Node ([Etc.] Trivia)

- When he was in his 20s he'd get roped into playing street craps with his friends (at the time), and he'd never win a single match. Thus, 'no-dice' started being his nickname. It eventually caught on with the scruffy, old drunkards in the area that also played, and they'd slur out the phrase so messily that it came out like 'node' (no-deh). This tickled Tano's friends so much they just kept calling him that instead, with the intention of aggravating the young cop. At this point, Node sounds more appropriate than his own first name.

- He ran away from home at 17 years old.

- Can't really remember normal protocols for detectives since he's mostly been treated like an office jockey/data entry worker for a good 20+ years....

- Favorite food? Impossible. He enjoys a lot of things, maybe a little too much!
   He's not like a billy goat though, he is a S T R I C T clean eater... when it comes to home cooking anyway. he gives quite a bit of leniency for restaurants since he usually picks 'nice' places as is

- Doesn't drink coffee if he has to make a drink for himself.... He prefers tea by large. Takes it hot or cold, but is more used to hot (a little too much work to make cold tea lol).
   Okay so he doesn't have a favorite food but he for sure has a favorite drink, and it is WATER (but after that it's green tea)

- Somewhat humble about his mental smarts; he's not a meathead, that's for sure, but he's not a brainiac. If there's something puzzling that he figures out he's definitely going to boast about it lol.

- Since he's purely pansexual, he had always been considered a bit of an anomaly by other peoples' standards and was used to being called gay for a long time, back in the day...
   He's not threatened by others standards of masculinity or insults thrown his way-- he KNOWS he's a badass manly-man daddy 😤😎 

- One of those people that just doesn't find music all that interesting so he doesn't have a favorite genre or anything. He will wordlessly tolerate whatever is put on the radio or speakers.
   This also goes for movies and TV. so yeah, Uncle Node will absolutely let you watch your animes with him.
   Please don't make him play a video game. Unless its an FPS (and you give him incentive to play), he's gonna bomb it on the most simplest of tasks, such as running or jumping or what have you.

- Shaves his face every day. (He once tried growing out his facial hair as a young man and was given SO much shit for it he vowed to never do it again lol.)

- Will travel for as small of a reason as possible if it means he can try good restaurants/foods.
   Since he's not too good with people he doesn't have a need for home cooking. He likes the privacy that restaurants afford him, emotionally! no amount of so-and-so's special, passed down ten generations stew or whatever can tempt him over for a personal dinner lmfao

- Drives like a fucking madman. Has a car. It's not really old, but it's also not new, just in-between.
   He keeps it very spartan compared to his living space. He would rather take the time cleaning that thing out than his own home. ...So he does.

- He has a very tidy routine every morning and if you get in the way of that, even if you're 'company', he will kick ya to the curb.
Wakes up at the buttcrack of dawn, goes for a jog, depending on what kinda mood he's in he might lift a few weights or do some push and pull ups, take a shower, THEN have either a black coffee or hot tea with a bland breakfast.
   This is like... His way of zenning out. DO NOT DISTURB. lol

- He is one of those losers who feels the need to comment in a catty, rude manner to things online without little remorse.
   Conversely, he has no idea how to run his own social media accounts, so he's always replying to other peoples things without making updates for himself.
   And of course he's one of those lecherous old pervs that leaves unnecessary gross comments on hot people's pictures...

- Doesn't give a flying fuck and will smoke indoors, 'cause that's how it always used to be, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. : p

- Speaking of which, if you had to make him pick out of which of his siblings he used to like the most, he'd pick none and go with Johnny.

- Is not proud of Travis' existence at all and is humiliated to know he slipped up. But the kid himself ain't so bad...

- Is used to people questioning his mafioso-tied last name.... and dismisses it with a very rehearsed 'you probably think it's a miss-typing of 'Antonio'-- it doesn't matter'.

- Has for sure hooked up with people that he's worked with over the phone, as most of them aren't tied with his actual unit.... (he counts that as not shacking up with coworkers, coughs)

- When his gray hairs started cropping up it definitely made him even more stressed lol

- If he owned a pokemon, it'd either be Zangoose or Scizor.
