Stuff about the character's personality goes here!

Tobio Arcas Sterling was born to a recently married couple in Westport, Washington. His father, Christopher Sterling, was a mechanic with his own shop just down the street from the house Tobio was raised in. His mother, Kimber Sterling, was a teacher for young teens at the local high school. They lived in a small house on a hill overlooking the oceanside with a fenced in yard, a pool, and all the other bells and whistles a home could have. It was a perfect little place to raise a family and the Sterling family couldn't have asked for anything better.

Despite their day jobs, Christopher and Kimber spent quite a lot of time with their son. The couple spoiled Toby with knowledge, creativity, kindness, and faith. At a young age Tobio learned to be respectful, polite, and friendly towards all. He learned how to harness his imagnation and draw, as well as learned basic kindergarten skills much earlier than other kids his age. Tobio grew up spending lots of time in the kitchen with his mom, or outside with his dad, and on special occassions they'd all go out to the boat and hang out for the day on the ocean. But of course, most importantly, every Sunday the Sterling family would visit church like it was their second home.

Unfortunately, when he was 4 years old, Toby's entire world changed after a terrible car accident took his parents away. After a week or so of the authorities figuring out what to do with the now orphaned child, Toby was sent to live with his aunt Phoebe in Silver City, Oregon. However, upon arriving to Phoebe Sterling's apartment home, it turned out she had no idea that Toby even existed since she and her brother hadn't been on speaking terms for years!

With the news of Christopher's death hitting her hard enough, Phoebe felt betrayed by her late brother and almost attempted to reject guardianship of her nephew out of spite. However news of Tobio's arrival quickly got out at the police station Phoebe worked at and, to save face, she reluctantly took responsibility for the 4 year old. She didn't want kids. She didn't even like kids. She wanted nothing to do with this boy who was nothing more than a stranger, but he was an obligation now and she had to deal with it.

Phoebe Sterling was an officer of the law, finding herself away from home for extended periods of time, leaving her new charge home alone to fend for himself. Even long before Tobio's arrival, in her free time Phoebe usually liked to hang around the bar near work, and when she was home, Phoebe drank until she fell asleep. With increasing levels of neglect, Tobio found himself alone and taking care of himself most of the time. Being only a child and not understanding the danger, Toby's adventerous spirit lead him to leaving the apartment without adult supervision.

One day, on his many outdoor adventures, he had a chance encounter at the park with Maverick Kerrigan, a young doctor from the nearby hospitol, who showed concerns on why a young boy was wandering around town without a guardian. Maverick was happy enough that he managed to convince the boy to go home, unfortunatly he saw him the next day, and the next, and the next...? Noticing the clear signs of neglect from the boy physically and emotionally, Maverick started looking for more information on the Sterling family. The first place he went, of course, was the police station where he got to meet Tobio's dear aunt Phoebe in person for the first time officially. He'd seen her around but never talked to her before, and it was a surprise, and disappointment, to find that the local known alchoholic cop was the one who was supposed to be taking care of such a bright young boy.

From that day forward, Maverick tried getting more involved in the Sterling family. He would go out of his way to find Toby if the boy had left the apartment and hang out with him for the day. He even attempted to talk to Pheobe when he saw her at the bar from time to time, sometimes managing to convince her to return home. And few weeks into visiting with them regularly, Tobio convinced Phoebe to let Maverick come over to the apartment.
