Tyler is the main protagonist of Johnisdead. He and his friends John, Jacob, and Kevin all became embroiled with a dangerous cult known as the Lunar Children since approximately 2009. Since then, various individuals from the Lunar Children have pursued Tyler with the intent of sacrificing him to summon their goddess Luna.

Biography

Tyler grew up in the woods of rural Florida. Nothing is known about Tyler's parents, as they are never referenced in Johnisdead. Tyler mentions that his grandparents both passed away at some point before 2015. He now lives alone in his trailer on their land, which mostly consists of woods. At some point, Tyler became good friends with John, Jacob, and Kevin. While Jacob lived far away from Tyler, both Kevin and John's homes were within walking distance. Tyler often acted as a mediator between John and Kevin, as the two of them often got into fierce religious debates.

At some point, Tyler, John, and Jacob founded the Internet Detectives player group and investigated YSHDT.com - a website that the players were also investigating from six years in the future in 2015. Tyler would often smoke weed with his friend Jacob. In October of 2009, Tyler spoke to Jacob for the last time. Jacob claimed to have a new job that took up all of his time, meaning they could no longer hang out. Shortly after this, Jacob's phone number was changed. At some point, Tyler got into a relationship with Carla, a girl living in Australia who was a member of the Lunar Children - something Tyler was unaware of. Carla later gifted Tyler a crescent moon necklace, which he proceeded to wear constantly.

In early 2010, Tyler recorded videos of John, Kevin, and himself all hanging out. These videos would later be known as Fun night with john and kevin and Fun night with john and kevin 2. According to Tyler, John and Kevin had a big argument about magic shortly after these videos were recorded. Over time, Tyler noticed Kevin taking interest in the necklace Carla gave him. Kevin later stole this necklace - something Tyler accused him of, but could never prove. On Undecim Nocte 2011, John was killed in a house fire as a result of Kevin's ascension within the Lunar Children.

At this point, Tyler was still completely unaware of the Lunar Children's existence. When attempting to learn more about the disappearance of his two friends, the police were unhelpful - sometimes feeding him outright lies. This is because the police and other local authorities were working alongside the Lunar Children to cover up the events of Undecim Nocte. Tyler was told John's death was simply the result of "faulty wiring" and was never informed of any funeral. He was also told that John's parents were currently both out of town, though it is unknown if this is true or not. The police were equally useless in regards to Kevin's disappearance.

At some point, Tyler became a member of the Internet Detectives - a group formed by the players to investigate the strange occurrences surrounding the website YSHDT.com. However, by 2015, Tyler had completely forgotten about YSHDT.com and his involvement with the Internet Detectives due to a case of amnesia spurred on by Patrem. It was around this time that the Lunar Children began actively pursuing Tyler. In order to get Tyler online so that the players could once again begin contacting him, a hacker known as SKM destroyed his hard drive, forcing him to create the YouTube account Silentdork to back up his old videos.

The players began contacting Tyler through the YouTube comment section and were able to get him to join the Internet Detectives Skype group once again. Tyler would then chat with the players over Skype frequently, revealing his history with John, Jacob, and Kevin. One day, Tyler was going to visit Kevin's house, but turned back after spotting Tenebris in town. Following this, the Lunar Children began harassing Tyler further by cutting off his power and leaving strange flyers about moon Goddesses outside his home. Tyler would once again go to the police for help, resulting in Tyler being interrogated and forced to take down his recording of Tenebris.

SKM would attempt to assist Tyler from afar, managing to turn his power back on. The harassment from the Lunar Children only continued to escalate when one member tasked with observing Tyler, Daniel, began throwing objects at Tyler's home and stalking him in his yard. No longer feeling safe in his home, Tyler spent the night in a local motel. He considers moving to Australia to live with Carla around the end of 2015. In June of 2015, the players attempted to warn Tyler about the Lunar Children by fully explaining their Ocarina Powers and showing him the website Johnisdead.com. Unfortunately, Tyler did not believe the players and instead thought they were harassing him regarding John's death. Following this, Tyler cut off contact with the Internet Detectives.

Tyler began experiencing strange dreams relating to the Lunar Children. On August 4th, 2015, Tenebris stole the players' Ocarina powers and gave them to the Lunar Children. The next day, the Lunar Children began using the Ocarina powers to actively harm Tyler, causing fires at his workplace and manifesting large thunderstorms. Once the storms cleared, Tyler decided to visit the remains of John's home. On his way back, Tyler stumbled across the Fishery. He took interest in the Fishery and later returned to it, where he came face to face with Doug. Following this, Tyler became increasingly paranoid and heard constant knocking on the walls of his home.

In October, 2015, Tyler was urged by Johnisdead.com to go to Kevin's abandoned home. While there, Tyler was ambushed by Doug and captured by the Lunar Children, who were planning on sacrificing him on Undecim Nocte, 2015. The Lunar Children tortured Tyler for weeks by locking him a trunk, trapping him in a cooler, and beating him. Tyler was miraculously saved by the players who had narrowly managed to regain their Ocarina powers. Once freed, Tyler immediately booked a trip to Australia.

In Australia, Tyler met up with Carla. However, it was soon revealed that Carla was insanely paranoid, locking Tyler in her home. Tyler managed to briefly contact the players through Carla's Skype account, but he was cut off when Kevin, now going by his Lunar Children title Regiminis, traveled through the internet and confronted them. While Tyler managed to escape Regiminis, Carla was never heard from again. Back in Florida, Tyler now lived in constant paranoia, as it seemed Tenebris was now constantly haunting him. In June of 2016, Tyler was involved in some sort of accident, resulting in him falling into a coma.

Tyler trapped within the parallelos.

Tyler finally awoke from his coma in January, 2017. Though his amnesia was now worse than ever, he slowly began piecing together the history of the Lunar Children by asking around town and checking out local libraries. During his investigations, he met José - an archivist who had discovered the Lunar Children servers. In April, 2017, Tyler discovered a strange Detour Sign in his yard that would randomly teleport him when touched. Tyler began experimenting with the Detour Sign. During one of these experiments, Tyler was teleported to a nearby hiking trail where he met Greth - another individual who has had strange experiences with the Lunar Children.

Tyler and Greth began sharing their discoveries with one another. However, one year later in April, 2018, Tyler was attacked by Greth, who was now controlled by Patrem. Tyler managed to escape by utilizing the Detour Sign. Unfortunately, this trapped him within the Parallelos - a strange dimension that does not follow the rules of space and time.
