Weight: 150lbs
Occupation pre-apocalypse: Private Military Contractor (PMC)
Current Weapons:


Tyler is armed with a Springfield Armories M-1A, chambered for and loaded with .308 'Federal Premium' jacketed hollowpoint ammunition. Fitted in a JAE-100 ultralightweight close-quarter-battle stock with a no-zoom 35mm antiglare red dot sight and a rail-mounted tactical light, (as is standard for contractors in the employ of Ravenwood Tactical Solutions,) allowing him and his cohorts to 'just follow orders' anywhere from room-to-room fighting to engagements out to 400 meters.

This heavy-caliber semiautomatic rifle is loaded with box-style 20-round magazines, of which Tyler carries 9, for a total of 180 rounds.


Springfield XDm .357SIG


Tom Brown 'Tracker' knife

Skills: Tyler is and always has been a grunt - a tough, mean Missouri boy with a service record touching on every conflict the United States military has been in (and a few they haven't, officially), stretching back to the invasion of Panama. His only real skills are, first; his hard-nosed tenacity for staying alive, and second; his uncanny penchant for seeing to it that others are unable to say the same. These two traits are the ones that netted him a well-deserved position as the tip of the joint Federal Emergency Measures Agency(F.E.M.A.)/Center for Disease Control (C.D.C.) spear in the drive to contain the deadly and as-of-yet unexplained outbreak.

Appearance: Tyler is a thickly bearded, short-haired man - a little on the stout side. As a member of Ravenwood Tactical Solutions, the private military firm called in by the C.D.C. and F.E.M.A. to neutralize the presence of infected hosts in the southern states, Tyler is clad in the latest and most modular, high-speed, low-drag combat gear available. Reflective amber lensed shooting glasses, Coyote-drab M.O.L.L.E. webbing vest and a level-II ceramic/kevlar ballistic plate are all he needs to get the job done.

Personality: Tyler is cutthroat, tight-lipped, unlettered and cruel, a true 'soldier of fortune'. His only loyalty is to cash - and only insofar as it gets him a few more thrills till the next time around.
