-Backstory: In all terms of the word, Tyler is a free spirit. He always has been, and plans on being till the day he dies. As a toddler, he was always getting into things and playing random games he made up in his head. As a child in elementary school, he often led he children in his grade on "adventures" around the playground and coming up with games. During his middle school years, when Tyler was 13, he was caught sneaking out of the District through a fence in a hole. His intentions were only to explore and see something different for once. But the Peacekeeper who caught him thought he was escaping and had him flogged. It didn't affect him much, besides further fueling his wild and exploring spirit. He began working in the fields with his father when he turned 15 and that became his life. Working, school, more work. That was it. Tyler learned to love the Games, as it gave him time to take a break from the caging fields and watch something incredible. He didn't see the true gore and bloody nature of the Games, rather than 24 brave souls being courageous and daring. He loved to watch the careers dominate year after year, and that's what started his fascination with weapons. We would often sneak out an old bow of his fathers and practice on piles of hay when he was supposed to be working the grain fields. He also began training with knives. He bought a knife when he was sixteen from a small emporium in the main part of the District. So that became his day. Early morning work, school, work(but really training), and that was it. In his high school years, Tyler became quite popular and was liked all around and was known for being generally nice to everyone. All of his teachers agreed he was a good student, but too oftenly day dreamed and had his thoughts else where. All his life, Tyler has gone by what he thought and what he wanted to do, and no one else really ever affected his decisions. He does what he wants to and doesn't really care what others think. He is although a great friend and has an odd quality of undying loyalty if you gain his trust. When Tyler turned 18, he knew what he wanted to do. So when Reaping Day Came around, the escort didn't have enough time to say, "Now for the boys." before Tyler's hand was up, and he was yelling those two words. "I volunteer."
