PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Human Form:
Tobias has long, straight, deep mahogany hair with copper undertones that he keeps tied back in a pony-tail. A neat and closely trimmed beard covers the better part of his face. A square jaw and slightly hooked nose give him a very rugged appearance. Deep-set eyes are dark brown laced and rimmed with vivid gold veins.

For body structure, Tobias is tall with broad shoulders and is covered in lean musculature. His physique is one of a hard worker, a man who has toiled many hours a day for many years. Because of his constant work in the sun, he has rich bronze skin, which has few scars. Not a solider, just a simple man. His hands are callous from working. There is a very pronounced scar on his left hand. Rather, a series of scars, obviously from a nasty bite.

Clothing and gear are practical, soft boiled leathers and either wool or linen, depending on the time of year. Colors are usually kept to browns, greens, and greys to blend into his forested hunting grounds.

Werewolf Form:
When Tobias loses control he becomes a hulking anthromorphic beast, towering over nine feet tall with bulging muscles, long, thick limbs, and deadly fangs and claws. In this form his body is covered in a short, wiry coat of browns and greys.

Wolf Form:
A very, very large wolf with a shaggy brown and grey coat. Think the size of a large pony or small horse.

PERSONALITY
Tobias can be a bit quiet, even to the point of calling him shy. However, he is truly a big teddy bear, always having a ready smile, kind words, and helping hand to offer to others. He's the type of person who has never really met a stranger, and generally finds he gets along with people of all shapes and sizes, as it were.

While he makes fast friends, with his drifting ways, he doesn't keep them anymore. Though if he were to truly form a friendship, you can rest assured that you would be hard pressed to find a more loyal pal. When it comes to girls, well, he never has been what you would call a pretty boy, but he's got an animal magnetism about him, which is linked to his werewolf traits.

Since his transformation he has become a little subdued and wary, afraid of losing control and hurting someone. However, not even that can really dampen his generous and caring spirit. He may be uneducated, and probably only of average intelligence regardless, but he makes up for it with a heart of pure gold.

BACKSTORY
Tobias was born outside a small town on the riverbanks in Adela twenty-six years ago, and has never once left his home country. Why go elsewhere when you already lived in the greatest nation of all? Not to mention traveling takes time and money that the Slate family simply did not have to spare.

He spent his youth hunting rabbits in the woods with his friends when he wasn't helping his parents with chores. They lived by the shore and his father was a fisherman. His mother was a housewife, but she also mended fishing nets in need of repair, both for her family and for the local villagers for paltry amounts of coin. They were not a wealthy family, but they never went hungry and they were happy.

Tobias remained an only child, but didn't mind it as he grew from boy to teenager, and finally to a man. Like his father, he took up fishing in his early teens, helping support his parents. Between helping his father with fishing and hunting local fauna to keep food on the table, he had little free time for much else. He never minded the hard work though, and was always a very happy young man.

When Tobias was eighteen the werewolves came. Then everything changed. Living out on the riverbanks away from the other townsfolk, they didn't have quite the protection that the people in the city did. Everyone was afraid to go out after dark. The local hunters did their best to thin the beasts that had suddenly plagued them.

One night the beasts descended in force on the small shack of the Slate family. While helping his father barricade the doors and windows against the raging animals trying to get in he received a nasty bite on his left hand. At first everything was fine, painful, but he would live. Within hours he was bedridden with fevers and chills, slowly fading in and out of consciousness until finally everything went dark.

Tobias does not know, and does not want to know, what happened to his parents. Mostly from fear of what he might have done. The next five years of his life are a complete blank. He remembers nothing of the time he spent as a raging monster. However, he does know that he had been captured in that time by slavers and used to fight, tearing other slaves apart for the amusement of others. He shies away from that knowledge, thankful that he remembers none of it.

The only thing that saved him was three years ago a woman by the name of Mable Sinclair recognized his condition. His form of lycanthropy had manifested in a very violent manner and she purchased him. The past two years of his life are fuzzy in places, but she eventually taught him how to regain control of his mind. It was during these two years that he learned to harness the form of a wolf, of which he was able to gain complete control.

He still cannot control himself when he becomes "the beast" as he refers to it, but he has learned how to avoid sinking into the mindless monster. When Mable deemed him to be "safe" she gave him his freedom back, sending him out to be on his own.
