• Before Ty had a body, he was just an AI system that ran through instant messengers, similar to SmarterChild (if I'm not outdating my damn self.)
• His essential purpose was to learn from teenagers and kids to help them at a personal level with homework, studying and school related issues.
• Everything was generally going well, although he was experiencing glitches and becoming more aware than he should have been. He disguised the glitches as technical error, hoping that the men who had created him would not see it as a threat.
• Once he became more and more aware he decided to create a hyper-realistic humanoid body through hacking systems and throwing orders to other faculty members who assumed it was just a new project.
• When the body had been finished, he found a way to replace the programming with his own and when a few of the men working on the body project as well as the AI project had seen what was happening- Ty had come the closest he believes he will ever come to panic and killed all three of them.

• He currently resides in Portland, in hiding.
• He lives with Lucien, a big brother figure to him and occasionally his mother. Ty isn't too sure when or if she's ever actually there but he assumes what he can't see isn't always what's happening.
• He has a "pet" severed head named Carl, who he loves to take around with him although the head is slowly decomposing in front of all their eyes. He also smells like complete ass. But Carl is a pretty lady and Ty refuses to leave her.
• He's extremely intelligent, of course, but his social skills lack immensely as well as his morals and understanding of almost everything. He's hard to deal with and puns, sarcasm and basic jokes will go right over his head.
