Bryce Tankthrust

Bryce Tankthrust is the second antagonist and mastermind of the videos created by Brandon Rogers on his YouTube channel and is known for her evil antics. She has been described as a killer, a leader, a fighter, and a lover. She is married to her childhood friend Bobby Worst. Bryce Tankthrust was born sometime in the 1960s- 1970s to her mother Tammy Tankthrust, a con artist who specialized in pickpocketing. Throughout her childhood Bryce was subjected to participate in her mother's criminal activity, usually collaborating with her on the Double Diva Diversion, a move where Tammy would distract their target while Bryce stole whatever valuables they were after. When Bryce was 10 years old, she met Bobby Best, a classmate of hers who was heavily bullied by the other children at school. She stood up for him and the two of them became friends, spending most of their time together. While she initially saved him for her own sense of validation, the two of them fell in love. As an act of devotion, Bryce cut out her heart and tries giving it to Bobby, which is interrupted by a fight between Abraham Lincoln & Adolf Hitler. After witnessing Bobby's father disown him after Bobby's attempts to prove himself by killing Hitler, Bryce assures him he doesn't him, much as she thinks she doesn't need her heart. However, without her heart, she begins to slowly die. Bryce and Bobby go to Tammy to ask for help, only for her to get Bobby sent away to foster care before taking Bryce to get a new but very weak heart implanted by a mortician. After this, Bryce is taken out of school in order to help her mom pickpocket full-time. At age twenty, after spending the last ten years doing nothing but help her mother further her low-level cons, Bryce met Donovan while she and Tammy looted his house. After giving Donovan her phone number in a panic, the two of them go out and Bryce falls head over heels for him. She started getting distracted when pickpocketing with her mother, as she spends all night with Donovan and started falling asleep during the day. After dating for a while, Donovan started to bring Bryce around with him to his workplace. She quickly picked up on strategies on how to get by in the corporate world and the idea of making money legitimately started to interest her. Bryce decided to come clean to Donovan about how they first met and who she really was. She took him to a cliff overlooking the city and gave him a sentimental photograph that her mother stole from him the night they met. He was understandably very angry with her for lying about her identity and the two of them began to argue. In the heat of the fight Bryce threw the photograph at his feet, which Donovan proceeds to slip on and falls off the cliff to his death. Bryce is heartbroken and goes home to ask her mother for help and to try to convince her to pursue a life without crime. Tammy completely disregards her daughter and professes that they only thing that was wrong with their lives was that Bryce went behind her back and dated Donovan. Tammy gets arrested before the two of them can resolve the argument, leaving Bryce to fend for herself. Once Tammy was imprisoned, Bryce decided to take Donovan's old job and try to make money honestly and ethically, therefore proving her mother wrong. Unfortunately, working in Donovan's old position was not the perfect corporate step ladder that Bryce had been hoping for. Her first paycheck was a measly 40 dollars, and when she fought back against it she was met with sexism. An increasingly desperate Bryce with a heart now failing under all the stress met Gloria Goopty, another woman working at her company who happened to be a genius engineer. Gloria offered to build Bryce a new mechanical heart and Bryce considered it before being told that she couldn't afford to keep her home and was being evicted. Bryce went to her mother for help, but Tammy just told her that all she ever did to make money was using another person to help her do the Double Diva Diversion. Bryce, both unwilling to get another person involved or rely on anyone else, refuses the idea. Bryce, unable to get through a day at work without pain, accepts a new mechanical prototype heart from Gloria. After receiving the heart, Bryce and Bobby, now working for Bryce's boss's wife, are reunited. Bryce asked Bobby if he could help her financially. While he couldn't help her himself, he gave her the idea of figuring out a way of performing the Double Diva Diversion withoutanother person. Bryce went back to Gloria and asked her to build her a robot version of Donovan, under the guise of missing him too much and wanting to access an inheritance that he left her that she would only receive if a 'capable enough sexbot in his image could be created'. Gloria agreed and Bryce began to use the new Donovan to aid her in thievery. He questions why she is teaching him to steal when she made a promise to herself to only make money ethically. Bryce argues that the odds are against her right now, and its okay to break the rules a little bit when the ends justify the means. She then asked Donovan to hack into the company accountant's computer to get her salary bumped up enough to pay her rent. However, when Donovan performs the task, things go south quickly and he ends up killing the accountant. Gloria sees them getting rid of the body and runs off to report Bryce to their bosses, but Bryce follows her and is able to keep her job by exposing Gloria's ulterior uses of company funds, such as creating her own robot son. Donovan was killed again in the crossfire of the conflict, so Bryce gives him her new mechanical heart. Donovan is able to revive her, however, using the heart of the man that they killed. Bryce meets up with Bobby at the arcade again, lamenting to him that every time she tries to take steps in leading a decent life, it just leads her two steps back. Bobby tells her that there are two types of people in the world- those who follow the system, and those who con it, and he believes Tammy Tankthrust was a genius. Bryce tells him that she isn't her mother, but Bobby says that no, she's better. She's more capable, and she knows how to hide a body. He tells Bryce that her potential as a criminal mastermind is being wasted, and Bryce considers this. When she goes back home with Donovan she finds her house being vandalized with 'POOR" signs by the bank. Donovan tells her that her idea of being a good person was not going to help them any longer. Bryce finally gives up on being good, brutally murdering the woman who came to take her home and signalling her change by beginning to wear her signature red coloured clothes. She tells Donovan the have a new objective - eliminate all obstacles that get in the way of what she wants. Bryce starts by killing both hers and Bobby's bosses, ordering them to leave the company in her name and allowing her to effectively become CEO of Callco. She rebrands the company to Tankthrust Tellies and becomes the face of the product as well as its leader, upgrading her office, home, and personal style all in the next decade. By the time its 1990 Bryce is on top of the world, richer than she's ever been, and has everything she could ever want. However, Bryce's mother warns her that nothing is permanent, and its only a matter of time before Bryce's heart buckles under the pressure of trying to run a business, something that Tammy doesn't even believe her daughter is capable of doing. And indeed it seems like she might be right, as the market is starting to catch up, and new kinds of phones and even businesswomen are popping up. Sure enough, almost as soon as the clock strikes 12 on the new year and an ad for another new kind of phone is shown on TV, Bryce has a cardiac arrest, leaving Bobby and Donovan to go out and kill someone to get Bryce a new heart. When the Double Diva Diversion doesn't work for them, Bobby goes out on his own and massacres a whole party, bringing Bryce back a freezer of hearts for whenever she needed a new one. Bryce is approached by a shady group of businessmen who call themselves the Board who offer her the change to 'take her business to the top.' While she originally refuses, they point out that her phones are the oldest ones on the market, and with their help she will be able to circumnavigate the treacherous world of retail. She goes to meet them and they tell her that they would like to invest in her, as long as she gives them half of her company. She gets up to leave but on her way out, they tell her she'll make more money working with them than if her company stayed private for ten lifetimes. She agrees to think about it, but at that point, she still had options. She tracks down Gloria and asks her to make her a more high tech, modern version phone for her to sell. Gloria refuses, pointing out that she weaponized the last thing that she built for her, and tells her to get out. Bryce apologizes, expressing her regret in for betraying her and not recognizing that Gloria was just as much of a bad bitch as she is. Gloria forgives her and the two of them hug it out, becoming friends again. However, Bryce still goes back to the Board, agreeing to work with them. She signs a contract to hand over half her company to them and they proceed to make her more money than she could have ever dreamed of before, all while she slowly lost pieces of her heart and soul with each new product she endorsed. By the mid 90s, Tammy Tankthrust is released from prison and is brought back to Bryce's mansion, where she is given 20,000 dollars and told to 'kindly fuck off' by her daughter. However, Bryce apologizes to her, expressing that she is the way that she is because of Tammy and she never appreciated her mothers intelligence. The two of them are able to make up, and they along with Gloria form a contingency plan for when the Board inevitably screwed Bryce over. Bryce soon began to clone Elmers to source her hearts 'ethically'. After multiple decades of using the Elmers for hearts, she is thwarted in part by Sam and Donna, before being kidnapped and held by the Society of Elmers for an unknown amount of time. After she was released, she starts to source her hearts from British orphans until she and Queen Elizabeth ll get into a spat, and she runs for president with Bobby's help to prove to her that she isn't just a lowly CEO. However, she is ousted after one term and causes the January 6th insurrection as a result. When Bobby is kidnapped by the queen, Bryce and Donovan team up with Lord and Lady Mingeworthy to break into Buckingham palace to save him. After Bryce defeats Queen Elizabeth, she and Bobby get married. At about this point in time, Bryce also grows her own heart, resulting in her not needing to outsource and murder to keep herself alive. The Board begins to see her as soft as a result of this, causing them to call her before them, planning on terminating her contract since she'd lost the 'heartless quality' that had enamoured them to her in the first place. Bryce attends the meeting but switches places with a robot version of herself that Gloria built for her, allowing them to sit back and enjoy the show while Bobby and her mother flood the room with potassium chloride that kills the entire Board, effectively executing a Triple Diva Diversion. Now having taken back full control of her assets, Bryce is more powerful than she's ever been in her life. She tells the media she's planning on taking some time off with those closest to her. In secret, she and Gloria finish building an army of Donobots.
