This choice: Tyler , The little 5 foot Purple dragon who owns a Game shop • Go Back...Chapter #2Tyler , The little 5 foot Purple dragon who own... by: Dragonien   Tyler Matthews is a runt. There can be no other word that describes so simply and wholly what this purple-skinned dragon is. Standing at 5’1” at age 20 he is absolutely dwarfed by his older brother, David, a 7’3” behemoth. Tyler is overshadowed by his brother not only in height, but also in proportional body mass. Being a “runt” his whole life suppressed any urges Tyler had to partake in sports, and as he got older he felt no need to work out excessively, unlike his brother. Thus, Tyler retained a rather lean figure, even having a slight paunch of a belly that barely obscures his abs.
Although Tyler lacks the physical size, strength and prowess of his football-playing older brother, he makes up for it with his intellect. Aside from spending his free time reading and playing video games, Tyler is a more than competent student at the local university, which his brother also attends. These two dragons live together in a small house near the university, where their “brotherly love” is constantly put to the test. Growing up, Tyler had to deal with constant teasing and playful bullying from his older brother. And while David never has never truly hurt or humiliated Tyler excessively, the purple drake still wishes he could somehow get the best of his older brother.
More recently Tyler has come into ownership of a small hobby and game store, which he runs on his own to sell tabletop gaming products, trading cards, and comic books to the neighborhood. His minor success in the business has awarded him a few luxuries and some extra cash flow, something that allows him to exercise a certain amount of control over his older brother. On multiple occasions Tyler has found himself – rather smugly – looking down at his older brother when the cobalt drake has come asking for cash to take out one of his latest girlfriends. While being forthcoming and generous with his extra cash Tyler is not shy about asking his older brother to return the favor, a practice which often puts David in the very rare position of doing something humiliating at his brother’s request. In this manner, Tyler takes advantage of his brother’s weakness for wining and dining various gorgeous females, and has renewed the fire of competition between himself and his brother. Because although Tyler is often able to manipulate his brother into doing humiliating things – such as portraying a comic book or D&D character in front of Tyler’s shop – David has begun to eagerly and viciously “wage war” to get a little revenge on his younger brother.
And thus is the state of David and Tyler’s fraternal relationship. While Tyler exercises a keen wit and the occasional bribe to keep his brother at bay, he often has to endure physical torment at the hands of his stronger older brother. Tyler’s learned to enter and exit the house with stealth, and often keeps his door locked to avoid any extra harassment from his brother. Despite the volatile nature of their relationship, Tyler still has affection for his older brother, and recognizes that David, too, is showing affection in his own way. Tyler’s greatest pastime is to continually search for ways to outsmart his smug older brother, tiring as it may be for him to do so. And when he sleeps, Tyler dreams of being able to best his brother in an outright physical confrontation, rather than being wrestled and teased on a near-daily basis…
