So, I was looking for something like this to bother you about the origins of your nickname.
But ended up finding this!
Tycho Brahe
Jerry Holkins' comic alter ego (named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe) is bitter and sarcastic. Almost invariably clad in a blue-striped shirt, Tycho enjoys books, RPGs, unnecessarily large words and deflating Gabe's ego. According to Tycho, "Some people play tennis, I erode the human soul." He used to work as a telemarketer, because he hates to think that there's someone happier than he is. He was so good at telemarketing, they still have Tycho Tuesdays in his honor ("you can wear jeans"). He is a rabid fan of Harry Potter. He also often plays Dungeons & Dragons (the website's banner illustrates him holding a d20 die). Though extremely intelligent, he has on several occasions made reference to his scarring childhood in which his mother physically abused him and blamed him for his father's leaving due to his body's being "swollen with evil" (in fact, puberty), as well as his parents taking him on a family road trip to such places as Idaho's largest shitfarm. He shows some animosity toward his brother, noting that "You might recall that Cain and Abel were brothers." It has been mentioned that one of his aunts, believing him to be gay, constantly sends him homoerotic material. Tycho also has a problem with alcohol addiction. He is noted for having "A judo grip on English". Due to his body harboring a "dark spectre from the world of dreams" his eyes turn red when he is particularly annoyed. He has also displayed sexual attraction towards giraffes and ostriches. Tycho also owns a Zune, and claims to be the "only living organism in the universe without an iPod."
In Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, he is the founder of the Startling Developments detective agency, formerly a doctor of Apocalyptic Studies. His Tommy gun (and in Episode 2, shotgun) does the most damage, but he is the slowest and least durable playable character.
