Title: Trap Tobias in something else
Post by: wolfev on January 17, 2009, 08:35:07 PM
Tobias could have easily trapped himself in many different morphs but he chose the hawk. I was wondering what else he could have trapped himself in. Dude was one potential option. Basically he wanted freedom with a powerful body.

I think he chose hawk because that was the one he was actually in at the pool.  I don't think he would've gone the length to demorph, then remorph just to trap himself in cat form.  He didn't really have many more morphs.

No other form would've been as perfect of a fit for Tobias other than a hawk. The freedom of being a bird of prey, of being at the top of the food chain rather than below, was everything he desired.

Yeah, the hawk was an escape for Tobias.  It would be easier to find that with an animal that could fly.

I do remember in the fanfic series Pokemorphs ~snerk~ that the "Tobias" character was trapped as a Mankey.  I always wondered why not Pidgey or ...Spearow or something. xDD

And wow, I seem to have forgotten the names of the evolutions for those two.

No, someone else did it (screen name "Rachel", at Pokemasters, IIRC), a very long time ago.

Unfortunately, a search of my archives so severely degraded performance (thanks to Linux bug #12309) that I had to stop.  I'm fairly sure, though, that I deleted my copy (stupid!).  I'll look around Google next.

Nothing would make you feel more free than being able to fly, and the hawk was his bird morph.

tobias considered to be a hawk or osprey at the first, but he chose hawk. hawk is his way to escape and freedom, but he really wanted to be fully human again...

i always wanted to see him stuck in a mountain lion morph.

would be a pain to go into town though.

Honestly, I can't see him as anything as a hawk. I've been brainwashed, lol.

I kind of like the mountain lion morph, though (above). At least he'd be in a better fighting morph.

But in all honesty, the 'morphs would be screeewed if they didn't have their 'eye in the sky'

Seriously.  How many times did Tobias warn them or save them from utter destruction.  In 7, I think, he swooped in through a window and saved them.

What book is it that Tobias tries to kill himself by flying through the glass roof of the mall? Thats some pretty heavy stuff.

ya that was pretty heavy for a kids book.

i dk, other than maybe some other kinda bird, i cant think of any morph that woulda been more useful and worked out as well as the hawk did. altho had he morphed a golden eagle he wouldnt have had to have been so afraid of them. no messes with a golden eagle, they take down baby deer. do u realize how big a baby deer is compared to a bird? like seriously, awesome

Maybe, but as they tell David the eagle's size could have been a problem in the long run, besides I think it was a convinient way for Tobias to still have bullies to deal with, as if to say "have you really escaped from all you problems?" not that he himself didn't point out a multitude (or like five or six) of other reasons why the morph wasn't exactly heaven 24/7.
