.Character Background:
Likes:
Reading: Toris is an avid reader, he prefers the classics, and he absolutely adores fairy tales. There's just something about the girl getting the guy at the end (or perhaps not in a good portion of the cases) that makes Toris just want more. He isn't much of a fan of non-fiction, though he will read it when he needs to. His favorite book happens to be A Tale of Two Cities[/u] by Charles Dickens.
Writing: Toris also likes writing, he has a journal he keeps close by and writes in all the time. He also writes letters the size of probably a small paperback book to his mother every week just to tell her how he's doing, and how school's been treating him. He also writes down whatever thoughts he has in the forms of stories. He keeps them to himself though.
Quietness: While he likes talking with people and everything, he likes having some quiet-time. It's why his favorite place is the library, or perhaps even where he's staying at the time. Anytime where he can just sit, rub his head, and do some homework or read a book without getting anyone yelling in his ears for no reason (other than you know he's there) that in itself would make his day.
His violin: When he was younger, he was given a choice in what he wanted to do, he could play the violin or learn the piano. He picked the violin and he took lessons from his mother who taught him how to play. He took orchestra all through secondary school and he plans to take it here as well.
Dislikes:
Being properly alone: When Toris was a kid, he didn't have many friends, and the few he did have lived far away, so he was almost always alone. His family didn't spend much time with him so he was alone a lot...and he always felt incredibly lonely and he doesn't like being that way.
Intimidating people: One time when he was a kid, his father used to hit him...so anyone who's big and epically intimidating and he runs and hides (his father is the one who gave him the scars)
Epic loudness: He doesn't like it when it's loud, or if there are more than one conversation happening at once, he doesn't like having to distinguish a conversation because it's so loud.
Partying: He doesn't like large groups of people. If he went to a party he'd start to feel all claustrophobic. If it were a smaller party he might be fine, but if it were for example hosted by Alfred? He'd just not go, even if he was practically begged.
Personality: Toris is a quiet guy, while he has conversations with people, he still feels kind of shy, unsure of what exactly what to say, in other words he can have his moments of 'I'm a bumbling idiot.' He's athletic as well, he likes sports, yet he's not a jock, he would rather play his violin, or if he had to do a sport it would be track and field or cross-country.
He likes making friends, he's very easy going, but with the scars on his back he's very cautious of people, and has trust issues of just about everyone he comes in contact with. His trust issues make it hard for him to make friends properly, but the ones he does have, he trusts with everything.
Toris is a loyal person, if something's wrong with someone (even if he doesn't know them well) he'll try to help to the best of his ability. He's always helpful in every way he can be. Though he keeps to himself he helps at least his friends...if he gets asked for help, he'll most likely do it, if he gets told to go away, he'll do that. He's also sort of a pushover, if he's asked to do anything by anyone he'll most likely be doing it.
But he won't do that for anyone, if someone's rude to him in any way he'll ignore the person and just walk away. He doesn't tolerate rude people. They make him mad.
Pet?: Yes, a black cat named Midnight.
Background: Born on February 16th Toris was born into a sort of upper class muggle family. His mother was a musician and played the cello, his father was a high classed businessman who made a lot of business trips, and with his temper, everyone was surprised that he got any deals with how often he yelped at people.
His mother gave him a violin when he was little and was taught how to play. He played in several recitals and everything before he turned twelve. He was well-loved as a child playing his violin. His father actually came to some of his recitals when he was home and congratulated him on his job well done.
As he got older, his father became less than reliable when it came to work. Every time something went wrong or didn't go his way, his father went and got a bottle and drank the whole thing in one go, after one extremely drunk night, his father had a rage fit and hit his mother. Toris jumped in the way as the bottle broke, his father continued to hit him with it, and his back was so bad after that, that he was so extremely excited when he got his acceptance letter.
He realized after that day that those scars were never going to go away. He called the police and filed charges on his father for attacking his mother with a bottle, and about him jumping in the way, he had his mother take pictures of his back, and the bottle, and his father got arrested and thrown in jail for domestic assault, his mother was fine thanks to Toris. It's what made him ultimately think between going into law or medicine.
Relations with other characters: I'll keep this blank for now until I talk with people in the RP if that's okay....
Sample:
(From Hetalia Academy RP)
The poor boy hid away behind the chair in the library, his favorite place, and the only place that his father didn't search for him. Whenever Toris's father was in a mood he'd find something hard and attack him with it. It didn't matter whether it was a bottle, his belt, or even just a random piece of glass that was found on the floor, or that he broke on purpose, Toris's back was his play toy when he was mad. He stayed back as far as he could, the chair in the back left corner of the room was his only sanctuary, it was scary hearing his father's voice coming down the hallway as if he were possessed, or maybe even in the Shining.
'It's okay, it's okay, he's not going to find you here...he hasn't before, he's probably not going to look here again.' he thought to himself shaking so hard it WAS a surprise that he didn't look there.
"Oh Toris..."
His father was drunk, his eyes were red as he burst into the library, almost knocking the door off it's hinges...."I've looked around the entire house Toris....I know you're in here...."
Toris wished he could leave this place, leave to somewhere where he wouldn't have to do this everyday, no twelve year old boy should go through getting the emotional and physical scars that he gets. He could run away to Feliks' house, he could stay there, and then he could be happy again, his scars could heal...'Please don't find me, please don't find me....'
Suddenly he heard the door slam again, and his father stomping out of the room, he heard the door next to the library open and close softly probably because his mother was sleeping, and he didn't want to wake her up....you know even though he was just stomping around and coming close to knocking doors off of hinges. Toris let his eyes close, in his little cubby place in the library and fell asleep there, happy that there were no new scars on his back that Feliks would find the next day.
