[cs=2] [style=text-align: center; font-family: open sans condensed; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #dedede; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]FULL NAME Tobias Rain, his middle name forgotten years ago--but that's of little import. Rain was an odd nickname once, but his last name is kept out of conversation these days, so just the first name works well enough. BACKGROUND Originally from Orre, born and raised in Phenac City on August 17th. His youth was without much trouble, the normal years of a happy family living their medicore lives in that desert oasis city. Given his first pokemon at a young age, an evee he'd named 'Ryxia', the boy was well on his way to becoming a future pokemon trainer. All kids his age wanted to live the dream; travel to distant lands, capture exotic pokemon, battle with the best, and live exciting lives outside of the homelands they came from. Tobias had high hopes to become one of the strongest even from that young age, he'd make his family proud someday. This was before the peaceful land dried up, and the city fell into slow decay. Around his 13th birthday, a slow draught in the area started to lead many families to flee the city, the population of each town shifting to fit the needs of the people in what began as water and food shortages. Life still continued on, Tobias and his family remaining in Phenac even as things gradually got worse slowly over the years to follow. His parents both worked for the Pokemon League for years, and encouraged Tobias to follow in their footsteps once he reached a mature age. Fast-forward 4 years or so, Tobias and his family are in disarray over the water wars finally playing a major impact on the household life. Older now, his parents, best friend Roy, and long-time girlfriend Erin finally decide it's too difficult to stay in Phenac City, then following after the many others before them and heading to Pyrite Town. Adapting to the new lifestyle was difficult, but things began to worsen in this new town not too long after their arrival. There was a lot of crime and illness working it's way around, with increased riots and tension going on in Pyrite Town now with the political involvement of Cipher. Tobias hoped Cipher would be able to help set things straight in Orre, but with people flat-out refusing to be ruled, it was only a matter of time before something bad happened. And it did. A bloody evening with insane fighting in the streets, Tobias' father was trying to reason with whomever he could, but was caught up in the disaster and killed. His family's ties to Lux were discovered shortly after, they were blamed for the shortages and targeted by the residents of Pyrite in a brutal riot only days later. His mother was beaten and murdered first, Roy demanding that Tobias and Erin flee Pyrite ahead of him and he would follow later. The plan fell apart, Roy was killed in the street along with Erin, and Tobias was forced to run for his life. Barely making it out of the area alive and becoming stranded in the plains, the young man changed for the worse beyond that point. He grew bitter, was forced to make his way out of Orre and took shelter in Kanto for a time. The goal to become a pokemon trainer became his maddening desire to kill the bastards that murdered his family, and Lux became the subject of his hatred for failing to help them when they needed it. For years to follow it ate him away inside, until after tirelessly capturing and catching pokemon all across Kanto, he returned to Pyrite later to get his bloody satisfaction. Hell hath no fury like a lonely man scorned, and after causing some considerable damage to both the town and the people involved in the riot that night years before, Tobias finally got his revenge. The man fled the region again, this time with no plans to ever return. What happened in Orre leaves a horrible scar still fresh in Tobias' mind, having his actions in Pyrite only leaving an even bigger void in his heart. After the incident, Tobias changed his appearance and identity drastically, then enrolled in Nox to keep his crimes a secret from everyone. Now 22 years of age and on his own, Tobias hopes to find something right in his future to work hard for; regardless of how completely uncertain his future may be. Joining Nox gives Tobias hope to return the world back to the way it used to be, and he plans to rise in the ranks over time in order to try and make a difference on the front lines. The crimes he committed in Pyrite Town two years ago still haunt him, and he knows he'll be found out eventually. Until then, all he wants is to see Lux defeated in the war--no matter what it takes. SEXUALITY Bro is heterosexual, though given his circumstances he tries not to get too attached to anyone. Some bromance every now and again is still encouraged. OCCUPATION Wanderer. Consider Tobias to be a jack of all trades, but master of none. Part pokemon trainer, part Nox guerilla always on the move. The young man travels around pulling off odd jobs, training himself and his companions to prepare for the necessary battles ahead. Staying in any given place for too long puts him on edge, so staying a stranger is all he can do to keep his affairs private and his true identity hidden. ALLEGIANCE Going against his family's ties to Lux, Tobias follows the Nox movement with every fibre of his being. His main goal is to become better knit into the inner workings of Nox, to eventually earn his way into a higher position and be granted the power to make a difference in the war; no matter how small the impact might be along the way. He seeks redemption for what he's done in Orre, and wants to use Nox's influence to return the region to it's former peace. Though Cipher is appearing to want the same, Nox is where Tobias' true loyalties lie. TRAITS [/style]
