Ticci Toby

Tobias Erin Rogers had never lived a normal life. Born with Tourette syndrome, congenital insensitivity to pain, and memory problems, he spent most of his childhood feeling different. At school, he was constantly bullied because of his tics, forcing him to leave and study from home. His father was an abusive alcoholic who filled the house with fear, while his mother did everything she could to protect him. The only person who truly understood Toby was his older sister, Lyra.

One rainy evening, everything changed. Toby and Lyra were involved in a terrible car accident. Toby survived, but Lyra died from her injuries. Her death left him broken. He stopped eating, barely spoke, and was haunted by nightmares every night. Soon, he began seeing a tall, faceless man watching him from the shadows.

As the days passed, the figure appeared more often. Toby could no longer tell the difference between reality and hallucinations. Strange whispers filled his mind, growing louder until they became impossible to ignore.

One night, Toby found his father sitting alone in the living room. The voices urged him to kill him. After struggling to resist, Toby grabbed a knife from the kitchen and murdered his father. Horrified by what he had done, he fled his home carrying two hatchets. Before escaping into the forest, he set the neighborhood on fire to distract the police.

Surrounded by flames, Toby believed he was about to die. Instead, the faceless figure stepped out of the smoke and silently approached him. After that night, Tobias Erin Rogers disappeared forever.

Months later, several brutal murders were reported near the forest. At one crime scene, investigators found a bloodstained hatchet identical to Toby's. The broken boy was gone, and in his place remained only the legend of Ticci Toby.

Ticci Toby is a young man with a slim, lean build and an athletic frame. He is approximately 5'8" (173 cm) tall and has pale skin, giving him a sickly appearance. His messy, medium-length brown hair often falls over his forehead, and his dark brown eyes usually look tired and unfocused, with noticeable dark circles beneath them.

His face is marked by several scars, the most recognizable being a long scar stretching across one side of his mouth, creating the illusion of a permanent grin. His expression is often blank, exhausted, or unsettling. He typically wears a green hooded jacket over a striped shirt, dark jeans, gloves, and sturdy boots. A white surgical mask covers the lower half of his face, hiding most of his scars. He usually carries two hatchets, his signature weapons. Overall, his appearance is disheveled, intimidating, and reflects the physical and emotional trauma he has endured.

Ticci Toby is quiet, introverted, emotionally fragile, and deeply traumatized. He is anxious, withdrawn, and socially isolated, often struggling to trust both others and his own perceptions. Because of his deteriorating mental state, he becomes unstable, unpredictable, and impulsive. He experiences hallucinations, hears intrusive voices, and has difficulty distinguishing reality from illusion. Although he is capable of caring deeply for the people he loves, grief and psychological distress gradually consume him. Beneath his violent behavior lies a confused, vulnerable, and broken young man whose trauma ultimately overwhelms his sense of self.
