[color=66CDAA][b][u]In Depth Appearance:[/u][/b][/color] 
[indent]Tyler certainly looks his age, somewhat awkward in stature and slightly chub-cheeked. His jawline isn't extremely defined, but his thinness and the little amount of body fat he carries creates enough of a contrast. He has high cheekbones, but not enough to create angles from his face. His nose is a tad flat, with flaring nostrils that would make him look angry if he weren't so often smiling. His chestnut-brown eyes are constantly slitted and feminine if only in the way his eyelashes curl; his eyebrows are heavy and have two states - either furrowed in concentration or slightly raised with amusement. He has full lips, always pink with the amount of biting on them he does. His hair is dark brown and seemingly persistently shaggy, long and curly at the top and trimmed short at the sides. Tyler's complexion isn't the clearest, but he certainly has a nice natural fairness.

He's five foot nine and one-fourty-five, so pretty average on all ends. His weight is oddly distributed, however, so he ends up looking lanky and thin. His muscle doesn't quite get to his arms, instead growing elongated in his legs, but still he doesn't build it easily. He dresses in mostly modern style, with long, oversized shirts, and jeans that seem like they should be skinny but sag off of his body slightly. Really, you could only describe it as lazy, because he always shows up to school in graphic sweatshirts and XXL basketball shorts and scuffed up Converse. He does have one tattoo, comprised of three lines that circle around his wrist. The meaning he's very secretive about - in fact, he only really tells it to very close friends.[/indent]

[color=66CDAA][b][u]Habits | Quirks | Oddities[/u][/b][/color] 
[indent][list][*] Tyler always climbs ontop of something. He's always restless.
[*] Somewhat of a binge eater. Call it carboloading for his next big 5k, but he needs to chill on the Taco Bell.
[*] If there's something to make sound on, he'll do it. Tap the desk obnoxiously and pretend like he's drumming, what have you. It's a bit annoying.
[*] When Tyler is very stressed or nervous, he'll just go completely silent and act a little flustered. Hopefully there's a friend around to take up his speaking slack.
[*] He chews really loud. It's pretty bad.
[*] Somewhat of a perfectionist. If something seems out of place - even if it's not his - he'll move it to someplace he thinks is better.[/list][/indent]

[color=66CDAA][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color] 
[center][u]♦ GREGARIOUS ♦ SARCASTIC ♦ DRIVEN ♦ SELF-DEFEATING ♦[/u][/center]
[indent]Most of the time, Tyler's personality is both passionate and composed. He has an innocent curiosity that when combined with his creativity yields a character that is fascinated with everything, and fascinating in itself. He has a vast (or, rather, random) array of knowledge, which helps him to piece together ideas that would not often be associated with each other. In terms of emotional sensitivity, Tyler is unsurpassed, with a specific talent for empathizing with other people's pain.

He radiates an aura of mystery, and his insightful observations and original ideas enable him to push change through with sheer willpower and force of personality. At times it will seem that he is bent on deconstructing and rebuilding every idea and system he comes into contact with, employing a sense of perfectionism and even morality to this work. Anyone who doesn’t have the talent to keep up with his processes, or worse yet, doesn’t see the point of them, is likely to immediately and permanently lose his respect. 

Tyler has problems with anxiety and self-esteem that is mistaken for narcissism. He often sits in front of the mirrors for hours, not because he is full of himself but because he is deathly afraid of not being the 'perfect' Tyler that people expect him to be. He is too often paralyzed with fear that he won't present a good external appearance despite his obvious blessings and constantly asks his friends how he looks. Worse are his insecurities about his personality, his intelligence, his talents - Tyler is steadily learning the piano, for one, and it takes all of his confidence out of him. His parents pressure him to play basketball and stay healthy, but all of his fears knock out the energy to work on either of these things. He grows lethargic because it is just so difficult to keep up with his own expectations, and only ends up making things worse by not improving on himself.

On one hand, Tyler has the perseverance and drive to do what needs to be done. He is self-sufficient and does not need to depend on other people for the material and physical things in life. On the other hand, he depends on people for emotional support and encouragement. He is not fully self-actualized, and needs the constant support of others and will not be very independent. He craves attention and comfort from other people and he is happiest when he has a small, close knit group of friends or family. Tyler is extremely loyal to those who appreciate and support him. He projects any good feeling onto other people instead of basking in it. Those who want to share deep emotional thoughts and opinions with Tyler might feel that the scales are tipped on one side, for he will rarely reveal his actual feelings.

Aside from incredible shyness and passivity, he is amazingly persevering and will stand up for what he believes in. Tyler is fragile, unpredictable, and temperamental; more than anyone he's known, Tyler needs to be needed. Even when all needs are satisfied, he can be irritable and cranky. His temperament is uneasy and delicate - Tyler has wild mood swings and frequent temper tantrums. Unfortunately, he is easily offended and will sulk and wallow in self pity for a long time when he gets hurt.

Conveniently, he is actually deeply sensitive and easily hurt. He lives in the past, holding old events close to him and dwelling solely in his memories. Constantly sick with nostalgia, Tyler comes off as mysterious, filled with contradictions. Typically he's very helpful to others, yet sometimes can be cranky and indifferent. His driving, forceful personality can be easily hidden beneath a calm and cool exterior. He is very possessive; not just with material possessions, but with people as well. Tyler will always want to stay in touch with old friends and anyone who has ever been close to him, because it is easier to maintain a friendship than attempt to learn to trust a new person.

[color=66CDAA][b][u]History:[/u][/b][/color] 
[indent]Tyler's parents met in a Columbus school that he never got to attend, having been homeschooled up until high school. His mother was a maths teacher, and his father was one of the school's coaches. Naturally, his childhood was full of pressure to do well both academically (from his mother's side) and athletically (from his father's side) in order to receive a scholarship. He was fairly talented at basketball - still is - but has never really enjoyed it. Tyler's a bit of an adrenaline seeker, though, so he keeps up the charade to this day if only for a way to expend energy. Both his schooling and his social life have been somewhat restricted by the strict Christian lifestyle his family has adopted at home. It's not much of a secret by the way Tyler acts, all awkward and inhibited: he's been sheltered for the majority of his life.

Because of how underexposed he is, Tyler doesn't get to practice his actual passion very much: piano. His mother bought him a keyboard when he was younger that he ignored up until freshman year of high school, and he really only gets to practice by mimicking tunes from his radio. Apart from his 'secret talent,' Tyler's life has been rather uneventful. He tries his best to sing and play the ukelele otherwise, when he's not at home (mostly bumming around at a friend's house, usually) just to avoid any questioning from his parents.[/indent][hr][center][h1][color=66CDAA][u]M I S C .[/u][/color][/h1][/center]
