Appearance
Tobias is a gaunt human with sharp, bird-like features and pale skin that looks like parchment. Their eyes are an unsettling, milky violet. They wear ink-stained robes of deep indigo that are frayed at the hems and carry a lute carved from obsidian wood that reflects no light.
Mannerisms
Tobias frequently taps their fingers against their chest in a complex, off-beat rhythm and often stares at people's throats while they speak, as if imagining the vibration of their vocal cords.
Personality
Tobias is an intellectual elitist who views the world as a poorly composed symphony that needs to be rewritten through chaos. They are cold, calculating, and speak with a terrifyingly calm precision, even when advocating for atrocity.
Ideals
Nihilism. Reality is a cacophony that must be corrected through the purity of silence and destruction.
Bonds
The obsidian lute they carry contains the only remaining copy of the Silent Octave scrolls. They will kill anyone who tries to touch it.
Flaws
Their overwhelming arrogance leads them to believe they are the only being in the multiverse with a truly significant purpose.
Quirks
Background
Tobias was once the head librarian of a prestigious musical conservatory until they discovered a series of scrolls describing the 'Silent Octave', a frequency capable of unravelling the fundamental bonds of the physical world. When the college board attempted to suppress this discovery, Tobias burned the archives to the ground, taking the original scrolls with them. They believe that true art can only exist in the absence of creation, and they use their bardic talents to observe how different civilizations scream when their foundations are shaken. Now a wandering nihilist, Tobias travels from city to city, gathering the 'sounds' of suffering to fuel their final, world-ending masterpiece. They care little for wealth or power, seeking only the total silence that follows the ultimate discordant note.
