Tyler Jones is not former military nor was he from a wealthy background he has gadgets and inventions that show off his ingenuity, however, they are cheaply made inventions that Tyler himself has made personally or has had made by a friend named **Carl Wilson**. Carl Wilson is a character that was raised in a suburban area his parents are also divorced but he sees his father every other weekend. Carl is typically shown as Tyler’s best friend. At times he can come off as sheltered and keep in the dark about the world around him. Carl has a thin and lanky physique, what he doesn’t have in size he makes up for in personality often being the loud person in the room and saying what everyone else is thinking. When Carl learns about Tyler being a vigilante he freaks out and questions almost everything. Despite being very book smart the character at times lacks common sense due to his overwhelming excitement. Carl recommends using his double life to get girls and gain popularity at first feeling that it will make both of them the coolest kids in school. Eventually, he calms down occasionally making remarks alluding to the fact that Carl is different. He is playful and funny but loyal and someone that you can truly trust in times when you absolutely need him. Carl occasionally builds gadgets and helps supply modified tech to help Tyler Jones.

When Tyler first starts taking on the criminals in Blüd County Heights he gains a lot of attention. Michael begins to search for the serum that was stolen. With Sarah and Michael working on the story she finds a book bag that was in an evidence lock up but eluded police reports and other legal documents. Michael and Sarah sneak into the hospital and find a book bag that was left behind and finds a student ID that belonged to Tyler Jones. Michael addresses clearly that this kid was an amateur thief possibly along because of peer pressure of something to that effect. Michael and Sarah decide to split up as Michael goes to Tyler’s home claiming to be a friend from High School. Tyler and Michael get into a minor altercation when he denies having been there at Harborview. Meanwhile, Sarah lands herself into trouble after looking into the falsified documents and the cover-up at Blüd County Heights. Tyler Jones would come to her rescue but then both of them would be trapped and left hiding in a broom closet in the upstairs of the hospital on a floor that seems abandoned. Searching the rooms on that floor armed men and Blüd County Heights Police would be searching for Sarah and Tyler eager to kill them and stop the story. The Outsider would show up and save the two and stop all of the armed men. After Sarah was saved, Tyler would sit beside her and make sure she was safe. He would get a text telling him to go up to the rooftop. The Outsider and Tyler talk on the roof as he begins to commend him for trying to save Sarah.

Tyler would go on to take on the street level criminals at first branching out and taking on other street-level criminals. Eventually, Tyler started facing criminals that would at some point gain special abilities that challenge his mission to save Blüd County Heights. Using a more hopeful approach Tyler tries to save Blüd County Heights using a more hopeful influence, but as the world grew darker Tyler did too. He would begin to start feeling that the best way to fight was to utilize their shadows as opposed to being a reactionary character to the dangers surrounding him. Instead of using the basic hoodie, Tyler would have a friend and ally start to develop a suit that would offer more protection than the fabric that he originally wore. The new suit would use the design of the old one adding Kevlar from a case involving stolen police gear that was being sold to street criminals. After apprehending them, Tyler would leave it for Lyssa Jacobs to turn in after helping him solve the case. **Lyssa Jacobs** is a girl who went to middle school with Tyler. She would become heavily involved in the middle of a major investigation. This investigation would lead to Lyssa needing to be saved after the corrupt police who were selling guns illegally, would discover her involvement after losing her brother a clean cop during one of their operations. Lyssa tries to prove her brother was a good cop and that he was in the process of uncovering major police corruption that reached even the top officials. Lyssa, following clearing her brother’s name and getting certain police officials to be incarcerated she would take some of the gear using it to turn it into gear to help Tyler. She is a smart resourceful and has a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to computers mainly municipal camera hacking due to her late brother’s NYPD background. Lyssa and Tyler eventually become closer sharing a connection and falling deeply for one another. Lyssa begins to also train learning certain things for self-defense. After the death of her brother Lyssa was alone having no other relatives or family members.
