Tyler Schneider, or just Sigma.
Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist
Paint and Canva
Tyler was born into a Nazi family. His older brother grew up under the far-right doctrines of the Reich, but his art teacher influenced most of his worldview. He was an outgoing and dreamy person.
He had his first love with Ansel Goldmann, a Jehovah’s Witness, from 1933 to 1935. Ansel ensured young Tyler was protected from the political atmosphere, including covering the ugliness of persecution. After his arrest, Tyler realised the awful truths - since then, his art style has become more emotional and impressionistic. He was accepted into Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1935.
“Sigma”
Career as Freelance Artist
Sigma was Tyler’s pseudonym as an artist. He had a successful career and held personal exhibitions, with experts acknowledging his talent and potential. He was in a relationship with a sculpture student Lia Toussaint from 1937 to 1939.
World War II
He met the Resistance soldier Jacques in 1940 and was instantly attracted. However, he chose to leave Jacques for safety in 1941 and joined the Nazis in order to use their privileges to keep an eye on him. In late 1943, he saved Jacques from interrogation after his railway sabotage activity was discovered. Since then, Sigma collaborated with the Allies and Resistance, but was killed in the final battle of Paris on 25 Aug 1944 - he did not get to see the Liberation.
Sigma has beautiful hair: waist-length, wavy and Nordic blonde. He has fair skin, icy blue eyes, and a relatively androgynous overall appearance. He has a rather tall figure of around 6 feet. He wears Chanel perfume most of the time, as well as a pair of silver hoop earrings.
He enjoys meeting new people and making connections; This is pretty much necessary for him to promote his artworks and exhibitions. He met both Lia and Jacques in pubs. He often goes to jazz bars on lonely nights. Inspiration mainly comes from interactions and human emotions for him, and he is willing to spend time exploring and engaging with this nature.
Sigma is a heavy smoker. Smoking reduced his stress from being separated with his lover both in 1935 and 1941 - up to two packs of cigarettes per day. He also has a collection of tobacco pipes.
