Tobias Avelino

## **Official Bio**

*"I'm an orphan who didn't know what to do in my life, until I was recruited as an agent in the HQ. I thought for sure they're bluffing, but oh man was I wrong. They took care of me more than I thought they would, gave me love, and raised me as if I'm their own son. Now that I've grown up, I want to help them find the missing heir. I wouldn't trade my family for anything, whatever that may be." - Tobias about himself in his journal*

### Debut

Velaris

**Markus Tobias "Tobes" Avelino** is Velaris' main protagonist whose love interest is Linden Vanderberg. Nicknamed as **Agent Dusk**, Tobias is an agent working in an underground agency called Inferno HQ, run by Agent Sunset Mendoza. He infiltrates Palacio Velaris under the alias Anela Avelino. He's best friends with Sapphire Aihara and the Jiāng twins, Caspian and Cascade, protecting the kingdom from unworthy heirs.

As of now in its early development stages, Tobias' base is currently not known.

## **Early Life**

Tobias was only a toddler when both of his parents died from a car accident while they're on their way to the pediatrician to get Tobias checked. The car's brakes got broken, making his father lose control of the vehicle, sending them flying over a cliff. He was then found by Agent Sunset's aunt and uncle- who were a 911 responder a firefighter at the time respectively- and took him to her house where he grew up with the Jiāng twins and Sapphire Aihara.

## **Personality**

Being a Libra, Tobias has a strong sense of justice. On the downside, he's slightly full of himself and would do reckless actions that would often lead to chaos and consequences, although he's smart enough to think of a solution. Out of all the members of the agency, Tobias is the most determined and would do anything to stop anyone ineligible to take the throne.

As a friend, he's warm-hearted and loyal, and he's calm most of the time. Tobias is shown to be intelligent and hard-working, and would also show to be dependable and reliable since Agent Sunset and his friends trust him to go undercover as a princess.

## **Physical Appearance**

Tobias has black hair that was parted to the left side of his head, and natural aqua eyes. He has a fair complexion and somewhat feminine features, especially his face structure and body figure. He's measured to be 5'4" in height.

He wears a green long-sleeved shirt with white stripes across his torso, gray pants, and green sneakers with white soles for his casual clothes. Tobias has a piercing on his right ear, and he has a single opal earring pushed through it.

As Agent Dusk, he wears a black shirt under a black blazer, and he wears black denim jeans with leather shoes. He has a mint-green colored smart eyelens (single lens eyeglasses) that has built-in mic and speaker that allows him to talk to the other agents.

His sleepwear consists of a cream-colored shirt over white long-sleeves, and gray sweatpants.

When he was at the prince's birthday gala, Tobias suit consists of a white dress shirt under a buttoned black blazer, black slacks, and leather shoes. His hair is slicked back as opposed to his usual "messy" combed hair.

As Anela, he always made sure the actual length of his hair is hidden away by his synthetic black wig that reaches past his shoulders with sideswept bangs, and his tiara has a small opal stone in the middle. He wears a two-piece dress originally belonging to Cascade; his halter top is white with silver glitters, and his skirt is made out of aqua green-colored tulle that falls straight down.

## **Trivias**

* Tobias' name means "God is good", and although it doesn't have anything related to his zodiac sign, Libras are often associated with the name "Tobias".
* He has an opal earring, and opal is his birthstone.
* He's the only character in the entire franchise to have piercings and a rare eye color.
* Oh Chanwoo from Bj Alex is one of the inspirations of the writers for Tobias:
	+ Both are pansexuals.
	+ Both of them are Libras who were born on October, therefore they also share the same birthstone, which is opal.
	+ They both have rare eye colors, even if they're natural or not (Aqua green for Tobias and royal fuchsia).
	+ Both being the only main character to have their ears pierced.
	+ Both of them have their own kinks, although Chanwoo's is more prominent and obvious.
* His sleepwear is decided by Austin Dy, who was inspired by Hiro Hamada's choice of clothing- shirts over long-sleeves.
* He doesn't like being called "Toby", and insisted his friends to call him by his actual name. However, Sapphire and Cascade call him "Tobes", and he seemed to be fine with it.
* Tobias owns a journal since he was in first year high school, but he doesn't necessarily write on it everyday. No one's ever knew where he hides it even if he has three roommates.
	+ He strictly calls his journal a "journal", and not a "diary", since he thinks a diary sounds like what a 4-year-old girl would say for some reason, and that it's childish.
* Tobias' "Anela" dress looks like Sapphire's dress when she was the Vixen, although instead of royal blue it's aqua-green, and the bodice is a halter top instead of a venus cut.
* He was supposed to be non-binary and pansexual in the earlier drafts of the character profiles, but it was changed to only pansexual in the final cut. The reason behind this is unknown.
* Tobias was decided that he was going to have a light colored hair (platinum blonde, white, ivory), but the idea was dropped. The writers thought he was going to "stand-out too much" if they do that, because the rest of the main characters have dark hair such as black and brown.
* It was decided from the very start that Tobias is going to be older than Linden, despite the fact that Linden is taller and more dominant. Amree Aguinaldo assures that their ages will make sense at the end of the story.
* Tobias is the only young agent in Inferno HQ who doesn't have water as its zodiac element.
