Appearance (W.I.P)
Torio stands around - weighing -. He L has a somewhat skinny build with visible muscles due to years working as a boatswain on The White Tide. Their tanned complexion is also a result of being on the boat.
He has a diamond shaped face, which is surrounded by a mop of short sandy blonde hair which is usually tousled thanks to the spray of sea salt. Occasionally when he hasn’t cut it for weeks it grows out in a mullet. His oval eyes are a dark brown hue so they look black in some light. Despite being naturally blonde, Torio has always had thick dark eyebrows and due to a childhood incident , he can’t really remember what happened he has a small scar that goes through his right eyebrow. He has thin pale lips above his lips is his blonde mustache that is barely visible in the sun. and when he grins which I they usually do, they have a missing canine tooth on their left side. Above this is his defined nose that would be named a button nose.
Noticeable features about Torio that are visible straight away is the beauty mark underneath his the right eye nearby their hairline. Although if Torio took off his shirt on a hot day, on his chest he has a scar across it which he got by a sea creature..he doesn’t know entirely what but he’s skeptical of the idea of sea monsters.They also have a birth mark that’s around the Centre of their spine.
Clothes that are typical for Torio yo be seen wearing is either a tank top or a t-shirt in a variety of colors from blue to shades like white however he usually wears white or blue in summer due to the heat. However in the winter or in just cold weather he’ll be glad to shrug on his tatty old grey v-necked jumper. He wears some jewelry just some gold hooped earrings and a black thread necklace with a metallic dolphin charm on it, he made sure that it wasn’t silver by taking it from a not shady marketplace but also from the fact no one died or got fatally ill
His voice is nothing unique, just the normal baritone male voice although his vocal range can go higher.
Personality (adding to this)
Observant | Sensitive | Empathetic |Overprotective | Honest | Materialistic | Confidence | Short-Tempered
There are various sides to Torio which can be seen as negative or positive.
Torio is quite sensitive so even if he doesn’t seem effected, he takes words and actions deep to his heart. This is probably why he is so short tempered as if someone says something that strikes a certain nerve even if it is said as a joke, Torio will probably react before he can think about how the person meant it. Despite being quite short fused, he is quite empathetic and is always there for anyone to talk to about anything,he usually puts himself in other people’s shoes so this is why he is so overprotective especially those who he love which is the crew of The White Tide. He would protect them as if they were his own family which in his mind they are practically.
Due to Torio’s materialistic mind, he is prone to stealing just for the sake of gaining money. Due to this kind of mindset, he hates having to spend his coins for the fear of losing money. Despite being materialistic? Torio is very honest with the crew of The White Tide and would tell them if he picked thru pocket even if they didn’t notice and give it back to them. He also claims to not lie however he is known to tell people bluffs which is counts as not lying as it’s “bluffing”.
Another final quality that Torio has is that he is very observant, mainly of his surroundings which is helpful on a boat in the sea. But he is also observant of people’s emotions so he can read the room quite easily which sometimes is tense for them.
*Likes
- Cards- Due to a quite unsupervised childhood, Torio walked the streets of his hometown and became friends/acquaintances with people at bars who taught him skills such as cards. Or he would just watch them and learn.
- Shiny sh!t- He doesn’t entirely know where his magpie like nature for shiny stuff comes from, but he watched thieves as a kid and how they were barely hungry due to getting coins for food or just stealing food. So he did the same and therefore became the correlation between that shiny meant valuable. And of course who doesn’t love a little bit of money.
- Animals- Due to the fact that The White Tide has many animals like Gore’s kinda dog thing, The cat and of course the chickens. Torio found a love for animals and cares for them as much as he cares about the crew.
- His “family”- Torio considers the crew of The White Tide as his family as he joined it in his teens and in addition they’ve brought him happiness and the feeling of being loved. He would protect any one of the crew members on the boat no matter how close he is with them.
*Dislikes
- Boredom- One thing all of The White Tide crew know is that Torio and Bored do not mix well. When Torio is bored, he’ll just pester anyone to play cards or chat to them.
- Insects- Torio doesn’t just dislike insect, they have a certain hate towards them. They don’t even know why such creatures exist, like all they do is crawl around. Shivers
- Water- Of course their fear of water means Torio hates water like a cat stereotypically hates water.
Strengths
- Agility-They have learnt agility from their childhood but also due to his years on The White Tide helping leap off the boat to tie her up to a dock.
- Pickpocketing- Watching thieves as a kid , he learnt tricks from them and also from his early failures of pickpocketing. He know is swift and it’s quite easy for him to pick a pocket..however he knows never to pick a pocket of a crew member. Unless he’s bored then he’ll give it back in like maybe a minute.
- Quick To Adapt - He craves the feeling of wind on his face and he loves seeing new land.. he’s happy to go anywhere as he can quite easily adapt to any situation they get themselves in. He’s not sure how but he doesn’t stress over unknown situations or circumstances and instead tries to sort out the situation if needed.
- Charmer- Playing cards during his childhood with a mix of people with different personalities really helped develop one) social skill and two) his charm when playing games like Cheat or Poker so he’s good at sweet talking people and bluffing.
Weaknesses
- Swimming- Torio has a fear of water due to a lot of accidents during his childhood where he has nearly drowned and died. Some of The White Tide know about this but a lot of the new crew members assume he knows how to swim as he works on a boat.
- Trust issues - Once you break their trust, it is hard to gain his trust back so try not to. His trust issues also leads to him doubting others intentions too.
- Hoarding- Due to him loving to collect random stuff he’s pickpocketed or found, he is prone to collecting and collecting until it’s categorized as hoarding.
- Short Fuse- Although Torio is generally a nice temperamental guy, if something hits a nerve he’ll react before he thinks,.
