Tyree Bush-Kendrick

Tyree Bush-Kendrick is an Army brat. Well more specifically he is a son of an engineer employed by the United States Air Force. Tyree's mom was not in the picture. His father, Samuel, was away in his developmental years.

A lot.

Tyree kid spent his time skateboarding and getting into trouble around the base. Each time more and more pressure was put upon his father by superior officers who were displeased with his boy's behavior.

And so, what would usually end up happening would be that his father would be reassigned. And they would have to move. Time and time again, Tyree recalls packing up his materials until finally he pared everything down to a single backpack. It was easier that way. Thankfully, the Air Force never fired his father; whatever he did for them was far too important.

Eventually, though, enough was enough. In order to toughen him up a bit and teach some discipline, Tyree's father put him into a boot camp program that met on the base... the kind for troubled youth from the nearby communities. It straightened him out. It also gave him purpose and a desire to actually join the armed forces. He wants to make his father proud now.

Strange things began happening at the base though just before his father was transferred to Arkham. His dad was still gone for long hours and was stressed out working on projects that he could not discuss. One afternoon even, a soldier lost his temper in a card game and really hurt some of his friends. He did things to the other troops that no one should be able to do... And everyone cleaned it up and looked the other way.

Mere days later, his father was reassigned to Arkham, Massachusetts.

Tyree wants to know why, though. He knows that there was something going on. Things are stressful around the house now, worse than ever. He actually enjoys school because it gets him out of the house.

He's not the smartest kid in the world. He's not exactly a jock, either, although he could hold his own; unfortunately the only thing the bases ever had was baseball - nothing that would actually bring about significant physical contact of any kind. He's a bit socially awkward, but a lot of that stems from moving too many times. He'd really just like to fit in and stop being the "new kid" every where he goes. He really wishes his hair would grow out just a bit, but with the short military style that he was forced to maintain and a mixed heritage (a white mother and a black father), his hair just doesn't grow as quickly as he'd like - or in the ways he'd like.
