For no other reason than I can, here's Thomas's actual build:
- tall (6'2") and lanky
- legs so long he looks kinda awkward sat down
- flat arse

After well over a year of Thomas building, another change to his backstory; his brief, three week engagement to his ex-lover of three years, Silvester, is now a three week marriage.
The OC grows! And I have done minor tweaks before but this one is. Fairly major, overall.

Haven't gone into this very much but I want to emphasise it.
Thomas has had fantasies about being 'rescued' and swept away from all his pains and past by a handsome knight in shining armour since he was a teenager, inspired by a battered old book he treasured on the streets.

The Dream Guardian plot for Tav/Durge, by sheer chance, works perfectly for Thomas.
He's had that desire to be 'saved' by a shining prince, a knight in gleaming armour, since he was a small boy (influenced by a battered old book). DG appearing at such a frightening point? Whew.

Thomas's first kiss as a teen was with a lad something like a year older than him who he'd been getting into regular rough fights with.
They kissed after a particularly great fight, then spent a lot of time kissing for like a month after.

It's easy to get to know Thomas as a passionate romantic, kind lad and sweetheart, but do know that he is indeed guarded as FUCK at first and known around his area of the docks as a grouch.
His resting face is very much '>:|' in public, and in normal circumstances. 😆

Carnations are Thomas's flower as a whole, long have been. They're a flower with all kinds of colours and symbol... not grand like the rose, but treasured. Suits my lad. [1/?]

Tom's cheek scar (way thicker than you see in screenshots) covers most of his right cheek, and while it fades over the years, it never fully vanishes.
He also has very little feeling left in that area it covers. The wound that caused it was... rough, I'll say that.

Thomas has three things I'd count as self-care that are super important to him:
- Alone time playing his lute
- Venting out in his poetry journal
- His haircare time
The last of those is a necessity but he makes it a comfort as well. Does it slow, carefully, quietly. [1/9]

DAY 12: COMPLIMENT
Thomas isn't quick to compliment, but not slow, either? He'll give one when he thinks it's warranted and is super sincere and direct about it.

Thomas expects loyalty, affection and friendship, and considers those the basics. He offers them back in abundance, along with his passion, devotion and strength.
He'd LIKE to be romanced (think flowers and poetry) but doesn't expect it. [1/5]

Tag remembered, anyways. Thomas uses the word 'fuck' a lot; he might be a poet on the quiet who has a huge range of words to be creative with, but you know what always feels great to say and is GREAT relief when mad or hurt?
A good FUCK.
So it remains his favourite word. 😘
