{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION} Tobias is reminiscent of a puppy growing into his paws. He stands tall, a bit on the gangly side, with the promise that he still has a few more inches to grow before he settles into his height. He came into the program on the reedy side, but in the half a year or so he’s rapidly begun putting on muscle, especially around his shoulders and arms. Part of this is due to the exhausting training regimen all Candidates are put through. The other part is because his response to standard ATC bullying is usually “right hook, left hook.”
As such, his tanned skin is usually scattered with some old and new bruising, though nothing too severe as to land him in medical. But it certainly has put him more on guard, his face typically pulled into a stern frown whenever he’s at rest. Though with full lips, sometimes this has a nasty habit of looking too much like a pout.
His eyes are a deep hazel blue, surrounded by long ash-blonde lashes. His hair, similarly light, grows into long, thin twists on the top of his head that he usually keeps tied neatly back. The underside he keeps in a tight undercut, and it’s only in the safety of his room that he lets his hair down both figuratively and literally.
Being an older candidate means he’s had a chance to live a little bit before being drafted into the Program, and several tattoos grace his collarbones and shoulders, though these remain largely invisible while he’s in uniform. He especially mourns his piercings, though, and there’s no doubt that by the time he graduates he’ll have to redo all the closed-off ones he’d previously had.
{PERSONALITY} JUSTICE; Tobias originally went into the military because he wanted to be a cop like his dad. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, though sometimes you have to wonder if he puts the same emphasis on the letter of the law as he does the spirit of it. Instead of simply taking his licks and enduring early-Stage hazing, he actively combats it. Both for himself and whenever he sees a younger Candidate having a particularly bad time of it.
NO BULLSHIT; Tobias was raised in a military household. His dad was police, and very stern though not unloving. As such, “excuses” were never really a part of his childhood. If something was too hard, it became a goal. If something was impossible, it became a challenge. Both his parents encouraged him to be the absolute best he could be, an example to those around him and a true Aedolian through and through.
BUT BULLHEADED; Because of this upbringing, though, Tobias really has trouble knowing when to quit while he’s ahead. He’s stubborn, often digging in his heels when the better option might be to compromise, and once he’s made his first impression it’s really difficult to get him to change his mind without some hard proof.
Fun Facts!:- Is trans! Thanks to his dad’s military rank he was able to get started on hormone therapy fairly early. Being drafted into Candidacy has also made it difficult to keep up with his shots, which makes him super grumpy once a month.
- Is very well aware that his dad isn’t his biological father, but is very insistent that that doesn’t mean a damn thing. Family is who was around.
- Lowkey a bit of a dweeb. Will totally do the peace sign in photos and selfies.
- Has a habit of chewing on his lips, a bit of a nervous tic from having gone without smoking in a while.
{SPECIAL ABILITIES}Telepathic - Passable, but needs some concentration. He’s not hit the “walk and chew gum” part yet.
Empathic - Instinctual, and hard to tell it’s happening just yet. But it definitely lets him make a guess as to who’s having a hard time of it in the ATC and puts him on guard for what might be the source of that hard time.
Psychometric - More of a gut feeling than anything vivid just yet, largely because of lack of proper practice. Certain objects “vibrate” to him though, catching and holding his interest for longer than others if there’s enough emotion tied to them.
{RELATIONSHIPS}His mom and dad, who he has a great relationship with and who are quite proud to have a potential Pilot for a son. His mother is definitely less surprised by it though.
A baby half-sister, only four years old. He has photos of her all over his desk so he doesn’t miss everything while he’s training.
{HISTORY}His mom met a newly graduated Pilot one day when she was younger, and Tobias was the result. He’s never known his biological father, just that he’d gone by “Toby” in the short time his parents knew each other.
