a deep dive into portraying yourself as something you are not, learning how to trust others, and going the extra mile but never letting anyone else see it.

no tiva. tony and ziva have never been in a relationship ( sexual or romantic ) and never will. as much as tony enjoys flirting with ziva and, yes, thinks that she’s attractive, flirting is as far as he’s ever willing to take with her. sorry, tali doesn’t exist either.
law two ,
i'm the wild card.
senior. tony and his father never reconciled. his father still disowned him, and he’s never talked to the man face-to-face since tony being disowned by the age of twelve. here and there, he’ll receive calls from his father, but they’re rarely personal and more than usually strictly business – or his father calling him in an attempt to control his life. conversely, tony’s father is a legitimate businessman who, yes, actually is a multimillionaire rather than fakes being one ( and he isn’t a conman ). this is the reason why he tends to attempt to control tony’s life –mainly because he thinks his son will give him bad publicity.

wardrobe he almost always wears a suit unless he's called into work on a day off or at an off hour.
OTHER he also has rather heightened senses: a keen sense of smell, 20/10 vision, and absurdly good hearing. he can be pretty strong as well, able to break a bullet-ridden windshield and ripping it off while underwater, as well as generating enough force to rip apart a locked steering wheel while underwater.
it’s hard to figure out what belongs to his mask of a clown and what his true personality is – even people who have known tony for over a decade haven’t quite figured him out. the mask has him play as an idiot juvenile who has never quite grown up, and someone who definitely notices the ladies.beneath the mask, however, lies a rather intelligent man – not only competent on the field and in areas of physical education, but also intellectually. he is a lot smarter than most would give him credit for, with an ability to think laterally and make connections that most could not. he is also a lot more respectful of women than he pretends to be.tony has ptsd and depression; although, he pretends that he doesn’t. he is very good at pretending that his symptoms does not exist.
tony was born in long island to mary dinozzo née paddington and anthony vito dinozzo senior. both of his parents were alcoholics, and his mother suffered from severe depression and other mental health issues ( she drank all of his sea monkeys once when he was five ). his father, when he noticed tony, was often very exact and made certain that tony knew of any displeasure he might have felt against his son. when he was eight, his mother attempted suicide, and she was found dead by tony.
ever since then, his father had gotten angrier and, perhaps thankfully, withdrawn more, leaving tony behind in a hotel in hawaii for three days when he left hawaii, only realising he left his son behind when the room service bill was sent to his credit card. his father, when he was with tony, would often blame tony for his mother’s death, citing that having tony was the start of her spiral into depression. at the age of twelve, his father disowned tony and sent him to various boarding schools, most of which he would get himself expelled from until he reached the rhode island military academy, where he settled down and graduated with honours.he went to ohio state, where he played both football and basketball professionally. he was also the team captain of the basketball team, and one of the football team’s star players. he was going to become a professional basketball player when his leg was broken during a football game by brad pitt ( no relation to the actor ), ending his professional career before it began. another thing of note is that, before his leg was broken and while he was still on track to becoming a professional, he went to baltimore to play in the big four conference and saw a burning building the night before the game. he went in and saved a little boy, but had to leave his little sister behind. this, along with his leg being broken, helped him realise that he wanted to be a cop instead of being a professional basketball player.he went to the police academy and graduated with honours there as well, and he was accepted as a police officer in peoria. after working there for two years, tony thought it was time to move on and decided to make the move to philadelphia, where he became a detective and became one of the youngest detectives to date at philly pd. ( he also had a perfect score on the detective test. )
it was there in philly, approximately a year after he arrived, where he went undercover to fool mike macaluso, the leader for one of the italian mobs in philly. he was undercover with the macalusos for a year in a deep undercover assignment before he gathered enough evidence to put macaluso away for good in baltimore. since he, and his partner, would be in too much danger if he stayed in philly, he left without telling his partner zoë keats goodbye, much to her befuddlement ( since she was not given the details of his undercover assignment ).he decided to move to baltimore since he already had an in with the police department after taking down macaluso. tony became a part of the homicide division, with danny price as his partner, occasionally lending a hand to people in the vice and narcotics and the transit detail. it was when he found out his partner was a dirty cop and after he met leroy jethro gibbs that he decided it was time to move on and become a federal agent at ncis.ncis had been a rather fun jig at first, even with gibbs’s lack of festivity, but tony enjoyed learning from gibbs very much so. the two of them often went through a change of probies and other agents quickly, the one staying the longest out of the bunch being vivian blackladder, but, for a lot of the time in tony’s early years, tony had been on a two-man team alone with gibbs. then, right before his two year mark, kate todd was added onto the team, and history was made.
