Spoiler:

Personality: Calculating, smart, rational, talkative. He does not mind blathering secrets and weakness to his enemies. He'd rather shove his nose in a book or experiment with alchemy instead of doing something with others. Although he will not hesitate to help someone. He feels that he is responsible for the bad things of the world and he will take things into his own hands to correct things. Even if it does not concern him. He sympathizes for the sick, and often heals them, even if they are a criminal. He hates suffering, from himself or from others, and will do his best to see a smile on strangers face.


History: He was born from a family of librarians, actually a really big family of librarians. Tobais really did not care for books too much. In fact, he hated them because he was overwhelmed by the number of chores he had to do concerning books and cleaning up and organizing books. Out of spite, He decided to look at a book; A its was basically book of alchemy for new alchemists. The only problem was that it was in Latin, making it hard to decipher, He recognized some words since one of his family members knew Latin and taught others some Latin words every now an then. There was also arrays and pictures to help. He flipped through it and landed on how to turn carbon into diamond. He thought it would be an easy way to make money. He kept this a secret from his family. He experimented on the alchemy on a tree in a nearby forest and succeeded making a diamond so big it could pay him anything he wanted. Excited that it worked, he buried his nose in the book and scoured the library for more books on alchemy or how to translate Latin. His parents didn't care that he studied alchemy. In fact they were happy that he was studying something from books for once.

Eventually Tobais learned how to cut the diamond into small pieces to pay for materials and alchemic equipment and more books on masterful alchemy. He even reached the point to experiment without the need for instructions. Eventually he came to an unknown glyph in the book he found in the basic alchemy alchemy book he first found. It was labeled "Grand Arcanus" Curious, he gave the glyph many materials to be safe. And tried to transmute, but to his dismay, the glyph is one to make a Philosopher's Stone; An artifact of unlimited power that could break the rules of alchemy. But the ingredients to make it was human life, and lots of it.

Tobais' entire family was killed and compressed into the transmutation. He did not know that yet. Instead in the middle of the glyph was a red splinter of a Philosopher's Stone. His hands were still finalizing the transmutations as he touched it. Almost immediately the floor turned from wood to crude diamond, a reaction of the stone melting into him. Tobais realized this bend in the rules and figured it out overnight. He could transmute without a glyph, but a glyph made it stronger.

Excited Tobais went to tell his family of his newfound power, but he could not find them. Coincidently there was a local Renaissance festival going on that they usually go to. He went there in search of them, but could not find them. There was a guy posing as a wizard selling old books, Tobais looked through an alchemy book there and found the Grand Arcanus glyph again. He bought it and dove into what the glyph did. He was horrified, He unknowingly killed his whole family, and achieving something no other alchemist did or had the nerve to do: Making something to become almost God-like in power.

Tobais cursed himself to depression. He did not eat, drink, or sleep for long periods of times. Coming close to suicide in some days, but he could not come to it. He could not let all of their deaths be in vain. It was almost like the souls of the family wanted him to repent. In fact the body, mind, and souls of the family were forced into the stone Tobais made. This eventually made Tobais become an alchemic doctor of sorts. Every person he healed made him feel just a bit better. He eventually used the last of his big diamond to make his library a local clinic. In where he healed people throughout his insomnia and skipped meals. He became obsessed with helping people. He did this all for free, After all his family paid the More than the ultimate for others to live. He eventually taught some apprentices who showed some promises to Alchemy or doctoring.

One day Tobais was out gathering materials for doctoring doing favors like fixing broken appliances or help building fences for materials, rather than pay for them. He refused to make anything of value. He valued balance, and he was severely not balanced. As he was coming home he watched this man kill someone right in front of him; A shot to the victims' face with a gun. Tobais was angered that someone would throw away a delicate life so easily, and so readily at that. Tobais used alchemy to subdue him by turning the ground into tar. The murderer was arrested immediately. He went to try to heal the victim and bring him back to life. He could only fix the body. In fact, the heart and the mind could beat and think respectively, but the body had no memories; no soul. It was worse than dead. It did not react to to stimuli. It made no move to survive. It had no soul to give him the faith to have a will to survive. Despite Tobais best efforts, the man died again of starvation days later.

Tobais made no move to try to resurrect him again; in fact he gave him a proper funeral, and a burial. Tobais was traumatized again, almost ruining his library/clinic in the process. He almost ruined his good reputation. But the people understood his problems. They watched him try to revive the dead person and failed. They understood his intentions, and understood his rage of failure. The people decided to stay away for a while. Tobais looked for something that would soothe the suffering, including another suicide attempt, but one of his apprentices came in his room right as he was about to shoot himself and tried to wrench the gun away. Tobais smacked him with the gun, knocking him out. When he went to aim at him, he realized something. He realized how sensitive human life was. He realized how easy it was to overpower the weak and abuse them. He decided to do something about it. He decided the best way now to save people was to fight crime.

Apologizing to every single person in the town, he destroyed his lab including all traces of the Grand Arcanus and left the clinic in the hopes of no one repeating his mistakes. His life as a superhero has begun.

Following the Prince of Darkness saga
Tobais Joined G.U.N. at one point hoping that G.U.N. would help him direct him on his crusade of repentance. It helped to some extent but he never actually did anything big to assist G.U.N. as far as combating the demons and assisting the angels. He focused mainly of medical assistance. He was glad to assist G.U.N. but he felt too small, too insignificant. His place was for something bigger. The dissipation of G.U.N. and the last final assault of the demons allowed Tobais the opportunity to make up the repentance he owes.

Powers:

He can transmute objects into anything of equal composition and mass. Transmutation is described below:
(1) Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within.
(2) Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.
(3) Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.
The proper application of this craft requires not only a full understanding of chemistry and ancient alchemical theory, but also a sort of natural talent towards recognizing and manipulating the physical objects with energy, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude. Those remarkable individuals capable of studying and practicing alchemy are known as "Alchemists".

In order to begin an alchemical transmutation, a symbol called a Transmutation Circle(or Array) is necessary. A Transmutation Circle can either be drawn on the spot when a transmutation is necessary (in chalk, pencil, ink, paint, blood or even traced in dirt) or permanently etched or inscribed beforehand, but without it, transmutation is generally impossible and all Transmutation Circles are made up of two parts:

(1)The circle itself is a conduit which focuses and dictates the flow of power, tapping into the energies that already exist within the earth and matter. It represents the cyclical flow of the world's energies and phenomena and turns that power to manipulable ends.
(2)Inside the circle are specific alchemical runes. These runes vary widely based on ancient alchemical studies, texts and experimentation, but correspond to a different form of energy, allowing the energy that is focused within the circle to be released in the way most conducive to the alchemist's desired effect.
(This was copied from an actual book I own)

He does not need a transmutation array to make his transmutations. (See History) But doing so makes it more powerful. There is a mental strain to transmuting. The more complicated the transmutation, the larger the strain. If extended, Tobais could knock himself out.

Divine intervention:
During many of Tobais darkest moments, The minds and spirits of Tobais family strengthen his resolve in the absolute best he can be. This can be given to him through means of power, a free card to break the laws of alchemy, or through a mental revelation. This can be quite destructive and powerful, but can only be activated when Tobais is either in a mental lockdown, or about to die. Tobais as the character has no control over this. In fact, He does not even know this exist.

Roleplay Sample: Is the history enough???????????
I do wanna say this: As I make and use characters, I tend to RP them differently than actually intended and eventually needs to edit them. Take Katachi, for example, I used him completely differently than the way he was first wrote out. This one got RP'd differently and I edited him respectively.

I hope you dont mind. It's now REALLY well developed, heres the original application for a comparison...

If this is approved throw the other one in the trash for me plz.[b][u]

I don't like "Alchemy for Dummies" make it an old text, actually in English instead of Italian or Latin, so that you could actually follow along you definately have the intelligence to support being a child prodigy and could have understood very complex books at the time.

Made the book Latin and changed the name to Basic Alchemy. I wanna avoid using the words "Child prodigy"

I just wanna /child prodigy discussion.

I added that one of the family members was obsessive over latin basically so that he knew a bit of latin.

I wish to add a new power:

Divine intervention:

(I seem to be RPing this power anyhow, Might as well add it in. He is my main character and cannot die. But I would like to explain how he has a divine "Main Character Immortality")

Seems fine.
