Faint is made of win. At first I was biased because I love tigers but after reading his info I loved him more.
Question: Lets say a girl fell for him. How would he deal with this?

Because of his more... gentle nature towards girls, he'd probably try to ward them away and gently as possible. I mentioned before that he might try to tell them he had a girl back home or something similar to let them down easy without compromising a possible friendship, as they're kind of valuable to him.
I'm so glad you like him. That makes me feel great, because I do love him so much and hope to get him soon. <3

Tried in bribes, but didn't make it. Will have to try again next time. c: In the meantime, yay Floresctival!
Even if it does make Faint sadface.

Hey, DHS! I realized I never gave you the courtesy of a return crit for Toby and wanted to dig this guy up for a look through. There are a lot of appealing elements to him that I like, and I think you have a pretty solid foundation started to work off of for his personality, though there is one thing that keeps sticking at me as a little… out of place as far as that aspect goes.
What I find hard to deal with is what you call the ||Dark closets|| aspect, because… the thing is, Halloween generally functions in a much different way from our human "standards" of potential bigotry. Remember: everything (potentially short of some ghost and undead things) here is born from pumpkins (aka no physical coupling and or "part compatibility" needed for reproduction), and thus I don't believe many of the ideological arguments to CAUSE homophobia in any form ever happened to start with, which makes the trait sort of… awkward and moot? Gay, straight, bisexual, nonsexual, hermaphrodite, COMPLETELY GENDERLESS… functioning parts and who you're shacking up with are just a whole different animal in this environment, because physical sex overall is far less definable in a world of everything from gnomes to ghosts to walking rotting corpses to tentacle monsters. It seems silly for him to be so paranoid about it when I can guarantee that 95% of the people who found out would just go "… so?" and move on without thinking twice.
TL;DR: if you're wiling to make the change, I would highly recommend reworking this part of him, because it honestly doesn't fit well (from my perspective, anyway) in the setting as you have it.
The other thing I'm finding kind of difficult is his species-- and before I go any further, I want to set a disclaimer that this is only my own opinion as a fellow player, nothing more, and you are entirely free to discard it. Tigers are awesome, don't' get me wrong, but for him to be a "weretiger"… it flattens him out as a character in my eyes, because tigers are really SO AWESOME and there's a huge potential for tons of other creative, badass, and even more unique mythos to pull from concerning the species. There's quite a bit of interesting spiritual/ascended beast associations to them in India, for example, as well as a lot of other Asian cultures (China, Japan, Korea, et cetera) for what I've just dug up in casual searches while I wrote this. There's a Korean one especially that talks about a bear and a tiger that desired to become human and stayed in a cave eating mugwart and garlic for 100 days to prove themselves, with the bear transforming into a beautiful woman who bore the country's founder, and the tiger failing and wandering off instead. Maybe something along those lines could be an interesting alternative? It deals with the transformative aspect in a unique, rather backwards way too. They're also used as a lot of deity vehicles, and sprinkled through a lot of other stories as antagonists, too, if you poke around with lots of google searches and Wiki-hopping.
The last thing is, I would be careful of the impression you're giving your character with extra reference material and so forth, because I'll admit… looking over the latter material on this page, all the images of him making "sexy" poses in things like batwing speedos just don't add up with the supposedly classy, decent, well dressed gent-type you described in his profile, and those things really can and do effect reader perception (often negatively) of a character.
For everything I've said in this overly longwinded critique, I do still think you have a solid character in all this, though I'd be thrilled to see him evolve and gain some dimension along the way. Good luck, and I do hope this helps a little!

This crit has actually given me a lot to consider. Faint will always be gay, it's just ingrained in his personality, and I can't imagine him ever freely giving the information, but I'm going to consider how I can change it to fit the setting better.
As for his species, I understand what you mean, but I'm going to have to do some serious research if I'm going to change it. I might even do some sketching and see if I can make up a tiger-based species... I get the feeling I'm going to be very picky when changing it, but it's going to be heavily considered, I assure you.
I'm going to sleep on this and as I come up with solutions I'll update. c: Thank you for the crit and the brain fodder.
