Name:
Tobias Avery Williams
Age:
25
Power:
Tobias is half-wolf. This separates him.from other werewolf types, because he was born not made. Instead of only having to deal with transformations once a month, he has to endure a physical change two nights in a row, and a personality change for three days. His metabolism is absurdly fast, and because his organs reshape themselves regularly, Tobias can get away with smoking four packs a day. (The effects will still attack him eventually, but it will just take longer.) He is much stronger than his lithe frame gives credit, and his hearing and sense of smell are very acute. Tobias sense of taste is only slightly above average and his eyesight is poor. He is also colourblind.
Desired Class:
Caretaker. He has a doctorate in an obscure branch of history and a masters in music theory, but for the moment, prefers to keep a low profile.
Personality:
Tobias is constantly at battle with his animalistic personality. His intensity comes from the difficulty of trying to balance his two sides, and failing. He is not a chatty person, but there are times when he will talk at length. The same goes fir physical affection. Classically Byronic, he has the gift of being a complete jerk and an attentive gentleman at the same time. Tobias very loyal, but slow to trust, and has a level of melancholy that can only come from living a poor Irish Catholic childhood. He is extremely intelligent and often comes across as arrogant. He has an addictive personality and is proud of the fact that he's been clean of uppers and downers for six years. Most of the time, he is too serious for his own good, but delights in bad puns and laffy taffy jokes. He doesn't like his personal space to be invaded or his authority questioned. Naturally dominate, Tobias has many traits that come with being a leader, but having a short temper and a split in his personality, he has acknowledged that it would not be wise to take on such roles until he has settled into himself. He is a good listener and an excellent shoulder to cry on, but his stoic and intense nature keep most people at bay.
Appearance:
Standing at six-foot-six, Tobias is frighteningly thin, weighing only one-fifty-five. During the winter months, when his metabolism slows and he feels the urge to hibernate, his weight will jump to a more solid one-eighty, but he sheds, what he considers- the excess weight quickly. Tobias' features are aquiline; a boomerang jawline balances out a large, narrow nose. Like most Celts, he has thick brows and thick black hair, which he prefers to keep long. It tends to curl if he doesn't comb it.. He has high, hollow cheekbones and ice chip eyes that glint with a hunger both for basic feral needs, and intellectual.. When he enters the room, it is with a quiet, testosterone charged lope. Tobias is rarely clean shaven, but is sometimes so lazy, he'll get a very nice thick beard before he even thinks about trimming it back to his standard five o'clock shadow. He only ties back his hair for special occasions. Usually, he wears contacts, but will sometimes wear what his daughter calls his Atticus Finch glasses.
Tobias normally dresses in nice jeans and button shirts, sometimes flannel but mostly cotton. More recently, he has had to invest in a few belts and he has traded his Doc Martins for a softer shoe, but will still wear his boots on the job. After all, it was very difficult to find them in his size. Tobias used to have a number of piercings in both of his ears, but now only has a nose ring, which he'll play with if he's nervous. He also has a self-inflicted scar running the length of his left forearm. It is thin, jagged and the skin is slightly raised.

Weaknesses:
Tobias has a history of drug abuse, often using as an attempt to suppress his wolfish side. He has been clean for six years, but will occasionally still drink. When he gets very drunk, which is usually around Christmas, he'll slip into the Irish without realizing it. He was also very small and fat as a child, and fears becoming "Tubby Tobi" again, but he loves food. So he often goes between binging and restricting. He Smokes four packs a day and continually drinks black coffee. He has difficulty controlling the animal side and during the full moon, doesn't know what he's doing.
Strengths:
Tobias is a logical person, and takes every step possible to keep himself in line during the full moon. Usually, he locks himself up, or at the very least, he finds a secluded spot in the woods. He is very loyal and an excellent pianist. He can make a mean Captain Collins.
History:
Tobias was the first born in a large Irish family. He grew up in Limerick with his five half-brothers and sisters. For a short time, he took company with a rough crowd and picked up smoking. He was wild and rude, and today, he regretās it. This is also the main reason he so private. Sometimes, however, the ārock starā hiding inside him likes to get out and itās usually during a full moon.
At the age of fourteen, Tobias took a placement test and was recommended to move up to college courses the following year. At the local college, Tobias met Samantha Johnson, an American exchange student who was eight years older than him, and they became heavily involved with each other. They separated shortly after the birth of their daughter Amelia, who is ten.
After receiving his teaching degree, Tobias moved to America to start a new life. He worked various labor jobs until his citizenship was granted. Eventually, he wants to go back to school and receive his doctorate in World History.
IC:
The bedroom window was always open now, in the thick of summer, and Tobias laid folded in half on his too small bed listening to the world move away from him. He was trapped in the unforgiving confines of a dorm room at a correctional facility, while the rest of the world busied themselves with their livesā¦their happy existences, turning up their noses to the likes of Tobias because he could never have a life like theirs.
He pursed his thin, cracked lips, listening to the mocking bird sing outside his window. How ironic, he thought, that such a bird would scoff at the likes of my existence. Pathetic.
As a tenant of The Majestic Gardens, one was derived from certain worldly privileges. Some of which included a razor, so suicide was no longer an optionā¦that is if one were wanting the dramatic beauty of blood involved in their death, contact lenses (for whatever reasons, Tobias was unable to unearth), the right to gallivant freely in society (unless you earned a day pass and went with a group), and the right to privacy (this of course included taking a piss without someone watching. For āyour safety, dearā.) Yes, Tobias had learned that staff feared a great beast snaking up from the toilets to devour the souls of the junkies.
Theme Song (just for my fun!):
I'm a Man -Bo Diddley
Happiness is a Warm Gun -The Beatles
The Boxer- Simon and Garfunkle
Also, I wanted to clarify his accent. I'll use Colin Farrell vs. Cillian Murphy as the example. Here's Farrell:

What that is: a standard Dublin accent. Tobias is from Limerick, so it's going to have more of a southern sing-song twist to it.
This is the closest I could get to a Limerick accent without pulling up Frank McCort. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfzUNzmmWwo
Now this is the standard Cork accent, which is far South of Limerick, but this is about how Tobias sounds...anyway.
