Tamika Kohana Lynxs
The worlds a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying
I wish you were here
I wish You Were Here - Incubus

Physical Age: 17
Date of Birth: May 7th 1994
Place of Birth: Orangeville, Ontario
Character Race: Unique
Ethnicity: Scottish, Irish, English, Japanese(1/4)
Occupation: Tengu Combatants Boss
As horrible and violent as the occupation sounds it’s really not all that bad. Tamika’s the head of a family business that deals in protecting people for a living.
Marital/Relationship Status: Single
Hometown: Orangeville, Ontario
Alignment: Neutral
Gender: Female
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 132.5Lbs
Body Build: You could call her muscular and athletic for a girl of her size. She’s strong and can kick butt.
Eyes: Medium deep set green eyes.
Hair: Mid-back length blond hair. Natural color is light brown.
Sexuality: Straight
Personal Style: To say it in one word would be Punk. Tamika loves the dark colours and heavy lifestyle that goes along with it. She’s a fan of the leather, mini-skirts and plaid tops not to mention the belts and chains. Mika’s not afraid to throw some colour in her hair either. She often looks like a guy and is often mistaken for one.
Distinguishing Features: She has a tattoo of a raven over her left eye. It’s the symbol of her abilities but most think it’s gang related or has some emotional meaning. She had it put on her eye because of the meaning the Raven holds to some cultures. The Native American holy men understood that what the physical eye sees is not always the truth. The raven was used to clarify matters that the eye did not see.
Best Feature:Her stunning and overwhelming personality. Mika’s very outgoing to say the least.
Worst Feature: She can be very hot-tempered when people upset her or poke fun at her.
Face Claim: Avril Lavigne
Personality: It would be impossible to sum Tamika’s personality up onto just one page. She’s anything but your average teenage girl. Tamika’s very outgoing and spontaneous; she will stand up in a crowded room and yell something obscene just because the moment calls for it. More than a bit tomboyish Tamika is the ultimate female daredevil. She never says no to a challenge (especially when food is involved) and she’s not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Tamika’s also not one to let others be pushed around by bullies. She may come off as a devil-may-care person to most people but she’s really not. Tamika’s very caring towards others even if she doesn’t show it and she’s not as emotionally strong as most think either.
There is a deep side to Tamika most never see or care to understand and more often than not when she smiles she doesn’t really mean it. Her eyes are always filled with an empty pain from the loss of her parents but she tries desperately to not let that get in the way. She’s loud and obnoxious for a reason and it has to do with her getting tired of people always asking if she is okay. Would you be okay if the two most important people in your life suddenly died? I don’t think so. Tamika’s a fun girl to be around if one can handle her fierce personality.
Weapon: |Her hands, Tamika’s a good hand to hand combat fighter but besides that she relies on her power.
Talent(s): Tamika’s very good at painting and drawing, you can often find her sitting alone with a sketchbook and a pencil on a sunny day.
Flaw(s): She doesn’t always understand how others are feeling and sometimes makes the wrong choice because of it.

Powers: She’s a shape shifter with the ability to turn into a raven. There’s not much more to say about it except she’s can do a partial transformation and grow wings to fly. She enjoys the ability to fly and to feel the wind on her face; it’s a calming thing for her. Tamika’s dead scared of cats though because they can more or less smell the “bird” in her and it often leads to disaster so she tells everyone she’s allergic to them. Not to mention since her bone structure is much lighter than a humans it makes it hard for her to swim so she can’t really. Tamika’s quite fast though and a strong fighter, the light bones make it easier for her to move about. A side effect of her shape shifting was the ability to have a photographic memory and that’s been more of a hinder then a help to her. She can remember everything and she can’t forget anything either. Every horrible thing that’s happened to her was remembered.
Other: Her photographic memory could be considered her other special ability.
Mother: Isabella Dan (Felix) Lynxs, Died when she was 32.
Isabella was Tamika’s mother. She was an artist who didn’t get much credit for her work but she was a hard worker. She was a very outgoing and funny person not to mention kind. When she was 32 she died in a plan accident on her way to an exhibition in New York.
Father: Toshi Lynxs, Died when he was 36
Toshi was Tamika’s father. There’s nothing extraordinary about him except he was a chief and the leader of the Lynxs family shape shifters. He’s also 1/3 Japanese blood; the men in his family have a habit of falling for the English lady. You could call him a clan leader really; he was a strict man but was never mean to anyone. Toshi loved his wife and daughter very much but sadly died in the same accident that killed Tamika’s mother. He went with her to New York and it was the last time Tamika saw her parents. Toshi had left Tamika in the care of his best friend before he left. She’s been in his care ever since.
Sibling(s): None
Children: None
Others: Ravinger Terrel Roderick, 47 years old. He’s Tamika’s Godfather and has been looking after her since she was 8 years old. Ravinger was Toshi’s closest friend and companion when it came to causing trouble for others. He’s done his best to raise Tamika into a lady her parents would be proud of but he knows that he’s no father. He would go to the end of the world and back for Tamika’s sake and has always told her to smile even when everything’s looking bad.
History:Born May 7th 1994, Tamika had to grow up fast under the protective influence of her father. She was the oldest and only child so that meant she was also the heir to the Lynxs Clan. She was named after her great-grandmother on her father’s side and her middle name Kohana came from the original female head of her family. Tamika had a lot of her father’s expectations to live up to and so she studied hard and played even harder when she had the chance. Her mother was an aspiring small town artist with little to her name but she was very talented with a brush. It was from her mother that Tamika learned to draw and paint as good as she does now. Though because Tamika was an only child she didn’t have many people her own age to talk to outside of school; she became very close friends with her father’s right hand man Ravinger Roderick who was an adopted member of the Lynxs clan and Tamika’s Godfather.
When Tamika was 8 years old her parents went to New York for an art exhibition for her mother. Tamika went with them to the airport escorted by Ravinger and watched them get on the plane after a brief goodbye. Little did Tamika Know that it would also be the last time she would see them. An hour after the plane left it crashed while experiencing some electrical problems. Tamika’s been in the care of Ravinger ever since and also the head of her family. Life didn’t get that much more exciting afterwards, Tamika continued to study her family trade of fighting and defending those around her and leading a clan. When she was 10 years old she came into her powers and when she was 15 she learned to do the famous Lynxs Clan partial transformation. Tamika dropped out of high school around the same time she gained the ability to do a partial transformation. She picked up a few things after through experience but her photographic memory she also gained when she was 10 made learning everything easy. Tamika wasn’t actually supposed to inherit the responsibility of her clan until she was 25 but when she turned 16 Ravinger passed the job onto her because he claimed he was getting too old for the job. The Tengu Combatants is a hired body oriented company where the members are hired bodyguards to whoever deals out the most cash. It’s not as awful sounding as most think though, the Tengu Combatants has strict rules and the Clan members are usually very friendly outside of work. Ever since Tamika turned 16 she’s been leading a lonely life. She left home to follow her own path but always keeps in touch with the family as their head.
Role Play Sample:
((This is an older Role Play Sample I did for another character))
Eerie, this graveyard that drew her attention away from the living and toward the deathly shadows. Sabalea'lochan was not sure why she was here. Was it the tendrils of fog that weaved their way around her legs and around the graves? They were mesmerizing she had to admit. Though that wasn't what drew Sabalea'lochan to this place.
This place had a crushing weight to it, something that most places did not. It reminded her of something, the stench of death and wet moss perked her interest. This graveyard felt like the darkest depths of her home where she had spent her childhood. The suffocating atmosphere and the chill was like a warm blanket. How ironic that something cold could be warm. Even more ironic was that Sabalea'lochan could find this place so comforting.
She paused mid stride and reexamined her surroundings. While Sabalea'lochan was thinking she hand wandered farther and farther into the graveyard.
I hope I'm not lost...
She couldn't see, it was like the fog had a mind of its own; and maybe it did. Sabalea'lochan strained to see something but there was nothing but darkness and gray gloom. Her attention was drawn to the east by her curiosity and the need to see again.
Hello...?
Her voice trembled, it sounded so small and quiet in this place; and that noise on the wind, it chilled her more than the damp did.
Is anyone there?
Sabalea'lochan whispered as she stumbled blindly into the fog.
