PERSONALITY

Free spirited by nature, Tim's nonchalant attitude gives him an aura of mystery and intrigue he can’t help but exude. With a tough looking appearance that he carried with him since he was an high school kid, he is deeply caring and gentle if you can get past that thick outer layer. Though usually a pillar of emotional control he can have an explosive temper that he won't hesitate in showing in case he feels in the need of it.

He's also a very spiritual person, a legacy from his several travels around the world. Life needs to be experienced though the senses and he knows it. He loves being alone, meditate, take time to think about life and where the decisions he makes in the present are going to lead him in the future. He likes to plan and have things under control, but only to some extend, because he's also a man who enjoys living the present and don't worry about what the future is going to bring him.

In relationships, he's a very open person and makes friend fast, however when it comes to love or personal relationships he tends to be careful because of a broken heart he had in the past. He's afraid to give his heart to a woman because he doesn't want to have it broken again.

PERSONAL HISTORY

Born in a large, middle class family, Tim didn't know the meaning of the word freedom until he was in high school. Was then when he learnt that there was more to see in the world than what the surroundings of Pleasant Port offered him. Instead of going to college like most of his siblings, he decided to travel around the world against his mother's wishes, who always considered that the only way to become useful for the society and a worth family man was to have a good career that allowed you to win a lot of money to keep up your family. But also against his family's wishes, Tim decided against having a family, even if he has had several girlfriends, all of them out of Pleasant Port.

On 1993, he moved to Mexico with his best friend, where he lived four years working as a waiter in a restaurant in Alamos (Sonora). Then moved back to Pleasant Port, where he lived for a couple of years, working at the local record store, back then owned by a man called Scott Mason. When he was 30, fascinated by the oriental culture, he decided to visit Asia, where he spent 5 years of his life, living in Dheli. While being there, he met a woman called Amisha. They dated for three years, until they broke up and he moved back to Pleasant Port.

Back in town, he found out that Scott Mason was transferring the record store, and Tim decided to buy it. He has been the owner of that store since then.

Love life, and similar

Tim met Allison during the Pumpkin Fest in 2006, when after going to check the Clarins Mansion to make sure it was safe to be used for the town activities, they went to the dance together, and slept together afterwards. That was the beginning of a relationship that Tim is not really sure of how to define, even if mostly they slept together, and they never dated each other or anything despite the fact that they spent the New Year together, and got out together in several occasions. When she abruptly left town in 2007 Tim had to leave town for several months to forget about what happened, and she haven't heard from her since then. She's back in town now.

Enemies

Saying that Tim hates Luke would probably too much, but what it's sure is that Tim really dislikes him. The main reason is because Luke slept with Tim's best friend a lot of years ago, and they fighted because Tim thought that Luke was taking advantage of Adela. Recently he fount out that Luke is also Allison's best friend, and he's not really sure of how to deal with that.

Past interactions

Character	Which kind of relationship they had
Allison Hodge	Since Tim met Allison the day before the Pumpkin Fest while going to check the Clarins Mansion, he fell in love with her. Their first date (or what he thinks was a date) was when they went together to the Pumpkin Fest dance on Halloween's eve and they end up sleeping together. Even if he kind of asked her out, it was never clear if they dated or they were only friends that slept together. She moved out of town all of a sudden, and because of that Tim is really upset and not trusting women at all (it was his second broken heart)
Maggie Felix	She worked at School Kids Records and got along really well with Tim. She moved out of town and they call each other when it's an important event (Christmas, birthday), but they don't really stay in touch.
Jesse Thompson	Jesse and Tim met a lot of time ago, in high school. Their parents knew each other and they were close friends, so one summer they did their first road trip together, from coast to coast in the US. Then their lives lead them to different places in the world, and even if they kept in touch and Tim still considers Jesse one of his best friends, they don't see each other as much as Tim would like to. Jesse came back in town for a few months in 2007, but then he left again.
