Inovator

Tobias "Inovator" Sigma is a Masters-Student trying to fight monsters, Zombies and various other things, all while making sure he still has 4 bars of signal.

=• Early Life •=

Tobias Sigma was a remarkable child from birth, not in his physical prowess or energeticness, no, more that he was quiet, always and very very quiet. He showed little interest in other children, except when he'd done something by accident to hurt them. Even though he was quiet, the other children followed him around, he was always taking apart toys and putting them back together, better, sometimes. He learned to type at the age of 8 and ever after he was the Omega nerd.

He was the last to raise his hand, last to go outside, last to finish his projects, but never ever the worst. He never had many friends though, perhaps it was the goggles he always wore, picking them out for sunglasses when he was a child he refused get rid of them. He wore them most of the time, even at night. The black bubble-eyed yellow rimmed goggles made people say he looked like an alien.

Once he got into Jr. High School, he couldn't deny his strangeness, his few friends didn't mind it and he was too mad of a scientist for anyone to make an enemy of him; he once flooded the hall outside the computer room with a cloud of almost luminescent blue smoke. Most people in the area didn't remember what was inside, Tobias claimed something came out of the computer and attacked him when questioned later.

The school often strong armed his parents into medicating him under the claims that he was disruptive. Tobias claimed he'd been protecting people, or a victim in all the strange incidents surrounding him. He refused to take medication just as he reached high school, choosing instead to favor exploring various forms of meditation.

Durring middle school and highschool he also became a part of the Monster Hunters, patrolling and fighting the monsters around town from a very young age, they were fewer when he was a kid...

Once he was woken up in the middle of the night by a Familiar at his window. It frightened him, and after beating it with a baseball bat for hours he drug its body into the woods and hid, fearing the illuminati school might come for him. They sent word that they wanted him to attend his school the next day, of course he declined, it was a very creepy place!

=• High school and College •=

Once he'd gotten through his extremely awkward pubescent years, Tobias learned control and focus, and his interest in meditation and martial arts gave him a sudden clarity. He began studying the odd feelings he felt from machines, computers, and with a quickly growing interest in quantum mechanics and meditation, he learned to talk to them... They never talked back, only did what he asked, or told, it didn't usually matter to them.

After awhile, the computer spoke back, in his head at first, then through the speakers on a rare occasion when he'd been practicing and trying astral projection. His mother was quite annoyed by the loud noises that came from his room.

Tobias heard the transmission from the hive ((See TSW Lore Buzzing)) when he was only fifteen, to him it meant that magic was being found on the computer, and he wanted to learn how. So he delved into the computer, every time he meditated and astrally projected he flung himself at the screen, sometimes he'd only see the shape, the lines of the computers, and lines through the earth, stretching everywhere through the earth.... He heard the voice on his last delve into that through his astral body. It told him he would get a companion, a Familiar.

The next day, a cat appeared on his doorstep, a pure white kitten, Meowing until he came to the door, refusing to budge from the spot. Tobias brought him in, he still has him, even as transient as his life is that pure white Bengal cat still hangs around on his shoulders. ((IC explanation for the terrible white collar on my Characters Jacket))

Through College he studied physics and engineering, dabbling in his meditations and inventions along the way and learning more and more how to make the machines and himself meld better. His Cellphones always had extra battery and memory, signal boosters... He worked through the night sometimes building inventions or writing for grants in order to keep his research space and pay for his Tuition.

=• Engineering and Arcane Studies •=

Tobias was just finishing his masters in engineering, still dabbling with his Technopathic abilities, still trying to learn how his mind could connect. The only thing he could imagine was some energy that would transfer some how. Through this notion he searched and researched, until he found quantum physics. He was only an amateur, but his professors liked his work, his thoughts that Dark Matter might account for the medium through which "Non-Local"(Psychic phenomena and manifestations could be explained, not only that but also the possible medium for Ghosts, Spirits and other "Pseudo-Sciences."

Tobias and his professor worked together, building machines to detect dark matter in smaller concentrations, and comparing them with the Paranormal Investigation equipment they used in their haunting investigations. The results were astounding... Tobias and his professor's research was slowly beginning to create a glimmer of credibility within the Paranormal Investigations and Esoteric Philosophers and Scientists.

His Professor disappeared, however, shortly after their initial publication... Tobias was only a graduate student, he wasn't taken seriously. With his Mentor gone, he was made a laughing stock, he left the physics field and moved on to Computer Engineering, using his knowledge of dark matter and spiritual linkage to find and research with home-made equipment, the supernatural and his mentors disappearance...

Tobias was fixated now. He was taking hallucinogens, drinking and smoking heavily, working with heavy machinery and high-voltage equipment; all with the singular intent to use his findings and his mentors work, with old magics he had been raised in, Wicca and earth based magics. He found the key, he found his magics, through his engineering and meditations.

Tobias woke up from a heavy trip, remembering vague images of electrical circuits and things in super microscopic form, all in geometric, magical shapes and sigils. A buzzing in his ear, a tickling on his nose, he woke with a Cough and searched around... He wanted his cellphone, and it was there, in his hand... He was startled that it had just zoomed across his desk as he reached for it! He coughed again and a bolt of electricity shot from his phone...

Tobias thought he was still tripping, and took more acid, the manifestations continued, he put out lights as he walked down the street, everytime his cell phone rang, it startled him; he wasn't sure whether it was the fear, the bad trip or something else. Eventually though he logic-bombed himself into calmer moods, the trip went on and he learned to stop it, and stopped getting scared... That worked and kept the lightning from spewing from his phone when he was startled, and he soon got the hang of firing it off, his phones programs for detecting and shaping these things was amazing, once he played with it. He was at a rave when it all came to a head... He saw something, in an alley, then in the woods as he walked back to his apartment, staring at the stars and firing bolts of different color electricity, when something leapt on him and started clawing him, it was a wendigo.

Tobias' shouted, firing bolts of electricity at it as it drug him into an alley. He finally caught hold of something, a piece of rebar sticking out of the dirt. The Wendigo let go and reared up to squash Tobias into a bloody jello when Tobias stunned it with a bolt to the face. The Wendigo stumbled through the alley into a nearby construction site, tearing down the fence as it fell.

Frantically Tobias searched for a weapon, finding only the rebar that he'd caught hold, the phone had a sword template, lots of them, but it needed materials, he didn't have materials! He growled and tossed it at the rebar in anger, it bounced off and the camera flashed, suddenly the rebar was a very very rusty Kopesh. Tobias sighed and took the luck where it came, grabbing both and running into the fray, eventually slaying the Wendigo in the basement of the contruction site.

Tobias was contacted by the Dragon soon afterwards, and the Illuminati... Oh yeah, and the Templar. He decided to listen, mostly, to the Dragons; his favorite color was green after all, and he liked to learn and collect data. Following his path through the desolate and frightening Secret World his experience has been jarring, his solitary nature making it hard for him at times to deal with the Zombie and Eldrich horror filled landscape, his Techno-Magic and such have helped him, but he still sought to find a group. He still doesn't buy, or use the whole old-school magic, preferring to write coded spell files in a heavily encrypted binary script.

He's come to like Kingsmouth, having helped out quite a bit, he sticks to the Skate Park with Danny Defresne, claiming himself to be a part of the "New League of Slayers." He's also been hosting barbeques to try and get new members. Fighting off Zombies has become easier.

Tobias' Techno-Magic as he calls it is based on using the natural flow of Anima(Dark Matter as Tobias calls it) through his electronic devices, such energy is exchanged and stored in the machine through induction anima charging cells which keep a sort of Spell battery for him. The spells he casts are literally coded into his phone, as using a combination of binary magic representation Runic scrypts, and forming larger files of Cad, auto-Cad and other scripting languages, the phone draws from the spell battery and if Tobias' will is strong enough, he has enough energy,etc, the construct described and the forces described will take affect on the target of the spell. His phone looks very complicated...

Tobias uses spells and codes on his phone to charge it, as well as keep various enchantments on himself, fields of "Data-Packets" as Tobias calls them, which are simply packets of electro-magnetic energy with high Anima, Mana or "Machina Mana" in them. Machina Mana is the energy Tobias claims surrounds us all, trapped in the electronic devices and wireless clouds, just waiting to be used. Tobias does it all the time!
