Upon meeting Ty, people wonder about his nickname 'Tycerium'. Back when Ty was in junior high school, Dungeons and Dragons was all the rage. When Ty gave it a try, he needed to name his character. The players he knew had used names from Romeo and Juliet. Ty decided to make up a name by loosely combining names from that play, and came up with 'Tycerium'. Ty decided to take on 'Tycerium' as a nickname for himself. Upon entering college, he started introducing himself as Tycerium, and he still uses it today. Some people think Tycerium is an element.
