Tobi Argent/2.0 and Prior

Tobi Argent is a character role-played by FairKingTobi.

General Description
Tobi is a manipulative, meticulous, deceptive, flirtatious individual who struggles with who he is as a person due to, what he considers, his greatest weakness...Empathy. Since the death of his boyfriend Jaden Sparks and finding an in to get to know his birth mother Chasity Dawes, Tobi spiraled down a very dark and dangerous rabbit hole into the serial killer underworld. With the new found dangers surrounding him because of those he associated with, and the information left behind by Jaden Sparks, Tobi became a very resourceful and, to some, dangerous information broker.

Even while surrounded by enablers pushing Tobi to maim, murder, and/or torture individuals, he always stood by his basic moral value that he didn't want to hurt anyone. However, that moral value only held true in so far as hurting people himself. Tobi couldn't have cared less if someone was murdered and/or hurt, and often times nudged individuals (like Chasity Dawes, Jasper Saxon, Alexandra Moroz, & Joshua Wade) into doing just that. He simply refused to be the one to do the deed himself as he would find his empathy for their pain and suffering too much to handle and would release them.

Tobi is very fond of stalking anyone and everyone in the city, taking pictures and/or making concerning private calls to individuals, as he finds it amusing seeing people panic and writhe over a looming threat. He has even gone so far as to make specific individuals close to him (like Petunia Brookshire) think he had been kidnapped, tortured, and stabbed, because she failed a riddle he had given her on a private call using text to speech, purely to see how she reacted.

Tobi also likes to consider himself the phonebook of Los Santos, as he has over 1,200+ phone numbers saved in his phone. This helps him greatly when he wishes to amuse himself, gets random phone calls from people unknown to him, and to supply the serial killers he aids if needed.

Chasity and the Minor Arcana
While Tobi was getting close to his mother, he wound up helping her with her second art project which dealt with the minor arcana of the Tarot. Chasity would often ask Tobi for his opinion on certain individuals she wished to hurt, and often times left it up to him if someone was ultimately made a part of her deck or not. During the art project, Tobi helped Chasity murder or attempt to murder a total of 44 individuals.

After his mothers death, Tobi updated her website, lossantosartist.com (no longer available), and then turned himself into Lauren Forcer. He admitted to being an accomplice to the above 44 murders and attempted murders, because had he not, he feared he would've become unhinged and went on a murdering spree. Tobi was broken out of prison along with Jasper Saxon and others, but immediately turned himself back into custody as he was approved for a Writ of Habeas Corpus shortly prior to the jailbreak. However due to the writ, and frustration of events that had happened that night, Lauren released Tobi and dropped the case entirely. This resulted in Tobi starting up a Death Record business, getting an expungement, and ultimately becoming a lawyer to also draft up Wills in conjunction with his Death Record business and Honey Quickk & Betty Swallox's funeral home. Cornering the market on death so to speak.

Parsons
As of 12/30/2020 Tobi was self admitted into Parsons Rehabilitation Center by Pixie Plum & Justice Wayne Ardson (With Chief Justice Buck Stanton, Chief Justice Dennis LaBarre, & Justice Ray Montag all in attendance). Tobi had gone to Pixie and asked to be admitted due to having been seeing his dead mother Chasity Dawes for months after her death. Tobi is fully aware that she is dead, and that who he was seeing was his mind playing tricks on him.

When it first started happening, he found comfort in it, being able to see his mother even though she had passed away. While he was in groups or with other people, he would rarely see her, it's not until he's alone that he sees her all the time. After the first few weeks, just seeing her would turn into whispers, telling him to do things. When he was alone, or trying to sleep, she would be next to his ear telling him how much of a disappointment he was to her. After the first month, he wouldn't just see her, she would be right next to him, trying to guide him. Telling him what he should do, to whom, and her own twisted reasoning for it. After Tobi had ignored her for so long, it turned into her screaming at him, keeping him awake for days on end, emotionally torturing him. Until the day Joshua Wade died.

Chasity threw blame to Tobi for his death, had he listened to her he would still be alive. The constant emotional terrorism, screaming, and sleep deprivation drove Tobi to his breaking point. After sending text messages to all those he loved, essentially saying goodbye, he picked up Ari Preston (an ADA), from MRPD and took her to the overlook where Tobi had revealed to Chasity that he was her child. Once there, he left a note on the edge of the cliff which read:


 * When you are mourning, emotions and memories come in waves. Much like waves at an ocean, they come and leave of their own accord. You cannot control waves in the ocean; neither can you control emotions or memories when you are mourning. At times, emotions will be overwhelming and take you without warning. You wont be done with them until they are done. You may try to delude yourself that you are in control of them, but you're not. Its the same with memories. Memories you didn't even know you had may arrive, seemingly from nowhere, and, again like waves, you are not in control of them. These waves will come and go according to their own course of time, heavier and harder now, and lighter in the future; but today, I hold out hope that the waves recede forevermore.


 * I should've died when she stabbed me on that mountain, but I survived. I should've been imprisoned or shot when I turned myself in, but again....I survived. I've lived far longer than I should've, and it's time I finally be with my family.


 * -Tobi Argent

After placing the note, Ari Preston went to go read it, and Tobi took out his gun. After reading the note and turning around, Tobi held the gun to her. Tobi then threw the gun to Ari, pulled out his knife, and told her to shoot him, otherwise he was going to kill her. Ari refused, saying that it wasn't fair for him to traumatize someone like this, and pleaded with him to let her go. Against his better judgement, and Chasity screaming in his ear to murder her, his empathy for the position he put her in won and he let her go. He dropped the knife, gave her the keys to his vehicle, and went back to the cliff edge to look at the overlook while Ari drove off.

A few days later Tobi had somewhat returned to normal, got some sleep, and chalked it up to sleep deprivation. He avoided his job and the court house in fear that Ari had made a police report about what he had done. It wasn't until he was having a meeting with Kenneth Jesperson on top of a mountain side overlooking the observatory, that he realized he needed help. During the meeting, Tobi did not feel like himself at all. He accepted a bloodied smiley pin, something he had denied for months due to his neutral stance between serial killers. He 'jokingly' attempted to throw Smiley off the mountain, but it was him pulling out a knife and cutting Mr. Smileys arm that concerned him. He did it without any thought or hesitation, almost as if it was natural, and later cut him again making a 'T' on his arm, essentially engraving him. This gravely concerned Tobi, as he saw himself becoming his mother, so he ultimately went to Pixie and self admitted himself to Parsons Rehabilitation Center for Psychiatric care.

Charlotte Moore ultimately diagnosed Tobi with Bereavement Hallucinations. She believed that since Tobi started seeing Chasity after her passing, and the whispers turned into screams after Joshua Wade passed, that it was partly due to grieving and partly due to Tobi throwing blame on himself for their deaths. She gave him the tools necessary to drown out the whispers, try and forgive himself for things out of his control, and hopefully eliminate the whispers and hallucinations in time. However given Chasity was diagnosed with a psychosis, she wants Tobi to be very watchful over his condition and seek help at the first sign of anything going awry. In the event it is not Bereavement Hallucinations, she will then attempt anti depressants or anti psychotics, and further therapy to diagnose him properly.
