A Wiki and Links Request

Sep 14, 2007 05:22

For those of you who already have ties with me, there's a significant change in that I've changed the character's name from Thomas to Tobias. I really liked the sound of Tommy, but after having it come head to head with another character to whom he's tied, as well as finding out there's another character in play named Thomas Thorn...I figured it'd be best to just find something else that worked. So...Toby instead of Tommy.

To the rest of the world! I've listed a few things on the wiki that I'm looking for in ties, but I'll re-list them here to keep things brief.

Other children to be 'Lost Boys', after a fashion.
People to have helped find a way out of the Hedge while still in Arcadia.
People to have helped relocate/settle once out of Arcadia.
People/Freeholds to have helped defend against incursions from the Hedge and beyond.
People to have stood beside in sundry battles of the same sort.
Black Hats to live up to his name and be a thorn in the side of.
White Hats to establish camaraderie with!
Grey and Black Hats that he might want to try and save from themselves.
Currently not seeking any romantic ties. (not that I'm being pestered, just wanted to state it ahead of time)
Other Blackbird Bishops.
Anything else that seems to fit that I might not be thinking of.

Thorn is a Wildwing Beast whose Keeper is named Dainreich the Dragoon, the Archduke of Terror. He lived his time in the Hedge (1982-2000) without any real comprehension of just how long he was there. If asked, he can't tell you how long he was there because for him there was only today. Yesterday and tomorrow were arcane, abstract concepts, yesterday tending to fade into an amalgam of experiences that all molded into one universal thing and tomorrow never really existing beyond conceptual form, because it always became today.

He lived in his woods with other children who, like him, had been taken for the Dragoon's hunting pleasure. They didn't really die, though if caught they were punished in the expected, over the top fashions...but never so much that they would forget the two lessons imparted; do not cease to fear the Dragoon, do not allow yourself to be captured again in the same fashion. Each of the children was lead, after a fashion, to believe that they were the most capable and favored prey and that punishing them was only just because it would make them better. Thorn was sometimes taken to compete in a Coliseum when he was captured and made to fight for his life for the amusement of the Gentry.

Escaping Arcadia, Thorn is a vastly different young man these days. He's very focused, without seeming to have a dishonest or manipulative bone in his body. The wild mask of youth has given way to a fairly earthy, simple, true, and dedicated young man who seethes with rage beneath a surface of piety, trying very hard to be good in spite of himself. He traveled for a few years, meeting people, seeing the world, fighting the good fight wherever he went.
