xxxxxPositive Traits
Curious - Anything and everything has to be known to TJ. He wants to see and look at and touch everything - but, most importantly, put it in his mouth. It's a bad habit of his, and has been since he was a toddler, that all objects go into his mouth or receive a thorough licking if he, for some reason, cannot fit it. He found - and still finds - things easier to remember if he's associated them with a texture on his tongue and though he's managed to stifle the habit greatly, he still occasionally finds himself wishing to put something against his tongue just to see how it feels.
Besides that, TJ is driven by an overwhelming desire to see how things work. His whole life he's had a desire to take things apart and find out which part does what. . . before challenging himself to put it back together again. While TJ isn't necessarily the brightest crayon, he's not stupid and often reads about how things that have caught his eye work. He often finds it impossible to stop until he knows how it works and can put it back together so that it not only works as good as before but maybe even better.
Friendly - TJ is a relatively good natured guy - he likes to assume that people are harmless until proven otherwise. It's naive, especially in a place like Wonderland, and TJ has experienced death far more than his fair share. It hasn't changed him though - which could be just willful stupidity - and he continues to greet everyone with a smile on a face and a "How are you doing? Can I help you?" and, perhaps most importantly, means it. However, TJ isn't someone to be rudely walked all over - "friendly" means that everyone gets their fair chance at impressing him and he isn't a bag of dicks to anyone that upsets him. If he's crossed enough, TJ certainly will cease to be friendly and switch to "cordial" instead - and from "cordial" to rude - just like any normal human being.
xxxxxNeutral Traits
Own Tempo - TJ will get his s**t done, most assuredly, and he'll do it at his own rate... but he's doing at his own rate. He can't be hurried or encouraged to go any faster or slower than he's already working. He's a good worker when left to his own devices and isn't pushed to do anything - he's incredibly effective and works pretty quickly so long as he's confident in what he's doing and never procrastinates unless someone tries to push him - then all bets are off. TJ gets very frustrated when people try to control him and often works much slower in such cases - while sometimes it's not on purpose and is merely a side effect of his distraction, the lickitung isn't above purposefully slowing down (or speeding up, if the person wanted him to work slower for some odd reason) just to thumb his nose at whoever thought his original pace wasn't good enough.
xxxxxNegative Traits
Underthinks things - While TJ is isn't all that smart, he isn't all that stupid either - but he has a terrible tendency to not think things he's doing through. in a few words, the story of his life is a repetition of the phrase "it seemed like a good idea at the time." Like his curiosity, this tends to get him in a lot of trouble as he'll pick fights with people even if he doesn't think he can win if it means getting someone who's less capable of defending themselves a moment or two to run and get away. He also says things that can be construed as rude without meaning it because he failed to give it a second thought - TJ lacks that critical barrier between mind and mouth that tells him when he shouldn't say certain things. . .
Quick-Tempered - Which occurs quite frequently when he's mad. And even though TJ has pretty much clearly defined triggers, it doesn't take much at all to tick him off. He tries really, really hard to stay calm! He does! But... it just doesn't happen for him; he loses his cool quickly and easily, tossing his considerable muscle around in the process. While ordinarily TJ is pretty calm and almost pacifistic and remains that way until enraged, once he's lost his cool too badly, there's almost no stopping him. Coupled with a fierce protective streak, TJ isn't afraid of decking anyone that threatens to hurt someone he cares for. And while he'll spend a good while apologising after losing his cool if he didn't really mean it and still likes the person (if he doesn't, they might get a mumbled "sorry but not really" if anything at all), it's almost guaranteed to happen. This trait mostly manifests itself as an adult - as an infant, he mostly throws a fit and bawls if he's upset, instead of becoming physically violent.
xxxxxLikes: Savoury or sweet foods, being able to work for hours at a time, peace and quiet at the end of a long day.

xxxxxFavourite Food: Steak or anything else very savoury.
xxxxxHobbies: Working with his hands/taking things apart.
Reading applicable things to his job.
xxxxxInterests: Going on walks - he does this as frequently as he can but he's usually so busy with something that he lacks time.
xxxxxFaction Opinion: TJ absolutely loves it; he hardly ever leaves the park, constantly looking for something to fix up - or maybe even tune up just so it works better and more efficiently.
xxxxxAspirations: To become the best mechanic, to work for everyone and anyone who needs help with something electronic or mechanical instead of just clubs.
Employment::
