APPEARANCE:
Tobias is a human male right at 6'2 inches tall, and appears an inch taller while wearing his boots. He has short, unkempt blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. The smuggler also keeps a short goatee that matches his short hair. Mr. Ross is rather solidly built, a byproduct of his time in the service as well as his metabolism. Typically he can be found normal gray trousers, his boots, a simple shirt and a leather or cloth jacket. Under his shirt stands one simple tattoo he received upon his induction into the Sith military. The dog-tags around his neck are reminders of his time when he served in the Sith Empire military, but he keeps those hidden. A simple ring of silver with the initials "DWW" carved on the inside always stays on his right ring finger. Despite his many financial debts, he values those two things more than anything.
He can typically be found with three things always on his belt:
Sonic servodriver.

BIOGRAPHY:
If you ever met Tobias Ross in a bar, he would be the guy playing poker and laughing with a group of people. He's as confident as he is loud, and he will be quick to tell you he's a proud employee for Silk Industries. Taking the Jackdaw wherever he is assigned, he will tell you he's a simple man living the dream. His good looks, and athletic build hint at a past that was quite active, and the two blaster weapons on his belt hint that he knows how to handle himself. Scars on his hands tell stories that he quickly dodges, instead talking about the bar fights he has been in with Gammoreans. At the end of the night he will have out drank a few, but he likes to self-medicate himself and he either ends up going back to his ship or he will go home with whatever flavor of the night will have him.
On the nights he doesn't go home alone, he quickly leaves. Totally incapable of forming close bonds with anyone, he will be gone before the sun goes up. A drifter by nature, he refuses to be in one place for too long. Most think it's just because he's always moving freight, but the reality is far different. His vessel also always smuggles whatever the local crime boss needs him to move, and he has no qualms about what he will ship. All that matters at the end of the day is that he has enough credits to pay the bills and the loan sharks back. A few bounties out on your head always helps keep a man distant, but the truth is a far more sad than that.
It was the nightmares.
Every night he relives the deaths of all his friends when Moridin's Empire took Malachor V, their blood forever staining his hands. His time in the Imperial military spanning from the tender age of eight years old all the way up until s17 years old. Multiple battles only broke his heart further, and the deaths of all those he had been forced to serve with as a child forever haunting him at night. The question he always came back to was why he had been conscripted at such a young age from the orphanage he had been at. That was why he only spoke of the present, because the past only brought him more and more questions, and all those left him at one central one.
Why did he wake up at an orphanage at the age of six years old with memories that didn't make sense and no living family?
That was the central question on his mind, but after working for Silk for five years he had put enough distance between himself and his past. Not a soul knew his past, and only a few knew he was a smuggler. Now if he could pay off his ship, and all of his debts and just live his life. It wouldn't matter to him if he ever answered a single question about his past, or found out who his family was. The way Tobias sees it, if they gave him up he didn't need to see them anyways.
So he kept his questions and dreams to himself, and hoped that the Bounty Hunters wouldn't catch up to him.
