Toby Gaters

Toby Gaters is a student in the Northern Illuma Academy and a member of the Illuma Protection Committee. As a skilled ability user, he is one of the core members of the Committee, often acting as the vanguard.

Appearance
Toby is tall and slim, with brown eyes and blond hair swept backwards. He typically wears a red coat with a high collar and white designs, a white shirt, black pants and shoes. At school, he wears his school uniform with his shirt untucked.

During his younger years, he had his blond hair down.

Personality
People often misinterpret Toby as a bad-boy and a dangerous person. Combined with his looks, it gives him a tough-guy appearance which sometimes make people feel intimidated. Beneath the facade, Toby is actually a lazy person with an overconfident, cocky, and irresponsible attitude, earning him the ire of fellow member Margaret Saville.

Despite his looks, Toby is smart and quick-witted, being able to think and react quickly and is a skilled alchemist. He often takes the role of a fool or prankster and likes to engage with foolish activities together with his friends and gets himself into trouble frequently. He is shown to be kind and care a lot for his friends, willing to jump into danger to save them or do anything to help them. And at times, he can also show seriousness when needed.

Transmutation
After the Greater Horizon, Toby gained the ability to transmute objects. Being skilled in the use of his ability, this allows him to create and wield weapons in combat. He can also transmute and manipulate elements. The created weapons can range from simple swords, to much more complicated weapons such as guns.

Toby's speed in transmuting was noted to be very excellent and fast for an ability user of his age. As such, he was invited to be part of the Committee. This immense speed of transmutation is the result of practicing and perfecting his ability to the utmost level. He can create weapons such as swords, gauntlets and staffs in quick succession, allowing him to quickly equip himself should he require a weapon or his current weapon be destroyed or lost. His weapons often take form of rapiers, long swords, sabers, double-edged swords, clubs, bats, maces and even modified handguns thus earning him the name The Walking Weapon Forge.

Magic
Although not really good in magic, Toby is shown to use magic and magic-related items at times. He has a limited knowledge of magic, in contrast to his vast knowledge of his own ability. He can cast simple spells and use magic items without any trouble.
