w e i g h t x // x200 lbs
h a i r x // xTobias has deep chocolate brown hair that he keeps fairly short. The sides are usually shaved, while the top is long enough to slick back or style if he so desires.
e y e s x // xHis eyes can arguably be considered blue, but they often are a greyish tone. Tobias' father claims they are his mother's eyes, but he's never met the woman to know but they aren't his father's.
o d d i t i e s x // xTobias has a feint German accent. It usually is almost unnoticeable except for when he pronounces his w’s like v’s. When he is angry though, his accent gets thicker. More predominantly is that he is covered in tattoos and even some piercings. Most are self administered and done in part because he wanted to infuriate his clean cut and old school father.
a p p e a r a n c e x // xEverything about Tobias screams bad boy. He looks intimidating and… Well scary. He’s tall and muscular, very muscular. His shoulders are broad and lead downwards to a fit, slender waist. He’s like a walking wall of graffiti. His gaze is strong and cold hidden behind his pronounced brow. His square jawline, symmetrical nose and stiff mouth are as handsome as they are aggressive. Tobias is as enticing as he is off-putting. He usually sticks to all black or grey clothing. He’s usually in jeans and a sweater, even when he should be in things more appropriate for training exercises. Also, on very rare occasions, he can be found wearing glasses, usually when he’s reading or playing the piano.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
xxxxxxxxxxxx• x perceptive x • x sullen x • x vulnerable x • x guarded x •
He’s gotten a reputation without even trying. Comes with the territory of having a father like his. So, Tobias tends to keep to himself. He’d rather stick to himself than deal with judgmental stares and the endless berating of questions. He’s been referred to the brooding emo student at the academy. Instead of trying to fight the rumors or whatever else he just lets them fester. It’s not like he has to try to make them believe otherwise. His natural quietness, and intimidating presence is enough to keep people at bay. That’s not to say some of it isn’t true. Tobias’ past weighs heavily on him along with the internal conflict he feels constantly being torn between the academy, oppressive father and loving mother figure that’s on the wrong side.
What many people fail to notice, or try to get close enough to Tobias to find out, is truly how vulnerable he is. He doesn’t look it, but he feels things deeply. Underneath the rough exterior and intimidating presence, he is one of the most kind, caring and chivalrous people at the academy. Some hints come out here and there, like how he always holds the door for the women or gives a firm handshake to anyone he meets. Mystique often called him her little pitbull because people were scared of his aggressive stature and appearance, but like any well loved animal he was a teddy bear inside. He locked that side of him away as his father said it was weakness and someday, someone would use that to hurt him.
So, Tobias instead became fairly guarded. Erik always told him if he always kept his shields up then he could never get hurt. This makes him difficult to approach and even more difficult for him to make friends. Very few people get to see beyond the armor he was forced to put up because of his father. It’s become second nature, but every so often when he realizes he’s doing it, Tobias will let a crack in his shell appear. A fraction of a glance to the man deep down inside. But to most he’ll always be the tall, dark and brooding son of the enemy.

He wasn’t wanted, and Erik didn’t have to say it for Tobias to know. It wasn’t like he was the man’s first child. He knew of another pair of mutant children somewhere that were his siblings. But, no matter how much Tobias asked to meet them, Erik wouldn’t allow it. He had enough on his plate for two children, let alone three. At least the Maximoffs had a mother to take care of them, and he didn’t have to be bothered by them, but not this boy.
More often then not, Erik was off on Brotherhood business, leaving him in the care of whichever mutant was free at the time. His favorite was Mystique. Maybe it was the harbored love she still felt for his father, or what but she actually took care of him. She was the closest thing to a mother figure he had in his life. She tried to justify why his father was the way he was, but he didn’t care.
As he grew older, Tobias seemed to be a late bloomer. No evidence of powers or anything else of worth. Erik and some of the other Brotherhood mutants looked at him as a burden that wouldn’t allot to anything. He’d turn out like the humans they despised, worthless and in the way. On many occasions Erik threatened to send Tobias off to an orphanage because “even Charles Xavier wouldn’t take someone as useless as him.” Mystique talked him out of it, time and time again, but how much longer would that last?
Tobias always had a knack for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. When he was fifteen, he stumbled upon an altercation between his father and Mystique. Something deep down in him boiled, exploding out at his father when he tried to strike at her. All the pent up power within him unleashed on his father, an explosion of magnetic waves. The surprising thing… His father wasn’t mad but ecstatic. From that moment Tobias was no longer useless but a prodigy… an heir.
Erik spent all his free time from that moment training and pushing Tobias past his breaking point and back again. He looked at his son as the ultimate weapon, a legacy to continue on in his place when the time would come. So, when Tobias got the recruitment letter to the academy, Erik saw it as the perfect opportunity to put a plan in the academy… Tobias seeing it as a chance to escape. Mystique wasn’t happy about his departure but knew it was for the best. Unlike his father, over the several years he’s been at the school she’s made visits and calls regularly, while his father only checks in wanting more information about the Descendants and their next move.
