Overall Personality: In all honesty, Tobias Rookwood is a contradicting mess. He's built upon things that war with one another, and it mentally tears him apart because he's not willing to side with one army. This is often why he considers himself to be so insane. He doesn't make sense, he's twisted, and he's more than a little odd. Truthfully, one should think of his mind like this: a maze made entirely of mirrors that you're thrust into in a blinding darkness. You can't see a thing, you don't know what's real and what's a reflection, and it's one of the most difficult places to navigate. It's best to take on his personality in layers, for that's essentially how it all plays out. Once one is peeled away, it reveals another until you get down to the core. The outer shell that Tobias has created over the years is one that was built up mostly by other people. Think of your typical rebel, and you'll have a pretty good idea of how he runs. He's cocky and sly, using both words and unpredictable movements to get what he wants. Add in a general distaste of authority and being retrained along with an overbearingly stubborn and cynical look on things, and you basically get who he appears to be to the standard person. Since he has severe insomnia, he employs the night hours reading books and writing poetry, sometimes taking long walks until he finally passes out. He also became a virtuoso on the piano and a very good guitarist.
Getting past to the next layer isn't as hard as it may seem. Because it's more of an image that people have molded that Tobias started to fit, it cracks whenever he starts feeling threatened or a little emotional. He starts getting moody and aggressive. It is, in a way, a defense mechanism that acts as the barrier between what everybody sees and what he keeps to himself. He generally lashes out without much thought, pushes people away, and acts bitter and condescending. It is his most unstable state of mind, during which he's impulsive and rash,but it's the one that's the hardest to break down because most of the time, he manages to successfully beat down whatever it is that caused him to go into that mind frame before they can break him entirely. Lying beyond all that is the male's core. Now, all the previously mentioned traits are still very present in the male, they are just portrayed differently. He is still himself in every state that he's in, but like with everything that's built up, there's a foundation that the others cover, and this is his own. The male is pretty insecure about several of his dark interests due to what he went through as a kid. He's passionate in every sense of the word, and generally very conflicted. His contradictions are most apparent when he's in places such as this, in which he sees himself as something terrible that's being eaten from the inside. Of course, getting this far into the male's mind is a rare thing, but there are cracks in even the strongest structures through which bits of the other layers will slide forward in a moment of carelessness.

Overall History: Tobias Macnair Rookwood was named not for his uncle, a death eater in the first two wizard wars, but by his uncle's brother, Octavian, who therefore named him after two death eaters who fought bravely for the dark side. Tobias Snape and Walden Macnair, two good friends to the Rookwoods. Tobias didn't really care for his name. It is what is is, so he approached the matter indifferently whenever his father told him about the wars. In reality he couldn't care less. So what? The good side won. Hooray, set off fireworks, let's celebrate and turn on some horrible pop music that seemed to be taking over the world. Tobias was just living in the present, so what of the past? He wasn't a part of it, hell he wasn't even born yet. He was sixteen years old, he had teenager problems, girls to try to impress, a massive amount of work and little time to do so. He had only gotten eight O.W.L.'s and his mother was displeased he got a "Poor" on her favorite subject; Divination.
He grew up in an old town of Wiltshire, England, close to the Malfoy Manor. It was no doubt that the young Tobias would show magical abilities at an early age, and when his letter finally arrived, he went off to Hogwarts. There, he was placed in Slytherin House and he scraped by the first five years like it was nothing. He found an interest in non-verbal spells, the dark arts and defenses against them, and was particularly fond of Astronomy. Somedays, he would sneak out to the top tower and gaze out at the stars for no reason in particular. He just did. And he still does.
"Hello, this thing is working, yes? Alright, my name is Tobias Rookwood, and some people tend to call me by my surname although there are nicknames by my friends. I don't particularly want to talk about my history. My parents are in jail, got into a bit of trouble only few know about. I try to get by, but many think of me as a sort of troublemaker. Which I have no purpose in denying. I am probably the worst person you will ever meet, but you fall in love with me anyway. Not egotistical, the truth it is. In the end, you just can't help it. This is of course, if you're a girl. I tend to get along with them better than guys. Of course, I may end up laying you in the end. If you decide to stay friends with me, that's great."
"I always figured I didn't need friends. No, I was a lone wolf. Lone wolf, that reminds me. I dropped out of school, but returned only a month later. Many don't know yet, but I was bitten awhile ago late at night near my mansion. I ended up killing the werewolf, but ended up with the curse forever. It didn't dawn on me for awhile until the first full moon, and then I returned to school where I knew I'd be safer, protected from other people as well. It's a bit hard to control my cravings, but I have developed well. Apparently, I have advanced far more than a normal werewolf would in just five weeks of being a new creature. I can control my habits, newfound strength but my eyes sometimes flash an iridescent gold at times."
"So that's about it so far. You want to learn more about me? Find me. I'm usually in the dungeons or the astronomy tower. Good luck in your search. I'm not exactly the person you want to know, but if I'm in a good mood, and you're feeling lucky? Have a go at it. I might just let you in."
