TJ

TJ (last name unknown) is a rogue detective and the playable character in Cyberham 2092. Originally working for the IBSS, TJ was working on a case dealing with an illegal organization known as the Hidden Eyes, who were building a superweapon to eliminate what they considered the "weak" people in society. When TJ got a strong lead and was about to hit his breakthrough, he was wrongfully fired from the IBSS, who claimed that his work was inadequate and his case was a dead end. TJ knew something was going on, and continued his investigation in the shadows, instead working with illegal underground businesses he once worked to find and eliminate.

Before the events of Cyberham 2092
TJ was born in 2065 in the great Lucid City, where he's stayed his whole life. From a young age, TJ was an analytical person, always looking at the finite, harder-to-see details. This naturally led him to become a detective when he was 19, working for the Lucid City Police Department and later a private security organization called the IBSS, run by Captain Mitchell. TJ was proven to be a skilled detective, and solved cases faster than most. One day in 2092, TJ stumbled across a big lead: inside information on a secret organization called the Hidden Eyes. TJ uncovered the construction of a superweapon that, when used, would kill what the Hidden Eyes considered "the weak members of society." TJ decided to pursue this lead further, and worked for 4 months to find information and connections. He was about to make a big stride in uncovering this organization when he was wrongfully terminated from the IBSS. They claimed that TJ's detective work was "inadequate" and that his case was "going nowhere." The timing of his termination and the scrapping of his important case made TJ suspicious. He decided to continue his investigation separate from the IBSS, even if it meant turning to the dark side of the law.

During Cyberham 2092
TJ continued his investigation on his own. However, the issue that TJ was facing was his lack of resources to find out more about the Hidden Eyes, and ultimately eliminate them. He continued to investigate his case with what he had, but couldn't get very far. He was then contacted by a mystery person, who later turned out to be Caldwell. Caldwell claimed that he had "connections," and that's how he found TJ. He stated, "My associates and I have leads. The means to find and destroy the Hidden Eyes. All we need is someone who can put this information to use. Just be prepared to work on the other side of the law." Caldwell told TJ to meet him in an alley, and they traveled to the Safehouse, where TJ met Julio and Leah. Julio gave TJ the information he needed to know, in exchange for a pledge to help him and his associates. TJ agreed, and studied his information. He ultimately deduced that the leader of the IBSS, Captain Mitchell, had connections with the Hidden Eyes. Julio sends TJ on a mission to retrieve a special explosive known as Compound 66 from one of his connections. When TJ gets the explosive and brings it back to Julio, he discovers that the team was captured by the IBSS, and that they placed an arrest warrant on TJ too.

Upon learning that his team was detained, TJ devises a plan to use the Compound 66 to break into the IBSS Holding Facility, bust his new friends out from the prison, and find Captain Mitchell. Armed with new weapons from the Safehouse, he fought his way through the Facility and released his associates. He armed them with guns and they fought through the Facility to Captain Mitchell's office. When they interrogated Captain Mitchell, he refused to give up information and instead shot at TJ and his team. They returned fire and engaged in a firefight with Captain Mitchell. TJ landed a shot on Mitchell's knee, which injured him critically. As Mitchell reached for his gun he dropped, TJ kicked it away from him and aimed the barrel of his gun at Mitchell's head. Mitchell pleaded for his life, saying that if TJ joined him and the Hidden Eyes, he would have everything he ever wanted. TJ held his ground, responding with "The only thing I want right now, is a bullet in your head." TJ then shot Mitchell, and searched his office for anything about the Hidden Eyes. Leah finds a gold mine of information on Mitchell's computer, and uncovers that the leader of the Hidden Eyes is none other than the General of the Military: General Sarge. While the team is in Mitchell's office, they wipe their fugitive status off the IBSS and LCPD database.

TJ and his team return to the Safehouse and plan to attack the Atlas Tower, the government building where General Sarge's office is. The members of the gang each send TJ to get materials: Julio sends him to get more Compound 66 explosives, Leah sends him to get an ACMP (Atlas-Configured Microprocessor), and Caldwell sends him to get a minigun called "The Bag." When the materials were gathered, and the plan was complete, the team infiltrated the Atlas Tower via helicopter.

The team fought through floors upon floors of Cybermilitary Soldiers, and reached Sarge's office at last. Upon confronting Sarge, he says, "I suppose you're here to kill me. You could strike me down right here if you wanted. At least... in my current form." Sarge injected himself with a serum that made him superhuman. When TJ and his team defeat Sarge, he rises back up with a corrupted face, stating that "you can't kill the Lord of Hell." His corruption slowly grows, until Sarge becomes a full-on demon, the Hell Lord. Upon defeating Sarge's final form, TJ confronts Sarge laying on the ground, mortally wounded. Sarge says, in a faint voice, "If I'm going down, then Caldwell and his implanted brain chip will finish you off." Sarge pulls out a button and pushes it before TJ could put a round in his head. The team turns to Caldwell, who is sweating profusely, when he drops to the ground. The team slowly backs up as Caldwell grows in size, until he jumps up and says, "I'm sorry to do this, but I can't stop it. Kill me if you must." Caldwell turns hostile against his will, and impales Julio and Leah with spears, leaving them fatally wounded. TJ does his best to talk Caldwell into calming down, but it's proven impossible. TJ puts up a fight against his former friend, but he gets overpowered when Caldwell stabs him in the shoulder. It seems like the fight is over, however, TJ has one last trick up his sleeve: he makes a radio call to the helicopter pilot, Cheese, calling for the minigun. The Bag comes flying through the window, and TJ picks it up despite his injuries. He sprays it at a charging Caldwell, as a last-ditch attempt to stop this killing machine. As Caldwell gets riddled with bullets from TJ, he slows down, until he drops dead. TJ runs to Julio, who was dead on impact of the spear. He hears Leah crawling towards him, and he runs over to her. Leah tells TJ that Sarge is defeated, and that the Hidden Eyes will fall apart without a leader. Her final words are, "We did it, TJ. We did it," before she dies in TJ's arms. TJ makes a call to the helicopter signaling the escape. As the Cybermilitary runs into Sarge's office, TJ fake surrenders before jumping out the window, and falls into a net held out by a trio of helicopters, who fly him to safety.

After the government investigates Sarge's murder, they find out what Sarge did, and learn about the Hidden Eyes organization. Six months down the line, TJ is thriving as the founding member of a new private security agency. His experience in detective work and uncovering the world's most deadly mystery qualified him to become head of the company. TJ's assistant comes in and tells him that there's a job waiting for him outside, and TJ gets up, grabs his denim jacket, and says "let's get it done" as the camera fades to black.

Personality and Characteristics
TJ is a calm and mild-mannered, yet strikingly analytical person. He can keep his cool in danger, even if he's staring Death in the face. TJ can look at anyone or anything, and analyze them head to toe. Whenever TJ goes into anything, he needs to know as much about it as he can; he likes to plan ahead and know what he's getting into.

Clothes and Weapons
Before the events of Cyberham 2092, TJ wore an IBSS detective uniform and didn't have his censor bar covering his eyes. After his termination, and during the events of Cyberham 2092, TJ wears a black hoodie with a light blue denim jacket over it, ripped black jeans, and white sneakers. He also dons the signature censor bar to preserve his anonymity.
