Till // (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

Till is a small and thinly-built man with fair skin, teal eyes, and shaggy grey hair. On the side of his neck is his name marked in silverish-grey, usually covered in a green patch for most of the time. He is frequently portrayed wearing various items of tech gear, such as a collar that fastens around his mouth & and an earpiece that sits in the base of his left ear. He sports an oversized white tee with black spray-painted letters in various styles and ankle-length red trousers. Till's name is shown marked on the side of his neck, partially covered by the silver choker around his neck. Till noticeably looks more tired, as he is depicted with dark patches under his eyes, a downcast look in the eyes, and less angular shapes in his design. Unlike most of the pet humans in ANAKT GARDEN, Till suffers lots of abuse from his guardian. It is implied that his rebellious nature made him a target for especially harsh punishment, as evidenced by the numerous bruises across his face in his introductory video. Till fell for Mizi because of her looks and beautiful smile, and developed deeper feelings the more he got to know her.It is because of this adoration that Till dedicated himself to protecting her.Although he usually never approaches her directly, he is seen observing her from afar. Till's love for Mizi served as his motivation and coping mechanism for the abuse and hardship he endured, as he can be seen clutching the red flowers Mizi adores when receiving punishments. Round 3 shows some of Till's backstory through the lens of Ivan. Till had chased after a flower crown made of Anakt artificial flowers, similar to ones that Mizi has made for Sua, and it drifted into a dark passageway, a restricted area that appeared to be an alien's residence. It's unknown what happened prior to Ivan's appearance, but Till is crumpled on the ground next to a stunned Mizi as the two are in the presence of ANAKT GARDEN's wagyein guard. However, instead of backing down in the face of danger, Till steadily stood back on his feet. This created a core memory for Ivan as it became the moment he became enamored with Till. During a time where Till is locked up in solitary confinement, likely because of his rebelling that caused the punishment, Ivan takes him out of his restraints and leads him outside to escape ANAKT GARDEN. As meteors fall, Till is amazed by the sight he had never seen before. But before they could go any further, Till's hand slips from Ivan's. He makes the decision to return back to ANAKT GARDEN realizing he could not leave Mizi behind. Sua and Till have a relationship defined by mutual animosity and a lack of understanding. Sua's affection for Till is extremely low, at only 1% on her intimacy chart, and she considers him "annoying" because of his proximity to Mizi. She sees him as a threat to her relationship with Mizi, whom she is intensely codependent with. This dislike is even shown in official comics, such as in "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TILL," she gives him a bug as a birthday gift. Sua is largely indifferent to everyone except Mizi, so her strong negative feelings for Till are a direct result of his feelings for Mizi. Till, for his part, struggles to understand Sua. He feels uncomfortable around her and says he can't tell what she is thinking. He seems to be unaware of the romantic nature of Sua and Mizi's relationship, despite it being known to others like Ivan. This is highlighted by the fact that Till sings a love song confessing his feelings for Mizi in Round 2, right after Sua's death, which some fans see as insensitive given Mizi's grief. This obliviousness is a key aspect of his character, as he is so focused on his own feelings for Mizi that he fails to recognize the depth of her relationship with Sua. Their dynamic is a clear example of how love and rivalry intertwine in the story. Till's love for Mizi and Sua's love for Mizi put them at odds, making them see each other as competitors for Mizi's attention. Till and Ivan's relationship is characterized by a "love-hate" dynamic, rooted in a past that has left them both with deep-seated issues. Till's affection for Ivan is at 70%, while Ivan's affection for Till is a high 100%, indicating a significant disparity in their feelings. Till sees Ivan as a "coward" for not standing up to his abuser, a perception that is central to their conflict. Till, who is more direct and aggressive, often feels that Ivan's passivity is a sign of weakness. This perspective is a source of tension between them and likely stems from Till's own traumatic experiences and his inability to express his emotions in a healthy way. Ivan's feelings for Till are much stronger and more complicated. He is in love with Till, a feeling that is rooted in his own self-loathing. He sees Till as a "perfect" person and a hero, a perception that mirrors Mizi's idealization of him and Sua. This one-sided love is unhealthy for Ivan and is a source of his emotional turmoil. He is jealous of Till's relationship with Mizi, but his feelings are more complex than simple jealousy. He feels that Till is "betraying" him by spending time with Mizi, and he struggles with the idea that Till might not be as perfect as he believes. Ivan's love for Till is also a form of self-punishment, as he feels he is unworthy of Till's love. Despite their issues, they share a history together and have a bond that is hard to break. They both experienced trauma and abuse, which has shaped their personalities and their relationship. Their dynamic is a powerful example of how past experiences can influence a person's emotions and how love can be twisted by self-loathing and resentment. Their story is a tragic one, as their love for each other is so deeply intertwined with their trauma that it is difficult for them to have a healthy relationship. Till and Urak's relationship is characterized by abuse and a surprising level of affection from Urak. Urak is Till's Segyein guardian and is known for berating and publicly abusing Till, making their dynamic highly toxic. Despite this cruel treatment, Urak's affection for Till is recorded at 47%, which is a remarkably high number compared to other Segyein guardians' feelings for their human "pets." This is a significant piece of trivia, as it shows that Urak's behavior is not a reflection of a complete lack of feeling. The abuse from Urak is a key factor in shaping Till's personality. It is the root of his trauma and is likely the reason for his aggressive nature and his "hate-love" dynamic with Ivan. Till's traumatic experiences with Urak have made it difficult for him to form healthy relationships and to trust others. The abuse is a central part of Till's backstory and is a driving force behind his actions and his emotional struggles. This complex relationship highlights the themes of abuse and trauma within the Alien Stage universe. Urak's high affection level for Till, despite his abusive actions, suggests a twisted and unhealthy form of love that is a central part of the Segyein's relationship with their human "pets." It is a tragic example of how a person's life can be deeply affected by their past, and how even in the most painful of relationships, there can be a strange and unsettling form of attachment. Till and Io have a mother-son relationship, although it's not a direct, present-day interaction in the main music videos. Io is Till's biological mother, and her existence is primarily confined to the official comics. Till has no memory of her, so their relationship is a source of viewer insight rather than a personal bond he experiences directly. In the comics, Io is shown to have been a mother who never knew what became of her son, Till, after he was taken. There is speculation among fans that she might still be alive in a resistance group. If she were to be reunited with Till, it is theorized that it could have a significant impact on his personality, making him "softer" and more open, which in turn could affect his other relationships, such as with Ivan. However, the emotional impact of her loss on Till, who doesn't remember her, is largely experienced by the audience. The tragic nature of their relationship lies in the fact that they were separated, and Io's actions and existence serve to add depth to Till's backstory and characterization, even though they are not together in the main narrative. Her purpose is to provide context for Till's trauma and aggressive nature, which stems from the abuse he experienced after being taken from his mother. Mizi is a very important person in Till's life, and Till has had a romantic attraction to her ever since he was in ANAKT GARDEN. He liked her because of her appearance and personality, and wanted to protect her at all costs. His crush for her was also a coping mechanism, as idolizing Mizi brought him respite against the harsh conditions of ANAKT. Because of his crush, his interactions with Mizi were mostly awkward and left Till flustered. His likes consist of Mizi, composing, and doodling. Till's personal talent includes floral art. He hates every alien, including Guardian Urak. Till is an INFP in MBTI: by the definition of 16personalities, not to be confused with the original MBTI theory. Till’s blood type is A+.
