After his encounter with countess_hearts, Tyki was given permission to do as he pleased in order to reawaken the memories within him. Now, she did mention a caveat but he doesn't remember those things, right? Right. So this is a way to keep track or get an idea of the state of the Memories in his head and what it will take to get them to surface.

Joyd UNLOCKED This sounds like a video game, doesn't it?
His original memory, and the one he is the closest to. His appearance is that of a shadow with a vaguely humanoid form. He favors Joyd heavily as their personalities seem so very compatible.

Trigger: Joyd getting locked to him is not out of the range of possibilities, but it would take a lot to lose. Tyki would have to do something exceedingly selfless to disgust Joyd enough to not want to do anything to him. And we are talking on the level of Allen Walker here. Putting oneself in harms way for no other reason than to save another. This isn't like the horror hall or dream event where if all the layers are pulled back he is helping for selfish reasons. Those selfish reasons being he wants the person around because he enjoys their presence in some form of another. Saving an enemy or a stranger would be something along the lines that would break this bond. A decision where he is fully aware that the outcome's benefit will not be greater than the effort put in.

Lustul UNLOCKED
Lustul is seen as a woman with hair that changes color constantly to reflect her mood or the surroundings. Somehow she has become the reason of the Noah. The adult in a group of children, per say. Not so much a mother hen, but the one that directs them toward an appropriate goal or persuades them to listen to the Earls bidding. After talking to cardio_swindle's Joyd, she has some things in mind on how she would like to change her standing and view on her host. But this is TBD until I figure out what that is.

Trigger: Like Joyd, it is possible to lock the power that Lustul provides. Disobeying the Earl and their goal would do this. So turning traitor (pure traitor in the sense of turning his back on the Noah family, possibly fighting them to end their existence) would lock the abilities. This is not currently foreseeable in the future as he truly likes being a Noah. More tl;dr in Tyki's own personality section.

Desires
Trigger: Desires is half taking things and half being a bit of a sadist. Tyki does enjoy taking things. His Memory of proof enough of that, but he likes to coerce people into them. That is where it comes in conflict. Desires wants him to take. Pleasure wants him to play the game as that is part of the fun. Walking the fine line in a sense. Making people guess what his true intentions are. The memory will grow stronger in him as he continues to take things rather than play with his food so to speak. It will waken completely if he chooses Desires over Joyd in a rather critical manner. Jealousy would be one --- aka killing lastnightswish instead of just breaking a bone. It will need to be a conscious choice.

Wisely (Wisened? Not sure)
Trigger: Messing with someone's mind rather unnerves him. Once he gets over this, mastering Wisely's Memory will be simple compared to the others. He has enough practice juggling other personalities that he isn't going to be overwhelmed by messing in someone else's head. That is just another ball he'll have to keep up in the air.

Bondomu
Trigger: Very unlikely this will ever happen. He needs a bond similar to what Jasdevi have. Someone who is essentially the other half of his soul. Someone he'd feel guilty not telling about every faucet of his being with. In short, another who was not someone else but rather an extension of him.

Wratha
Trigger: Hate. Pure revenge will cause Wratha to open. However, once this Memory is unleashed all the others will be inaccessible to him. But that won't be at the forefront of his mind as his rational thoughts will be out the window. Unlike the other memories, this one will use him rather than Tyki using it. It will consume him.

14th Ark abilities unlocked when around dreamsofnoah
Trigger: When around Road, he's gained the ability to move the Ark. However, music isn't his strong point. Nor is body hopping. He doesn't understand the 14th and his motives. It makes it difficult to relate with the man, and hence his memory. He's not even quite sure what the extent of his abilities are. And honestly, he doesn't feel the need to find out. Pursuing this avenue is going to be the first barrier Tyki has to break in order to reveal this. But 14ths are usually unstable fellows, and he doesn't want to end up that way.

Earl/Adam
Trigger: In order to achieve this, he is going to have to whole-heartedly believe in what the Earl is doing. And this isn't just 'I'm on your side, when is the company picnic?". This is a devotion to carry on the Earl's work. To add to it. To learn to create Akuma. To be happy about creating them. He currently thinks they are quite disgusting creatures. Fully awakening the Earl's powers means he will in a sense become the Earl. Or a substitute version of him in ideals. He won't go about knitting and cooing over how Akuma are precious, but he'll believe in the cause. Until that time, the Earl's power will be sporadic and unreliable. He's pulled it off successfully once, but chances are next time he'll be devouring himself in such an attack.

And most importantly, arguably, the personality of Tyki Mikk himself.

Tyki is not a decent human being in any sense. Sure, he isn't one that can feel no human attachment, compassion and empathy for his fellow man. More that he understands good will and chooses to ignore it more often than not. He's not going to go out of his way to help someone like Allen Walker. The plight of human kind doesn't affect him. Natural disasters or episodes of mass loss of life don't really register. He's lazy, conceited, and so very, very selfish. He puts himself (and the Noah Memories within him) above everything else. As long as those ducks are in a row so to speak, he's quite content with the world.

However, he does realize his world is going to change drastically at one point. He isn't going to die one day in his sleep after a long and happy life. The Memories are going to gradually spread or force their way out the longer he waits. He really has no idea what to do about this. So, he simply chooses to ignore it as it isn't in his realm to control. That and when he stops to think about it, well, he quickly tries to think of something else.

Being stuck in the DR has shaped him more than he would care to admit. He's seen enough Noah and their reactions. He is actually surprised how some of them flock away from the Boss. He can understand their initial reservations about the Countess seeing as his own history with her wasn't paved with roses. But what he can't understand is how they can consider themselves Noah. It isn't who they follow, but more that they seem to view life as something is missing that they can be fulfilled somewhere else. That being a Noah just isn't what it is all cracked up to be. While this may or may not be true, this is how he views it. He himself can't make heads or tails of this. He likes being a Noah. The power it brings, the opportunity. He can't imagine himself a normal human to do tasks day in and day out. Nor can he imagine being an Exorcist under the leash of the Order. He views being a Noah as a part of what he is. A free ticket to a life of amusement. Something he was always meant to be. He enjoys it. He doesn't see why others have a different view.

He can't help but be biased a bit to the Noah side, can he? Though, he has no reason to. His own family never betrayed him. And as they say, 'distance makes the heart fonder' so he might make the memories of them more cheerful and full of life than they actually are. Oh, he played the sitting on the fence game. But it wasn't so much of going traitor as just leaving the family in the DR to its own devices. He'd spent enough time with defecting Noahs to be uncertain of where to stand, but then a little bundle of joy known as dreamsofnoah came along. And that really is what cemented it for him. He's a Noah. That's a good thing, and no one can really convince him otherwise. Sure, other worlds seem to have it rough. But those are other worlds, not his. It doesn't affect him.

cardio_swindle also has this affect on him. While Road is his mentor, inspiration, Noah muse in a loose sense, the other Tyki is his happy hour pal. When it comes to Noah and the general circumstance they both are in, he does believe they are of the same mind. And while the opinions of most Tykis, or most anyone else, doesn't matter, it is somewhat refreshing to see another one of himselves walk the same path as him in a very loose sense. While he doesn't even realize this himself, it affirms that he isn't lost off in the woods somewhere trying to make heads or tails without a map or compass. This is a path others would take happily. The fact that he really enjoys his company, is someone he can relax/speak his mind around, and respects is just icing to the cake.

Outside of those two, there is everyone else. They all fall into various buckets and categories. There are those who he respects. Allison, Alex, Countess, and even Constantine to a degree. (Now isn't that a crazy list!) These are people he will make an effort to assist when and where he can because he generally wishes them well. He won't jeopardize his own agenda for them, but he does listen to them. Whether he follows up on it or not is a different matter. He also tends to hold them to a higher bar than he would normal people. This group is the type that will affect the world on a much large scale than he can imagine doing. He's lazy by nature. Doesn't see a reason that the world needs such a drastic makeover. As such, it is a rather huge disappointment, and that isn't quite the correct term, when someone of this group dies. It is akin to watching one's favorite sports star failing hard core at a game. Makes one unhappy at the fact, but it doesn't really diminish that the person is damn good at what they do. Nor is the respect ebbed away.

And there are a bunch of others that fill up gaps in his life. forwhomittolls, clownhate, ladyxnoxluck, lastnightswish, AirGear!Lavi and andsoshedreamed fall into this category. But they all do something a bit different, so I will try not to generalize it here. But its a group of people he enjoys spending his time with. But long term, he knows that they'll part ways at one point.

case_card will always have a special sort of relationship. He used to really not like his Exorcist versions, but after a few drunk episodes with him, he can actually see it. Where the other was coming from. He can't say that in the other's circumstances he wouldn't have chosen the same path. Because even though they argue and let snide comments fly on how different they are, at the core he realizes that they both do things for their own pleasure. To ensure the world will remain enjoyable to them. And that's a cause he can get behind.

Tyki surprising hates very few people. He'll choose to ignore existence rather than fume over his animosity towards another. And they are for petty reasons more often than not. A vague example might be brambleroad but that stems more from jealousy. The fact that he makes the choice sound so easy. And perhaps a bit because he owns Allison's heart. It isn't what the man has done so much as what he embodies. A result of his circumstances. Wannabes he will always dislike. He holds the family quite proud and doesn't want to see it sullied with people he doesn't believe are worthy to hold the title of Noah. Especially those that don't want to be a Noah get under his skin like nothing else.

... Hm. This ended up being more of a relationships than personality at the end. Can we say off topic? Oh, well. : ) Who wants pizza?
