Character Name: Tino Väinämöinen
Nationality: Finnish
Gender: Male
Birthday: December 6
Age: 25
Education: Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with a major in Illustration and a minor in Fine Arts History at the Universität der Künste Berlin (Berlin University of the Arts)
Occupation: Freelance Illustrator and amateur photographer.
Family: None present [let me know if you want Tino as a family member? then I might change this and rewrite a bit]
Hometown: Helsinki, Finland
Starting Town: Berlin
Brief History: Tino was born into a happy and simple life of a humble family. Grown up in Helsinki as an only child, he was very loved and his parents did all they could for him, as he tried his best to do everything he could in return. His mother was a seamstress, and his father, a successful architect. He spent most of his teenage years, if not in school, at work; earning money to help his parents.
He kept his artistic hobbies to himself, his drawings and sketches that he had done on his own time hidden from most, never really thinking to pursue them until his mother found them and insisted him to make use of his talents.
He always liked children's books, he realized. And like many children, it was the pictures that inspired him, or had ever put a mark of influence on him. His father would read him books more often then his mother though, and if there weren't any pictures Tino found himself creating his own images by himself in his head to understand the story. And just for plain fun.
Tino's academic grades dropped quite a bit in his senior year of high school, an A average student to a B/C one, when he was working on his portfolio. But he regretted nothing on the time he spent to polish his work and stood happily content when presenting them. He knew there were others that were probably better then him, who've had more time to developing their observational skills and creative outlets, but being a true optimist, he put all that to the side and focused on what he had been able to accomplish in the short time he was given. And that was quite a lot, he might brag.
He always and still continues to believe that he was so lucky, that his parents were so supportive of sending him off to the first art school that had accepted him. They told him to dream big, and work hard. And even now, he always obliged happily to do so.
Personality: Tino is mature, calm and always happy to lend a hand, and happy to work. He is a true optimist and always a friendly neighbor. He is sweet, exceptionally polite and a bit a pushover sometimes, though he would never admit it. He hates to see others in mental or physical pain, and will go out of his way to brighten up their day even the slightest bit. Though he will always listen to what you have to say, he is not at all, like some might think, afraid to speak his mind and share his opinion. Despite his ability to keep a placid demeanor, he is easily startled or frightened. And sometimes might keep his own emotions in as not to burden or cause trouble to anyone else.
Appearance: Tino has short platinum blond hair that parts to fall on the right side of his forehead. His eyes are violet and bright, and his skin is pale and creamy. He has a tattoo of a swallow in flight on the right side of his neck close to the back of his ear, it's there as a reminder to return home.
Fashion Style: Tino likes to dress comfortably, anything from wide-necks, patterned sweaters to scarves and cardigans is his normal attire. In the summer, he sometimes wears loose t-shirts. He finds thrift stores fun to shop at and is shameless about the fact that a large portion of his wardrobe are from them. He usually wears a pair of canvas shoes or sneakers. Occasionally he will wear hats.
Goals: Does your character want a different job? Does he or she want to win a competition? Explain.
Secret: Is there something most people don't know about your character? Fears? Secret loves?
Other: Anything you missed above but wanted to write about goes here.
