TOBIAS BLACKTHORN | NINETEEN | WHATEVERSEXUAL
[/b]  SARCASTIC | PSYCHOPATH | SUICIDAL | SMART-ASS[/b] this is tobias. he's kind of an asshole. after he stole his father's gun and shot up his high school, he was dragged off to ravenwood. he's been locked up in here for a year now, and while he's a loner and rather hard to get along with, he could use some friends. tobias is a bit of a patriot when it comes to escaping, so if there's anyone else out there who's looking for a way out, he'd be more than willing to team up. he's also drawn to people who share his obsession with self-harm (he enjoys exchanging 'scar stories'), individualists, and anyone who can match his intellect and witty sarcasm.
i'd also like to find him a brotherly figure that he can protect, as the only person he was ever close to was his much softer and much kinder brother, nathaniel. because of this, a part of him is attracted to gentleness, and he will go out of his way to protect those who are meeker and cannot stand up for themselves.
he doesn't have a lot of enemies, seeing as he keeps to himself most of the time, but it isn't a hard feat to accomplish, especially if you happen to be a psychiatrist. maybe you hate him because he's hurt your feelings with his sarcasm, or ignored your invitation to play checkers. equally, maybe he hates you because you're an arrogant bully or a shallow bimbo. whatever the case, his bad side is not a good place to be. i mean, he's here because he murdered the last batch of kids who wronged him -- who's to say he won't do it again?
as for romance? tobias doesn't believe in love. he figures that if his own parents couldn't love him, no one can, especially after what he's done. he often justifies the shooting, but deep down he knows he's a monster. he has a lot of self-hate that he's been suppressing, and because he is unable to see the good in himself, he doesn't expect anyone else to either. the way to his heart is a complex maze, and only the patient will be able to navigate their way through it. i'd like him to fall for the most unexpected person, preferably someone who is a lot softer than him. call me cliche, a hopeless romantic, but i'd like to give him a light in the darkness.
although, heed this warning. once he gets attached, he becomes head over heels obsessive. he will want you all to himself, and if he can't have you, no one can.

I think that Tobias and Elizabeth have some chance of being friends. Maybe a romance, I'm not sure. Elizabeth is definitely softer than him, being a low risk anorexia patient. They might bond over both having low self esteem. Who knows what might happen?

SOFIE & TOBIAS I really like the light in the darkness idea. I don't know if Sofies' character would be exactly what you were looking for but she's most definitely softer than he is. Sofie would understand the suicidal tendencies and I can see her being morbidly intrigued by what he'd done. It's not a pairing that I would have initially anticipated when I joined, but it could be interesting? Especially seeing them trying to navigate around Val, who definitely wouldn't be a fan of his (: |

ELIZABETH & TOBIAS
sure, let's throw them into a thread and see what happens. tobias can be hard to make friends with, but if elizabeth is persistent about talking to him and doesn't let his sarcasm put her off, there's a chance for a bond to eventually form between them.
SOFIE & TOBIAS
tobias would be intrigued by the fact that she possesses more than one personality. it'd give him, in a sense, a mystery to solve. if he learns about her suicide attempt, that would establish a bit of common ground and up his interest as well. i also do think sofie seems a lot gentler than him from what i've read on her profile, and tobias has a secret soft spot for people like that, so it is possible that, at some point, a romance could form. he thinks kindness stems from ulterior motives, so it'd be good for him to realise that not everyone is out to get him, and perhaps sofie could be one of the people he could eventually learn to trust in.

SOFIE & TOBIAS Sofie as Sofie would be an excellent person for trying to prove to Tobias that kindness doesn't always have malice behind it. I feel as though, for the most part, no matter how sarcastic or asshole-ish he came across she would just kind of take it, if that makes sense?
I don't know how long Tobias has been in Ravenwood but Sofie's been in for a few years. She doesn't talk much but she hears things. I imagine her trying not to creepy-stare whenever they're in the same vicinity, wondering if the rumors were true. There are a few different ways they could end up meeting - he becomes unnerved by her not so subtle staring, Anabel is out and beats around the bush before asking him, or Val could power in there and try to force it out of him? |

Elizabeth is someone who enjoys a bit of a challenge when it comes to people. It keeps things interesting. To be blunt, she's desperate for friends in this place, so I think she will be very persistent with trying to read him and trying to get him to let her in a bit. On how they would meet, there's variety of options. Any preferences/suggestions?

SOFIE & TOBIAS
he usually keeps to himself, the loner that he is -- but if he caught someone staring at him, and it was a repeated offense, he'd definitely approach. perhaps, depending on how things go, one of her other personalities could come out later on in the thread and be more demanding? he may or may not give a truthful answer. in any case, all those ideas could potentially work. if that sounds like a plan, maybe you want to start a thread? i would, but.. in this case, i do think it makes more sense if sofie has the first post.
ELIZABETH & TOBIAS
well, tobias is quite the challenge, so that should keep her busy for a while. he doesn't often make the first move, unless the other person gives him reason, so elizabeth might have to approach him. maybe she could bump into him in the art room? i noticed from her profile that elizabeth likes painting? tobias is somewhat of an artist himself. except, he likes sketching portraits.
COOPER & TOBIAS
tobias has gotten quite good at sneaking around and escaping the guards during his time at ravenwood, so them meeting shouldn't be a problem. he'd definitely appreciate her reciprocated sarcasm, as most of the people he's come across seem to be dimwits who take him literally. maybe they could meet while he's on one of his escape attempts. he's always roaming the hallways and poking his nose into the backrooms to try and find a way out. do you have any ideas?

SOFIE & TOBIAS
I would say there's a good chance that Val will make an appearance, especially if she gets too uncomfortable. Also, here is the start.

She does like painting, and would appreciate someone who was also into art, whatever the kind. That sounds good. Shall I start a thread or you?

ELIZABETH & TOBIAS
could you start one? if you have the time, of course. i'm catching up on a few threads currently.
