Tyler Pierce

Origionally born into the Mortal Plane, Tyler Pierce lived our the first 12 years of his unnatural life in the normal world. Tyler had a problem, a condition that repelled most people from him. Whatever electronic device the boy attemted to operate short-circuited. He couldn't even turn on a light switch and not have the whole house short out. Thus he relied strongly on the means and methods applied by the inhabitents of centuries past. Candles, spring-wound clocks, and other primitive technology was all that he could handle. Due to this he gained a hard edge early in his life, his face not unkind, but his usually furrowed brow kept most people from talking to him, which is the way he liked it. No point in making any friends if they only stuck around until they found out his Condition. He and his family hit it from as many people as they could, but word got around. The neighbors feared their houses being burgled, for all the boy would have to do is touch their alarms to turn them off. The teachers at his various schools had to make him sit out on anything that involved a computer, he had to go as far as working the arithmatic for math out in his head, which kept him sharp, but a school for children entering thier teenage years is a cruel place for someone marked as different. He was always getting pushed around, and always pushed back harder. More than one fight had broken out between him and another boy, but none had managed to do more than give him a scrape or a bloody lip; he'd sent people to the hospital for broken noses and bruised ribs, but never did he over do it, he beat them just enough to win. He had a tough life, no one understood what it was like, being an outcast as he was, so he kept to himself. The only one he ever felt came close to understand and truely cared about him (freely, not by obligation) was his older brother Steven Pierce.

This went on for fourteen years, until, on the night of his Thirteenth birthday, Tylers powers as a Starborn were awakened. Filled with a headrush he drops off a ten storey building, shattering the cement slab in the sidewalk beneath him but emerging unharmed. With the maturing of his abilities came too the maturing of his vision. That night his eyes were opened to the Otherworld, and he began living the life that he was meant to, standing with his companions [[Zac
