History
Tyler Adam Parker was born in Belleville New Jersey, and grew up there with his mom, dad and older brother Jamie. When Tyler was three his parents had another son, Benjamin. Tyler's childhood went by without much incident. In school he found his place as the class clown, always goofing around and making the other kids laugh. Unfortunately his teachers never found him too funny, and he spent a lot of time at the Principals office. Thanks to all his goofing around at school Tyler ended up getting pretty bad grades. At the age of ten he was diagnosed with ADD, and severe dyslexia, which although it was bad, it made things better. Tyler was given extra attention at school to help him improve, and although it did help him, it made him feel stupid. Why couldn't he just be taught the same as the other kids? Tyler felt picked on in that respect.
To help him get the education that his parents felt he needed Tyler was sent to boarding school in New York, not too far away from his home. During his Freshman year Tyler had his 'rebellious' phase, which is when he got his tattoos. In Sophomore year the rebellious phased continued until Tyler found out he was going to be a father ... A girl he had slept with had become pregnant, and was keeping the baby. Needless to say, Tyler's parents were furious when they found out, but nowhere near as furious as the girls parents were.
Violet Brielle was born on the 3rd of March 2012, and the moment Tyler held his little girl for the first time he knew that he had to be there for her, no matter what. Though he'd had his doubts about being a father at such a young age, just holding Violet made him feel sure that he could do it, for her. It was pretty lucky that Tyler felt this way because when Violet was just three months old her mother decided to up and leave, leaving Tyler with soul custody of their child.
So at the age of sixteen Tyler was a single father in High School, working a part-time job, and living in an apartment that his parents were renting for him.... And although from the outside things might seem bad, Tyler couldn't have been happier.
Personality
Sensitive. Immature. Lazy. Sweet. Funny. Absent-Minded.
{ More to come, but maybe not. }
Appearance
Tyler stands at 5"8, which he thinks is a good height for a guy, though both of his brothers tower over him, even though Benji is thee years younger. Tyler has always been pretty scrawny, more so in his legs than anywhere else, he's got stick thin legs. As for the rest on him, well, his arms are quite toned, and his stomach is flat, but he doesn't have a six pack, he's just thin.
The first thing people tend to notice about Tyler is his hair, because there's so much of it. Though it's not the longest of hairstyles, it tends to stick up at odd angles, and can get very wavy and wild. Tyler has never dyed his hair, and the dark brown/black that you see is all natural. A lot of the time Tyler will jam a hat on to his head to avoid having to deal with his unruly locks. Apart from the hair Tyler is pretty much all blue eyes and shiny teeth. The boy has some big, big eyes, a lot of the time they have dark circles beneath them because he doesn't get much sleep. Tyler hates his smile, but some people would argue it's the best thing about him, his teeth are near perfect.
Tyler's tattoos aren't too special to him, he wishes that they were. On his arm he has a swirly sort of pattern, and near the top of his arm there's a portrait of God ... Or maybe it's Santa? Tyler isn't too sure, he hates to admit it, but he was crazy drunk at the time, despite being only fifteen or so. Across his chest he had the words 'Before you I serve nothing', which sounded profound at the time he got it done. Tyler really wants to get a tattoo for Violet, but he's not sure what he should have done yet.
Other
- Doesn't smoke cigarettes, never has, never will.
- Will smoke weed, very rarely, and only when Violet is at her grandma's.
