SPECIALTY
Tino has been trained to be an eagle-eyed sniper, and has trained for several years in various forms of long range weapons ranging from a standard handgun, to various sniper rifles, and even a slingshot, ironically his favorite weapon. He is able to shoot target with excellent accuracy and can hit things at seeable distance by eye, where others may need a scope. Aside from that Tino has an extensive journal of various bombs, smokescreens, and other explosives left to him by his grandfather. The last couple of entries has changed to a different form of hand writing and at times has a question mark under the label of desired effect. Most of these do involve alcohol as a key ingredient but there are a few that rely on more less volatile ingredients. Tino has grown to withstand exposure to minor smokes and mists without short term effects but they still can have a long time effect if exposed for too long or too many times.
[li] Animals: Tino has an immense love of animals, from dogs and cats even outstretching to other less understood animals including snakes, beetles, and bats.
[/li][li] Saunas: When it comes to ways of blowing off steam, no pun intended, a woodened room full of steam emitting from a center heater is the best.
[/li][li] Snow and Ice: On one hand the snow and ice may reminded him of home, but on the other hand snow and ice can make great cover. Not to mention easy places to hide something that needs to disappear.
[/li][li] The cold: Chilly weather, snow cones, a lake at the first strike of the day; the bitter feel of cold temperature always will hold a place in his heart. Partly because it reminds him of home, partly also because the short cut of anything cold reminds him that his body is still functioning correctly.
[/li][li] Holidays and Celebrations: What can be said about the joyous time of the year? People gathering together, spending time with loved ones, oh and a perfect time to slip in silently take out a target, and escape in the panic.
[/li][li] Cooking: Well more specifically Tino loves the act of cooking and his native meals. How others feel about his cooking, well best leave that unsaid; yesterday’s dinner may be tomorrow’s weapon.
YOUR CHARACTER'S DISLIKES
[/li][li] Being Overpowered: Tino hates when others can get an advantage over him because of his size; and is one of the main reasons why he prefers fighting at a distance.
[/li][li] Not having a say in the matter: This more involves when he doesn’t have a say in the matter in things that involve him. He wants to know of everything on the table before he makes a decision.
[/li][li] People who try to forcibly change his view: While Tino is opened to new ideas and concepts; he is against people forcing their ways onto him. This has led to several altercations in the past.
[/li][li] Being Alone: It’s not to say that Tino has issues taking care of himself, or that he is codependent; it’s just the concept of being the only person for miles around or the only noise in a deafening room just leaves a bad feeling in him.
[/li][li] Long periods of extreme heat: He hates extremely warm and arid places. Combine this with his body naturally adapted to the cold and snow of his homeland leaves him to be a very annoyed person when it comes to deserts or anything close to them.
[/li][li] When others look down on him: Often the butt of others jokes because of his size, Tino has grown to hate being looked down upon for any reason and it is best described as to not do it.
FEARS
[/li][li] Being alone: Since Tino was young he always hated both physically and emotionally being alone. It could easily be from the times he would get lost on his way home, or from the times people would bully him about his frail size. Overall Tino always tries to find and surround himself with people he knows, and if often seen with a small dog wrapped in his arms.
[/li][li] Being Picked on by people bigger than him: Due to his trouble with others his age, Tino has grew to avoid people who seem threatening to him, or people he feels may lead to a conflict. After all it’s a much smarter concept to attack at a distance.
QUIRKS/ODDITIES
[/li][li] Holiday Cheer: Tino, despite his somewhat shy nature, has a knack for being overly sharable and has often tends to try and bring people into his holidays.
[/li][li] Nod, Nod: Tino has a tendency to nod constantly when people are talking to him. Despite how it may seem somewhat arrogant to select people, he is fully paying attention he just has a tendency to appear to be agreeing with a lot of things.
[/li][li] His Beret: What can he say, Tino loves the little white hat that often hangs slightly off of his left side of his head.

OVERALL PERSONALITY
Tino, after being under the feet of bullies, has to at times lack confidence in his own abilities and feel that he would let people down. Despite the several hardships he’s endured he doesn’t seem to get depressed easily take solace in the festivals and holidays he has kept close all his life. His cheery mood is often kept by a leveled head and a slight optimistic attitude, and he often is seen wearing a warm smile. His overall gentle and kind spoken demeanor often sets himself aside from people his age, especially the ones that he had known back in his home town. It is best described that this outward appearance masks who he is. He does have a soft side for small, furry, animals, and anything cute and adorable. He does miss the snow and ice of his home country, and despite how he well hides it; the feeling is really obvious when he is caught staring off into space on an extremely hot day. Tino does have a tendency to nod a lot when people are talking to him, not so much out of boredom, he just tries to find a way to agree with various ideas.
His softened and laid back attitude often hides the calculative mind that tracks small details and events that catches eye. Those who get to fully understand the Finnish teen get to know that gentle spirit who has a tendency to talk, and talk, and talk, way too much hides a somewhat cold and intelligent mind. He does have a side to him where he is able to be a fierce force in a fight, and despite how this is seen very rarely, it is known for being quite terrifying compared to his usual cheerful and mature mind set. When in the heat of battle, Tino becomes a full monster, and even shows a thirst for the unmistakable grasp of fame and fortune of a fight. This often leads to him having more energy and to be able to withstand extended times of heightened intensity. The one thing that would have a chance of pulling out Tino’s darker side outside of a fight is looking down at him, or to bully others. He is slightly paranoid of those around him, to the point he almost always carries a small sling shot and several hand-made bullets for it. These can vary from small pieces of wood carved with various spikes and grooves, but also to small rocks and even a few glass balls that carries one of his smoke screens in them.
(one from another site I’m on.)
Tino gave off a slight smile as he thought on how to escape the blasted maze he had accidently wondered into. What had seemed to be an hour long walk in the woods to take in the new plant life had turned into a three hour long march trying to find his way out. His hands clutched around the small tree branch he had been using as a walking stick, his tired eyes scanned the room as he looked hopefully for an exit. Fear rushed across his spine as it seemed odd noises had stretched from everywhere around him.
“Okay, calm yourself down. All you have to do is go back the way you came.” A smile emerged as he turned around to look for the way he had walked in. “No, n.. no way, how?” His violet eyes followed the walls to a fully closed dead end from the way he just came. He tried to fathom on how it had happened, but before he could come up with an idea some shot out from the wall, nailing him in the chest. Hitting the ground hard, he watched as the small ball that had hit him bounced to a stop not far from him. It was a little bigger than his fist, and was strong enough to knock the young teen off his feet but not to permanently injure him.
“What? What the hell?” One hand clutched over his chest as the other one was rested against the walking stick to help him up. He turned to start to walk away, when he heard another odd sound behind him. Turning his head, the young blonde only had enough time to start running as the leafy walls started to close behind him at a fast pace. One foot after another one, quickly echoed as he ran across the small way. He eventually tripped as the walls came to a stop. As he got up, he took note of three separate ways to go. He was about to sit down to take a break, when he heard something running down the path on his right. He held the walking stick he had like a spear, unaware on what was going to run out of the narrow pathway.
