Toboe | Wolf's Rain | Not reserved
Contact Info: TheIrradiated@gmail.com and
Other Characters Played: Mary
Preferred Apartment: n/a
Character Name: Toboe
Canon: Wolf's Rain
Canon Point: Post-death
Background/History: Here and Here
Personality:
Toboe's considered the kid of the group, still a juvenile wolf while the rest of the group are all adults. This reflects in his behavior too, as he's more energetic, playful, inexperienced, and especially naive. He has trouble fending for himself, can be a little too trusting of others, and likes being coddled. He also has a childlike arrogance to him as well, claiming that he's fine when he's hurt or tired and pushing himself even when he needs to rest. He also hates being treated like a kid, and will get angry and protest whenever the group feels like they should slow down on his behalf.
Toboe is also the most timid of his pack, freezing up with fear or hesitating before he does something dangerous. He's scared of cats and when he first tries to find food on his own he's easily chased away after being pecked by crows. When confronted with a wolf hunter, he doesn't try to fight or run, but stands there bracing himself to get shot. He'll often need a little push first before trying to make a risky jump and when one of his pack gets captured, instead of following or howling for help, he runs back to tell the others instead, which proves that Toboe doesn't like to confront danger head-on.
There are times when Toboe overcomes his timid nature and risks his life, such as when his pack was under attack from a giant walrus. While at first he's too scared to move up, he suddenly snaps when he sees his friends getting hurt and charges forward to sink his teeth into the walrus, only letting go when the walrus finally bleeds to death. Another instance is when he and Tsume are captured by Jagura and they realize that Cheza could be hurt, which prompts him and Tsume to throw themselves against the bars of their cell to break free, even knowing that doing so could seriously injure them in their desperation to escape.
Unlike most wolves, Toboe is perfectly content living as a domesticated animal. Having lived with a human all his life, he's reluctant to have to live in the wild. After Granny dies, Toboe starts to seek out a new owner as a replacement when he comes across a human girl, and immediately tries to win over her affection. His idea of paradise involves seeing Granny again and having her take care of him, and he even temporarily leaves his pack in order to live with native humans who live alongside animals as equals, to which Toboe claims is his idea of a paradise. Even up until his death he keeps trying to find an owner that will take care of him, going as far to tell the wolf hunter that tried to kill him in the beginning, that he wanted him to go to paradise with them so that he could be by his side. He even offers the wolf hunter his body heat when Toboe finds him freezing to death in the snow, knowing that the wolf hunter would try to kill him if he woke up with him there. Also, having lived the life of a domesticated animal, Toboe is more willing to approach a human and tends to be more trusting and forgiving towards them.
Out of all of the members of his pack, Toboe is the most social of the group which has a lot to do with the fact that he hates to be alone. In fact he hates to be alone so much that he immediately latches onto a fellow wolf, Tsume, when said wolf rescues him. Despite Tsume wanting nothing to do with him, Toboe follows him around and tries to befriend him anyway. Likewise, the human girl he meets while trying to find food, he follows around and tries to worm his way into being her pet when she feeds him. Because of his need to always be around others, he tends to be the glue that holds the rest of the pack together. Whenever the pack tries splitting up, Toboe is usually the only one who gets upset about it and tries to talk them into working together again. Because of this, Toboe doesn't care whether he's in the company of wolves or humans, as long as he has others by his side.
Abilities/Powers:
Human Form: Toboe can create an illusion to make himself look like a 14-year-old boy to blend in with human society. It's a pretty solid illusion for the most part, except that in order to use his "hands" he actually has to use his teeth which can sometimes break the illusion, and he still casts the shadow of a wolf when he walks.
Telepathy: Wolves can speak to other humans and animals without moving their mouths. While in their human form, it just looks like they're speaking normally.
Increased strength/endurance: The wolves in Wolf's Rain tend to be a lot stronger then normal wolves, even being able to withstand injuries that would normally be fatal and being able to jump seemingly impossible distances.
Fast healing: During a full moon, wolves like Toboe can heal a lot quicker then normal, taking only a few hours recover from severe injuries.
Items/Weapons: Just the bangles he got from his Granny.
Sample Entry: Here!
Sample Entry Two:
Upon waking up, the first thing Toboe expected to see was fields of white flowers and his Granny waiting for him with open arms. What he wasn't expecting was a loud buzzing sound and...a bed? It was a lot softer and more comfortable then where he collapsed out in the desert, but how did he end up in a place like this?
In fact, where was he?
Toboe was naive in a lot of ways, even though he refused to admit it, but he knew that gunshot he took to the back was fatal. The last thing he remembered was collapsing next to Quent, exhausted, weak, and aware that he was dying. Toboe had no idea what came next after death, but this couldn't be it. This wasn't the paradise he imagined. Maybe he really didn't die after all? In fact, maybe they brought him to a nearby city, and his pack was nearby and waiting for him to wake up. But that didn't explain why he was only picking up the scent of humans, or why the city outside looked so empty.
As disoriented as he feels, he's quick to climb out of bed, wobbling a bit as he lands on all fours. After doing a little bit of sniffing around, he'll venture outside cautiously. He's not picking up the scent of any other wolves, which makes him nervous already, but he doesn't give up finding them right away.
"Tsume? Hey, Kiba! Hige! I'm awake now! Where did you all go?"
Well, he knows only one way to call his packmates. Completely forgetting that this could alert any nearby threats, Toboe leans back his head and lets out a loud howl. If his pack were nearby, they would hear him for sure. If not...
Well, Toboe didn't want to think that he was here all alone.
