DEUS EX MACHINA PERSONNEL FORM
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.The Hunter
Name: Tobias B. DeLorean
Nicknames: Toby
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthdate: May 18th, 1996


Category: Death - The "intelligence" operation, in charge of gathering information and maintaining the network of Hunters. They gather the information prior to a mission.


Personality:
      Tobias:

          Tobias is the sort of person that is borderline annoying with his optimism and smug sense of self. While he strongly believes that things will always get better (and that everyone else should too so that things really do get better), he also believes that he's stronger than he actually is. In a way, he does believe in quite a number of impossible things. This had lead to him having a bark that's louder than his bite. For all his vanity and showmanship, he is quick to back down if he thinks he can't take someone on. As far as rules and guidelines go, he does believe in following them rather than breaking them. After all, if they were supposed to be broken why are they there in the first place?

          Annoying optimism aside, Tobias also almost religiously practices all sorts of relaxation techniques. His go-to type of relaxation is yoga as tai chi usually turns into a series of made-up martial arts moves and burning incense often result in small fires. It's not like he means for these things to happen -- he just gets excited. Maybe a little too excited over things to an obsession. He'll often take things too far, and will need someone to either tell him to knock it off or quite literally knock some sense into him.

          Speaking of the school of hard knocks, to Tobias fighting with a weapon is a rush. It's an exhilaration, something that's drastically different from his former life. He'll strive to come out on top and be the last man standing, to get in and out and be all around awesome. He is selfish in this regard, and quite often won't know when to draw the line or to quit. Did you just see how he took that other guy down? It was like, BOOM! Now he's just lyin' in a pool of red shame. Isn't that awesome?! But, uh, why are you all looking at him like he just killed someone? Shouldn't you, y'know, be congratulating him or something by now...?

          When it comes to his personal life, Tobias is evasive. He doesn't quite like talking about himself, and has no qualms about stretching the truth or lying outright. Or being caught in said lie; that will usually result in twisting the lie even further. Anything else is fair game, though more often than not Tobias may have no qualms about telling it to you straight.



Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Like many hunters, Tobias was plagued by shadows growing up. His family dog could only bark at so many before being banished to the outside, and his stories could only be told so often before his parents could write them off as nightmares. As far as his parents could tell, the shadowy creatures were nothing more than manifestations of bad energy and stress, though what a young child could be stressed over was anyone's guess. From then on, Tobias and his parents dabbled in all sorts of positive energy boosting techniques from yoga to crystal healing.

While out on a hiking retreat for troubled teens (because the city is often drowning in negative vibes and pollutants that just drag everyone down vs the outdoors with its pure air and the sweet harmony of nature), Tobias became separated from the rest of the group. After wandering around lost and jumping at shadows, he was approached and recruited by the hunters. His choice was obvious: become a superhero and actually fight the shadows that weren't shadows but totally groudy monsters? Sign him up!

His only regret is that the hunters who recruited him didn't agree to make his death look like he was eaten by a bear.

The Weapon
Name: Nevermind Nadia
Nicknames: Nada
Type of Weapon: Maduvu/Singhauta/Madu/Maan Kombu. Most commonly called "Maru." Learn more here! Or a bunch of nerdy stuff that I'm going to use as a reference/handy guide here!
Former species of weapon: Chimera Construct (Undead)
Gender: Female


      Weapon:

          Once upon a time, Nadia was nothing more than a Chimera constructed out of spare animal parts and miscellaneous materials. After a lifetime of having someone say "Nevermind Nadia" as if she wasn't even there, Nadia is left with a simmering loathing for just about everything and everyone she comes across. Her pessimistic view brings her to focus on the worst in those she comes across.

          Nadia loathes being seen as an afterthought. She wants to be there in the forefront, to be recognized for what she (and by extension, her hunter) can do. She accomplishes this by being incredibly loud. Unfortunately for her, only Tobias can hear her and her over-exaggerated reactions and comments.

DICE REFERENCE POST THING

Weapon Ability: Usable Twice per Battle
They Had It Coming - Tobias flicks his weapon out with the intention to cut his opponent. The fact that the cut is shallow or deep doesn't matter -- what counts is that he made a cut, and that his opponent is now poisoned. (Tainted Fang)

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


The Tainted Fang
The Tainted Fang is used for Fear attacks with a duration over time: poisons, burns, curses -- if it lingers and hurts, it falls into this category.

Relations:

Angel Made Out Of Snow (Stormy) ★☆☆☆☆
- A very nice lady made out of... snow... with... wings... ... ... I don't know who you're talking about and I'm not going to revisit that memory.

Gingerbread Man (Gale) ☆☆☆☆☆
- A talking gingerbread man smells nice. Sounds odd though. Can you eat something that moves and talks but smells delici- wait. I don't know who you're talking about or who you're referring to and you're not going to make me relive that memory thank you very much.

Room Information:

Info about the Room
Due to the trainee dorms filling up, the dorm basement has been once again opened for trainees to room in.


  • basement rooms mirror the trainee floor, room numbers going b01-b99
  • basement walls, ceilings, and floors are plain cement
  • basement rooms do not have windows
  • some aspects of the basement floor indicate it may have once been a medieval dungeon that was refurbished a long time ago. Random iron rings attached to walls, the occasional barred door, possible instruments of torture, and suspicious bloodstains are things than may sometimes be found in the basement.
  • the shared bathrooms of the basement are barely functional, full of rust, and the water runs like something out of a horror movie (roll 1d100 for suffering, if they roll under 80, something unpleasant occurs)


Amazing Room Feature:
b49: The room is full of large dolls, dressed in hunter clothes and coats. Some of them you may recognize as belonging to dead hunters. A tea party has been set up.

Room Furniture:
- Bedroll
- Six chairs
- Table
- Tea set
- Table cloth that's large enough to drape across the floor
- Several creepy dolls with hunter coats that some people recognize as bearing a very start resemblance to hunters they knew before said hunters died
- Temporary closet

Drabbles:

Character name:
xxxxx Tobias DeLorean

Link to journal AND/OR Quest Thread:
xxxxx [ b49 ] The Doll Room in the Basement Nation

Describe your character's personality in less than 30 words:
xxxxx Tobias is a teenager. Tries to be optimistic, tries to present himself in a way that won't enable others to look down on him, tries to hide his true self.

Does your character have a ship/ OTP? (pairing)
xxxxx Nope.

Describe your character if they were a vegetable:
xxxxx Turnip. You have to dig them up to get at them, and the bigger they grow the hotter they become.

What is your character's favourite music/ song/ piece?
xxxxx I suspect Tobias has had to suffer through various "nature relaxation" tracks growing up. I suspect something like this would be right up his alley. The music has a slow tempo, but the melody is sweet enough to prevent him from being bored to tears.

What is your character's hobby, if they had spare time?
xxxxx Hiking.

Is your character more arts, science, or sports inclined?
xxxxx Tobias is more into sports, and used to do it a lot as a kid. His anger issues got him kicked out of a little league due to unsportsmanship-like conduct. As such he's had to pursue the arts a bit in order to "draw out his feelings." He still likes going for hikes and wandering though.

What type of personality traits does your character gravitate towards?
xxxxx Confident, but not overbearing. He prefers the calm over the excited, and the more cooler and collected someone is the more likely he'll look up to them and want to be around them.

  33. Weak


What is your character's favourite colour?
xxxxx Likely something in this sort of colour, called "dutch teal"

Describe your character if they were in the opposite faction: (Hunter -> Halloween)
xxxxx While I could make an excellent Animorphs nod by referencing a Red Tailed Hawk somewhere in here, I think Tobias would make some sort of disgruntled demon. With a scarred up pretty face, he would be quite bitter towards the more hoity-toity of his species. I imagine him with an affinity for a dark magenta color. I'm tempted to say he'd be an Avarice demon specializing in either Greed or Wraith.

What would your character look like as the opposite gender OR 10 years into the future?
xxxxx It's difficult to say at this point since he still has the new character smell about him. I picture him as being more serious with a simmering anger. He wouldn't go to Sun, Moon, or Mist; he would either still be in Death or Life working on runes.

If your character was an Amityville Professor/ Divison Leader/ Horsemen Clans lead how would they teach others?
xxxxx Tobias is a hands-on sort of person and would very likely take either his whole division or a portion of the division away on a retreat/training camp, working on how to cope with an unruly weapon.

Who does your character look up to?
xxxxx No one currently. (Any hunter want a minion? PM me!)

What is a great weakness of your character?
xxxxx Being alone, being physically weak, realizing that there's no where to run.

What are their favourite foods?
xxxxx Hamburgers. He's a teen, don't expect too much from him.

Favourite fashion style?
xxxxx Throw it on and walk out the door. Messy, rumpled. Likes clothes that last and can take a beating.

Favourite minipet?
xxxxx None yet.

If your character was in a fantasy novel who would they be?
xxxxx Tobias would love to be Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. If he could be a ranger he would.

Describe your character as a mythical creature:
xxxxx If turned into one and being the aforementioned demon wasn't possible, Tobias would be some sort of fu dog except all snarls and snaps.

Describe your character as a Disney princess and/ or Villain
xxxxxRazoul; minor villain doing his job, but still a villain to the main character. Also quite forgettable to remember who he is.

If your character could travel anywhere where would they go?
xxxxx Nearest forest with camping gear and go for a walk.

If your character could confess one great secret what would they confess?
xxxxx I lied.


-----------

1-5 done!
