## Troy

### Affiliation

None (current),
 Tri-Alphas (former)

## Personality and Traits

In Episode 1, Troy is presented as unwelcoming, embittered, unpleasant and rude, even the Tri-Alphas hate Troy; this was probably due to him not being able to be near Chad as often as he liked. He liked to mock 'morons,' which especially include the Main Character. He made enemies with the Tri-Alphas after leaving.

When he appears in Episode 10, his personality has changed dramatically- he is now almost the complete opposite of what he was before.

## History

Troy used to be a Tri-Alpha until being kicked out for currently unknown reasons. He is a bitter, angry individual, probably because of his expulsion from the Tri-Alphas. It turns out Troy is MCs dorm mate, and Troy is angry about having a roommate- his relationship with MC unreasonably becomes very hostile very quickly. After a number of hostile encounters with MC, Troy's overly unreasonable, moody and hostile temperament becomes too much for MC, and after the Tri-Alphas steal MC's guitar and beat up Troy, both get into a furious argument, which may result into a fist fight, either resulting in a second beating in hours for Troy or the MC getting beaten up (if the player loses); or the Main Character just leaving without further altercations. In the end, MC angrily leaves the room, with Troy visibly remorseful.

Troy is only seen twice before Episode 10- once in passing by MC and the Tri-Alphas, and again in Episode 8, where it is revealed he is in an intimate relationship with former Tri-Alphas President Chad- they speak intimately and kiss, all while MC watches. But Troy is re-introduced in the game, and is given redemption in Episode 10. He sees the MC while he is training with Dwyane, a martial arts instructor, he declares that the MC isn't his "enemy", and they then start training in the ring together and even strike up a cordial cooperation of some sort.

## Relationships

### **Tri-Alphas**

Troy was recently kicked out of the Tri-Alphas for currently unknown reasons, and they seem to hate each other, while Troy's hatred seems to stem from that he was possibly betrayed and stabbed in the back by this fraternity. The Tri-Alphas seem to hate Troy enough to randomly come to his dorm, beat him up and steal his stuff.

#### **Chad**

Chad and Troy's relationship is highly secretive, but seems to be in full swing and they seem close. Although Troy has nothing to lose at this point, Chad's status in the school is still considerable and this would be possibly tarnished if he was found to have a homosexual relationship with another young man.

### **Main Character**

Troy and MC had an awful relationship, and it deteriorated to the point of verbal abuse and physical violence, largely stemming from Troy's extremely unpleasant and angry demeanor. MC furiously storms out after they have a fist fight, and they never speak again for obvious reasons. MC only sees Troy once, and largely ignores him, while Troy seems slightly remorseful.

But in Episode 10, this relationship has changed, as both have moved past this. They then start training in a martial arts ring together and even strike up a cordial cooperation of some sort.

## Trivia

In Dr PinkCake's first AVN Acting Lessons, the Main Character (in his mid 30s) remembers how he had to share a college dorm room with a hostile student called **Roy**, and how he could only escape this situation by joining the DIK fraternity and moving into their mansion. This similarity between the names and situation is one of a number of remnants from when Being a DIK was conceived as a prequel to Acting Lessons, an idea that was later abandoned.
