[ AGE ] : 24
[ SPECIES ] : Mixed
[ HOROSCOPE ] : Taurus
[ SEXUALITY ] : Gay
[ SIGNIFICANT OTHER ] : None
[ OCCUPATION ] : Pet Store Staff Member
[ HEIGHT ] : 5'11"
Teak is an unambiguous individual, who dislikes wasting time on irritating matters, and is attracted to bluntness and honesty. By nature he is extremely self-reliant, almost never asking things of others granted that he's capable of doing them for himself. He shoulders and resolves near all of his burdens on his own, and finds little discomfort in doing so. Teak is able to steel himself and cope with many types of experiences, by willpower and capacity alone, and is thus flexible even in dire conditions. At times he himself can be direct, but this usually occurs when he's irritated; at which point he takes on more of a no-nonsense attitude. As a result, some people know him to only be cranky and unpleasant to speak with. With rare friends, he's much more at ease and tolerant. Teak is upfront about what he thinks, and if confident enough, how he feels as well.

[ FAMILY ] : His mother died during his late teens, and his father is estranged and does not know of Teak's birth.
[ ABILITIES ] : Power sensing and identification. This works as a passive skill, allowing Teak to sense the presence of others within a certain radius via their powers. He is able to tell the general nature of their power automatically, but can only determine the exact details when they are close enough to touch. Secondarily, Teak is able to form translucent barriers that can block all physical attacks until the barrier is lowered. However, the barrier will weaken under the strain of keeping out other types of attacks (such psychic and elemental based onslaughts).

- His father was of elven lineage, and his mother was human, which was a passion-fueled love-hate relationship that ended poorly.
- Given that Teak lacks elven ears, his father's blood was a fact that was often deliberately swept under the rug as Teak was growing up, for the sake of avoiding outside commentary.
- His blood type is O, and he is left-handed.
- Knows general massage techniques.
- Teak owns a pet pygmy goat.
- Wears glasses for reading and finer tasks.
- He shivers pretty easily.
- Swirls his finger in circular motions on surfaces (e.g. tabletops, cup rims) when thinking.
- Maple flavoured things, especially lattes.
- Snowy weather.
- Jokes made by people he likes. (Usually regardless of the joke quality.)
- Fireworks.
- Late night disturbances.
- The loud, self-centred "yell-and-shriek" female archetype.
- Superficial or dishonest people.
- Carnivals.
- Calling people names of any sort.
