History
-Tobias was a very successful researcher in his life, his family gave him everything he needed to do well and he was very academically inclined. He had his fiancee waiting for him- and a hefty sum of money saved for him by his parents and everything was lining up perfectly for him.

-He was projected to graduate top of his class and went on to complete his degree-- life seemed pretty damn great-- during his final few years of school he went onto completing his big thesis project. Part of it required studying ancient tomes and documents that were discovered tucked away in some bizarre catacombs.

-Things started to get weird. This usually very social man had become quiet, and distant. He was starting to isolate away from his fiancee and his family- so wrapped up in researching one very specific book he had acquired.

It seemed to be just gibberish- nonsensical scrawling of ink with lots of pictures and diagrams that had no recognizable relevance, and his peers kind of mocked him for trying to understand it and wanting to get to it's origin. He agonized it over the course of several months with his health deteriorating rapidly, but no one seemed to be able to take the book from him.

-What they didn't know was that after months of toiling, something spoke to him. He did not understand at first, thinking he was hearing things. He continued to scrawl and labor over it's contents- and the sounds returned to him. They were quiet at first, mere whispers that were unrecognizable as any language he knew or could comprehend and after detailing everything he could from cover to cover hundreds of times over- something changed.

-'You must really want to understand'

- Written in plain English, the phrase had found it's way into the pages of the book. Along with it, instructions on what to do if he wish to learn more. Small fragments of the book had become legible to him, much to the man's dismay, but from an outsider's view it's contents had not changed.

-His persistence and curiosity piqued the being inhabiting it's pages and revealed only what it wanted to him. The whispers followed again with inquiries now understandable, prompting him to agreements- directions and vague answers to the questions he had. He had so many burning questions- and whoever spoke to him had agreed to show it all, should he believe he was 'ready'.

-Of course he was ready-- he hadn't spent nearly a year studying the book not to understand. But what he received was far more than he was capable of comprehending as a human. It would take him forfeiting something of value to his demons. His humanity would get in the way of true 'enlightenment', but before he realized his mistake with accepting the deal, it was too late.

-Whatever Tobias had agreed to, changed him- With the knowledge imparted on him, his physical state liquefied, transformed, shifted in ways he had never had control of until then. But with that, he was no longer recognizable to himself. He understood to a fault what had happened, but the all the ambient memories of the world around him flooded him- he lost track of what was his and what belonged to others and quickly he realized what this meant for what used to be his life.

-That night, he didn't come home from work- his office had been absolutely destroyed, along with most of the research he had done. Whoever came through left quite the mess and seemingly had taken Tobias and the tome with them.

-He couldn't return. There would be no point in trying to explain the explainable-

-His family sent out several missing person's reports over the course of days, weeks and months. They hired a detective onto the case when they noticed that his bank account had been leeched dry, but without any clear evidence or motive from colleagues or rivaling researching departments, it was a dead end. The case has been left open, as they wait for any more clues to where he has gone.

Powers/Stats
-Abilities-
-Has an amorphous physical form that can be used to replicate what he has 'consumed', though he sticks to maintaining his 'original' physical form as a sort of safety blanket
- can set up energy wards to mark those who pass through them, used for finding and tracking prey (not a damage dealing sort of thing)
- With focus, can retrace the memories of objects and feelings/residual energy associated with them
-With focus, can relay said memories and feelings/residual energy to another person within contact
-Bitch is a fucking eldritch abomination lookin- ass. He got big beaky, teeth, claws and tentacles, what else do u want from me
--

-Weaknesses-
- His mimicked forms aren't perfect, and there are small cues that will give him away, such as bones not sitting in the right spots, things rippling below the skin-- if you were to touch him too hard your hand may sink into him further than it should
-The energy stores needed to hold this form together aren't limitless and sometimes the surface holding it together will break, causing 'bleeding', leaking the black goop from orifices and bruising until he can rest
-When severe damage is sustained, he cannot take up an altered form and will need time to recuperate
-Is it possible to have problems with using 'Glamour' because if so, please make it more difficult for him to leave the house
-Being around dense populations means large influxes of energy, which in turn, stresses him out and puts him at risk of breaking his stable, passable, human form.

Dislikes:
-Remembering his past
-People taking what belongs to him

-Design notes-
When drawing him as the abomination he is, feel free to go kind of ham. He's not supposed to be handsome, or good looking when he's like that, so take the chance to practice drawing something grotesque. The weirder the better, and certainly more fun to look at.
