Pastime Information
Hobbies/Talents/Skills:
- Boxing- Starting as a way to stay out of trouble and evolving into a time consuming pursuit on an amateur level. TJ had a natural gift that would help him become one of the better amateurs in Las Vegas; that being his long reach, his wingspan has been measured to be six inches more than his height. The rest was acquired skill through harnessed aggression.
- Card Games- Strictly speaking TJ gravitates toward poker, blackjack, and freecell. He is a decent poker player having actually won some money playing it. At blackjack he is pretty much the run-of-the-mill player who knows the strategy of the game. Freecell is a game that he plays simply for its entertainment value and one he wins around 70% of the time.
Sports: None currently
Clubs: None currently

Misc.: Zip
Mental Information
Personality: Simple. TJ is a blunt and abrasive as a person can possibly get. He says what he wants, about who he wants, when he wants and be damned of the consequences. Needless to say this doesn’t lead to the making of many friends, which makes him appear cold. Now it may seem that TJ is just your average jackass, which is right as far as almost all of the population is concerned, but one person gets a different side. When with Silesia, TJ is like a hyper-active puppy running around with nothing but a smile and laughing consistently. He is generally a happier appearing person, however he almost becomes very protective when other are around her.
For those curious about his “fighting” personality, it is pretty much the same as his normal personality with the one minor change that he may smile during a good one. Involve Silesia and someone is going to die… guaranteed.
Likes: Food, Rock, S.F. 49ers, L.A. Kings, Sacramento Kings, S.F. Giants, A good fight, UFC, video games (sports + FPS), and Silesia (a.k.a. baby girl).
Dislikes: Country, Nosy people, addicts, and everybody else in general.
Mentality/Ideal/Belief: Live for something or die for nothing.
Physical Information
Build: A Boxer’s build.
Defining Marks: A tattoo of a skeleton hand reaching up toward his throat on the chest. A tattoo of a cross tied with thorn vines wrapping around his upper left arm, with "Live for something or Die for nothing" written across the cross.
Description:
- Head- Average shape with a face that shows the evidence of being through the ringer a few times. His hair is kept in a shaggy mop that comes down around his eyes, no styling done. TJ wears a few hats every once and a while, also sunglasses on bright days.
- Torso- From shoulder to shoulder TJ’s chest measures seventeen inches. As mentioned above there is the tattoo as well as some lingering marks here and there from other activities. The muscles are clearly defined due to the intensity and religious repetition of his workouts. However the isn’t, and can’t, be an excessive amount of bulk as that would restrict his movement and make him an easier target. He wears normal crap like Ts, sweatshirts, and other stuff.
- Arms- Each arm measures thirty-one inches and have a few marks in addition to the tattoo. The muscles are build to the highest extent to maximize his strength, explosion, blocking, and endurance capabilities. Being the focus of his fighting they must be built to such an extent. He wears an occasional sleeve.
- Legs- Nothing but legs. The muscle development is relatively high in a bulk sense as well as definition. Leg Presses and constant running to build stamina have done so. Again normal stuff like jeans, shorts, and sweat with an occasional brace.
- Feet- Normal feet size 12. Sneakers, running shoes, and boots… nothing more to say.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Boxing
Years Practiced: 8 years
Description of style: Boxing is a style most have seen due to the sports exposure over the years. It is a style that is completely devoid of any attacks from the lower limbs and focuses entirely on punches. TJ is equally comfortable with either foot forward but prefers the Southpaw stance where the right is put forward. The reason for this being that he feels that he gets more effective speed and pop from a right-handed jab while the loaded left, while not as powerful as a right would be, is sufficient. A more precise description of the style TJ uses would the term Swarmer or In-fighter. A Swarmer is a boxer who gets in real close to their opponent and throw long combinations of punches without relenting. This requires a great deal of aggression and endurance as well as the ability to take quite a beating. The most of you would know who used this style was Mike Tyson. He posted an amateur record of 5-0 with 4 KOs
A side-note would be that TJ is not above throwing elbows, knees, or low kicks during an actual street fight. In that situation he is nothing more than a brawler with training in one form.
Overall Strengths: Being a trained boxer TJ is at his most dangerous in close quarters combat, once he is in close he is unrelenting and knows how and where to hit to cause the most possible damage. Add on his overall distaste for most anybody and he won’t stop till the bodies drop.
Overall Weaknesses: Well, unlike all you ninjas, TJ couldn’t kick his way out of a paper bag. No real ability to kick anything above his waist limits him to pretty much a two vs. four limb fight against anyone who can, on top of which he must get inside someone’s leg range to attack in his own manner.
History Information
History: Taylor Joseph Kingston was born in Las Vegas to parents Harris and Jennifer Kingston as the second child after an older brother by five years named Gregg. For the first seven years of life it was a pretty normal go of it for TJ and the family. Normal family, normal life… well as normal as it can get in the city of sin a.k.a. Las Vegas. Harris worked floor security at the Monte Carlo casino and Jennifer taught level courses in politics and history at UNLV. But after the first seven years things started to go south, very south.
In what would be diagnosed as severe depression, Jennifer started a slippery slop of hard-partying, alcohol, and drug abuse. Harris simply ignored the situation by burying himself in work, meanwhile Gregg became a problem child and TJ was stuck alone. This would continue for years while Jennifer and Gregg worsened in their respective plights.
Everything would come to a head when, after nine months of waiting, Jennifer gave birth again to a little blonde-haired blue-eyed girl. TJ was eleven at the time. Unfortunately everyone in the family had dark hair and dark eyes, Harris demanded a paternity test that would reveal that this baby was not his but another’s. In what would prove to be the last moment of her intelligence Jennifer would name the child, Silesia. Soon they were all one big dysfunctional family.
Of course Jennifer only got worse, even with the help forced upon her, while fighting with Harris about every little thing including the baby that had just joined the family. Gregg only fell further into trouble, leaving TJ as the only one to look after and care for the infant member of the family. Growing resentment of his father grew as the young boy blame dear old dad for allowing the situation to even reach this point. This continued on for about three and half years until Jennifer finally passed away. Gregg was out on his own gambling and hustling the streets like a thug. Thus it was only Harris, TJ, and little Silesia.
Over the next year Harris would get involved with and eventually marry a chef from one of the casino’s restaurants. Now five and tired of Las Vegas life, the new Kingston family up and moved to the lovely city of San Francisco. Harris and his new wife Adrianne, her daughter Kayla, and of course TJ and Silesia, who to this point had only remained due to TJ’s attachment to her. That’s where we stand now.
