Life Story (Required)
Tobias grew up on a small farming village on the coast of The Anglia Empire. The small unnamed village was generally forgotten by the lord of the land and was given very little attention, having subpar crop yield from its small dozen family sized hamlet. Knowing everyone and enjoying his quiet life, Tobias sought to improve his body and mind by becoming a guardsman, knowing full well that the handful of guards that protected the village would be too few and too under-equipped if anything happened.
Training for years and having done two tours in battles against bandits and rivalling factions for the lord of the land's bidding (despite never meeting him in person), Tobias returned to the village with high praise and commendation for his heroism and quick thinking on a few combat situations. Despite being offered a higher rank with a move to a capital city, Tobias declined stating that he would rather stay at home from then on.
One unfortunate and haunting night however, the town was pillaged and razed by raiders from the sea. Fighting off as many of them as possible, Tobias was unable to aid in the evacuation of his family and friends. He suffered watching his family home and possibly its occupants burn down before his very eyes. Together with his Commanding Officer, he was trapped soon to the edge of the village. Wounded terribly by arrows and slashing wounds of his enemies, Tobias lost too much blood and passed out even after putting up a fight that lasted hours. In the haze and stupor, he only now remembers his CO chucking him onto the last remaining boat filled with the only other sole survivors of the village as his mentor turned and charged back into the fray of battle. His fellow passengers tended to his wounds hastily and rowed away from the village into the night; his last memory of the place was the orange blaze of the town against the night sky from the boat rocking violently in the choppy seas.
At dawn, the boat was picked up by a helpful travelling merchant ship, providing the survivors lodging and passage. Grateful, the survivors thanked the captain and followed the ship to its final destination to begin anew. However, Tobias disembarked the first opportunity he had, without saying so much as a goodbye to his last members of his villagers. He knew he failed them and despite their kindness and reassurance, he knew he did not deserve their forgiveness.
Arriving now in Regalia, Tobias now plans on rebuilding his physical strength and to hunt down the raiders, even if it meant everything he had left.

- Tobias has no position in Regalia having been a wash out. He is now starting with nothing and working his way to build his strength, physically and influentially. They have only just arrived and now seeks occupation while living in the sewers.
- Tobias had a relatively quiet upbringing in a village on the coast of the Anglian Empire. Grown up there as a farm-hand and later enlisted as a guardsman, he had planned to living and die on that land content with its peacefulness and with his family and friends. He had three brothers and a pair of sisters. No nobility runs in his blood.

- Tobias body is very slender but muscular. He is quite pale but not to the point of lifeless-ness or of elven descent, he is definitely human, through and through. His back and chest now carry many scars and cuts from his harrowing escape he made from his town as it was raided. He is well shaven however and hence has little body hair.
- Tobias does not wear any accessories. Tobias tends to mono-chromatic colours like black to grey to white, however he does incorporate red as part of his tastes. They would had owned a pair of short-swords when he left the village, but have now been confiscated by town guards. He now seeks out better weaponry and tends towards swords and shields.

- How does your character view Law and Authorities?
- Former guardsman, Tobias understands the needs and necessity of Law and Order. However, having been forsaken by his former lord of his land, he views nobles as generally being aloof and caring little for the working man. Nevertheless, he would try to hide these thoughts.
- How does your character feel about Races other than their own?

- Passive. He does not believe in religion, but knows about luck.
- How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?

Tobias is stuck with the curse of knowing his village burnt down and he was now one of the few sole survivors that managed to escape, fleeing unconscious and wounded on a boat with children and women instead of on the battlefield next to his commanding officers and fellow guardsman.
- What is your character's biggest fear?
- No longer fearing death, Tobias fears living without his purpose and living it without fulfilling it. He fears that if he fails to complete his missions, whatever they are, it will mean more harm will be brought upon those who do not deserve it, much like how he had failed to protect his village etc. He is haunted on quiet nights now with nightmares of his village burning and his loved ones blaming him for it. He decides to keep this fact to himself however.
- Tobias is definitely not a social butterfly; He prefers less small talk and more direct action.

Dislikes
- Tobias dislikes crowds and the noises it makes – the constant and debilitating noise they can make makes him uncomfortable.
- Tobias does not enjoy excessive flaunting, pride or show of bravado; he will generally think lower of the company displaying such.
- Tobias does despise those who plan to harm or disgrace him or his comrades; those stooping to undermine his or his company standing are deemed as low as insects.
