Appearance:
    Tonio's skin is white with a light tan, standing at 5ft 10in with hazel eyes and short sandy brown hair. He wears a white long sleeved shirt that is thin underneath a rust brown vest. A black trench coat that is torn up at the bottom part, black pants and matching shoes. He is seen with a brown shoulder bag that holds a few notebooks inside of it. He also carries a wooden cane with him. While it's clear he doesn't need it to walk, he prefers to use it as a weapon and a ruse; to make people think he needs it and they underestimate him a little due to it.

    He also has a black cellphone in his pocket. Although he hardly uses it to call people on or to answer calls he receives; depends on who's calling him. He uses the cellphone's notepad feature as a diary like item, often typing down things that might have nothing to do with the case or his emotions. Just depends on what the day has hold that he deems worthy to put in it.

    He's of average build and he doesn't have any scars. Although, one often mistakes Tonio for being weak due to his average build being a bit on the thin side. However he quickly proves capable in a fight. His clothes aren't of high quality so it's pretty clear that he doesn't have a lot of cash, mainly his clothes are from the near poor section since he prefers not to waste money on clothes.

Personality:
    Tonio is normally a rather silent person, while being as such, he's actually very nice. Acting the gentlemen, Tonio has manners that help him get on the good side of some people. To the allies and friends he makes; although those are very few, he's very loyal to them. Willing to risk his life for them. With a kind and caring heart, he's willing to help anyone with a problem.

    However, despite his good manners and nice ways, he's rather distant. Having no personal life really, Tonio hardly has anyone in his life to call friend or family. His work is pretty much the only thing in his life. Another thing one will notice is his distrust and hate toward the police. While he will put up with them, he refers to them as hounds and isn't afraid to show his dislike toward them. Mainly it's to Robert Colom; these two are often seen butting heads with words.

    Tonio isn't afraid of the risks in hsi job, in fact. He seems to look forward to the danger in order to find the truth. While he does make sure to get out of it alive, he's fine with getting the injuries he does. Even though he's normally a good guy and is seen butting heads with the police, he does have a temper. Saying anything ill about his father or just Robert getting on his nerves by being himself, it's often possible for it to anger Tonio. He's also something of a workaholic. He's also a loner when it comes to his job, preferring to work alone.

Background Info

Family:
Tobias Preston, father; dead.
Lily Preston, mother; dead
Marie Preston, older sister; dead


Background:
    Tonio's life was one most would like to forget parts of it. Born to Tobias and Lily Preston, Tonio was the second born. His older sister was Marie Preston and despite being close when they were little, they quickly grew apart as they aged. Tonio's father was a Private Investigator while his mother was a florist. They lived like every normal family in a small house. He was a rather curious child and was always running off but stayed nearby. His parents often found him staring at things as if trying to find something that wasn't there. One time he spent a hour staring at a turtle to see if it would move with him sitting next to it; it stayed in it's shell the whole time.
His school life was very uneventful or meaningful. Besides learning, Tonio had nothing else to gain from school. While everyone else was into sports of some kind, Tonio wasn't. He prefered to just get his homework done, pass the classes, and get out of there. Due to this, no one really socialized with Tonio, making him grow up without friends. The same thing applied to his sister, even though she tried to get him to do things besides study and get his homework done. Eventually she just gave up and started acting like everyone else. Tonio didn't really care.

    When he was thirteen, things took a horrible turn. His father had stuck his nose into a case he should've left alone. With an old enemy closing in, his father had asked a friend of his in the police for help. However, the officer wasn't able to do anything. Leading to the murder of Tonio's family a year later. Knowing who the office was and how close of a friend he was to his father, lead Tonio to not trust the police and for him to also gain a hatred for them.
He was sent to live with his grandparents afterwards. Tonio spent his spare time taking small cases such as helping to find a girl's lost cat or something like that. Eventually, he became a Private Detective when he was seventeen. Although his grandparents were at first against it, they saw that their grandson would be able to do some good this way and that he really wasn't suited for anything else.

    As he started out his life as a private Detective, he quickly gained the attention of the police. As he often interfered in their cases. One of the Police Detectives was the officer that was a friend to his father. The two of them are often seen on bad terms, neither being able to stand the other. While Tonio has a calm way of handling it, it's clear that Tonio gets under the Police Detective's nerves very much and very easily. Often threatening to arrest Tonio but never goes through with it.
In order to avoid being found out by the enemies he makes out of criminals, he often took to wearing disguises to keep who he was a secret when going into the heart of criminal turf. Although he does have a few allies in the underworld, none of them know his real name. Allies and enemies alike, know him as Trickster. This is due to him using the environment to his advantage in a fight and setting up traps to catch his opponents off guard. Even the Police Detective; Robert Colom, seems to have forgotten Tonio's name, as he is seen calling Tonio, Trickster.

    Even with the criminal who killed his family still out there, Tonio hasn't made it a primary goal. While he does want to catch the man responsible, he will by his time and wait. Believing that all his cases are intertwined, he'll eventually be presented with a case that will lead him to the man who killed his family. And once that happens, he'll do everything he can to make sure that man rots in jail.

Sample RP:
    Tonio leaned against the brick wall behind him. His black cellphone was out and in his right hand. His hazel eyes were fixated on the small screen as he typed away on the small keyboard. One passing him by would think that he was just one of those people who stood there and watched their world fly by. A bystander would be one way to put it. However, Tonio wasn't a complete bystander. While he had no personal life, he just wasn't one to sit there for his whole life. Besides, his job gave him something to do and often it never had him bored.

    Granted, there were a few cases where he had been bored. Only cause for that was due to it being easy. Clicking the save option, the most recent note was saved on the small electronic and he closed it. Quickly placing it in his pants pocket. His hazel eyes turned their gaze to the people passing him by. The train station was just as busy as ever.

    His attention was soon grasped when a person wearing a black hoodie sweater, faded blue jeans, and worn out tennis shoes came to a stop next to him. Leaning against the same brick wall. The person was a friend of his as well as someone he knew while on the job. A sigh left him as the man pulled out a cigarette and lite it. Placing the thing in between his lips hidden under the hood.

    "So Trickster, still being a fox?" the person asked, Tonio turned his gaze to the ceiling.

    "Why should I stop?" Tonio asked, not looking at the man next to him.

    "Cause you're crazy. You keep this up, you'll end up with a bullet in between your eyes." Tonio shrugged.

    "Well all end up six feet under some day." the man laughed as they removed the cigarette and blew a stream of smoke out.

    "You got guts kid, but you best be a little more careful." Tonio smiled and looked at the person.

    "You actually worried?" the man couldn't help but laugh harder.

    "You insane?!! I don't give a rat's hide about you, so don't forget that. After all, if my buds knew I was talking to you. I'd be in that grave six feet under, and I'd make sure to give you a very un restful afterlife." Tonio smiled.

    "Fair enough." a buzzing sound went off and it drew the man's attention as Tonio took the cellphone out of his pocket.

    "Who is it?" Tonio just opened it and closed it, putting it back in his pocket, and started to walk away.

    "Just an annoying old hound."[/u][/b]
