APPEARANCE. To the average individual, Tobias holds a rather unassuming appearance. He appears to be a youthful human. Rather slight, he stands at only five feet and nine inches. Anyone who knew him when he was younger would be able to identify that he looks quite similar to his original appearance.
In reality, there is an illusion, perhaps even a lie, to his appearance.
A keen eye would be able to catch onto the fact that Tobias looks just a bit off. He lacks many of the blemishes and signs of age he should possess as a human. Moreover, the longer someone is around him certain aspects of his appearance may begin to stand out. For instance, his eye color, while blue, is entirely artificial and he is capable of changing it at will. Moreover, his hair feels entirely different from real hair despite looking the same. In fact, a great deal of everything about Tobias is artificial. Many of his organs and body parts have long been replaced. There is little about him that is, biologically, human any longer, to the point that someone in an earlier century may question whether he is really a cyborg or more of an android.

✧ THE DEPTH,
PERSONALITY. Despite what some may view as an entirely inhuman construction, Tobias presents himself as clearly being human through how he acts. Instead of being purely logical, he relies far more upon his emotions, perhaps a bit too much. Notably, he seems to lack a great amount of ambition, preferring to spend most of his time procrastinating and lazing about. The time that he does spend doing something is normally spent indulging in fantasy as well as he can. He possesses a love for the 21st century, oddly seeming to view his own time as quite backwards, though anyone from the 29th century may come to realize he may be a bit biased with time. As a result, he tends to enjoy indulging in literature, if it can be called that, meant for people far younger than himself and daydreaming.
Yet, it is often clear that Tobias does not quite belong. No matter how much he tries to blend in, he often comes across as out of touch in regards to most things that might be considered normal to most people in the 21st century. Moreover, he undeniably comes across as peculiar as he certainly appears to be searching for a job but never seems to find a solution. In reality, he is not truly seeking one but is using lying and illegal means to get his way through life.
Beneath the surface, a darker individual lurks. While certainly not someone others might not expect to be in possession of a bad temper, Tobias is not someone one might want to anger. His nonchalant demeanor can easily be replaced with a cold and cruel one. Moreover, his morals are far more questionable than they appear.
BIOGRAPHY. In the beginning, Tobias was the same as any other human. He had a particularly ordinary life. Unlike other individuals, his parents did not wish to become involved with the politics of the world- or so he had always been led to believe. In reality, his parents were people with many enemies. Just like many others, they attempted to protect the Earth against aliens, and just like so many others, they were people who did not know quite where to draw the line.
As a result, it was inevitable that they would one day make a mistake just a bit too grievous. Stepping across a line they should not have, his parents accidentally allowed the wrong information to fall into the wrong hands. It might have been fortunate that it had not fallen into the hands of aliens had it not been their son who paid the price.
His name was Doctor Ardent and he sought to create the perfect man. He believed that in his most natural form humans were imperfect. However, this was something that could be changed through science, and the discovery of the information merely confirmed, as he saw it, his beliefs. The monster was, in many ways, within. As a result, he was able to access the technology he needed. The Hardwicks had been individuals had been people he had not liked for many years. An accident was easy to arrange and it was even easier to take their child.
It took many years and Tobias- nay, he was RA-A2 now- grew older. Finally, they grew closer to success. However, it was by the work of his own assistant that everything went wrong. RA-A2 had to stay unconscious for everything lest the entire project goes wrong. Whether by accident or on purpose, his assistant had managed to awake the young man. The doctor was not sure what to expect. They had not finished the operation, so he knew that the young man would not be emotionless. However, what would he be like?
He did not expect the worst.
In a fury of anger, Tobias began to kill anyone near him, caught up within his emotions. As a result, one of the doctors involved, in an attempt to get rid of Tobias, managed to get a faulty vortex manipulator on him that broke when he got to the 21st Century. Stuck there, the now cyborg found himself forced to blend in with the humans of the past- a difficult task that he had no will to do and still has none to do. As a result, he has come to live in London and act as a particularly odd individual.
OTHER/MEDICAL INFORMATION. Due to Tobias' "accident," there is little about his body that is organic. It should be noted that he is, technically, incomplete, as the operation had never been finished, for better or worse; this is not something he realizes. While it does not appear to affect him in any large ways, it can occasionally lead to "glitches," which effectively may just come across as odd behavior or spasms to the 21st human. As he was designed in the image of being a "perfect man," he does not have much in the way of weaponry.
Outside of this, Tobias is in possession of a broken vortex manipulator- one which was admittedly already damaged to begin with considering his displacement. He currently has no idea how to fix it nor is he entirely sure if he wants to.
SAMPLE. Tobias had taken to sitting in the library. He sat directly by the window, scrunched up in a beanbag with a long-forgotten book in his lap. An almost dazed expression was on his face as he stared out the window, overly focused on the rain as it flickered against the glass. Thump, thump, thump. He held out a hand, artificial flesh touching the glass.
Almost immediately, a rather grim look crossed his face. Sighing, he tore his gaze away and clambered up to his feet. As the book fell out of his lap, he seemed to have finally noticed it. Staring at it for a moment, he groaned. "Too much work." Dismissing the object, he left it before wandering off. Perhaps he might go off to the archives. No one was ever there. It would be a wonderful place to merely daydream.
A large grin crossed his face at the idea and he immediately made his way for the elevator. Archives it was!
