Travis may deny it, but unfortunately he doesn't have a lot of evidence otherwise: he is a total, stereotypical jock. While he's not as self-centered as he used to be when he was younger, he still boasts a lot of self-confidence, incredible skill at sports, the inability to pick up after himself, but exceptional skill at picking up the ladies.

'Course, he's not a very safe option for women; his first girlfriend ended up on the wrong side of the crazy fence, while another ended up dying in a car crash right after their particularly emotional breakup. Unfortunately, the reason for his strained relationships with women is the fact that he can't seem to keep it to just one. He desperately wants to be loyal, but the idea of being tied down scares him so much that just being in a relationship prompts him to make stupid decisions.

Which is another thing--Travis doesn't particularly have a lot of brains. Many have joked that Bradley ended up with all the brains of that Kane generation, but it's probably not safe to say that around Travis. He knows he's not brilliant, but saying his geeky brother is better than him? Bad idea.

Although Travis' relationship with his brother growing up was never all that great because of events that happened in High School, it steadily began to improve after they graduated, and now they could be considered friends. Though, they still find it in them to be competitive with one another, despite the fact that neither are really all that great at the same things. (Except, perhaps, video games.)

Lolly, on the other hand, shook her head in disbelief. "You have no idea what you're doing, do you, Travis? You scream no, and yet you know that Jade isn't giving you [the woohoo] that you want... And you know I can give it to you. So you took it. You didn't object last night... What gives you the right to suddenly call me the bad guy?"

-- Lolly Racket to Travis Kane
"Dire Decisions"

Although Travis has commitment issues and the usual Kane-family flaw of stubbornness and bluntness, he isn't what you'd consider a bad person. Though he willingly jumps into affairs without looking, it isn't to intentionally hurt his spouse or even because he loves the other person; he just can't help himself. Especially now that he has numerous children--and possibly one child outside of his marriage--Travis is increasingly self-depricating towards his cheating habit... he just doesn't have the willpower nor the brains to stop.

Overall, Travis is an optimistic fellow with a killer sense of humor, and a willingness to like just about anybody. He can frequently be found at the gym keeping himself in shape for his intense career as a Pitcher for the Twinbrook Llamas, or at the bar keeping up a nasty habit of ingesting way too much alcohol. But, be sure to keep your distance if he's just come out after practice; he's not known for being thorough in the shower.
