Personality-
People take one look at Tyler and assume the worse. In almost all cases he knows what people are thinking. Despite how he may look, Tyler is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He’s polite; he’s approachable, helpful and caring toward others. Sure, he has a temper at times but doesn’t everyone? Tyler is a no nonsense kind of guy. He will stick his neck on the line for others, but if you fuck him over..he won’t stand for it.
Tyler isn’t afraid to speak his mind. If you want his opinion he’ll give it to you. If you don’t want his opinion, he won’t go out of his way to tell you his thoughts on a matter that more or less doesn’t concern him anyway. Tyler isn’t the type of person who would leave someone to struggle. It’s just not in him. He was raised to treat others how he’d wished to be treated himself and he sticks by that.
If you mess him around, he will do it right back to you. Tyler isn’t about to waste his time on someone isn’t firstly deserving of it and secondly appreciative. Manners go a long way. Tyler can be confrontational sometimes but only if he feels it necessary. For instance, you won’t see him arguing with a guy who is much smaller then he simply for the reason that he can. But, you will see him squaring off against the guy who does. Tyler doesn’t think there’s any point in unnecessary confrontation. He also doesn’t stand by bullying.
If you make a friend out of Tyler; he’s extremely loyal and will have your back in almost all cases.

History-
As it goes Tyler was not dragged up in a broken home. Tyler’s up bringing was pretty decent as it were, which sometimes surprises people. Tyler was born in Brooklyn and raised by both, a mother and a father. His father was a businessman who owned a few clubs around the states, Vegas being his main spot for business and his mother was an aspiring singer.
His home life was stable, both his parents worked and their relationship was half decent compared to most on their street. Everyone fought, that’s what life was about. You didn’t get along all the time but one thing could be said about his father, he never raised a hand to Tyler’s mother..another rarity on their street.
At school Tyler was quite the pupil, he actually liked to get his head down and buried underneath a pile of books. He applied himself fully in every subject he studied because he wanted to do well and was raised to believe that you got nowhere in like without trying. Sure, in his teen years he had a small rocky patch; he got into trouble with the law for some petty crimes and attempted robberies but nothing major in comparison to others he knew.
Tyler went to college to study law and engineering and graduated with some of the higher grades in his class. Though, he didn’t turn to either after he left. He followed in his father’s footsteps and became a business man. Up until having the funding to support his own club, he worked for his father. He was bartender, a cleaner..he did everything to save up money and at the age of 25, opened his first club.
The age of 25 was a busy time for Tyler, because he married his childhood sweetheart and soon she fell pregnant with his daughter. When Danielle came along, Tyler finally felt as if his life was no suddenly complete. His baby girl was the apple of his eye, his complete pride and joy. Tyler and his family moved to Manhattan, where Tyler opened up another bar. Things were going good for the man.
But with every up there is a down and boy was there a big downside. Tyler woke up one morning and everything had been turned upside down. From what it seemed, his house had been broken into in the middle of the night. There bedroom was trashed and his wife was nowhere to be seen. Tyler thought that maybe his wife and daughter had been taken away but..the realisation of what had really occurred was far worse. There house had been broken into but not by thief’s. His daughter and wife were still there but they were not how he remembered them.
Anything else?- Nope
Sample RP-
Right now his world couldn’t be more perfect. His business was doing well, he was happily married to a goddess, as far as he was concerned and he was a father to the most beautiful and precious little angel to have ever been placed upon the earth. If this wasn’t perfection, he really wasn’t sure what was. The night had been busy, and all he wanted to do was to go home and see his family. He didn’t mind working though, he liked putting in the hours because it paid for his family and that’s all that mattered to him.
Tyler owned the bar and could more or less leave whenever he wanted, but he didn’t believe in putting all the work onto other people’s shoulders. He wasn’t like that, he had worked his ass off for this place and there was no way he was going to stop because he’d accomplished his goal. This was his responsibility. When 2am came, he couldn’t wait to get out. He sent all the other staff home early because they only had a few people left inside and he didn’t need the extra hands.
When it was time to close, he cleared away everything and tidied up, giving whoever was to start the next shift and easier job. He locked up and went home. At the time he got home, Angela and Danielle were already a sleep. He hated coming in late and missing spending time with them but thankfully tomorrow was his day off and he had all the time in the world. He tucked Danielle in and gave her a kiss on the forehead, before heading to his own room to get ready for bed.
Angela was already asleep, but still managed to hug him as he nestled down for the night. It had seemed like he’d only just closed his eyes, when his alarm went off. Tyler grumbled extending his arm outward. His hand moved around in search for the clock, to sound the alarm. He didn’t lift his head; like always, because he knew where to find it. But, the clock wasn’t there. It kept going off and he groaned. Lifting his head from the pillow he eyed the nightstand which was now bare.
That woke him up. He sat up and looked around the room. What the fuck?..was his initial thought. Everything was smashed to pieces, the whole room was trashed. He dropped his eyes to the bed, Angela was gone. With wide eyes, Tyler leapt out of the bed and ran down the hallway shouting “Angie?..Dan?..” his first thought was that someone had broken into their home. Someone had taken his family. He was panicked and trying to think now who it could be.
Stopping at Danielle’s door he pushed it wide open, she was gone too. Stumbling out of the door he bought his hands to his head, he was absolutely distraught. Backing against the wall he took deep breaths. Tyler’s ears piqued up a sound, it was coming from the opposite end of the hallway. Dropping his hands to his sides he slowly turned his head to face left. Tyler slowly walked down the hallway, cautious in his movements because he wasn’t sure who he’d be met with.
The noise was alike nothing he’d ever heard before. It was a strange mix of sounds, like gargling and snarling. Tyler slowly stepped around the corner to the stairs and found himself frozen in shock. His body stiffened up as his eyes narrowed widely. His mouth fell agape; he looked like he’d seen a ghost. It was Angie; she was laying on the ground, her lifeless eyes looking right at him. But worse still, was what was going on over her. There was Danielle, his little angel. She had her back to him, but he could see the blood all over her night gown.
He wasn’t sure what had happened, or what was going on but from what it looked like. It seemed that she had killed her mother and was now..taking chunks out of her. Tyler heaved. Clasping his hand over his mouth, he stumbled backward. Danielle’s head turned quickly toward him, her eyes piercing him. She looked like his little girl, but she wasn’t. There was nothing inside of her; she was dead behind the eyes. He felt his lip quiver. Danielle jumped up to her feet and snarled. She spun and charged toward him.
Tyler retreated; he turned and ran as fast as he could back toward the bedroom. Grabbing the door he slammed it just as she caught up. He heard the thud as she hit the door followed by a loud rage fuelled scream and then her fists began to pound against the door. Tyler felt his legs turn to jelly; his whole body was shaking like crazy. He locked the door and backed up. His eyes watched the door carefully, if she got inside..what was he to do? What the fuck was going on? Tyler tripped over the bed base and hit the floor with a thud.
Placing his hands on the ground he was about to get to his feet when he clocked his car keys under the bed. Without hesitation he grabbed the keys and lifted himself off the ground. Danielle was still going insane; she was kicking and banging at the door trying to get inside. He felt his heart racing and breaking at the same time. His life had been perfect and in an instant, his world had been flipped, turned upside down.
Tyler watched the door as he gripped the keys. With his free hand he scooped his jeans up off the floor and began to pull them on, followed by his t-shirt. The banging got louder and more profuse now, she was going to get in..he knew it. He grabbed his boots and hit jacket off the side and rushed toward the en-suite bathroom. Getting inside he locked the door and leant against it. He pulled his boots on and his jacket. He jumped startled as the banging began on the bathroom door. She’d gotten into the bedroom and he’d gotten out in the nick of time.
He rushed to the window of the bathroom and pulled it open. Tyler climbed onto the window sill and looked out. If he jumped out, he’d land on the garage roof and would be able to get away in no time. He readied himself; he took one last look at the bathroom door and jumped out the window. A mighty thud sounded as he landed on the garage roof, his feet took the weight but he stumbled over falling onto his side.
Taking a deep breath he began to get to his feet. His eyes narrowed and he stopped in motion as a sight took him. The whole street was in chaos. Everyone was running, cars were ploughing into each other, into fences..into pedestrians. Tyler zoned out momentarily. Shaking himself out of his gaze he jumped off the roof and opened the garage door. Rushing inside he got inside the car and started it up and waited no time in getting the fuck out of there. He didn’t dare look back, just in fear of what he may see.
He had no idea of what was going on right now. All he did know was this; His wife and daughter were gone and they weren’t coming back.
