Overall Personality: Tyler grew up with the same values as his father had, and it has really stuck with him. This young man is the kind of kid any girl would have no problem taking home to dad. He is gentle, respectful, and gets along with most adults. He has a smile that can charm anyone, and has a way of diffusing situations, especially when it comes to squabbles between kids and parents. He is really in tune to how people feel, and is a great listener.
Of course, nobody is without flaws, and Tyler definitely has his share of them. Tyler tends to think of things being cut and dry. And if he has an opinion on something, he automatically thinks that he is right, and there is no convincing him otherwise. He also has a hard time admitting when he is wrong about something. And although he does get along with most people, Tyler has a hard time taking jokes that are made at his expense.

Background: Tyler was a mistake-turned cover up with young couple Samantha and Max. Having two entirely different sets of morals, Max believed in something Samantha didn’t—chastity until marriage. And one night, when Sam got tired of waiting, she spiked a drink that her boyfriend had at a party, got him drunk, and then he was more than willing to jump into bed with her. What Sam forgot to plan, was the use of a condom and since Max never intended to do this, neither one had a condom on hand. Less than a month later, Sam had to explain to Max that she was pregnant and why. Of course, Max forgave her and offered a solution. They would get married in a hurry, and when the baby was born claim that he was born early. After all, he couldn’t let his family know that she was having a baby out of wedlock.
So, promising to keep the real story behind the pregnancy a secret, the two rushed off to Paris, where they eloped, to the disappointment of Max’s family. To make it up to them, Max agreed to attend school where his father had. He had wanted to be a pastor anyways, the only question was where to go. And a month later, they made the delayed announcement that they were having a baby. This came as a shock, but the family readily came to their aide and when Tyler came into the world, he came surrounded by loved ones.
Of course, Tyler would not be an only child. As the years went by, he quickly became the oldest of six. Being the firstborn, young Tyler would want to include his siblings in everything as a child. If he was getting ice cream or a toy, there had to be enough for his siblings to go around. Everything that he ever got, he shared with his brother and sisters. And he hated to see any of them in trouble. If there was a time when one of his siblings had to miss out on a treat because they were in trouble, Tyler would sneak his to them and do without.
It was because of this, though, that Tyler grew up without a whole lot of friends. Anytime he was invited to go somewhere, he would insist that all five of his siblings go with him. After long, he stopped being invited to go anywhere, unless it was a big party. And when each of his siblings got their own sets of friends as they got older, it left Tyler feeling very alone. He went to his parents with this problem, and his father provided a solution—get involved in the church and community more. So, he did just that. He signed up for all the community service activities he could, and got involved in the church events more, including summer camping trips. That was how he got to be friends with Augusta Stone.
The two had partnered up for the potato sack race. And Tyler learned just how much fun it could be, having a friend all to himself. That summer, the summer he turned fifteen, he did everything with her, including signing up to be a cheerleader. Of course, that meant going to her place and ultimately, meeting her family. She had a twin sister, and every time he saw her, she was with two other girls, Willow and Lindsay. And the three were probably just about the most stuck up trio one could find. Still, Tyler didn’t care about the way she was talking to him. He saw something in Alexis, something that made him want to be around her more, and not like he was with Augusta. He wanted something more than that. But, he knew that being popular like she was, he didn’t have a chance in the world. So, he decided to employ the help of his best friend.
He knew the best chance would be at the homecoming bonfire, after the big homecoming game. The two were sitting at the fire, and she looked at him and asked him if he thought that he could ever like someone as more than a friend. It was an odd way to bring up the subject, he thought but he went with it and told her that actually, he did. He was in love with her sister. She seemed surprised and annoyed at first, and she even asked why, reminding him that her sister hadn’t been all that nice to him. Tyler explained that he saw something in her. He then asked her for help. And, to his relief, she agreed.
She told him the best way to do it was to allow her to do a makeover. Tyler was worried, but he agreed. The way she dressed him was the way his younger brother dressed, and it wasn’t necessarily bad. It just wasn’t him. But she reminded him that it only had to be long enough to get her sister’s attention. So, he decided that he might as well make sure he got it the first time.
He walked in Degrassi that first cool, crisp day of November. As Augusta had promised, everyone was looking at him. But Tyler didn’t care about everybody. He only cared about the girl who was standing at Lindsay Chase’s locker. Tyler swallowed his fear, marched up to her, and without even acknowledging the other two (out of fear he wouldn’t go through with it,) he told her that this ridiculous look was all for her, and he pulled her close and kissed her. It was the bravest thing he could have ever done. And he knew that Lindsay would determine if it was stupid or not. But, she didn’t tell the girl not to go out with him. She just warned him to be careful, because any wrong move would be both his and Alexis’s last.
But Tyler was careful. He knew how much being popular meant to Alexis, so he was ever so careful so she wouldn’t have to worry. He didn’t change anything about himself, though. He went back to wearing what he was comfortable wearing, and he was still fully involved in his church activities. There was just one thing added to his life—the beauty that is Alexis Stone.
Unfortunately, though, Tyler’s choices weren’t always the best ones. As he started eleventh grade, he began to make more and more bad choices, causing his dad to wonder if Alexis was such a good influence on him. And when, after being grounded, Tyler snuck out to take Alexis on a date, Max came to the conclusion that he didn’t want her around. When Tyler was told this, though, he went ballistic. He had been talking to someone on the internet, someone who had offered him the use of a cabin. So, he, Alexis, and Melissa and Tristan went for the weekend—though, Tyler never planned on going home. And that was when the four kids found themselves in danger.
When the kids got there, they were picked up by the person Tyler had been talking to online—but were never released. Instead, they were held at knifepoint and gun point and were forced to call their parents to demand a ransom. Tyler held Alexis close; he had never been so terrified in his entire life. Instead of heeding ransom demands, though, their parents went to New York, going by the address texted to them by one of the kids. When they got there, all hell broke loose. Alexis’s life was put in danger and, in a gallant effort to save her, he got in the way, taking the blow and being stabbed.
The next six months went by very quickly for Tyler. They have been spent drifting in and out of consciousness at the hospital. He has witnessed different things, and has no recollection of his life. Honestly, he thinks his name is Brent, because some of the times that he has woken up, he saw a blond addressing a Brent, unaware that the blond was an actress on a soap opera. He has no idea who his friends and family are. All that he knows is that, having been conscious for a few days now, he was told that he was really lucky, and that he has been on life support all this time.
