About
Lyle's an unassuming guy most often found dosing off behind the counter of your local 24/7 hole-in-the-wall convenience store or getting high out back. His 'art' on the other hand, you can find on most walls, telephone posts, parked vehicles or roofs in the vicinity. Your friendly neighbourhood anarchist.
Summary
Lyras has 17 siblings. That's kind of how it goes in hemint families, especially, god forbid, lower class ones. You want a kid with your spouse? Have two dozen instead! Lyle just happens to be of the unfortunate latter hatched and not that smart ones that really got the short end of the stick at home. In a household that hellishly full, if you weren't the two or three golden children Lyle's parents had decided to do well with, you only got attention in cases of immediate danger or imminent death. And around your mid teens, you sort of left.
So Lyras cut his education short and got by on a few odd jobs for a while. But you don't really leave a teenager on his own and expect him to make any smart decisions at all, do you? They'll go off and do dumb shit like spend all their money on weed and a scooter, then not chain it down well enough. Eat noodles 24/7, stay out in the cold too late, get arrested for spray painting... You know, the usual.. And that's exactly what Lyle does, like an idiot, until he's down on his luck, unable to afford rent and forced to grovel at the doorstep of the only family memeber he knows has the space - his great aunt. Marunia is a prickly prune of a woman, but she's not cruel, so she concedes.
Come to find out, Lyras has basically entered a geriatric-run military camp. Damn... Although the woman is impossibly tough on him, so long as he stays away from the hard stuff, the illegal clubs and pays his rent in weed, she tolerates him.

Trivia
- Original reference. Follow this when drawing.
- His fashion is mostly denim and ripped/spray-painted/dyed streetwear
- He wears his wings flattened like a backpack or stuffed under some wide jacket
- Lives at his aunt's place and occasionally sleeps in a hole-in-the-wall backroom of the store he works at
- Responsible for 80% of graffiti on any block he frequents
- His only manner of transport is skateboard or whoever's bike is chained the loosest. Don't worry, he'll return it.
- His initials spell LSD and he's very proud of it. People don't know what his middle name is and he uses that to its full advantage.
- Beyond just spray paint, Lyle can make art out of a lot of unconventional materials and rarely uses that talent for good. The giant middle finger made out of snow, the chair tower at the garbage dump and his politically charged graffiti paintings are all his version of mysterious crop circles, all tagged under the anonymous vigilante alias... Ass Sid. He just enjoys being a cryptid.
- Claims to have an outdoors pet frog and insists he can distinguish her from other frogs. He can't. Most neighbouring amphibians are currently named Angela. Don't ask questions.

They're thick as thieves and share a stupidity wavelength, what more could a pothead ask for in a friend? They've pulled their fair share of stunts, some stupid, some iconic, all viable for blackmail or prison charges. They share a lot - blunts, drinks, food, braincells and beds. Friends with benefits doesn't even begin to cover it. Someone please tell them they're dating.
She's a strict old hag in the avarris equivalent of her 80s, with iron household rules and a hatred for kids, but she took Lyras in anyway. They tolerate each other. She reared his rebellious ass and kept him away from the streets, hard drugs and mafias for as long as she has and if a tight fist on his proverbial collar was what it took, he doesn't begrudge her the method.
