Tobias was born from a group plot with my sister and a friend of ours. All three of us are very into the Metal Gear series, so we toyed around with using characters from the series as bases and having similar dynamics. Toby came out kinda strange, a mashing of Big Boss and Ocelot. (Specifically from MGS3) I also really wanted to be a Dragoon, because between Kaine and FF Tactics I couldn't not. Everything really just fell into place from there, as it fit in well with the other two's histories. From there the character has really grown, as they do. But it's always funny to look at a character that inspired you and comparing them with your creation. Especially when they're as big of fails as young Ocelot.
(Though this is also a little terrifying seeing as how psycho both Big Boss and Ocelot become over the course of the series. Makes me worry for poor Toby. </3)
