Mental Information
Personality:
- Travis is a somewhat complicated guy. He isn't necessarily mean toward others, unless he's in a bad mood. From time to time, he'll be an asshole, but again it usually depends on whether he knows you, or whether or not his mood will allow him to be nice. He has a bad temper though, and that usually doesn't help him make friends. But as long as you know him, or are at least civil toward him then you probably won't have too many problems wit him. Essentially, it's best to treat Travis the way that you would like to be treated.
He does have a softer side to him, though it'll probably be rare for anyone that isn't dating him, to see. He enjoys spending time with the person he dates, otherwise he wouldn't date them, right? He'll always try to be fair, but occasionally he'll get jealous and he might even confront someone about it if he feels he should. He's very protective of those that he is close to, guy or girl.

Mentality/Ideal/Belief:
Mentality
- Vindictive when he feels he's been wronged. But for the most part, he does what he wants. And is usually peaceful.
Ideal
- "Set goals, and complete those goals. If you fail, try until you succeed."
Belief
- "Not everyone can be trusted. Pick and choose carefully. Never fully trust someone, that is just asking to be betrayed"

Description: Travis is in shape, and when it comes to what he wears, he's pretty versatile. He enjoys a nice pair of jeans, a tank top and other simple cloths like that. He rarely wears the same thing over and over, but the one thing that is constant is that black leather bandanna that he wears. It's also sometimes accompanied by the likes of a pair of goggles.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style:
- Kickboxing/Brawling
- Grappling/Wrestling
- Brazlian Jiu-Jitsu
Years Practiced:
- 7 years Kick-Boxing
- 2 BJJ/Wrestling/Grappling
Description of style:
- Kickboxing is a generic term for a sporting martial art that, while similar to boxing, uses the feet as well as the hands for striking. Kickboxing can be practiced for general fitness, or as a full-contact combat sport. Kickboxing, as a derivative of Boxing, Karate, Taekwondo as well as other styles, was created to compete effectively against these martial arts. The initial development of the styles (as well as the name) was in Japan. However there were also similar influences taking hold in the United States in 1974 (Wako), and martial artists from many disciplines toured both areas allowing the development of a common kick boxing standard.
Along with Kick boxing, Travis will use basic brawling tactics. He's not afraid to go in with tooth and nails bared. He will bite if he believes the situation is right. He will use his head, as in he will head butt. He will do whatever he believes works. He tends to mix this in with his kick boxing abilities, to make it harder to read.
In his absence, mainly due to boredom, Travis picked up quite a few skills. Due to his natural ability to fight, and willingness to learn, Travis quickly rose in the ranks as a grappler and at the same time he built his submission skills and ground game up solid as well. He had a knack for this kind of thing, and it only seemed natural that he would pick it up, due to his skills with kick-boxing, and how well it would complement his fighting style.
Overall Strengths:
- Travis is very well rounded when it comes to fighting. He can throw a punch, and he can throw a kick with power, precision and technique. He prefers to think that his technique is probably the best thing about him.
Overall Weaknesses:
There isn't too much that could be considered a weakness with his style of fighting. He's well-rounded and versed in stand-up and ground fighting. But he does have a problem when he has to fight a lot of people at once. He's not too good at that just yet.
History Information
History:
- Travis grew up in New York City with his parents and his older brother. His brother was a high-school student while he was in elementary school. One day, a riot broke out at his olds school. Many high-school students we're hurt, injured and even killed. His brother was one of the three that got killed. His parents had a slight breakdown. His father immediately withdrew Travis from that school, and his parents made plans on moving out of the city as soon as possible. They decided that a complete change of scenery would help, and so they moved to the opposite side of the country. To California.
It seemed that Travis would be attending a semi-normal school, that was until he finished elementary school and was said to begin attending a slightly new school which had just been established not too long ago. He didn't mind. He didn't really know much about it, and he decided that he would give it a chance. That was the only way he would know if he would like it, or hate it.
After a short stay at the school, Travis had become accustomed to it. He had liked it and he had even made a friend or two, probably even more enemies. But soon enough he had received a rather unexpected offer from his uncle. A once in a lifetime offer, to him at least. He was to fly out to Japan as soon as possible and stay with his uncle. He instantly took the chance and flew out. And for two years he was 'home-schooled' and such. Sending all his work back to his parents so they could send it back to the school.
It was during that time he would attempt to learn the language, and indulge himself in Japanese culture. But soon enough he would have a run in with a gang. Already being at a disadvantage having not known the language, Travis soon found himself in a scrap with 3 members, taking two out before running for his life. After telling his uncle of what happened, his uncle grew fearful for Travis' life. The gang he had run into was much larger and more sophisticated then he had expected. With that in mind, his uncle would send him home, back to California. It was time for him to return to #259.
Shortly after Travis' return to the school he hated, he was lucky enough to come into contact with Sara Quinn. He quickly got attached to the female, and after Travis got kicked out of his home, he was invited to stay with his new girlfriend at her place. Soon enough, the earthquake hit and tore his former school apart. Due to that, Travis found that he'd soon be transferred. He didn't mind though, he was sure that others he knew would be around. And he'd still have Sara. He doubted this place was going to be any different than his former school.
