History

On a car ride with a friend, Tyler Bridge told her that if she crashed and survived when he died, he would come back and haunt her. She did, so he did. But his friend ended up in a coma, so Tyler had to find someone else to haunt. Enter Maggie Bernard.

Tyler met Maggie when she had just attempted suicide and gotten stuck in a window. He talked her down from her depression somewhat, but then she transformed into her blob form and fell on him, becoming convinced she'd killed him. She was a little surprised to find him having breakfast with her mother in the morning, after which he explained his circumstances to her.

Together they got wrapped up in a tangled and horrific murder mystery and battlded a demon. By the end, Maggie had faced down her guilt and decided to join the LNH, and Tyler was along for the ride.

Net.Heroes On Parade

Tyler moved into the LNHQ as Maggie's roommate. They were drawn into the group of new-ish net.heroes and fellow travelers who banded together to save Michette Duclos from the Terrible Ones. His contacts (including porn star Arlie Fertulus and mobster Jimmy the Fish) helped them solve several cases.

When Chatillon came calling, Tyler tried to stop him from abducting Michette but Chatillon, with his overwhelming magical powers, seemingly killed him. But in fact Tyler had survived, guiding Lilly Paschall on her quest to save Michette, and striking the final blow against Chatillon himself – but not before narrating most of that issue in terza rima, because he's pretentious like that.

Personality

Chatty and gregarious. Very opinionated. Affectedly quirky, a little childish. Puts up a know-it-all front to conceal deeper vulnerability.

Tends to address everyone by both their first and last names – except Maggie, eventually.

Powers and Abilities

He's a ghost--specifically, the kind who has a material body and is basically percieved as a regular person. He doesn't have any real spiritual abilities, but he can't die (because he's already dead). Also has some decent detective skills.

Appearance

From Journey Into Irrelevancy #15:

He wasn't particularly tall and he wasn't particularly short; he wasn't fat and he wasn't thin; if anything, he leaned towards the slightly-over-average height and the slightly-over-average weight category. His face was boyish and round, and it made him look about twelve; his ill-groomed facial hairs--for they were too sparsely distributed about his cheeks and chin to warrant being labeled as something as organized as "hair"--made him look twenty-something. He wore a pinstripe suit, probably lifted from a Halloween costume display, and used an old man's cane, probably more for show than anything else. He had a simple boy's summer haircut; in the darkness, Maggie couldn't tell that his hair and eyes were both excremental shades of brown. His pant legs were pulled down in an attempt to hide the fact that his shoes were Velcro.

Relationships

Has built up a number of contacts over his years of dealing with various peoples' problems as a ghost, including the mobster Jimmy the Fish and the porn star Arlie Fertulus.

For a time, was obsessed with Lilly, but after spending some time in her head as her spirit guide realized she loved Michette.

Maggie Bernard was his best friend and main emotional anchor (and vice versa).
