[edit] Personality
Tycho is a man who is fond of long words and creating his very own. He is usually unhappy or displeased with Johnathan Gabriel's ideas and lack of intelligence, and longs to find someone who matches him in debating and reading. Tycho tends to think plans through and always has an explanation for even the most irrational plans.
Tycho is most often seen in the strip sporting a blue sweater with two light blue stripes on it, the highest stripe being larger than the bottom one.
He is an extreme Harry Potter fan, and always fantasises what life would be like if he was friends with Harry and Ron and the magical adventures they would share.
According to Tycho, he used to be whipped by his mother with an extension cord. Not only that, but his mother fed him lies about puberty and that the changes caused due to the idea that God had abandoned him. She said Satan was responsible, and that he was a toxic vessel. Tycho's mother also said that his father left as he was going through the changes; because his body was swollen with evil. This shocked Gabe to an unbelievable level; it is likely that this abuse is responsible for Brahe's current antagonistic relationship with religion in general.
He owns his very own corn mask to hide within the race of diabolical Corn Men. This was discovered when Gabe spotted the corn on his face and solved the entire mystery.
He has a very fragile mind. He believes that either witches or dogs are after him and has constructed a remote to send them away. However, if both a witch and a dog attack him at the same time, he is doomed.
Tycho has an obsession with his next door neighbour. He conveniently placed a telescope facing her window and watches her quite a lot. She threw out a hairbrush and he stole it, then began petting it like a cat.
He owns his very own harem of Robot Sex Slaves which he got after recieving money from Atari to review Driv3r. He does not feel guilty about this at all.
Tycho owns his very own Dungeons and Dragons styled cookbook to help him make the greatest sandwiches known. He rolls in the twenties and can successfully make the sexiest sandwich in the history of the universe.
He found a jewel smuggling ring being operated in a haunted amusement park. He figured out that it wasn't haunted at all, and that it was actually old man Sawyer dressed as a ghost. He got a new friend, Mahakala, the tiki statue.
He is an alcoholic; evidently, he cultivated this addiction as a form of slow suicide, hoping that his loved ones would talk him out of it. As of yet, no one cares.
He did not know that King Kong died at the end of the seventy year old film, much to the annoyance of Gabe. He was gutted that the movie was ruined for him.
Tycho apparently has a fascination and a love for Giraffes. He says their necks are "so slender." He even has a Giraffe video on his computer, possibly involving beastiality. He thought he was found out when Brenna mentioned it, but she was talking about his poetry.
He has a degree in pig waxing for no reasons unknown, although there was a chance to use that degree when Gabe needed a pig to be waxed.
Tycho lives on to the year 8000 as a robotic octopus with Gabe. The alien rule was possibly caused when aliens attacked the Earth as both he and Gabe discussed EA and MARVEL joining forces for new characters.
In perhaps his greatest moment, Tycho warned Gabe not to talk about Warhammer Online when he went into a long speech about commiting suicide, taking over Hell and then coming back to burn Gabe to death. This frightened Gabe so much that he started to cry.
[edit] Jobs
Back in the day, Tycho used to work for a telemarketing place as he hates other people and hates to think that they might be happy. He wanted to ruin their day by asking if they wanted some magazines. Soon, Tycho Tuesdays were invented as a recurring holiday within the area of jobs as he was a legend.
He worked as a hot dog vendor for the day to try and get John Romero to create his game already.
To help Gabe, he dressed himself up in an elf costume to go along with Gabe's Santa suit.
He became a modern-day prophet after figuring out that Electronic Arts was way over its head with Marvel Nemesis. He proved himself by saying he foresaw the colorful bracelets, then said that chocolate turkeys would be next.
Tycho was hired to write a thirteen book cycle of fantasy entitled Epic Legends of the Hierarchs: The Elemenstor Saga. It made him incredibly rich and gave him several fans.
Tycho is also currently the host of the comic strip's late night TV show, "Too Damn Late with Tycho Brahe." He discusses several "important topics and issues" on the show.
[edit] ELotH:TES
Tycho once wrote a book series entitled Epic Legends of the Hierarchs: The Elemenstor Saga, which became a phenomenal success. He gained many fans thanks to the books, but was soon copied by another book series, The Song of the Sorcelator.
