Towas are incredibly masochistic and very slutty, tend gay when male and bi when female, and often want to be beat up to within an inch of their lives on the regular; their bodies are often covered in scars, many self-inflicted. They're really good at reading people and getting them to open up, at least when they're not immediately put off by his haggard and scarred appearance. They're very artistically skilled, and like to paint abstract images inspired by the innermost conflicts of other people, but they only do this when someone is particularly inspiring to them and lose interest once their work is finished. They're often chain smokers and heavy drinkers.

By default they are quick to anger and become aggressive when pushed, and they tend to get into a lot of fights and get a reputation as a troublemaker and as someone you shouldn't mess with. Then something happens, usually a betrayal (or seeming betrayal) by someone really close to them, which turns them extremely depressed and apathetic, not actively suicidal but often indifferent to the possibility of dying.

They're typically raised by someone who horribly abuses them, mentally and physically and sexually, to the point that they block out all memories of their childhoods. They often live on the streets or in shelters until someone takes them in, and they occasionally join the sidelines of gangs or other disreputable groups.

They originate from the visual novel Slow Damage's main character, and so that instance is their most central one.

Good threads/continuities to be introduced to the character are Smoke and who will wipe this blood away.
