HISTORY Tyler is the product of a one night stand. He doesn't know who his father is, nor does he care. He was raised by his mother, Sarah, who despite everything, showered him with affection and love. He grew up in the Bronx in a poor neighborhood. He didn't have a lot of material items, but he had plenty of friends. When he was ten, his mother died in a car accident via drunk driver. With no other known living relatives, he was thrown carelessly into the foster care system. For a year, he bounced between homes, before he landed with Donna and Oscar Delgado, a stay at home mom and a mechanic. They officially adopted him several weeks after staying with them. With his new foster parents came his new foster siblings. Alex Kealoha, his outgoing, flamboyant older brother and Heidi Kendrick, his kind-hearted, intelligent younger sister. The two of them had been adopted by the Delgados at a younger age and had grown up together. At first, Tyler was viewed as an intruder. He took to them well enough, even if they didn't take to him right away. But he stood up for them, got into fights with their bullies, and before long, they became tight-knit and inseparable. He never exactly excelled in school. As a matter of fact, he slept through a lot of classes and always struggled to pass. When he wasn't sleeping and slacking, he was keeping an eye on his siblings, especially Alex. Alex was flashy and into fashion, often wearing tight jeans and bright tops. The jackets and boots he wore weren't always made for men, and he rarely left the house without makeup on. He received hell for it at school, often in the form of being shouldered into lockers and tripped in the hallways. The abuse only got worse when he came out as bisexual when he was sixteen. Tyler might've been a year younger than his brother, but he grew up in the Bronx and the system, and he could fight a hell of a lot better than Alex could. So he fought Alex's battles for him, getting into fights with douchebag boys who thought they could get away with beating the hell out of Alex after school. Maybe they could've, under different circumstances. But Tyler had a violent streak, and when he fought, it was ruthless and it was dirty. School wasn't his thing, but he graduated anyway, just to prove he could. Even if it was at the bottom of his class. When he was thirteen, Oscar started teaching him the ropes of mechanics. That was something he took to very quickly. He started working at Oscar's service station when he was fifteen and continues to do so even after graduation. He has no intention on going to college. While he doesn't necessarily want to work at Oscar's the rest of his life, it's the only option he has right now, so that's what he's doing. Meanwhile, he dabbles in dealing (and more often than not, using) pot. PERSONALITY For the most part, Tyler is pretty laid back. The less he cares, the more fun he has, and the easier things are for him. Almost funking out of school? Big deal. Getting suspended for fighting? Whatever. None of it bothers him. He believes in going with the flow and letting things happen as they happen. Because of where he grew up, with friends of different races, and because of his brother's sexual orientation, he has an open mind and is rarely ever judgmental. If someone treats him well first, then generally, he'll treat them the same way. Piss him off once though, and he's likely to hold a hell of a grudge. He doesn't have the best temper, and is known to have a violent streak. He'll easily put someone in the hospital with no remorse if he feels like they deserve it. Again, when he fights, which is often, he fights dirty. He's handy with a butterfly knife and is rarely found without one. He will use it and he doesn't care if the fight is fair or not. It freaks the hell out of Donna, who always yells and lectures him when he comes home with cuts and bruises and black eyes. He doesn't like worrying her, but he isn't likely to stop, either. He doesn't feel like it's as big of a deal as she thinks it is. Women are held in high esteem in his eyes. He grew up with a single mother, both of his childhood friends were girls, and Donna saved him from a life of the foster system. He holds a decent balance between being a teenage boy and flirting with and checking out girls and being respectful towards them. As far as he's concerned, the worst thing someone can do is hit a girl, and he will personally fuck your shit up for doing it. He has a fondness towards children that comes from constantly having them in and out of the house. Donna and Oscar might have adopted three children, and have no plans for adopting more, but their home still acts as a temporary home for kids in the system. When he's home, he'll sit and play with them, read them stories before bed (the same stories his mother read to him when he was a child, as a matter of fact) and help get them ready for school the next day. DESCRIPTION Tyler only comes up to about 5'7", a fact that he's not too pleased about. Because of that, he tends to stand up fairly straight in order to appear as tall as possible. He's pale, with only the slightest hint of a tan from all the time he spends outside. There are tan lines visible where his tank tops and shorts cut off. He's scrawny, hardly any muscle on his body. He's all angles, bony ass and sharp elbows, with visible ribs, hipbones, and a flat stomach. His hair is dirty blond and generally unkept, his eyes a light blue. His jaw and chin are almost always stubbly. He wears almost nothing but tank tops and muscle shirts, usually with stains and unraveling hems and holes. He'll wear cargo shorts up until the dead of winter before switching to cargo pants. In colder weather, he'll wear beanies and hoodies. The only footwear he owns is beat up tennis shoes. Alex often eyes his wardrobe with a mournful sort of disdain. He's littered with scars, mostly from street fights. There’s one across the right side of his rib cage. It’s long, but not very deep, so it’s thin. There’s another shallow one above his right hip bone, this one more stab-wound like in nature. There’s another on the left side of his stomach, still not very deep. On his chest, he has a short one running downwards from his left collarbone. There’s one that runs diagonally across his jaw, only an inch or two long. It’s thinner, so it’s not too noticeable. There are several on his arms and shoulders, a pretty nasty one on the back of his right shoulder. His knuckles are scarred over and he has knicks on his fingers from when he was first learning how to use his butterfly knife. His nose is also a bit crooked from being broken more than once.
