Ethereal Form:
Curantis- Tobin’s hair turns a slivery white color, while his eyes become a vibrant blue. His skin seems to tan in contrast with the light hair and eyes. A tattoo appears on the back of his neck, a symbol associated with his mother’s house (Aether), and he dons his white wings.
Custos- Tobin's hair turns jet black when he takes his Custos form and his eyes become a crimson red. His skin also seems to be tanner in this form than his human one. A family crest tattoo, representing his father's side, appears on his right wrist, along with black, smooth scaled wings.

The hilt is wrapped in leather and the blade itself has a smooth design carved into it, blending the two styles associated with each side of his family.

History
Tobin was born of an affair between his Angel mother, Ambresk, and his Custos father, Marrus. Though Marrus knew of his child, Ambresk kept Tobin from his father until she became disgusted with him, claiming his father's blood tainted him. The God Kannon felt compelled to watch over Tobin as a child, as his mother ignored him, until Tobin left his mother's "care." At the young age of 10 he demanded to life with his father and was sent to live with him and his older half-brother, Rhystic.
The two brothers got along fairly well due to the fact that Marrus had decided Rhystic not know of Tobin's Angel blood. This was because Rhystic's mother had been killed by an Angel. Tobin's secret didn't stay hidden after his 15th birthday however, when a simple brotherly birthday prank put Tobin on the offensive and Rhystic face to face with his brother's Angel form.
The fight didn't last long, with Marrus there to break it up, but Rhystic's hatred of Angel's drove him to torment Tobin, making life in his father's care a living hell. Though, Marrus did what he could to keep the boys separated and equally happy, Tobin decided to leave his father's care at 18, and not return home.
With Kannon's influence on Tobin's young mind, Tobin chose to follow in Kannon's footsteps. This is where most of Tobin's compassionate loving personality come from. He shows everyone mercy and feels compelled to help people with their problems, even as a young child. He had even offered Rhystic forgiveness for the way he had treated Tobin, but his brother was still intent on forcing him out of the house. While Tobin takes on a cold, aloof demeanor when Rhystic is mentioned now, the offer for forgiveness is still open. He adored his father, who showed great compassion towards both of his sons. He then named himself an Angel of Mercy under Kannon and made a vow to help those around him.
Tobin took his neutral human form and settled down in a small town called Cedar Valley outside of a forest. There, in the dead of winter, he met Dion while tutoring math as a student at the local university. She was another Ibrida, and a Curantis dominant like himself, and they soon began dating. Shortly thereafter they found out Dion was pregnant. Tobin was sure he had met the love of his life, so he was ecstatic when she agreed to marry him. He had decided to stay in school, and managed to expedite a few of his class credits. Tempest, Essence, and Hawk were born happy and healthy and only two years later they were joined by their sister Rayne.
When the triplets where 4 and Rayne 2, Tobin came home from his relatively new job at the local school to find that his wife had left. For a while he held out hope that she had just needed a few days to herself and would come back on her own. After than he started calling whatever contacts he had for her family members, worried something had happened. After not getting any answers as to his wife’s location or condition, he finally had to set it aside and focus on raising their children.
After 8 years Dion finally called and explained why she left and what she had been doing all that time. Tobin had of course offered to forgive her, and the house was always her home, but he warned her that the children might not be as easy to convince. While it was a little touch and go for a bit, their family settled back together. It even grew, as children of Dion’s from before their marriage found her. The house was constantly full of people, and now their kids were starting pair off and have kids of their own. Tobin is a happy grandpa, and just found out he can look forward to being a dad again.
