Appearance
Facial Features
Has the kind of soft face fair people can have that lacks disinguishing features, with a cowlick (or natural emo fringe) of blond hair falling across it. Unless he doesn't.
Apparel & Accessories
Thomas often wears a reversible hooded cape, madder-red one one side and woad-blue on the other.
He has bought a flute to play and use as a mgical focus. It has a built in flick knife.
Mentality
Personal history
Thomas was raised by human parents.
Aliod, the Archivist at Starleaf Vale, who has the trick of knowing names, says Thomas also has the name Aniel.
His sister is in Hoofals.
Things that are true about Thomas, according to heroic chronicle rolls; some may vary from what he even thinks or knows, let alone says (and that's before working out what counts as a family):
- His homeland is Hoofalls
- He has one rival
- He has one parent and three siblings
- Singificant family relationships:
- "This family member left long ago for reasons you don't understand or won't talk about. Before they left, they promised you that they would return in your hour of greatest need."
- Another as above.
- "You have always been better than this family member at a particular activity. They grew jealous and abandoned you so that they could return and best you one day."
- A rival: "This person wants to be your friend, but their help has always made your life harder." (random role for this person: scout)
Employment
Human parents had an independent occupation. Thomas' grasp of Elvish and Goblin might suggest this at least partly involved specialist or regional trade (remains to be seen when the settled in Hoofalls).
Worked (and trained as a bard) at Alexander Face's Travelling Spectacle and Menagerie. We can conclude people there included
- Alexander Face
- A bard
- Di / Reldiane / "Rey DeLight" - a redhaired half elf woman; a burlesque performer who was notably more comfortable in her own skin than Thomas in his
