Personal Info:
Tyvek and his two close friends, Sudu and Kanwar, are young elves of Godlings' Reach who've become dissatisfied with Reach society and, after Ionell brought back tales of his journey north, decided to leave the Reach and seek their fortune (and scope for their talents) elsewhere.
Tyvek is the extrovert of the three and usually seen as the "leader,"
partly due to this personality trait and partly because the Reach elves
consider him of higher status because of his Talent. If Tyvek himself
thought about it, he'd probably characterize himself more as spokesman
than leader, however. He is a rockshaper, but what the Reach elves
customarily use rockshaping for -- dueling -- bores him silly (and
disgusts him. Violence is so . . . icky). He doesn't want to
play dominance games, he wants to =create.= He wants to =build= .
. . somewhere where there's =room= for it. Not to mention adventure,
and excitement, and Really Wild Things. And neither New Hope nor
the Tower is quite what he's looking for . . . (Eventually, he and his
friends, along with Keshir, will be moving to Firsthold.)
Tyvek's customary light patter conceals considerable intelligence. I want to say he's good at math, but am not sure how far the Reach has gone with it -- things like geometry, stress analysis, things that would haveto do with architecture and building. If the Reach has developed this sort of thing, he's very good at it; if not, he'll pick it up from someone who =has= worked on it as soon as he's able (possibly the Kepetal? The Taiakaari?). Socially, he is quick to pick up undercurrents and innuendoes. While not malicious, he's rather self-centered; well-mannered more because it oils the wheels of social intercourse than because of a sincere regard for others' feelings.
Delicately sensual, sensitive to textures; also to tastes and smells.
A sincere lover of beauty.
