Physical Description and Distinguishing features: He is 5' 9", 130 lbs, dark brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, handsome features, charming smile when he uses it.

Wardrobe : Though he has (well, had) plenty of good clothes, he's happiest in T-shirts, sweatshirts, and jeans or shorts.

Personality: Tyler was well brought up by loving but strict parents so he is pleasant and polite, with a well-developed sense of right and wrong. He is intelligent, though not a topnotch student because he just didn't apply himself as hard as he could. He is very athletic with a love of sports and beach activities. Though he has a good amount of common sense, he also has that natural youthful courage that does not always calculate risk. In the last few years he has developed an interest in girls.

Fears: Airplanes (bad flight experience during childhood), not being accepted, being alone.

Weakness: Since he is still young with a thin lanky build, he doesnt have a lot of bulk strength. Lacks experience in so many things adults would know more about, of course.

Strengths: Tyler might still be skinny but he is very quick, agile, and athletic. With his young lungs, he has good endurance and a surprisingly high tolerance for pain due to a very active lifestyle.

Likes/Dislikes/Hobbies: Loves sports - baseball, soccer, basketball. And when he goes to the beach, he can swim like a fish and surfs well too.

Likes CocaCola, pizza, hates "boring food" and surprisingly TV, he'd rather be active - be it sports or on the computer.

Bad Habits: Mutters to himself when things are going bad or he is unhappy.

Married/Single/Divorced/Widow/Involved/Engaged: Single but interested in girls.

Occupation: Student.

Weapon Information: (Please keep the weapons amount to a reasonable level): A household knife, biggest one he could find. His father's semiautomatic pistol.

History : Born to United States citizen parents, both his folks moved to Carson for their careers. His father was a scientist and his mother a computer programming specialist. Their combined salaries meant a very nice home in a good suburb with beachfront view, though also due to work pressures, they rented a highrise apartment too in the middle of the metropolis.

Tyler has an older sister, Jeannette age 19, who goes to University on Carson too.

Suddenly though, his insulated orderly loving world came to a complete disastrous collapse. Just a few days ago, his parents had phoned him telling him they were coming home early due to all the increased violence. Things just weren't safe anymore at the workplaces. He never heard from them again. A call from a hospital coldly informed him that they had died in a riot and were officially pronounced dead at the facility - if he wanted their bodies for a proper funeral he must pick them up within 24 hours or they would be cremated. There were just so many people dying, it was the only thing they could do with all the bodies.

He also tried reaching Jeannette but nothing. She did not answer her cell phone and he heard on the local news that her university was shut down for the rest of the school year. Education could no longer function in the hell that was Carson.

So there he was...alone, on his own to try and survive as long and as best as he could.

After holing up in the house for a few days and seeing the food dwindle he knew he had to venture out. Look for other decent folks like himself and try and link up with them to survive.
