Chapter Text
APPEARANCE:
I picture Toby to not be exactly short but not exactly tall either. Around 5,10. During his childhood he didn't have all of the nutrients his body needed to grow at that point, combined with his many disorders, he was very stunted. 5,6 when he was 17 but had a growth spurt when he started living with the creeps.
Skinny yet lean build. He has been in the proxy life for quite a bit now and with every mission he has to get stronger. He used to be scrawny as hell but with time he built some muscle.
Cuts and marks all over his body. Not in the self-harm way (I don't picture toby ever really self-harming) but they're mostly from missions. There is one faint scar on his back of neck from an incident with his father. I also picture toby with acne scars and freckles. Also a lot of those cuts ended up infected because of his CIPA, he couldn't feel them. Jack has to check up on him every so often.
The scar on his cheek is mostly healed. Whenever he goes out in public he either wears a bandage over it or a face mask. Sometimes when drinking liquids he has to tilt his head a bit so it doesn't come out through his scar.
Fluffy, tangled, spruce hair. He doesn't believe in brushing his hair. He would run his fingers in his hair every so often but never truly brushes it. He also scrubs his head roughly while showering so it's a wonder how his hair looks mostly healthy.
Toby has a crooked smile. His teeth aren't straight, some of them are chipped or wonky. Toby doesn't really care but when he smiles you can notice he has dimples as well.
Yall can throw tomatoes at me but I believe in baby face Toby. I don't believe facial hair ran in his genes so he barely needs to shave.
You all know that one boy that has the longest eyelashes that every girl is jealous of? Well those are Toby's eyes. He has brown eyes but they are more soft then most men.
BEHAVIOUR:
Toby can be childish yes but its more or less used as a manipulation tactic. He knows people will pity him for his disorders. He knows he looks pretty innocent on the outside. He knows damn well that people will fall for that facade. Truly, Toby is not a child. He's a grown man who is a serial killer. His innocence is how he usually lures in his targets.
Very impulsive. He gets into arguments with the creeps often (physical and verbal), especially Tim and Brian. He tries to guilt trip people into giving him what he wants but usually the creeps don't fall for it anymore. Brian and Tim have to go through a lot to keep Toby in check before he gets beat up by someone like Jeff.
Surprisingly very brave and loyal. That's why slenderman favours him SO much. He's also loyal to Tim and Brian, he may argue with them a lot but overall he looks up to them. Also during missions he's usually the most willing to charge in headfirst.
MESSY. His room? A mess. Whenever he cooks? The kitchen is burning. Don't get me started on this boy's hygiene habits. In my opinion he's like the 2nd-3rd worst about his hygiene. He's a lil stinky.
Totally one of those "you didn't hear this from me but *insert person* is blah blah blah." Toby loves to gossip. He wouldn't outright bully people but he's definitely a big mouth and an asshole. He loves to talk shit honestly. If you messed up on a mission Toby is telling the whole house how you suck basically.
He abstains from drugs, alcohol and smoking. Most of those remind him of his childhood and his father. He would rather die then become the person his dad once was.
So afraid of being prejudice??? I headcanon his father being sexist, racist and homophobic. So naturally Toby is the woker final boss. His sexuality is up to yall's interpretation but he supports EVERYONE.
Loves animals! He want's to keep one but whenever he brings one home usually Tim makes him bring it back to where it was. He has tried sneaking one in but Tim and Brian were having NONE of that. He feeds stray animals every now and then however. If he has the money.
Stumbles over his words a lot. Not even due to just his tics but Toby is so socially inept because of the lack of friends he had growing up. He also was homeschooled so that made interacting x20000 worse.
RANDOM:
Toby for some reason can draw very well? Like scarily well. There's a few paintings around the house and most of them were done by Toby. If Toby's sister wouldn't have died he would have probably become a successful artist.
In my personal opinion Toby does like waffles. But he also like pancakes. And french toast. He likes breakfast food in general. He's not like just hyperfixated on waffles.
In his free time he paints rocks and gives his favourite ones to people he likes. Tim has a few, so does Brian and even Ben has one.
Toby is a Taurus!
His favourite colour is paynes grey. He really likes all shades of blue to be quite honest as well.
He's the most agile and fastest of the creeps. He's not incredibly strong, above average strength for a human male but what truly makes him dangerous is his SPEED. He will chase people down. Also his CIPA makes him incapable of feeling pain so no matter how much you hit him he will keep going until he drops.
Loves the rain. He will go outside and drink the rain water from the sky. He also just likes the sound in general.
His tics aren't as bad as when he was living with his family. He isn't being abused or starved or extremely stressed out so his tics naturally stabilized. He still has them but its less verbal if anything. He can usually on a good day get through a sentence without ticcing. (can't say the same for his stutter however.)
Okay that's all I got lowkey.
