keep it busy with something. The only person he didn't do anything to was Pan, and that's because the first few times she made his life miserable. He's smart, he learned to leave his friend alone. Tikirn was always clueless though as to why Pan and the boy later known as S'vrin stayed with him all those turns.
They both were in candidate training together, neither impressing until Panille finally met Iliath. Even here the two have stuck together through Pan's escapades as a thief, and his tricks and experiments with the other candidates. To Tikrin, this environment proves to be interesting with many personalities in a time of a human's life that changes drastically. Not to mention the angst after every hatching is fun to study too.
When the Obsidian was hatched though and Panille slowly but surely became closer to S'vrin, Tikrin withdrew into himself not trusting anyone. It wasn't until more recently that he decided to try and make amends with his once good friend. Besides, Trelis had so many deliciously interesting events going on. Naturally the boy just couldn't stay away.
