Central Character

Tobias Adam Krain, more known by his pen name, George King, is a famed Shisnonian writer and ex marine, known for his work on the psychological military series "Tom", a collection of books about the mostly fictional Thomas Borg, a soldier with a rapidly declining mental state as he witnesses the horror of war first hand.

## **Appearance**

Due to being a honorary shisno [human turned shisno], Tobias's appearance does not abide by the normal laws of shisnonian appearance.

Tobias is, as of recent, a relatively slim caucasian man, sporting short black hair and a relatively thin beard as well as dark grey eyes.

When Tobias was younger back in the 2000s, he sported a crew cut haircut, no beard, a more muscular build and lighter eyes.

In 2014, Tobias sported a Snake Eater style Mullet, a haircut noted by Lorenzo as "Tobias's best haircut", slightly bigger muscles, and a clean shaven face.

Tobias's casual clothing usually consists of a dark long sleeve shirt, dark grey jeans, and a olive drab jacket, black socks and all black shoes.

Tobias, when he still served in the military, was known to wear the typical US Marine uniform, for obvious reasons, however, he also sported a Desert Battle Dress Uniform and a general Gulf War style outfit, a outfit he would soon throw away after witnessing the, quote, "Horrors of the Gulf War".

## **Personality**

Tobias is often described by Lorenzo as a cool headed man, as he never lost his temper even in the heat of the moment, leading him to being the only logical person in his unit compared to the rest, mainly Lorenzo.

During the time Tobias first enlisted in the military he was hyper, energetic, and a man in a overall good mood, afterwards he became less energetic, more casual and had a different overall aura or "Energy" to him according to Lorenzo.

*"You know my friend Tobias...he changed after I first met him, overlooked his training, his energy changed after the war, that's for sure."*

Tobias was changed during the war, what changed we still don't know, what is for sure is that out of his unit, he suffered the least mentally compared to Thomas, who went mentally insane and had to be put in a Psych Ward, who is also the main inspiration for Tobias's best selling series.

Compared to the more, rather reasonably, gluttonous and fit Lorenzo, Tobias has always been more of a slim diet person, usually eating healthy food compared to eating wild animals or military rations en masse like Lorenzo used to do. However, Tobias has always taken a liking to MREs and similar.

He has also been noted to dislike mushrooms, stating that he's had a fear of them since his friend died eating one, ironically however, there have been many times where Tobias has unknowingly ate mushrooms, like on a pizza or in a soup, most of the time nobody tells Tobias that yes, there are in fact mushrooms in the food he just ate, as to not cause him to start trying to violently cough the food out.

He has also expressed his disgust and hatred for alcohol and tobacco, calling them "The two sins of the big three", the only exception was, and still is, Lorenzo, saying that since he smokes the "Non smoking kind" [No smoke, smell, or ash] he's exempt from this rule of his. He still advises him not to do it though.

The "third sin of the big three" in Tobias's eyes is lust, often talking about how it only ruins relationships and that "A one time thing isn't as good as a longlasting relationship", he has also expressed his hatred for prostitution, not for the job itself most of the time, but the risks and crime that it brings with it.

Tobias, despite his hatred for the mentioned above, has always been know to be a very peaceful man, often advocating to end all war, often talking about it on podcasts, interviews and social media.

Due to his pacifistic nature and ways, he has been known to go the peaceful route in most conflicts, as he wishes to not make any enemies, he does still own a gun for self defense however. Tobias has also been known for going on long hikes with his dog, often camping and taking in the scenery in general.

Ironically, despite being a nature lover and vowed to do no harm to any living being, he still hunts and eats wild animals like deer, fish, and rabbit, and at one point had a bear rug before throwing it out after learning it was rotting. He still occasionally fishes however, often posting his catches online when he does.

## Life as a porter.

Back when Tobias was first introduced to his sudden and new life as a porter, he was a rather sad individual, staying in isolation, not doing anything besides writing and caring for his dog until Lorenzo came to him with the opportunity of a lifetime, talking about how "I knows a way to get you back out, talking with people and being out in the sunshine more".

Early on, Tobias expressed his dislike of the texture and look to the outfit the porters wore, but he soon started to like it, often wearing the outfit when not on the clock and when out on hikes. Tobias often talked about liking what there was of the scenery, enjoying the isolation of driving on a road or walking around on the fairly rocky landscape with no one else around for possibly miles on end, only problem being that he developed a fear of the rain bad enough that he can't stand the sound or feeling of it.
