Background:
Ticky's actual canon background is still a bit blurry, however, due to the nature of the game I apped him at previously, I had to headcanon a lot of his background. I tried to still keep things fairly rough and flexible, BUT I will be answering this section with both canon and the headcanon I included. The parts that are headcanon are basically everything until he joined the Noah, including how he joined the Noah and how joining the Noah affected him. That said, Ticky's general background (was a harmless, uneducated, street savvy hobo until ten years ago and then got picked up by the Noah after his Noah awoke) is all stated or heavily implied.
Ticky was born in Portugal and doesn't remember having any parents, his earliest memories are at an orphanage that he ran away from at a pretty young age to live on the streets and fend for himself. He fell in and out of various child street gangs, and learned to both cherish the company of others and rely on himself. Still, his childhood was really pretty awful, and Ticky's cleverness was not always clever enough, he ended up in crappy situations like rape, starvation, and stabbing. However, because he didn't really know a better life, he grew up to actually love what he had. He made friends, learned to survive, and was never chained down by anything.
In Ticky's teens, his Noah awoke. It was excruciatingly painful and when it was over he had a... not a voice, exactly, but a memory/feeling/identity in his head that loved/hated humanity and was obsessed with pleasure. It also took pleasure in some very sadistic things, so while Ticky's enjoyment of say, smoking, playing cards, or hanging out with friends was enhanced, so was his enjoyment of beating the shit out of people, having power over them, and torturing them. This desire to hurt/inability to not enjoy it, combined with the fact that Ticky was picked up by the Noah, who became his first and only family and actively encouraged him to listen to the Noah, resulted in Ticky accepting his fate as a Noah, much as he had previously accepted his fate as a homeless vagabond. He took the same overall philosophy of enjoying what you have, making the best of it, and fell full tilt into crazy ass villainy.
While he'd never been the most moral person, he was still a pretty decent guy until all of the Noah stuff happened. And yet, a part of him was still unwilling to let go of his old life, perhaps couldn't let it go because his life as a semi-decent thieving hobo gave him pleasure, so he divided himself. In his 'white mode' he continued to play the role of a strangely likeable, cheating, scruffy vagabond, and by utilizing the power of the Noah, he could take on a 'black' form, during which he played the role of a young lord, member of the prestigious Camelot household, charmer of rich young ladies, and also full time villain for the Noah who rips people's hearts out for lulz.
The Noah are a world destroying family who are possessed and empowered by the memories of the Biblical Noah, but unlike how the story is told in the Bible, Noah appears to hate God and the Noah family has been seeking the destruction of God (and presumably the human race) since the flood. The Noah fight the Black Order, a secret branch of the Vatican which exists to gather divine material called Innocence, and train exorcists to use it as a weapon to fight off the Noah. However, the Black Order has been gradually losing, and the Noah often don't even take them seriously. Ticky is arguably the most actively dangerous member of the family, as he kills the highest number of exorcists in canon. Despite this, he is also arguably the least invested in the battle itself. He is basically killing people for fun and playing out his role because it's the hand he was dealt (and also he likes his family and is crazy).
