## Biography

### Childhood

Tim's childhood is vastly unknown as of now. He was raised by his father in a high-rise apartment and eventually met the other kids online.

### Pre-Entry

Being mostly out of the loop as to Sburb's imminent release, Tim spent most of his day prior to entry as he usually does, playing various games and harassing his friends. He showed some worry when Ryan informed him of Jeff's accident during his entry, but quickly assumed Ryan was just roleplaying upon learning about what really happened.

Later, Tim was added to a group chat with everyone (sans Ashley) so they could convince him to play Sburb with them. Tim started getting agitated and refused to help until April threatened him into playing. Tim then connected as Ashley's server player and helped her enter, though he predictably made the process quite painful. He destroys Ashley's desk and computer, throws her television away, and tries to spy on her in the bathroom.

After helping Ashley, Tim turned his attention back to Fortnite gameplay until his apartment mysteriously and very briefly loses power, ending his game. He is then contacted by April, whom he hesitantly answers. She screws with his room very briefly as punishment for his earlier wrongdoings, but then she helps him successfully navigate up to his roof while evading his father.

Once on the roof, Tim is urged by April to create a trollsona to use as his sprite. He ends up creating an abomination, which April manages to fix with a second prototyping much to his dismay. Afterwards, he creates his entry artifact; a target and a rifle with which to shoot the target. Tim shoots the target but it doesn't work, leading him to figure out that the target has to be shot with a 360 no-scope. It takes him a couple of attempts, but Tim manages to perform the trick and enter the Medium.

### Entry

Upon entering the Medium, Tim found himself in the Land of Spikes and Emerald. He responded by freaking the fuck out. His sprite attempts to explain to him what's going on, but Tim finds his information useless and instead goes to April for answers. She manages to calm him down, to which Tim then reveals that LOSAE is familiar to him. He then tells April about his dreams, and how he's seen LOSAE and the other kids' planets in them. Tim then learns that he is a Prospit dreamer and his dream self is already awake.

Tim then decides to go downstairs to gear up at the suggestion of April but he ends up encountering his father, who initiates a Strife with him.

## Personality and Traits

Tim is a very toxic individual, much to the ire of the people around him. He mocks and annoys his friends as a hobby and for attention, which he seeks to obtain by any means necessary.

He is also known to be very sexually explicit and perverted, shown mostly by the way he treats Ashley in their interactions. By Ashley's word, it is implied Tim has sent her (and by extension, the other girls) explicit pictures of himself without consent. Tim appears to follow the archetype of the "Nice Guy", a man who claims to be nice while insulting and demeaning women who refuse to date or engage in sexual activity with him. This type of person typically feels as if they are entitled to sex as a reward for being nice, and that women only go after abusive people. Tim has made it known that he feels this exact way, though he also acknowledges that he's not as nice as he says he is.

Despite this toxicity, he does show concern for his friends if they are seriously injured. Upon Jeff's death when entering the Medium, Tim initially didn't believe Ryan when he heard of the news, though he did drop the toxic act and wanted to know what happened when he realized Ryan was telling the truth. He later stopped believing the news when he learned more about Sburb, which he hadn't heard of before.

Tim has never read Homestuck, perceiving it as "cringy", and thus had no prior experience with Sburb's mechanics upon entering. Thus, he didn't believe anything he had heard about it until he started playing.

He tries to appear tough and stoic, though this image has broken on multiple occasions. Tim shows nervousness when discussing or interacting with things he senses as threatening, such as his father. He also failed to compose himself upon entry into his land, and hurriedly demanded answers from his sprite and April.

When April helped Tim enter the Medium, he seemed to want to give her a genuine thanks but was unable to say so.

Tim physically appears with slicked-back blonde hair. His appearance is strikingly similar to Dave Strider from Homestuck; a similarity that April pointed out to him.

## Relationships

### Dad Claire

Tim's relationship with his father is a very hostile one. His father seems to stalk and abuse him without cause or warning, which leads Tim to being very cautious when outside his room.

Tim appears very nervous when discussing his father and when planning to leave his room when his father is in the apartment. Tim also does not seem to care about his father being attacked by underlings, suggesting he feels little emotional attachment towards him.

### April Tiffany

Tim didn't seem to care much about April, and treated her as he would his other friends, until she threatened him into playing Sburb. From then, Tim feared April, especially when he learned what she would be able to do as his server player, and he believed April would kill him.

Tim then remained careful during interactions with her, but she later regained his trust by helping him through the early stages of the game.

### Ashley Aria

Tim's interactions with Ashley are typically hostile. Ashley sees him as disgusting, while Tim sees her as weird and creepy. Despite this, Tim seems to be somewhat attracted to her, as he is regularly shown hitting on her and generally acting inappropriately around her. The attraction is far more likely to be purely a lustful one rather than a romantic one. Ashley does not reciprocate these feelings at all.

### Ryan Sears

Tim regularly harasses Ryan for his interests, and sees him as the easiest target for his trolling due to Ryan's relatively short temper. Ryan, of course, dislikes interacting with him, and wonders why he still calls Tim a friend.

### Effort Sprite

Tim was initially happy to meet his sprite, but after April turned him into Effort Sprite, Tim felt sorely disappointed. He doesn't seem to care much for Effort Sprite, and treats him as just a mindless character rather than a living being.

## Trivia

* Tim shares his last name with Joey Claire from Hiveswap, though this is purely coincidence.
