FULL NAME: Tyler Alexander Dawson
NICKNAMES: Tyler, Ty-Ty (he hates that), Dawson, Ty-Die
AGE: 23
BIRTHDATE: May 2, 1986
GENDER: boy
SEXUALITY: despite cruel rumors, he's straight
OCCUPATION/GROUP: photographer
CANON OR ORIGINAL: original
PLAYBY: Nate Novarro
BODY TYPE: Tyler stands at 5'5 "on a good day", he puts it. He's not pack with muscles, but there is a little bit hidden beneath his sweater. After all, he carries all his camera equipment himself.
HAIR: Soft and brown. It hangs shaggy and pretty straight, though it can get a little wavy right after a shower
EYES: Like his hair, Tyler's eyes are soft and brown. His chocolate brown eyes are generally hidden behind the lens of a camera or the lens of his glasses. When they're not hidden, they're transfixed on the floor.
CLOTHING: Coming from a well-to-do family, Nick's often well dressed. Comfortable jeans with a collared shirt is his usual. Other days, he'll wear a sweater. The sleeves of whatever he's wearing are almost always pushed up since he hates having things in his way when he works. He almost always wears a scarf around his neck so he has a little place to hide when things get too rough for him.
He also has a nose ring that he wears on the left side of his nose. When he's working, though, he generally doesn't wear it in attempts to look professional.
LIKES:
- art
- painting
- photography
- coffee
- relaxing
- not being noticed
- listening to music
- American Idol (guilty pleasure)
- down to earth people
- girls (he admires from a distance)
- teen titans (too bad they don't show it anymore)
DISLIKES:
- being in the spotlight
- stress
- disappointment
- cigarettes
- rap
- (most) country music
- football
- the wrestling team
- his sister's dance team
- expectations
- fights
HABITS: When Tyler gets nervous he tends to stutter and not look directly at someone. Lots of 'ummms' and 'uhhhs' get placed in between words and he tends to start rambling, making absolutely no sense at all. He begins to shift back and forth, and he gets pretty pale – almost sick-looking.
He also has to straighten everything out after someone's touched it. It's a little OCD of him, and he knows that. But, if someone comes into his home or work area, touches and moves everything and doesn't put it back, it eats him up inside. Once a guest has left, he re-arranges everything into it's exact prior position.
STRENGTHS: He's crazy smart. Tyler just knows random bits of knowledge. He's a walking, talking Google. Tyler also has a high tolerance level. It takes a lot to get to him and even when he's mad, he doesn't really yell. He's a pretty mellow guy that prefers to just keep to himself and stay silent and unnoticed. He's also not one to hold grudges. No, he doesn't exactly forget the wrongs against him, but he doesn't dwell on them either.
WEAKNESSES: He's a rich kid with rich parents and he's got a successful career and had graduated top of his class in high school. You'd think Tyler would be a tennis playing, country clubbing, hair gelling snob. This couldn't be more far from the truth. Tyler has a severe lack of self esteem nor does he have a backbone to stand up for himself. He takes any verbal abuse without a sound and sometimes, he believes it.
SECRETS: Tyler has actually never had a girl friend. Sure, he's admired many girls, but never had the courage to ask one out. And his whole high school life revolved around books and essays and studying, so he didn't have the time to go to a dance or be social at all.
Tyler also took his high school S.A.Ts completely wasted. He got drunk to manage and dull his stress. Well, it worked. Tyler doesn't even remember taking his tests. He only proof he has of taking them is his score. He got the highest grade in his class.
FEARS: His biggest fear is probably rejection. At times, his own family rejected him for not being athletic and choosing the arts over popularity. Tyler hated the feeling and never wanted it to happen again. So, he stays silent and keeps to himself. After all, if he doesn't put himself out there, what is there to reject?
He also fears amounting to nothing and being forgotten. All his life, he's worked and worked. He never spared time for a social life and all of high school was spent in the shadow of his jock brothers. What if it all goes to waste? Tyler fears dying alone and unnoticed. No, he doesn't want the world to freeze and mourn him, but he does want someone to care rather than being lost among the many names etched on cold tombstones in a lonely graveyard.
PERSONALITY: about a paragraph or so. i'm not very picky. except please please please be descriptive and make it good!
MOTHER: Renee Heinz-Dawson, 49, heiress to Heinz ketchup
FATHER: Jonathan Dawson, 63, doctor
SIBLINGS:
Lucas Dawson, 27, Married, former football champion, currently a dentist
Keith Dawson, 25, former wrestling champion, in college on a baseball scholarship
Victoria Christine Dawson, 16, captain of the high school dance team and soccer team
PETS: Currently owns an Alaskan Malamute puppy named Balto
HISTORY: Third child of four, Tyler was the odd one out. Every child in the Dawson family was involved in some sort of sport. Well, not Tyler. Tyler liked the art club, year book and photography. Mr. Dawson always measured the world in power. If you have power, you'll be successful. Popularity equaled power. Art and stupid little snapshots did not.
That's not to say his parentals completely forgot about their nerdy son. Since he chose a life without sports, they pushed him in academics. They forced him to stay up late, studying, reading, learning. As a result, almost all freetime was taken up. And the little time Tyler did have to relax? Since he didn't really have many friends (since he couldn't go out and make any) he either studied some more or took some photographs or painted to pass the time. His sibling saw he was highly intelligent and took advantage of their brother by forcing and blackmailing him to do their homework. Tyler never put up a fight, anyway.
In his Junior year of high school, his teacher saw that the photos he took were amazing and a little on the professional side. She sent them to one of her photographer friends and he agree that the boy had natural talent with a camera. So, the photographer, Nigel Barker, came in to the school to see Tyler and offered him a spot as Nigel's personal apprentice all summer long. Tyler quickly agreed and he soon found himself all over the world, taking photos of landscapes, but mostly, beautiful models. Tyler got the honor and pleasure of meeting all the contestants in American's Next Top Model, and, of course, working in their photo shoot. At the end of the summer, when it was time to go back to his hum-drum life at his private high school, Nigel offered Tyler a permanent job after he graduated high school.
He accepted.
Senior year was really just a blur to him. Nothing important resulted in his senior year. The only thing that kept Tyler going was next summer...and his parents cracking the whip and forcing him to stay studious. After he had graduated, Tyler packed his things and moved out to start his new and successful life doing the only thing in life he truly enjoyed.
