Who is Tim?

…aside from a wizard of time and space?

Being a Silent Strider and a son of Rattlesnake, Tim is not the person to ask this question, because he’s unlikely to give you a useful answer. (Unless he’s particularly drunk–I hear Singha works wonders for getting him to reveal useful information.) In fact he pretty much evades answering anything unless it’s a direct question delivered by someone of higher rank, and even then he’s going to reveal as little as he can about himself in the process.

The US-born (and only) son of a Kashmiri immigrant and a Phoenix salesman descended from Irish Travelers, his take on many things is not that of your average American. He would say he’s both a Ganapatya and a Smarta, but really it’s Ganesha he turns to 90% of the time when he needs inspiration.

His wolf blood is derived from Indian wolves (this is actually an Iranian wolf, but Indian wolves look similar), and so in his wolf forms he’s lighter weight than his North American or European brethren, and his coat is a tawny blond and red with black markings. This makes him ideally suited to deserts like those that cover Nevada, Southern California, and Arizona (where he was raised), and considerably less suitable for colder, northern climates like the Northwest. (Oops!)

For his human appearence, I was somewhat inspired to his mixed heritage by famous folks cut from similar cloth. Of particular note are actor Rory Cochrane and musician Mike Shinoda, both of whom have general characteristics I thought of when describing him.

And this is about as much as you can get about him without me ruining it. Isn’t the fun of playing a character born to a secretive Tribe and raised in a secretive Sept in letting the clown out of the box only when the time is right?

(But if you really must know more, there’s a log of RP with Tatt, a fellow Strider, that’s vastly more illustrative of who he really is.)
