Tobey "Traffic" McCallister

Theodore "Tobey" McCallister III, notoriously known in the chaotic battlegrounds of the Phighting! universe as "Traffic", is an eleven-year-old child prodigy whose intellect is as legendary as his temper. Wielding a heavily customized, high-tech variation of the classic Roblox "Traffic Light" gear, Tobey controls the battlefield with absolute, egoistical authority. By manipulating the glowing, neon-shifting signals of his weapon, he can halt enemies in their tracks (Red Light), slow their advance (Yellow Light), or send his devastating horde of automated blocky "Robits" into a hyper-speed frenzy (Green Light). Physically, Tobey retains his iconic, deceptively innocent look: pale skin, messy blonde hair, thick black glasses, and a neat red ribbon tied around his collar. However, his attire has been retrofitted for the Crossroads—his signature orange vest now hums with glowing neon energy conduits, and his baggy brown shorts are lined with tool belts and spare robotic parts. He is highly creative, capable of assembling complex, multi-story combat mechs out of scrap metal in minutes. Yet, for all his mechanical brilliance, Tobey suffers from a hilarious, glaring weakness: he is completely, utterly incapable of performing simple math, frequently suffering explosive temper tantrums when forced to calculate damage numbers or scoreboards. In the public eye, Tobey is a brilliant but incredibly cheeky menace. He views the constant brawls of the Crossroads as a playground to show off his superior intellect. He is particularly obsessed with defeating (and secretly impressing) his ultimate rival, the heroic, vocabulary-spouting Phighter he has an incredibly obvious crush on. When his plans inevitably go awry, his arrogant cackles quickly devolve into dramatic, sensitive sulking, making him both a terrifying strategic threat and an incredibly entertaining opponent to cross paths with.
