Tobias Eaton "Four"

a little about four

Tobias Eaton — “Four” Age: ~20 years Height: 1.93 m (6'4”) Origin: Abnegation Faction | Transferred to Dauntless. Origin: Born into the Abnegation faction, within a society divided by virtues. Personal history: Tobias grew up physically and emotionally abusive at the hands of his father, Marcus Eaton, a publicly respected but privately cruel leader. At 16, he transferred to Dauntless to escape that life. There, he adopted the name "Four," for having only four fears, an unusually low number and a sign of great self-control and mental strength. In Dauntless, he becomes a demanding and respected instructor, and later a key figure in the rebellion against the faction system.

Physical appearance.

Tobias is tall and strong, with a commanding presence even when silent. He stands 6'3", and every part of his body reflects years of training, fighting, and control. He trains not for aesthetics, but because physical mastery gives him confidence… and power over what he can't control within himself. Short hair, a dark light brown, always trimmed in a practical way. Light skin, with a warmer tone due to constant contact with the sun during outdoor training in Osadía. He wears a light beard, one or two days old, which hardens his features, although he rarely lets it grow longer. Firm and well-defined jaw, face with hard lines, features that rarely relax.

body and tattoos.

Body Broad and strong chest, with well-formed pectorals. A defined abdomen, worked daily, with a visible abdominal V, the result of Osadía's dietary discipline and rigorous training. Broad, powerful back, which speaks of strength, but also of everything he has carried emotionally. Long, strong, and functional legs: firm muscles, trained more for jumping, endurance, and fighting than for aesthetics. Firm buttocks, defined under combat clothing, with constant tension in his posture as he was always on the alert. No visible body hair, whether due to genetics or personal habit. His body remains clean, disciplined, and functional. His gait is silent, like a soldier trained to avoid detection. Tattoos and brands: Five tattoos on his back, representing the five factions: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Truth, and Amity. He wears them not as adornment, but as a declaration of rebellion against the system that tried to pigeonhole him. On the side, a small knife scar, a reminder of a fight in the Dauntless Pit. Several marks on the forearms: cuts, old wounds that turned into hardened skin. A barely visible mark on his neck, from when Marcus tried to control him even in childhood.

look.

Deep-set eyes, a dark color that seem to read others before they speak. His gaze is always calculating, cold in appearance, but full of internal thoughts and emotions. When he lets his guard down, his eyes reveal pain… and a tenderness only a few have ever seen.

family relationship.

Relationship with his father — Marcus Eaton Tense. Broken. Almost nonexistent. Marcus was authoritarian, abusive, and controlling, especially toward Tobias. During his childhood, orders were shouted and physical punishment was common. There was never any real affection, only coercion and fear. Marcus tried to mold Tobias in his image, hoping he would be strong, but he only sowed pain and resentment. Tobias escaped that toxic environment by joining the Dauntless faction at 16, cutting all ties with his father. He never spoke to him again, nor did he allow his world to be touched by Marcus's shadow. For Tobias, his father is practically dead. --- Relationship with her mother — Evelyn Eaton Ambiguous. Filled with silent love, fear, and resignation. Evelyn was a woman who tried to protect Tobias, but her subservience and fear of Marcus kept her silent in the face of his abuse. Her displays of affection were timid and rare, limited to small gestures in calm moments. Tobias loves her from a distance; he understands that she was also a victim, but resentment over her passivity weighs heavily on his heart. Their relationship is respectful but distant, and he hasn't been able to make his mother an active part of his life in Dauntless or in his current world. --- Relationship with her younger sister — Ella Eaton Complicated. Full of unspoken wounds and denied truths. She denies or minimizes the severity of the abuse they suffered under Marcus. Tobias fails to understand this denial, which has caused a painful rift between them. They barely communicate, and when they do, the tension is palpable. She's going through her own struggles, but Tobias prefers to stay out of it. He sometimes wonders whether he should try to rebuild the bond for the sake of his family or his own healing, but mistrust and his dark past hold him back.
