Tryce

Tryce is the founder of the Bomb Rush Crew. Having been in police custody at the start of the game, he manages to break out Faux and the two of them try to escape together. This leads to Tryce and the rest of BRC becoming heavily involved in the game's story.
== Role in the Story ==
Tryce first appears in the game at the police bureau. While an incident is happening with the police distracted, Tryce is wandering the hall outside of Faux’s cell, seemingly having escaped from his own cell earlier. Faux calls out to him asking for help to escape, though Tryce questions how someone like Faux got locked up in the first place, saying Faux doesn’t “look” like a criminal type of person to him.
Still, Tryce helps him by picking the lock to Faux’s cell. When they meet up again in the lobby of the bureau, Tryce points out the destruction inside the building here. He says someone must be looking out for them in a way, since the chaos is distracting the cops. He figures they can make an escape while this is all happening, and that at least one of them should be able to get out of there.
At this point he finally introduces himself as Tryce, while Faux introduces himself by name. Tryce is shocked to learn who Faux is, though the reason why won’t be explicitly known until later. At any rate, Tryce helps Faux get through the rest of the bureau so they can find a way out together. He even gives Faux a spare boostpack and some skates to get around.
Towards the end of the area, there’s a locked door leading to the roof of the bureau. While Tryce tries to get it open, Rietveld appears to try and arrest them both. Once Faux manages to fight her off, Tryce finishes with the door. When Faux mentions they might as well be crewmates with how much they’ve helped each other, Tryce responds that his crew could go All City if that were the case. Faux actually offers to help him do just that, as long as they can both get out of there alive. Tryce accepts, and they both head to the rooftop.
Along the way, they pass by DJ Cyber, who’s been fight off other police officers, though Tryce doesn’t seem to notice. They both jump off the roof to try and escape, but the DJ manages to decapitate Faux by throwing a deadly vinyl record at him. Tryce actually manages to turn towards Faux at the moment of decapitation while they’re still midair. Looking back, he sees it was DJ Cyber who threw the record. Tryce and what’s left of Faux end up plummeting into the canal below.
Nevertheless, Tryce actually manages to save Faux’s body at least, getting it set up with a cyberhead. Once the cyberhead (soon to be named Red) wakes up, Tryce tells him they’re at their brand new hideout. He also introduces Red to the rest of the Bomb Rush Crew, which at this point only consists of Tryce and Bel.
Tryce proceeds to explain the current circumstances: Faux died, but thanks to a friend of Tryce’s he was able to get him a cyberhead. Tryce also mentions that it will have to do until they can get Faux’s head back. After Bel gives the cyberhead the name Red, Tryce gives him a skateboard to start off. The two of them then help Red get reacclimated to some basic writer skills, with Bel helping him on combos and moving around, and Tryce getting him to spray a few graffiti spots around the hideout.
After seeing Red’s skills, Tryce allows Red to join the crew as a proper member. Tryce says that he started the crew with the goal to go All City. When Red asks what they need him for, Tryce explains that Red’s “previous head”, Faux, was such an amazing writer that he was one of the Big 3 of New Amsterdam. Faux had promised to join the crew if Tryce could help him, and Tryce intends to keep his side of the deal by getting Faux’s head reunited with his body. Thus, he wants Red to help with getting his, or rather Faux’s, head back.
Bel questions if his head is even still alive, and Tryce is convinced that’s the case. He says he saw DJ Cyber kill Faux that night. The DJ is, according to Tryce, “obsessed with the inner workings of the brain”, and even has a special machine to look into people’s minds. Thus he assumes that the DJ now has Faux's head in his possession. That being said, Tryce also acknowledges that DJ Cyber is the biggest DJ in the city, and even admits he’s still looking forward to the DJ’s newest mixtape.
Once Red confirms that he wants to get “his” head back, Tryce lays out a plan: BRC will try and talk with the Franks, who were recently beaten in a crew battle by DJ Cyber and his own crew, FUTURISM. Tryce thinks they can get info on where to find the DJ by taking advantage of the Franks’ grudge against him. He thus leads BRC to Versum Hill to try and speak with the Franks.
When they get to Versum Hill, Tryce instructs the crew to split up and try to look for their hideout. At this point in the game, Tryce can be found on the field, and will give tips and comments about the current situation when spoken to. He will also occasionally send text messages with further info at certain points of the game.
After reaching the basketball court at the top of the hill, BRC finally get to meet with the leader of the Franks, the Flesh Prince. Tryce explains that the Flesh Prince is the one who both built the Franks themselves, and specifically the one who helped give Red his cyberhead. Tryce also mentions that the Prince said to come back for a checkup, and admits that there haven’t been any issues so far. However, when Tryce asks the Prince if he knows where to find the DJ, he refuses to say anything.
Later on, when Red is feeling discouraged about his own roots, Bel and Tryce reassure him that they can still take on the Franks. Tryce in particular states that BRC has the REP, and the Code of the Street says they can still challenge the Franks to a crew battle for info on the DJ’s whereabouts. Thus, they do so, and manage to win.
After the battle, Tryce tries to collect the promised info, but the Prince still refuses to say anything, going as far as not accepting the results of the crew battle. This causes DJ Cyber to appear on the scene in his vehicle, alongside Vinyl and the rest of FUTURISM. He declares that Versum Hill is now forfeit to BRC as their new turf, since the Franks refusing the accept their loss counts as breaking the Code of the Street.
Tryce thanks the DJ for his help, but then proceeds to accuse the DJ of breaking the Code of the Street himself. However, Tryce says he and the rest of BRC are willing to turn a blind eye, as long as the DJ can return Red’s head.
He tries to reassure his crew that he’s got this, but unfortunately this leads to him and Bel being restrained by the FUTURISM members, and Red himself being forced into the dream machine attached to DJ Cyber’s vehicle. Once Red goes through the resulting dream stage and wakes back up in the real world, the DJ challenges them to go All City before him and his crew. If they can manage that, then they can force DJ Cyber to return Red’s head.
Back at the hideout, Tryce questions if the DJ will actually keep his word. He has doubts since the DJ was the one who chopped off Faux’s head in the first place. When Red asks what Tryce knows about Faux in the first place, Tryce explains a bit more about Faux and the rest of the Big 3. Consisting of Faux, Felix, and DJ Cyber, they were legendary writers who ruled over the city’s graffiti scene. Felix in particular managed to go All City by himself, but was soon killed shortly after that.
Even so, Felix’s legacy inspired Tryce to start BRC and go for All City himself. Tryce also mentions how he thinks both Faux and the DJ know something about Felix’s death. Once Felix was killed, DJ Cyber went “full-on overdrive” with monitoring other writers and punishing those that were caught breaking the Code of the Street. Combined with how the DJ started wearing Felix’s old mask around the same time, Tryce thinks DJ Cyber is acting very suspiciously.
Since BRC was able to take Versum Hill, Tryce thinks they have a good shot at All City. When Red tries to leave on his own to keep going All City, Tryce stops him. He makes it clear that they’re a crew, and they’re going to do this together to help Red get his head back. With that settled, they head towards Millennium Square to start going after Eclipse for their own turf, Brink Terminal.
Once they reach the terminal itself, they find Solace in a nearby dumpster, having seemingly been trapped there by Eclipse. Tryce introduces himself and the rest of the crew to Solace, also mentioning how they need to challenge Eclipse as part of their plan to get Red’s head back. Solace runs off to get Eclipse for them, but Tryce suggested they get started with bombing the terminal with graffiti, doubting that Solace will be back anytime soon.
While trying to gain REP in the terminal and complete Eclipse’s challenges, Escher attacks BRC. Tryce tries to get his crew out of there, but Red ends up fighting Escher himself. The sniper manages to get away, but Tryce tells Red not to worry about him and get back to trying to challenge Eclipse.
They do manage to win against Eclipse in a crew battle, but Red proceeds to blackout after their victory. Tryce and Bel take him back to the hideout to recover. While Red is concerned about what happened, Tryce tries to reassure him, saying he doesn’t blame Red for “taking a nap on the spot”. When Bel compliments Red on his graffiti skills, Tryce comments that it’s wild how good Faux’s body is with graffiti, even with Red replacing Faux’s own head.
After that, BRC goes on to try and challenge DOT EXE at Millennium Mall. While trying to get into the mall itself, they see Solace again, who Tryce finds off-putting due to being a “claustrophobic masochist”. Once inside the mall itself, they run into Vinyl, who tries to offer help to BRC. Tryce is immediately distrustful of her due to her association with DJ Cyber and FUTURISM, though Bel thinks Vinyl isn’t against them at the moment. Later on, once BRC have access to all of the mall, Tryce starts trusting Vinyl a bit more when she reveals she doesn’t want to work with DJ Cyber anymore, and might have more info for BRC about Red’s dreams and Faux.
After beating DOT EXE in a crew battle and winning the mall as their turf, Tryce and the others find the DOT EXE leader killed. Red in particular ends up blacking out again after seeing his corpse. After Red regains consciousness, he, Tryce, and Bel are on one of the upper floors of the mall’s main area. Tryce comments that Red’s blackouts are definitely not normal, even for a new cyberhead like him. Unfortunately, he also mentions how they don’t have time to figure out what’s going on with Red right now, due to the police investigating the DOT EXE leader’s death. Thus Tryce and the other leave the mall to head back to their hideout.
Once they’re there, they find Vinyl waiting for them. Tryce questions why she’s here, to which she responds that she’ll be joining their crew. While Tryce acknowledges that Vinyl helped them out at the mall, he clearly doesn’t want her to join. However, she interrupts him, trying to explain the cause for Red’s blackouts and dreams.
It’s at this point that Escher runs in to shoot Red in the head. After the reveal that there’s a human head inside of his cyberhead, Vinyl tries to get Tryce and Bel to promise not to tell anyone about this. Tryce refuses, saying they need to get Red to a doctor. On Bel’s suggestion of looking for the Flesh Prince in particular, Tryce, Bel, and Vinyl leave Red at the hideout to get the Prince’s help.
Once they get the Flesh Prince to check on Red, Tryce gives the Prince a hard glare to get him to fess up on what’s going on with Red’s head. It works, with the Flesh Prince confessing that at some point, he was given a human head to look after, and had put it in a cyberhead to help preserve it. However, eventually it started losing its memories after being detached from a body for so long. When Tryce came to him with Faux’s headless body, the Prince found it was a perfect match for the head he was taking care of.
The Prince does not specify who the head really belongs to, and Vinyl only states that the head belongs to a person who was “public enemy number 1”. Despite the vagueness, Tryce says that whoever he was, he still had amazing skills as a writer, given what Red has demonstrated up to that point.
With Red still determined to go All City to get his memories back, BRC decide to head for Pyramid Island next. There, they’ll have to take on Devil Theory. If Tryce is spoken to at the hideout before heading off to the island, Tryce admits he wants to teach Devil Theory a lesson, since he’s heard they actually snitch to the cops against their fellow writers.
After getting enough REP on the island and having already dealt with Devil Theory several times, Tryce ends up calling them out just before their crew battle. He refers to them as a bunch of rats for how they’ve broken the Code of the Street time and again, even when they try to accuse DJ Cyber of doing the same thing.
Once BRC win the crew battle, they are warned by Devil Theory that the DJ will be coming after them next. They hear a loud banging sound from a nearby public toilet, and Tryce says it must be the DJ himself. Fortunately, it turns out to just be Solace. When he tries to talk about how much he enjoyed being in a cramped space, Tryce calls him a degenerate and asks one of the others to “get this weirdo out of my face”.
When Solace sees a selfie with Red’s real face exposed on Bel’s phone, he claims that it’s the face of his friend who died. Tryce and Red try to question him further about this, but are interrupted by Vinyl screaming. This leads to them seeing DJ Cyber trying to punish her as a traitor, and Red having a 1v1 fight against him.
With the DJ beaten and Red having gone through another dream stage, it’s revealed that Red was actually Felix the whole time. Tryce mentions how they were tricked, and that it turned out Vinyl was in on the whole thing. She and the DJ were trying to help Red get his old memories back as the legendary writer Felix. The DJ explains that Faux is now manipulating the police via Project Algo to kill other writers, and that only Felix knew his “weakness”. When Red Felix admits he still doesn’t remember that part, Tryce assures him that they’re still going to help him get his memories back.
At this point, Solace also tries to join BRC. Tryce immediately says no, but Bel allows Solace to join anyways.
Regrouping back at the hideout, BRC go over their plan to tackle Mataan as the final borough they need to go All City. Tryce comments that even though DJ Cyber is on their side now, they still need to beat FUTURISM in a fair crew battle as part of the Code of the Street. He warns everyone not to underestimate them, describing them as “cyber as hell” and willing to take any openings to humiliate their opponents.
After FUTURISM is defeated and Red Felix recovers the last of his memories, Faux shows up in a walking tank, having thrashed Devil Theory right outside of Mataan’s main plaza. When he’s about to finish them off, Solace steps in to stop him. Tryce tries to warn him to not say anything, but Solace ends up directing Faux’s attention towards Red Felix, saying Faux tried to kill him but he’s still alive even after that.
Faux at that point seems to be getting ready to fight Red Felix himself. Before that can happen, Tryce calls him out on what he’s done as part of Project Algo. Tryce once thought of Faux as a friend and fellow writer, but acknowledges that now he’s just a murderer. Once Red Felix calls out Faux as well, Faux decides to get rid of them all, leading into the first fight against him.
With Faux having fallen off the edge of the plaza, at first it seems he’s finally defeated. Tryce comments that he could have beaten Faux himself, but unfortunately Faux ends up coming back in a more monstrous tank mech. He rips off Red Felix’s head and kidnaps Solace, leaving Tryce and the others to worry about what’s left of Red Felix.
Fortunately, Rietveld arrives at the plaza with Felix’s original body, helping to reunite his head with it. Tryce demands to get some sort of diplomatic immunity for stopping Faux and saving the city, and Rietveld promises she’ll do her best on that front.
BRC proceed to work together to go after Faux, with Felix being the one to deal with him for one last battle. At the end of that, Tryce, Bel, Vinyl, and DJ Cyber help keep the armor around Faux’s head open, allowing Felix to go in for the finishing blow.
Later on, back at the hideout, Tryce is seen sitting with the Oldheads, discussing something among themselves. Then, Tryce stands up to make an announcement to the rest of the crew: BRC is now official All City! They all have a dance party together to celebrate their success as a crew.

His spring and summer outfits are unlocked by default.
His autumn outfit is found in Millennium Square, on a ledge near the entrance to Millennium Mall. His winter outfit is also in Millennium Square, though it's on a ledge near the square's back alley. To get it, you would need to climb the central tower that's covered in billboards, then try to jump and boost from there to the ledge with the outfit. Otherwise, there's a wire near the street entrance to the back alley which leads all the way to the ledge.
