Tylor is a Bystander Survivor and STR type Warrior, who has the potential to be promoted to Mythical Grade.

## Background

“Want one?” Chloe winked and handed him a bottle. “Sorry, it’s just water. Thought it’d be more fun this way. And because, why the hell not?” Tylor grinned in appreciation as he accepted the bottle. “Just don't break it, okay? I’m gonna use these to make explosives later to cheer myself up.” Chloe clinked her bottle against his.
“Haha, I’ll try. So, how’s everyone holding up? Today was some kinda day, huh?”
Earlier that day, Tylor, Chloe, and a few others had gone into the city on a supply run. Before they knew what was happening, they’d found themselves trapped inside a large building surrounded by a mob of walkers. They had fled to the basement, but by then, even more walkers had pushed their way inside, making it impossible to clear a path out. It was Chloe who had saved them, crawling out through a vent and drawing away the walkers using firecrackers.
“Everyone’s fine. I mean, no one died, so I’d say it was a damn good day.” Chloe replied.
“Thanks to you. We'd still be stuck in that basement if it weren’t for you and your firecrackers. Probably would’ve slowly starved to death down there... if the walkers didn’t get us first.”
Chloe smiled sheepishly and took a sip of water.
“Stop, you’re gonna make me blush. It was a team effort, honestly. I gotta say... never seen anyone handle a knife the way you do.”
Tylor shrugged off the compliment.
“Nah, I still got a long way to go. Still cut myself sometimes catching them. I gotta keep practicing.”
He showed her the scars on his arms.
“Where’d you learn how to do that anyway—with the rope? That shit looks scary as hell. Blows my mind whenever I see you do it and not lose an arm.”
Tylor looked at the ropes wrapped around his forearms.
“A few weeks after the outbreak, I got lucky and picked up an amazing knife. It was sharp and really wellmade. The blade and handle were decorated like something out of a museum. It saved my skin more times than I can count.”
He unraveled the rope around his left wrist.
“I lost it fighting walkers, though. Still get mad at myself thinking about it. One got behind me, and I'd have been a goner if it weren’t for that knife. Barely had time to put it through his head and make it out of there. But yeah, I couldn’t get the knife back. That’s why I came up with the idea of using ropes. Took a lot of practice... and you saw all the scars. Might seem like a crazy idea, yanking a knife toward your body, but I was pretty desperate. You’re lucky. Bet knowing how to make firecrackers came in pretty handy.”
Tylor gulped down the rest of his water. Chloe nodded, eyes sparkling.
“Yeah, who’d have thought working at a fireworks factory would actually end up being so useful? I hated it ’cause they paid us like shit, but yeah, guess I was lucky. But c’mon, don’t sell yourself short. You taught yourself the skills you needed to survive, and you’re out here getting better at it every day. Kinda inspiring, honestly.”
“Just trying to survive, like everyone else.”
Chloe rolled her eyes.
“Not everyone. I’ve seen too many people just lay down and die without ever trying to learn anything new. Give yourself some credit, haha.”
She took the empty bottle from Tylor.
“I’m gonna go get some more water. When I get back, will you teach me how to throw knives like you? I don’t think I have the balls to pull 'em back, though.”
Tylor smiled and started to wrap the rope around his wrist again.
“Trust me. If I can do it, you can do it. We can start with the basics and work our way up. I bet, in a few months, you’ll be throwing and catching knives like a pro. Just takes practice.”
“Mm, maybe later... Hey, I can show you how to work with gunpowder if you want! If you keep at it, it should only take a couple of years to get to my level.”
“Deal.”
Tylor threw the knife in his hand, then yanked it back, catching it neatly. “There’s so much stuff I don’t know... stuff I need to know to survive,” he mumbled. “Can’t hurt to learn as much as I can.”
