- The second youngest child of Gwen and Roy Craven.
- Spent his entire life living in Miami, Florida. That'll always be home to him, too.
- Is the younger brother of Waking Midnight bassist Colby Craven. He's closest to him of all his siblings, though he loves his family equally. Just sort of clicks the best with Colby.
- Is a bit of a rebellious wild child but has a good personality and a good heart underneath all that attitude if you get to know him.
- Doesn't particularly have great luck with school. He was kicked out of public school in Miami, only to be put into a private all-boys catholic school in North Miami Beach. He was expelled and failed his senior year there for punching out one of the teachers over a verbal disagreement. The father tried grabbing Troy to physically push him into the head master's office and Troy floored him. Without thinking twice about it.
- Because of his experience in that school he pretty much hates the Catholic religion and priests in general. Thinks they're a bunch of pushy cunts and he can't stand that. All in all his view of Catholics are "blind, brainwashed, empty promise vouching douche bags" and he's pretty much a complete atheist because of this.
- His parents pretty much gave up after that with the schooling thing. Knowing that Troy was kind of a pain in the ass when it came to education. He'd tell you the same thing himself. He just has zero tolerance for the schooling experience since most schools in Miami are just generally bullshit, anyway. Not to mention how little the teachers cared about their pupils.
- Troy's incredibly mouthy, opinionated and stands behind his beliefs. If you don't like that, you're best to just steer clear of him. He doesn't hold back and he doesn't expect to be held back. Simple as that.
- His move to Pennsylvania was at the suggestion of his parents. After talking to Colby they all kind of decided it was a smart move for Troy to move up north, try his hand at finishing high school in a school that wasn't his usual environment with the usual people. Troy was reluctant to the idea but finally said, quote, 'fuck it', and went along with it. Though he's of age to make his own decisions and does so (OFTEN... not always in the best manner, though) he knows the importance of at least finishing high school.
- He's starting at West Chester East to end the 2009-2010 school year (last weeks of May into June) and is re-starting and refreshing his senior year at in the 2010-2011 school year. He still is highly skeptical it'll work and has said if he can't finish school next year he's done trying.
- In the summer of 2009 Troy became the singer of a Miami based band called Still Frame. When a blow out with the band caused their original singer to leave, Troy had gone to a few open call auditions to become their new singer. After meeting a few times and auditioning for the founding members three separate times, he was given the opportunity to join them and has been with them ever since.
- They've had two singles, "Lollipop", a cover of the Lil Wayne hit, and "Hear Me Now" which Troy wrote. Their current single, "You Stupid Girl" is the third single from their album "Built For Sin" which dropped on June 1st, 2010. The boys are touring on this summer on the Saints & Sinners Tour to support it with Kris Olavi, Wages of Sin and Luukas Kristoffer.
- Aside from singing, Troy also plays piano and guitar.
- Everyone has always assumed Troy's as straight as a board. He never really did anything to suggest otherwise either. Truth of the matter is, he's been 'confused' for the past couple of years about his sexuality. He's pretty much completely come out, after exploring a side that he never really tried because of not wanting to be reckless. It answered a lot of questions about himself. While he was sort of scared to explore that, he's kind of glad that he did. He does like girls though, has often dated around, though he's not very good in the relationship field. He has this inability to keep his mouth shut, even when he knows he should. He's in a relationship now, and is actually trying to work at it, taking it seriously, and giving it a decent shot.
- His only real vice is he drinks, though he's not legal to. He doesn't smoke and he's never done drugs. Never seen the point. But put a quart of Jack Daniels in front of him and he'll shot for shot you under the table.
- He has a really foul mouth when he wants to, but sometimes he's incredibly quiet and just stays to himself. Underneath the hard exterior with a loud, opinionated mouth... Troy's actually a really sweet, fun loving kid. His attitude is mainly from all the bullshit he's put up with living in Miami and going to school in the environment that he hated. It's kind of his defense mechanism if you will.
- He's kind of addicted to tattoos and tattoo art. He has a number of tattoos and his favorite one is a human heart tattoo on his forearm which signifies wearing his heart on his sleeve, which - he often does - in certain situations. He's upfront and honest and just leaves himself out there for better or worse. That's just how his parents raised him.
- He sort of idolizes his big brother and all he's accomplished in the band Waking Midnight. He's a huge fan of his brother's band and knows all the guys really well. He's been friends with the Dubois twins (Seth and Sebastian) as long as he can duly remember since their brothers formed the band and he knows everyone in the Waking Midnight scene exceptionally well. He treats them all like family and respects the hell out of the whole inner circle.
- He's kind of a complex individual but he's an open book. He'll talk to anyone, anytime, about generally anything. He tries not to judge people off the cuff since he hates being judged. But if you give him a reason to think you're a fucking douchebag, he'll generally ex-communicate you from his immediate universe. He won't tolerate assholes in his life.
