Appearance:
The foremost notable description about Tobias is not of his physical appearance but of the attire that he wears. Never seen out of a piece of finely dressed formal wear, Tobias cuts a suave image for himself. His typical clothing primarily consists of a white tuxedo jacket and trousers followed with a black shirt and a grey tie; the last piece of clothing typically casually undone. On his feet are a pair of very expensive looking black leather shoes that tie his sophisticated wear together. Everything about Tobias' fashion sense screams expensive and of the highest quality. More often than not, Tobias is seen with a lit cigarette in his mouth and a large pack of smokes can be seen by the large bulge it creates in his outer jacket pocket. The black holster strapped to his upper torso that is hidden perfectly by his jacket also conceals a pistol that he uses in times of great danger and mostly for show, preferring not to use it due to how messy it makes matters. The fact his pistol is currently out of ammo is also a governing factor, instead forcing him to use it as a means of intimidation by bluffing it is loaded.
His physical description on the other hand is a lot less impressive. Boasting a rather plain set of facial features, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about the size of his nose, mouth or ears. Had it not been for one fateful accident when he was a child, then Tobias would have escaped with a perfectly good set of hazelnut brown eyes. Instead, the only real distinguishing feature that is visible on his face is a plain black eye patch that sits permanently over his left eye. As opposed to covering a lost eye or wound, what Tobias' patch covers is something a whole lot more unsightly. Taking up the side of his left face in the direct proximity of where his eye is situated is what can only be described as a never melting scar of ice, even going as far to cover the entirety of his left eye.
Also of note is Tobias' lazily unshaven face which more often than note sports a five o'clock shadow. He has fairly bushy eyebrows and the colour of his facial hair is a lightly coloured brown that borders on passing as a dark dirty blonde. Tobias' hairstyle is usually kept in a very simplistic way, short cut length with very little styling. His facial expression is usually in the form of a neutral and disinterested look but can often be perceived as menacing due to expressing no visible emotion. His height is above average for a typical male and his physique is that of any well dieted and exercised male. Adorned on his fingers are a number of golden rings and further down on his wrists are several golden chains. One final noteworthy aspect of Tobias' appearance is that he never really shows any real genuine signs of expression on his face, instead sporting a neutral look at all times. In situations where the situation calls for it, a smile, frown or look of sadness can be forced.
Personality: Boasting many traits found common in big time criminals, Tobias is arguably the epitome of scheming, unemotional and cold in his actions. Having grown up leading a very warped view of the world, these personality traits can largely be attributed to his upbringing. One major fascination Tobias holds is that of computers and considers himself a fairly masterful hacker, having been involved in many crimes utilising such a skill. Others would generally consider Tobias a very distant and aloof character, down to his choosing not to make bonds of friendship. Instead, those around him are seen as nothing more than stepping stones for him to climb on upwards on his ambitious ladder of wealth and power. Additionally, despite the fact he may not look it, he's a talented practitioner of medicine through the use of herbal remedies. This mostly a result of researching cures to stave off his ice wound. His knowledge in herbal remedies means that he prefers using them when it comes to his Pokemon despite the bitter taste; not as if he would care nonetheless.
While Tobias may present himself as a calm and aloof individual, there are times when his personality can take a radical shift. Suffering from the ice wound inflicted on his left eye, there are times when the climate around him can get too cold and agitate his frozen side of his face. This leads to unbearably severe headaches that take a toll on his psyche, leading to extreme bouts of maniacal and insane outbursts. Due to this, Tobias has a genuine loathing of Ice type Pokemon and would sooner not be anywhere near in the general proximity of them. Another grievous fault to Tobias' character is that fact that over many years of smoking, the male has developed a severe addiction to nicotine. If he goes too long without a smoke, he tends to take it out on those around him and becomes difficult to converse with. Last but not least is his overconfidence in his abilities which more often than not can prove to be an undoing.
History: Born into the mysterious town of Lacunosa to the north-east of Unova, Tobias suffered a terrible start in his life after being abandoned by his parents. Never knowing truly who they were, Tobias would go his childhood years without the warmth and affection given to children who were fortunate enough to have loving parents. Not much is known as to why he was abandoned or who took him in, but the mere baby soon found himself in the responsibility of the town's orphanage. Given the size of the establishment, it meant the workers were constantly spread too thin in seeing to the needs of all the children. Having been abandoned by his parents and overlooked for the majority of his stay at the orphanage, these influential experiences would be the foundations in his aloof and distant personality.
After spending nearly a decade at the orphanage and by the ripe old age of ten, Tobias made a friend with one of the orphanage staff who had a passionate love for computers; a technology that had recently become available in the world. Forming a small mutual passion for computer technology, Tobias would spend most of his adolescent years understanding the theory and process behind such machines, even going as far as to develop expert skills in many of the fields, one of which being hacking. Around the age of ten was also when a key event in Tobias' life would unfold. The town of Lacunosa is primarily known for its proximity to the Giant Chasm situated to the north-east. Age old tales of this giant chasm being formed by a meteor crashing into lands while containing a terrifying monster were rife amongst the populace of Lacunosa second only to the ghastly rumours of the monster eating people who dare to venture out at night.
Although the majority state they no longer believe such foolish tales, it is perhaps odd that the whole of the town choose not to go outside at night. This ridiculous fairy tale in the eyes of Tobias was nothing more than a ruse to force children to go to sleep at bedtime. Determined to prove them wrong, the young teen crept out at night and headed down to where the giant chasm was located. After an uneventful night of searching for this terrifying creature, Tobias was unfortunate to come to the conclusion that such a monster did indeed exist and that it was blocking his exit back to the safety of the town. Realising an intruder had breached into its territory, the foul beast of ice attempted to freeze Tobias solid but somehow missed.
Unluckily, part of the freezing barrage touched Tobias. A rogue spark of ice had flicked off into his left eye and caused it to freeze up, forcing him to lose all sight in that eye. Biding his time by hiding under a dip underneath a boulder, the dragon like beast moved on and allowed Tobias to return home. Ever since then, Tobias has chosen to wear a plain eye patch over his wound to hide the fact he is suffering from such an abnormal infliction. No matter how hot his surroundings, his frozen wounds remain unmelting. Those who have managed to view his deformed eye have said it is as if his very eye has turned into a see through sheet of ice. This event would be one of influencing reasons for his absolute loathing of Ice type Pokemon and dislike for cool environments.
By the time he grew to the age of 18, he was discharged from the care of the orphanage. Unsure of what road to follow in life, Tobias turned to a life of organised crime, using his unrivalled computer skills to take advantage of company's faults to which he could embezzle funds and information from. This would ultimately lead to him pulling off a number of successful bank heists until one failed attempt at the age of 28. This particular robbery weighs heavily on Tobias' mind in the fact he managed to escape police custody but at the expense of losing his own Pokemon that he befriended from an early age, a fiercely loyal Magby. Choosing not to stay as a wanted fugitive in Unova, Tobias turned his attentions to the region of Johto after hearing of an infamous group of criminals working under the banner of Team Rocket. Fancying his chances of climbing the treacherous ladder of ambition, the male made his arrangements to travel to Johto on the Royal Unova. Tobias' road to infamy was yet to be completed.
