Hobbies:
Parkour The act of running around like a fool, at least if you ever asked his mother. Ianto finds great solace is moving about on rooftops and other various objects that other people take for granted. He's broken his arm twice when he was a teenager, and he's by no means an expert. Ianto likes to clear his mind and the slight edge of danger doesn't let him concentrate on anything but the task at hand. It's a wonderful thing for him.

Acting homeless He has a bed, a place to call home, money in his wallet, and plenty other things, but often times people mistake him for a bum because Ianto actually likes to sleep in his car. His mother has gotten upset with him several times, saying he's asking for trouble by it, but there's just something about driving around, parking somewhere when he gets tired, and sleeping that he just can't get over. It's freedom, and he loves it. If he wasn't in school, he'd probably roam all of Northern America like that and love it.

Habitual Prayer Ianto isn't religious, but his mother is and he still technically lives at home, so he's always had religion in his life. It's a hard "habit" to break, and it's become a bit of an ironic practice for him. Say a prayer because you forgot to study. Say a prayer before you possibly leap to your death. Say a prayer before you enter the club so God can help you get laid. He's not a saint, but he finds humor in it, and only sometimes actually believes it might work. But it's just how he was raised, and he's not stopping because it offends you.

Virtues:

Quick thinking Ianto is very good on his feet. He's able to make snap decisions in a quick manner and go with it. In a fight, driving around, running around on roof tops, whatever it is, he never hesitates to at least make a choice in where his life will take him. Of course, it doesn't always pan out, but Ianto's okay with that. He'd rather make a quick choice and live with it instead of dithering about trying to figure things out.

Adaptable Along with quick thinking, Ianto is adaptable. He's able to go with the flow and adjust to the situation at hand without becoming a complete idiot. It doesn't matter where he is, what is going on, or what you think you're doing, he'll be fine because he will at least attempt to handle whatever situation is going down.

Calm Ianto's got a cool, calm mind under his mop of dark hair. He's not the sharpest tool in the tool shed, but he's certainly not the dullest. After several years of life, he's realized that staying calm keeps him out of bad situations and helps the mood in almost any situation. It takes a lot to rattle his cage.

Flaws:

Forgetful Due to his wandering ways, Ianto's not always the best with keeping up appointments. He's late to most of his classes, and has accidentally shown a few girls up on dates. It's not his fault, he was driving, running on roof tops, saw a movie he wanted to see, etc, or just plain forgot all together. He's a bit better when he's not sleeping in his car, but he likes that way too much to keep everything straight and sometimes the days just run together. He's much better with faces, but horrid with names, dates, and times.

Judgmental First impressions last a life time with Ianto Yates. It's true that he's pretty laid back, but he won't give a person the time of day if he thinks they're no fun to be around. It takes a lot to change his mind about someone. As long as he remembers your face and remembers a bad taste in his mouth while around them, he's not going to really talk to you. Hell, he might even ignore you all together, that's just how he rolls.

Insensitive Ianto doesn't care about your emotions. He's a little numb to it all, and he doesn't like it when someone gets angry, starts crying, or babbles about being head over heels in love. If it doesn't involve him, he doesn't want to hear it. And if it does involve him, he still doesn't want to hear it.
