It's always a struggle when you lose your parents to a great tragedy and Tobin has had that happen when His parents were murdered by Team Flare Boss Lysandre when he erased the two from existence by using the power of Yveltal's Oblivion Wing. Tobin is an only child and he got his powers from the cells of Mew and Arceus.


For the FA Pokémon Universe, Tobin is a Human-turned-Pokémon who is not used to being a Pokémon entirely. He's become a hybrid shifter who's default Hybrid form is a cross between Arceus and Mewtwo (Arctwo). Tobin would often have thoughts of his parents and would always cry when these thoughts come around.
