SECRETS: Travis has a huge collection of lego pieces, which he still plays with. He claims, if caught that it helps him relax but in reality, he just likes putting the pieces together to create new things.
PERSONALITY: Travis is a stubborn, thick headed person and determined to be different than his parents. His upbringing was one of money and he honestly hated it. He never saw his parents except for special holidays. Travis is a smart guy with a good, responsible head on his shoulders. He thinks he’sfunny but he’s not going to be the next big thing. He’s very charming and has an excellent bedside manner. Travis is a people person enjoying the company of others and helping them out. He wanted to do something with his life and medicine seemed like the best option for him. He’s quite athletic switching from surfing to a couple different sports to keep active. Despite putting a smile on his face, he’s lonely and he would never admit that without enough alcohol to knock out an elephant. Travis has a big heart and adores kids, having two nieces and a nephew on the way! Travis is more on the loud side than the quiet one. It takes quite a bit for him to find his temper but he’s got one buried deep inside. He voices his opinions without worrying about upsetting people because he could always apologise for it later. He’s independent, not needing the help of his family anymore to solve any problems.

HISTORY: Stirling was a small part of a bigger city and that was where Travis was born. Kenneth and Suzette were proud parents but hardly emotionally available to their three children; Travis being the youngest. Suzette owned a PR Firm and all her time went to that. Kenneth was around a little more but not much. He spent the better part of his time at his law office in Perth. The Merrick siblings, six years apart, had a nanny taking care of them throughout their entire lives. She was a good nanny, a bit eccentric but she cared about the siblings and that was the point. Life was basic for him growing up. He went to school, got excellent grades, graduating at the top of his class. He surfed throughout his entire life and took up skateboarding as a child to get around the city with his nanny when they went for walks. With his sister being six years older than him, they didn’t have much in common. Maxine had cheerleading and well, whatever else girl’s did. He wasn’t interested.
High school was much the same for Travis. He filled his time with school, his studies and surfing. And college wasn’t much different for the youngest Merrick. He moved to Melbourne for school, getting an apartment off campus his second year with two friends. Getting into a good teaching hospital in Australia wasn’t difficult but Travis didn’t want to be in Australia to do his residency. Max was a lawyer in their father’s firm and doing good for herself, having married her high school sweetheart when they were through with schooling. Travis didn’t have any of that and he wanted to travel. There was only so much that could be done in Australia and he had done most of it growing up. He wanted out. So he applied to a few hospitals, mostly in the USA but in other regions as well.
He packed up what he could bring on the plane and moved to New York after getting this acceptance to their hospital’s Cardiology programme. He wanted so desperately to be a cardiologist and maybe make something of himself than just another doctor or member of an overachieving family. He wanted, eventually, to settle down and have a couple kids so he could treat them a hell of a lot better than his parents treated him and Max. Travis found a good apartment for him and filled it with new things since he didn’t have much more than his clothes to his name when he left Australia. And he adopted a dog after only a few months of being in the city because going home to an empty apartment wasn’t for him.
