where to begin, where to begiiin...
back when i was a kid i read the animorphs book series, and i fell in love with the name of the character Tobias, not only because it sounded cool, but because he was stuck in his falcon form. he was a prisoner in his own body, a paradox which i didnt understand until i was much older and had fallen out of interest with the story. but the name never escaped my mind.
later on, in 7th grade, i decided id try making a video game, and of course i didnt own a computer nor know anything about computers, so of course all i did was draw out all the world maps and character information and pomegranate out on paper, and then i hit the point where i began working on the characters. it was there where i remembered the name of the boy trapped in the falcon form, and i decided that the main character was going to be named tobias.
then the game idea died in 9th grade and changed into a comic, where i started to flesh out the design and story for the character, wherein i added the last name Black, and Tobias was now more complete than before.
then, years passed, and i found out about maplestory from an ad in a gaming magazine...
well, the name still holds meaning to me, as well as one other identity ive developed in the past 3 years.
