Fav. Food: Juice Boxes, Nilla Cookies, Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, and baked goods. He tends to like portable food that you can easily eat with your hands. Jerky and trailmix is his favorite.
Hated Food: Tuna Casserole (As if Tuna wasn't bad enough on it's own.) Actually, scratch that. ALL casseroles are terrible.
School: Dropped out and got his diploma online
Hobbies: Roaming: Toren feels best connected with nature and spends his time getting out of the house to walk the parks and back ways, familiarizing himself with the city and what he considers his territory. It also gives him time to clear his head and he is prone to wandering in and out of uniform.
Petting strays: While he may take a bit of cash from unsavory individuals, he uses what he can to feed the local strays of Destiny city. Even while allergic to cats, he will feed feline and canines alike - and the occasional city raccoon, fox, and anything else. Rodents excluded.
Animal Rescue : If there is a cat in a sewer or a dog stuck in a junk heap, Toren will find them at risk to his own life to take them home and to the humane society.
Virtues:
Motivated-- When given a task, Toren will go the extra mile to see that it is done to the best of his ability. He likes the satisfaction of having something done completely by his own power. Too bad few people actually ask him to do a favor. Instead, he sets personal goals for himself that he works towards, and will not stop till he meets them no matter how long it takes. Because of this, he is usually picky about what he decides to set as a goal as he wants it to be worthy of his time. He'll frown at others who quit in the middle of something because it's "too hard".
Loyal-- Loyalty means watching each other’s back, supporting them in hard times, and being there to offer your help. Caring to those under the same banner, Toren will risk life and limb if it better serves a cause and those who look to him. Despite failing to set a good example as a traitor to the Negaverse, he still feels a deep-seeded loyalty to those in the past who protected him and wished to make the world better. This is the reason he will hold his attacks to those he cared about for due to a shared kinship of a shared belief of doing good. If anyone is deemed is worth working for or protecting, he will tear out any throat that comes to threaten that bond. Since Toren doesn't make friends easily, the ones that can tolerate his prudish personality and stick with him enough to get a firm enough hold to be considered a friend are people that Toren deeply cherishes and would do whatever asked to keep that bond strong.
Experience: Being a veteran at this point recruited into the war back in his teens, Toren has a long history of knowledge and a strict background of training. This has not subsided in his years from the Negaverse to his knighthood and he is still a avid midnight patroller. Due to seeing more than many officers, he has a great deal if history and knowledge about the war under his belt. Through the years, he has also becomes more physically conditioned for fighting, and constant trips to Destiny city has helped him become familiar with different areas. Talking to many people has made him curt, easy to get to the point, and able to evaluate situations quickly for any potential risks or dangers.
Flaws:
An Eye for an Eye: Toren holds grudges, and when he does, it is hard for him to change his mind. Forgiveness is not his forte, and he will usually seek some sort of revenge for a wrong he has seen someone commit against him or others he is loyal to. This can lead to extremes where he focused too hard one a single wrong and unless directed to stop and told it isn't worth his ultimatum, he will hunt down the culprits through hell and high water to get back at them. Toren has had friends and even Wyatt attempt to turn his focus away from what he has considered a challenge or a offense to his person during conversations and has had to quell his temper.
Why So Serious?: War isn't a laughing matter and Toren is often very serious on patrols and his mannerisms. While he isn't trying to be mean, his lack of memories as a civilian has only enforced his military training from the Negaverse. It's hard for him to know what to do with himself outside of fighting and combat discussions that outside of this he is uncomfortable and often struggles to know what to say. This has also created a lack of tact when talking at times or a general confusion what someone might want to talk to him about. Toren likes getting a job done and will often forget that people might want to talk about things other than business. When this happens, he struggles to see that there are other things to talk about or address which often gets people taking him as stern and even aggressive when talking. This has made it hard for him to make friends with coworkers and not coming off as rude when attempting to say anything other than his order at his regularly-visited bakery.
Tight-lipped Toren doesn't share too much about his personal life. Under most circumstances he likes to keep his thoughts and feelings close to his chest unless he feels he can trust the person with the information. Giving this info he views as life threatening at times as they jeopardize those he knows while other times he is uncomfortable being too personal about himself in what he considers minor worries in the grande scheme of the war. He doesn't feel these things are all that important to talk about or worth knowing about him because they aren't as impressive or grand as his powered life.
