[[file:katana1.jpg|left|200px|Tyr's katana]] * '''Martial Arts''': While on the homeworld, Tyr studied the martial arts of many species, most notably ancient Earth. With over 200 years of training, practice, and discipline, he is an accoplished hand-to-hand and weapons expert, and a terror in a fight. Although his advancing age has caused him to slip slightly in his prowess, he is still a force to be reckoned with when starships and phaser rifles fail. He wields an ancient, 16th-Century Earth [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katana|Katana]], given to him by his late sensei, Hiro Nakagawa, who took over his training when Tyr entered Starfleet. The razor-sharp weapon has sent many of Tyr's foes to their demise. | [[file:katana1.jpg|left|200px|Tyr's katana]] * '''Martial Arts''': While on the homeworld, Tyr studied the martial arts of many species, most notably ancient Earth.

[[file:hetfield.jpg|left|200px|Tyr playing his accoustic guitar]] * '''Music''': Tyr's other great passion (besides his family and crew) is his love of "offlander" music. Again, his primary interest is 19th-21st century earth music. He has been known to play for his crew on special occasions, but mostly will pluck the strings of his guitar in quiet contemplation in his quarters. He is especially fond (to the dismay of his Ba'ku brethren) of rock music of the late 20th and early 21st century Earth. | [[file:hetfield.jpg|left|200px|Tyr playing his accoustic guitar]] * '''Music''': Tyr's other great passion (besides his family and crew) is his love of "offlander" music.
