Arrogant, narcissistic, snobbish, spoiled, selfish, immature, pompous, overly class-conscious, cripplingly emotionally underdeveloped and comically egomaniacal, Tybalt is a primary antagonist for the Main Character throughout Being A DIK. He is obsessed with Jill and will stoop to any level to win her over. He is also the son (through adoption) of Jade and Stephen Burke, and the brother (through adoption) of Sage Burke.

## History

#### **The Over-The-Top Rude and Embarrassing Man-Child Snob**

Tybalt is first seen with Jill after MC is attacked by the Tri-Alphas.

In Episode 2, while MC is doing yoga with Isabella and Jill, they are brashly interrupted by Tybalt. Tybalt rudely ignores MC to ask Jill if she would like to go on a run with him back to the Preps' mansion to discuss ideas for her anti-bullying campaign, and she accepts.

MC and Derek are tasked with stealing items from the Preps' mansion. While they sneak in, masked and in their underwear. While they are outside, they overhear Tybalt talking to himself, practicing approaching Jill, asking her to join him in the garden for breakfast. Derek remarks "practicing his speech for someone? What a loser." Jill then opens her door, and Tybalt is standing there. He wants to get the morning started with a discussion about their future career paths. Jill says she already has plans and will be gone for a while. Tybalt then offers to join her "while walking" and so they can discuss it together. Jill, already annoyed says that he knows what her career path is, and she has to go. Tybalt retreats back to his room, and then calls Jill again. This is when MC and Derek make their move into Tybalt's room, and they pose for sexual pictures, and Derek even manages to grab a stag's head on a plaque mounted on the wall. Tybalt then spots them, and they manage to escape while Tybalt screams for security- and Derek manages to escape with the stag's head in tow. A little later, Tybalt is with Jill, discussing what MC and Derek stole. Jill mentions that some of her underwear is gone. Tybalt commiserates, as in addition to the stag's head his wallet is gone; he claims there must have been $2,000 in it; he then says "you know how it is, I don't keep count". He then lies that he tried to fight them off, but they scurried off after the first couple of punches. Jill then is scared at even the thought of someone breaking into the Preps' mansion. Tybalt then puts his arm around Jill, and reassures her.

Jill is carrying MC back to the mansion, where Tybalt attempts to get MC out of the mansion by offering to call an ambulance in a condescending manner. Jill rebuffs Tybalt's offer and takes Tremolo up to her room. The next day, MC taunts Tybalt while leaving the mansion. We then see Tybalt in a flashback, with eventual DIK Fraternity President Rusty Burgmeister (the "B" in B&R University) trying to get into the Prep's Fraternity (this was before the DIKs Fraternity was founded). Tybalt evaluates Rusty, and then immediately strikes a wrong chord with Rusty by calling him by his full name Russell. Rusty wants him to call him by his preferred name Rusty, and Tybalt, with a smirk on his face will not do that- he feels that he should "honor his legacy with pride" by being called by his full name; Tybalt reminds Rusty of what his great-grandfather did. Rusty then questions why he isn't President of the Preps' Fraternity, and Tybalt, more focused on the frat's image and his own feelings than Rusty's attempted association berates Rusty for using a "derogatory" colloquial term ("Preps") to describe the Alpha Nu Omega fraternity, being a Burgmeister. Rusty then calls out Tybalt for his parents buying him the President's position and him spitting on B&R's legacy by doing that. Tybalt then asks if Rusty actually wants to be part of the frat, and condescendingly suggests going to other frats, and makes up excuses for not accepting him- even going so far as to suggest setting up his own frat. Rusty leaves angrily, referring to Tybalt as a "f\*\*\*ing asshole".

#### **Fire Sprinklers and Blackmail**

Episode 5 is where Tybalt's character development comes into play with the story. We find out Tybalt is Jade and Stephen Burke's adoptive son, and his status amongst the preps. Tybalt is standing behind a door recording Quinn grinding on Josy, with his phone then enters and rudely moves past Josy. Josy reacts with hostility, and Tybalt responds that "this is a party, not a rave", and warns her not to treat their guests like "farm animals", and to keep her "lesbianism" elsewhere, as he finds it "appalling" and that "no one wants to see that". Josy does not respond and turns away. Quinn then goes up to Tybalt and calls him "Tybbie", and puts on her sales hat. Tybalt tells her not to call him that, and to give him the big champagne bottle, as it is very expensive. Quinn tells him to chill, and asks him what is wrong with a pet name. Tybalt asks her what her name is, and she tells him, and he intentionally gets her name wrong with dimwitted mockery, and tells "Quintessential" to keep nicknames someplace else, and that he doesn't like the HOT cheerleader-type uniform she is wearing. Quinn retorts that he should have expected a sorority since he hired one. Tybalt responds that he hired the HOTs to "improve my chances with my guests". Before Quinn can respond, Tybalt says he needs to go back and entertain his guests. Quinn puts on her saleswoman hat and asks to have private chat with him. Quinn has a business proposal, and Tybalt snarkily retorts that he is "not interested in buying your girl scout cookies". "Quintessential" responds that she has essential goods he might be interested in, Stupid, snarky and child-like as ever, Tybalt assumes Quinn is selling soap, and asks her to talk to Rich about that, and berates her for "ruining" a perfectly good bottle of champagne. Tybalt then asks someone to pull out their phone, because he is about to do something "insane"; he then takes the champagne bottle Quinn was holding and pours it all over a nearby counter; Lucas and Trent are shocked at this, and Tybalt replies "it's only money".

Tybalt is later seen with his adoptive parents, who are none other than Jade and Stephen Burke. Tybalt is seen with Jade; he criticizes her for the dress she is wearing; he was hoping she would wear something less revealing and more expensive looking. Jade then strikes back hard and tells him "not to give her any lip". Tybalt apologizes as he is on edge in the least pressured situation possible; apparently all eyes are on him. Jade tells him to go get her a martini; he does so. Derek and MC, sent by the DIKs to crash and ruin the Preps' party set off the sprinklers, and escape. However, while escaping they are spotted by Tybalt. Tybalt, who has developed a jealous hatred of MC due to Jill's obvious interest in him tells him to get off the Preps' property, as he is not welcome there. The player either has the option to walk away or taunt Tybalt; either way Tybalt tells him to leave after slapping him and calling him a "filthy, disgusting loser". The player has the option to not respond or punch Tybalt squarely in the face. If he punches him, Tybalt is shocked, and the MC walks off.

Tybalt is eating watermelon on the upstairs porch. Jill appears. Tybalt greets her with a kiss, and they sit down. Jill wants to know what happened during the party with the fire sprinklers. Tybalt then tries to avoid the topic, but Jill is adamant about knowing. So Tybalt tells a huge lie about a fire being started, that he went to put it out himself, that MC was responsible for starting it, and that he plans to press charges. Jill asks where the fire was, and Tybalt, playing on Jill's innocent nature tells her "she doesn't need to know". Jill doesn't believe what Tybalt is saying, feeling that is inconsistent with MC's character. Tybalt rebuffs Jill, saying that MC is a "horrible human being" and he also mentions the eggs thrown at him by the DIKs after he was punched. When Tybalt mentions he wants to press charges, and Jill tries to convince him otherwise., Tybalt then says that there is something she can do for him so that he won't press charges- and that is go on three dates with him- effectively blackmailing and coercing Jill for moronic, childish and shortsighted reasons.

#### **The Sabotage of the Butt Monkey Tybalt Burke**

Tybalt is later seen at the gym, exercising with Jill's best friend Isabella, to her intense annoyance, as she hates Tybalt. She is on the phone with MC, and at the same time Tybalt thinks she is speaking to him. Tybalt attempts to impress Isabella, while she doesn't pay any attention. The way the discussion between Isabella and MC is going Tybalt seems to think Isabella is going to work out with him, and she walks off, all while Tybalt thinks she is actually going to work out with him.

Jill is at Isabella's house, and she tells her what is going on with Tybalt and MC. She cannot see MC because of Tybalt blackmailing her and MC. Isabella then reveals that, from the bottom of her heart that she loathes Tybalt, and will do whatever it takes to make these excruciating dates easier for Jill. Tybalt is then later seen picking up Jill for their date; she tries to stall him but eventually she has to go through with it.

Jill is later seen on a "date" with Tybalt at a mall. He is predictably dictating everything and she does not look happy. Isabella however swoops in and makes up an excuse to try on new clothes with Jill, separating her from Tybalt. Isabella reveals to Jill that she is in fact mentoring Sage Burke, President of the HOTs sorority, Tybalt's adoptive sister and another girl MC has been having sex with. Jill is shocked by this news. Isabella reveals that although Sage's famous attitude is on display, she is smart and that anyone can have a stimulating conversation with her. Isabella is annoyed with herself for having pre-conceived notions about Sage. Jill reveals that Sage brushed her off.

Later on, MC and Isabella are at the tennis club, waiting for Jill and Tybalt to show up to have a doubles-match with them. MC wonders how long Jill can put up with the man-childish Tybalt, and Isabella reassures him that she will shake him off soon. Isabella, another woman MC has been developing a relationship with asks if MC is jealous, and he says he isn't, and that he cares about Jill. Jill and Tybalt come out, and MC antagonizes him about the egg yolk in his hair, much to Isabella's annoyance. They start the game, and MC hits Tybalt with the ball first in the fake teeth that MC knocked out when he punched Tybalt in the face at the mansion. MC serves again, and the choice is made to hit Tybalt again, and this time the ball hits him in the testicles. On the third serve, the ball hits Tybalt in the face, knocking out the fake teeth and giving him a bloody nose. Tybalt can't take it anymore and quits in a rage, much to Jill's happiness.

Tybalt and MC are in the shower area. Tybalt brags about how today wasn't his best day, and that he could have beaten MC easily on his best day. MC responds as that being a "shitty excuse" and points out all of Tybalt's numerous social failings. Tybalt then sees MC's big penis, and is amazed and surprised.

Sage, Jill and Josy are at Tybalt's misinformed and ignorant presentation about the economic status and development of the American people. As they go through his lecture picture by picture on the large screen, a picture of a huge penis then pops up, sabotaging Tybalt's presentation. Josy and Sage immediately recognize this penis as MC's, and they start laughing, while Jill, who has not had sex yet with MC doesn't recognize it. Everyone laughs at Tybalt.

#### **An Adult Dealing With A 20-Something 2-Year Old**

Jill is seen practicing her piano on the 4th floor of the Preps' mansion. After a phone call, Jill goes back to practicing, and then Tybalt comes in. Tybalt tries really hard; he condescendingly applauds Jill even though she was hitting wrong notes, and then starts making comparisons between her and Mozart. He then shows her his new teeth, and while she points out him interrupting her practicing, he asks her not to forget to invite him to her piano recital. Tybalt then reveals what instrument he has always wanted to play. Jill asks if it is the guitar, and Tybalt brushes that off as a "poor man's instrument" (in probable reference to MC)- he has always wanted to learn how to play the cello. Jill then tries to make this conversation their third date; he asks him to elaborate on him playing the cello. Tybalt then says that he will save that conversation for their actual third date, which he reveals that it will be a night-time dinner date.

Tybalt misses the piano recital, as because he thinks he is the center of all attention, he was expected to be invited by Jill herself (even though she didn't invite anyone; it is a public event). Jamie was recording the whole performance on his cellphone, and he uploads it to Rooster- and the reception is nothing short of universal acclaim. So much so that it has gone viral with 24,000 views in the first hour alone. All of the people in MC and Jill's social circles are nothing short of amazed and very impressed at this musical performance; Tybalt posts on Rooster why he wasn't invited to this recital.

Tybalt and Jill are on their third "date", a night time dinner at the Cafe d'Amour (Cafe of Love), where Tybalt is in a tuxedo and Jill is dressed less than casually in largely black. There is even a guy with a confetti cannon. Jill is already there, on her cellphone, barely paying attention to Tybalt, who apologizes to her for keeping her waiting. (The parts with MC coming to crash Jill's date, her following him and all the relationship scenes between them only happen if the player selects Jill's path, and if she likes him enough.) MC gets a text from Isabella, where she informs him about Jill and Tybalt's third date. MC then sprints over to the cafe. Tybalt then exclaims that these 3 dates have been wonderful for him and that he is more and more sure of them as a couple. Jill retorts that they are not a couple, but Tybalt doesn't seem to be listening. He says that he believes that she has genuine feelings for him, that he knows her better than she knows herself and that with her by his side, nothing can stop them. And then, to top all that off, he pulls out a ring and proposes marriage.

This proves to be too much for Jill, and simply cannot endure Tybalt and his antics anymore. Her kind and affectionate personality seemingly disappears, and she becomes furious, and starts berating Tybalt about how she really feels and what is actually going on. She calls their dates "painful", calls him out for trying to control almost every aspect of her life and expresses her amazement that he is so blind and delusional as to what is going on that he asks her to marry him. Tybalt, being the man-child he is is not able to empathize with or relate to Jill's adult feelings, as he is so ludicrously immature and mentally and emotionally underdeveloped that he cannot understand such feelings, and similar to a toddler he is only able to think of himself and his own feelings. Not only does she refuse to marry him, but she is done playing along with his bullshit, that he cannot control her and sue her friends anymore, and warns him that he is on thin ice with her. Tybalt, who bursts into tears seems to be more concerned about the profanity she is using rather than her feelings. MC then appears, and Jill is clearly embarrassed for allowing MC to hear her use profanity, even though he clearly does not care about that. She is showing off an assertive side that she has not shown before- she tells MC that she is aware of his multiple relationships, and that she wants him all to herself. MC then declares that he is committing to Jill, and they walk off together, leaving Tybalt shocked, humiliated and sobbing loudly.

#### **Tybalt, the Screaming Helpless Toddler and Desperate Pervert**

Josy, Maya, MC and Sage are all together in the city and are going to Dr. Jade and Stephen Burke's swanky condominium to try to get Maya a scholarship to free her from her father. Much to MC's absolute shock, Tybalt is Sage's adoptive brother- and MC has been having a intensely sexual affair with Jade, unbeknownst to anyone, much less Tybalt. Tybalt is furious at MC's presence, and he is adamant that MC leave, but Sage and their parents allow him in. Josy and MC are there to support Maya. Josy and MC sit on the couch across from Tybalt, who is revealed to have a strange relationship with his parents, as he calls Jade "Mommy" and Stephen "Daddy". This catches Jade's attention, and she asks Josy what she just said. Josy then says that Jade has a lovely home; Jade thanks her.

Later on, MC and Tybalt's mother Jade are having sex in the kitchen, they are interrupted by Tybalt, and MC ducks down behind the counter while Jade shouts at Tybalt to go away, which he does. After this, while Stephen is still talking to Maya and Sage Tybalt goes to Jade's home office behind closed doors, and declares he refuses to have dinner if MC is at the table, that to Tybalt the thought of feeding MC their food is appalling, and that MC is a "horrible human being and he's all that is wrong with the world", all while MC and Josy are listening. MC gets slightly agitated, while Jade doesn't want to hear it. Tybalt then lists off all the things MC did (each one is only listed if those things are actually done): the penis slide sabotage during Tybalt's presentation (which Josy bursts out laughing remembering, as she was there), MC punching him, "ruining" his love life (his "chances" with Jill), knocking his teeth out with a tennis ball and throwing eggs at him. Jade doesn't take any of this seriously.

They all have dinner together. Josy whispers to Maya how her meeting went, and Maya reveals that Stephen can't help her. Josy asks if there is anything to be done, and Maya says there isn't. Josy exclaims that she likes the beef, and Tybalt corrects her in that it is venison, not beef. Josy then says that's why she likes it, Tybalt then says that it's not her fault that she hasn't had the chance to expand her palate in life. Josy is offended and exclaims what a rude comment that was; Tybalt retorts that the truth hurts. Stephen demand he apologize, and Tybalt does- for, in his own words, telling the truth. Maya then says that Josy is right- this beef is delicious, and Tybalt is annoyed, and Josy smiles a sly smile at Maya.

Tybalt is later seen to be at the Preps' mask party run concurrently with the DIK's Halloween party. The party turns out to be a lame disaster, so much so that the other preps go to the DIK's party; or they at least try to. Later on, Tybalt has not given up on his pursuit of Jill, and often appears wherever she is, including at a yoga studio. Tybalt is failing at performing yoga, to the yoga teacher Paula's attention. She helps him to his reluctance. Later on, Jill questions Trent, the Preps' legal counsel about Tybalt lying to him about the fire sprinkler incident, and Jill informs Trent about what actually happened, and they barge into Tybalt's room and confront him, only to find him naked and pleasuring himself with his penis inserted into a watermelon wrapped with a pair of Jill's panties that have a picture of Jill on them. Stunned and horrified, Trent leaves in embarrassment, and a furious Jill kicks Tybalt right in the nuts. Trent later informs Jill that Tybalt will have to answer to the college committee board for his perverse and embarrassing antics, almost certainly costing him his position as President of the Preps' fraternity.

## Personality and Traits

In addition to being arrogant, selfish and pompous, Tybalt is a mentally and emotionally underdeveloped man-child, and a spoiled brat- extremely entitled, conceited, mean, narcissistic, childish, prudish and snobbish, and does not associate with and looks down on people who are less wealthy than he is. Tybalt is effectively a toddler in a 20-something's body; he puts himself first in every situation and makes every social situation about himself, and he cannot stand it when he feels he is not the center of attention, much like how toddlers behave. Not one character in the game seems to like Tybalt- not even his own family, even though they seem to care about him- including even Sage, minimally. In fact, not one person in the game has anything positive to say about Tybalt.

So pompous and snobbish is Tybalt that he speaks with a poor posh English accent- even though he is American; the other Preps are frequently embarrassed by Tybalt's frequently anti-social, narcissistic and childish behavior. Tybalt is also very creepy - he is seen sniffing Jill's panties and filming Quinn grinding on Josy at the Preps' party, and this creepiness is taken up a notch with the watermelon and Jill's panties incident.

## Relationships

### **Preps**

Tybalt's relationship with his fraternity subordinates is not developed much, but they seem to not like or respect him, and maybe even slightly fear him, and also find him to be annoying and in-effective as a leader. As mentioned before they are often embarrassed by Tybalt and his anti-social, narcissistic and childish behavior. Tybalt's position as President of the Preps fraternity was largely pre-arranged by Stephen, and he did not earn the position by merit.

### **Family**

#### **Jade**

Tybalt's embarrassing relationship with Jade, a professor at B&R and his mother through adoption is a strange one. Tybalt, even at his age refers to Jade as "Mommy" and she treats him like a small child, as he behaves like one.

#### **Stephen**

Tybalt's relationship with his father through adoption Stephen is similar to his relationship with Jade; Tybalt has an embarrassing relationship with Stephen. Tybalt obeys every order Stephen gives without question and calls him "Daddy".

#### **Sage**

Tybalt's relationship with Sage, his sister through adoption is one of antagonism and hatred. Sage openly hates Tybalt and actually bonds with Jill Royce over their hatred of Tybalt. She hates him so much that she created a Rooster account called "Tyballs" to harass, annoy and humiliate him in front of everybody on Rooster, including the other Preps, as she is all too aware of his narcissism and egomania, and knows how to hit him where it hurts. Tybalt's feelings seem mutual towards Sage.

### **Jill Royce**

Tybalt is in love with the very beautiful and voluptuous Jill Royce, another woman of high society, and he obsessively and desperately pursues her, and is either unaware of or ignores Jill's reluctance to form a relationship, possibly due to him caring more about his self-image of being seen with a wealthy and beautiful young woman like Jill. He often comments on Jill's Rooster, and is never responded to by her. Jill goes on three "dates" with Tybalt, largely to stop Tybalt from pressing charges against MC after he set the fire alarm off and punched Tybalt in the face.

On their final "date", one Jill does not dress well for, Tybalt makes a pathetic marriage proposal, and in response, Jill's kind and compassionate personality is put to one side, as she is unwilling to put up with Tybalt any longer. Enraged and appalled at his childishly ludicrous level of entitlement and obliviousness to her actual feelings, she flatly rejects him, annoyed and repulsed by virtually every facet of his personality. She humiliates, rejects and walks out on him, and he then immediately and loudly bursts into tears, and continues doing so even in his room in the Preps' mansion, creepily clutching photos of Jill and chocolates and flowers he was going to give her. Tybalt doesn't seem capable of understanding Jill's anger towards him, and can only think about his own feelings and not getting what he wants in that moment- like a 2-year old child would.

Even after this rejection, Tybalt does not stop his irritating pursuit of Jill, even going so far as to perform faux-yoga and badly playing cello whenever she is practicing piano. Jill comes across his adoptive sister Sage and to her absolute shock, Jill discovers that Sage hates Tybalt as much as she and nearly everyone else does.

### **Main Character**

Tybalt has a very poor and hostile relationship with MC- they do not get along at all, largely due to Tybalt's extremely snobby and spoiled personality, and child-like nature. Tybalt first meets MC while he is doing yoga with Jill and Isabella. He initially sees MC as a minor annoyance, and rudely ignores him. After Tremolo spends the night with Jill, something Tybalt will likely never do, Tybalt begins to see MC as a genuine threat to his "relationship" with Jill and begins to hate MC, whereas Tybalt is nothing but a mere annoyance to MC. After MC escapes the Preps' party after setting the fire sprinklers off, Tybalt calls him very rude names and slaps him, to which MC responds to (players choice) punching him square in the face or walking away. Tybalt is so out of his depth with the MC that unbeknownst to Tybalt, MC is not only having a sexual relationship with Tybalt's dream partner (Jill), but he is also having sex with his sister (Sage) and mother (Jade) (not out of spite; this was a pure coincidence).

MC then begins to mess around with Tybalt, knocking his teeth out during a doubles tennis match and then indirectly sabotaging his humiliatingly ignorant and misinformed presentation about the economic status of the American population with a picture of his large dick. Tybalt also is extremely annoyed with MC's presence at a dinner at his parents' house, to the point of screaming at his mother Jade to get him out, to which she won't.

### **Isabella**

Tybalt's relationship with Jill's best friend Isabella is one-sided, as Tybalt frequently tries to get on her good side to impress Jill, while Isabella openly and intensely (in her own words) loathes Tybalt and frequently joins Jill to get her away from him.

### **Rusty**

Tybalt's relationship with Rusty, his opposite number at the DIKs fraternity is poor, and they do not do business together. During an interview for him to get into the Preps fraternity, Tybalt doesn't think Rusty actually wants to be in the Preps fraternity, and they do not see eye-to-eye. Tybalt seems to respect Rusty only because of his name and high society status. After the interview, Rusty refers to Tybalt as a "f\*\*\*ing asshole".

## Trivia

* Tybalt was named by one of Dr PinkCake's original Discord server admins, Dasati.
