(So one of my reviewers said I should explain a bit of back-story to Tyler and how he became mayor, so this will be good for me as an OC maker, and the readers as people who really wanted to read this.)
You may think that Tyler is another one of those "just moved-in, hey you're mayor" mayors, but Tyler is a special case. He actually was a neighbor of one of his friends who was already mayor. His name was Andrew, and they were, to bluntly put, best friends till the end. They went to the island together, fished together, paid for public works projects together, and literally paid half and half on Nooks Loans!
But sadly, all good things had to come to an end. Andrew said he was moving out to a different town to be closer to family. Tyler was shocked and a bit sad. Well why wouldn't he be? His best friend was leaving! But just before Andrew left, he said to Tyler, "Buddy, we've been friends forever, and so I talked to Isabelle, and now you're the mayor of Barona." Tyler couldn't believe it, he was the mayor of a town!
So Tyler tried his best to make this town more amazing than you think...well, sort of. There were a couple of slip-ups along the way, but he managed to work around them. He never stopped thinking about what Andrew would do and wondered how Andrew was doing. All Andrew ever wanted was to make a peaceful town where everyone who lived and visited would have a nice day and plenty to do.
So now that we have how he became mayor out of the way, what did he do before?
Well, he paid loans for his house, fished for a living, and dug up ores for the museum so that Andrew could focus on mayoral duties. All in all, and eventful lifestyle.
(Background story, check. Thankfully next chapter will finally get to the romance/shipping which I promised.)
