[[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.

'''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. | |||
'''Nature / Rock Climbing''': One love Tyr does share with his Ba'ku kin is the love of animals and all things natural. He is at home in a natural environment, out under the sky in the sunshine. His keen eyesight and instincts are sharpest in this environment as well. He has been known to climb a mountain "because it's there", as he loves to quote Kirk, when on shore leave. | '''Nature / Rock Climbing''': One love Tyr does share with his Ba'ku kin is the love of animals and all things natural.
