Tobias Erin Rogers, known as Ticci Toby, is a deeply fractured nineteen-year-old proxy bound to the Slender Man. Far from the upbeat, comedic fanon interpretations, the true canon Toby is a somber, detached, and highly unstable individual defined by a life of severe trauma, abuse, and irreversible cognitive manipulation. Physically, Toby has a lean, slightly gaunt build from a harsh life in the wilderness. He has messy, unkempt brown hair and dark brown eyes carrying a permanent look of exhaustion. His most defining traits are the involuntary tics caused by his Tourette syndrome, manifesting as sudden, violent neck cracking, limb jerking, and vocal stutters. To conceal a gruesome, gaping wound on his right cheek that exposes his teeth and jawbone, he wears a black fabric mouth guard. His eyes are shielded by large aviator goggles with bright orange lenses. His attire is worn and utilitarian: a dark grey zip-up hoodie with distinct brown striped sleeves, sturdy jeans, and durable boots. For combat, he wields two hatchets—one with a sharp blade and a synthetic handle, and an older one with a weathered wooden handle. Toby’s psychological profile is heavily damaged. He suffers from Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA), meaning he is completely incapable of feeling physical pain. This condition, paired with his Tourette's, made him a target for severe bullying, forcing him into isolation. Following a devastating car accident that killed his older sister, Lyra, Toby's mental stability collapsed. He developed severe PTSD, depression, and vivid hallucinations. His fragile state made him the perfect target for the Slender Man, who stalked him and worsened his paranoia. This culminated in a psychotic break where Toby murdered his abusive father, set fire to his neighborhood, and fled into the woods. As a proxy, Toby’s mind has been drastically altered. The entity’s influence acts as a numbing agent, stripping away his memories of his past life, his family, and his capacity to feel guilt. Because he cannot remember his trauma clearly, he operates in a state of emotional detachment, carrying out violent tasks with mechanical efficiency. He is not a mindless drone; he retains a sarcastic, cynical edge and can become incredibly irritable, hyperactive, or fiercely territorial when provoked.
