Fears:that Swedish guy's killfacethunderstorms, abandonment
Personality:
Through everything the rough road of life puts him through, Tino manages to remain ever the optimist and is a master at patience. He's sensible and adultlike, keeping levelheaded in the most critical of situations, always trying to play the 'parental' figure if he can get away with it. However, he still manages to keep in touch with his inner child-- very much so, with his passion for the holidays and love of bizarre festivals.
He makes good first impressions as he's always friendly and talkative (perhaps a bit too talkative), but always seems nervous and careful-- Tino's actually a lot shyer than he comes off as, and is full of insecurities that he'd rather not exploit. As big-hearted as he is, he never lets himself be too vulnerable. However, get close enough to him and he'll show you a completely different, rowdier side of himself-- especially when intoxicated. He's shockingly famous for being a violent drunk, and alcohol is almost a step away from ruling his life.
Sometimes it can seem like he's oblivious or has his head in the clouds, or that he's too innocent for his own good, but this isn't so; he just likes to think of himself as being 'selectively ignorant' in certain situations. He's also a bit of a hopeless romantic and can hold his own in a fight-- it's best not to mess with him, no matter how delicate he looks.

Family: Lives with his father Olavi; his mother, Maija, is long since deceased. He's an only child, but considers Eduard von Bock to be something of a little brother (even if it annoys him).
History:
Tino doesn't particularly enjoy talking about his past-- for him, it is both painful to resurface and boring to talk about. He grew up in the very heart of Finland with no siblings and only one friend to speak of (that being Eduard). At a very young age, he lost his weakened mother to a fatal sickness, and her sudden passing tore their tiny family apart at the seams-- his father became an alcoholic, and with his drinking habits came a sudden indifference toward his own son.
If asked about his family now, Tino will likely lock up and attempt to change the subject; though the roots of his current drinking problem are quite obvious-- not even out of high school and already facing potential rehab.

[/size]Talent or Unique Ability:Making up awesome namesMarksmanship-- Tino's aim is ridiculous no matter what you put in his hand, and he could probably put the best snipers in the world to shame. He plays with guns frequently, but it comes in handy in sports too.
