Tony Canoli

Regular Attire

Tony Canoli, aka Crazy Tony, is a character portrayed by SheriffCheese. He is currently one of the 5 founding members of the PP Boys and one of the owners of the PP Arcade.

He is also a secret member of the Yakuza, a long standing criminal organization.

## Background

Tony Canoli was born in the Philippines on June 6, 1999 to a Dentist & an Appraiser. Early in his life his father, who was the appraiser, would save enough money for them to move to America. Specifically to Vice City, a city in which his father called "South Beach of Dreams."

However, as Canoli's life progressed his parents were virtually not there, his father's work taking over his life and never being at home, while his mother turned to alcohol and raised Canoli almost by herself (doing a terrible job of it). It came to the point that his parents divorced and Canoli mostly stayed with his mother.

During his teenage years, Canoli would unfortunately get caught up with the wrong crowd in Vice City, eventually meeting a street gang in a hot summer day, being mugged and held at gunpoint but eventually taken in by the gang. It was there where he would move into a life of crime. Robbing banks, store robberies, car jackings, anything involving crime, Canoli would be apart of. Eventually his parents found out about his terrible habits and kicked him out of their home, proclaiming he would never amount to anything in his life.

Things took a turn for the worse when a botched bank robbery resulted in him being arrested by Johnny Cassidy, who caught him in the act while trying to steal a car. He was handcuffed and sentenced to jail for bank robbery and kidnapping. He was released on parole but then managed to escape it and secretly used his remaining money to take a train over to Los Santos.

## Personality

Crazy Tony is known for being insanely energetic and charismatic. His energy and full of life attitude is consistently noticed by the other PP Boys, who praise him for his consistent energy regardless of any situation. He is also extremely social and has an uncanny ability to always strike up a conversation with anyone he meets.

Whenever he's around people he cares for (aka his girlfriend), he gets easily flustered and stumbles over his words. Mainly because of the fact that he never has had a proper relationship and expresses his feelings in the most literal way possible. Whether it would be by consistently expressing his emotions by words or by actions, his "expression" of emotions has been greatly noticed by his girlfriend, Brooke.

Before he became a PP Boy, he was originally a member of the OG Vagos, where his energy and excessive energy translated to violent tendencies, to the point where he accidentally knocked out a Police Officer they kidnapped with a baseball bat because of his hyper energy.

After the departure and the subsequent end of the PP Boys, he moved to New York City for a little bit to help his "dad" Carlos run an underground fighting club, it was also around the time where he met a dude named Joey and it was him that slowly delved him to return to the life of crime. It was there where Tony decided to return to Los Santos, now no longer giving a fuck about the judgement from others about himself or the people he chooses to affiliate with. His attitude has changed, becoming slowly more unhinged at the thought of being judged for looking out for himself, and affiliating (eventually joining), the infamous Yakuza clan.

## Relationships

### Romantic

* Brooke Fair - an aspiring EMS worker and Tony's girlfriend who Tony met through Hallelujah Goodwin at a random party at the abandoned Vespucci Police Department. She shares similar experiences with Tony with her past in Vice City. Tony deeply cares for the innocence and lack of life experiences she has and wants to give her more experiences. They became official during a party near Paleto Bay, and Tony confirmed that Brooke was his first legitimate girlfriend. Tony is easily flustered whenever he is around her, trying to make sure he does nothing to embarrass himself around her. His feelings for her are very open and he is not afraid to share his feelings and affection towards her, whether it be consistent kisses on her forehead or her cheek.
