[Info] Thomas Stuff
[OTHER IC INFO.]
Star Position: Tenkai Star
Occupation: He's a multi-purpose castle master, which means he can maintain the castle and do almost anything to help run things within the premises.
Talents: Thomas is good at panicking, keeping records, reading maps, and keeping everything in order (to a certain extent). At least, for the last part, he tries. He might also have bit of an acting bug in him, depending whether or not he's forced into participating in a play.
Runes: None. Unless he's forced to get one...
Weapons: The Old Sword. At least, it starts off as an Old Sword. With time, it is smithed into a Well-Kept Sword. Further along the way, it finally becomes the Master's Sword - a title which suites Thomas well. The thing is he isn't much of a fighter. The blade is the only weapon the castle master keeps on hand, and when he does have to use it, he tries his hardest. The man may not be the best swordsman, but he can keep his skill level decent enough to hold his own in battle. And if he doesn't have his sword on hand, he'll just...throw himself into a dangerous scenario to keep a sense of order.
History: Thomas had lived in the Nameless Lands, or the Northern Outlands, for most of his life. Things were fine as they were, his mother the only family he's ever had. Of course, times never stay quiet and peaceful. Disruptions tend to happen whenever they want to, and it came in the form of some Grassland bandits attacking the small village. In the process, the boy's mother was fatally wounded. With dying breath, she told her son to find his father, wishing for the best before she left the world. Taking and keeping her words, a letter of proof, and some meager belongings, the youth made his leave to search for his other parent at Vinay del Zexay within three months' time.
In the port city, Thomas did find Lowma, a person which he had never seen or heard from before. First impressions were everything; the man was the head of the Zexen Merchant Guilds, cold, serious, and keeping to the typical mindset of someone who prioritized business over family matters. Seeing the proof the boy had on hand, Lowma quickly dismissed Thomas by bestowing the role of castle master over the run-down property of Budehuc. It was an obscure area; no one was there to maintain the land and its residents, so why not have the boy go there? Besides, the guild master didn't have to take in his illegitimate son, preserving the order of his own life and business.
The first few days at Budehuc were tough. It was hard for the young man to relate to the few residents living there, and trying to restore the castle to its former state of magnitude was harder than it seemed. It was a test which made Thomas question his abilities; the difficult scenarios, financial problems, the tension between the Grasslanders and the Zexens, to name a few. Things were just going downhill from there. All seemed lost once a Guild councilman, Durabum, decided to drop by with a group of knights to search the place for a wanted Grasslander, along with bringing forth news that the castle master either comply with unnecessary Guild orders or resign from his post. Thomas could have easily chosen the latter in his state of stressed depression. However, it didn't. He wanted to help Budehuc and its inhabitants. Thomas' determination helped him decide to change the area into a free trade center, a place where all were welcomed no matter their background or ranking. This led to a few more problems with the Guild, but Budehuc did get the establishment it deserved with support from the Zexen Knights, the Grasslanders, and the ragtag group of mercenaries. The castle also provided a place for the new Flame Champion to set up camp. With that, the fight against Harmonian armies continued as the united lands charged onward to stop the Destroyers from destroying their known world.
And, as history stated, the Flame Champion and his followers came out victorious. Thomas returned to his normal work routine in Budehuc soon after. Within the next six years, the castle master was now busy dealing with other newcomers showing up from different timelines and places he's never even been to. This did bring up some spacial trouble, but newer buildings were added onto and around the small castle/manor without any delays. Other disturbances also arrived inside and out of Budehuc's territory, and peace, for the time being, was put on hold. There were matters to settle between enemies, allies, and other outside parties alike, and Thomas found himself to be quite busy traveling in between towns and cities.
His absence from Budehuc varied during such, leaving the original residents and other appointed leaders in charge while he's away. These are the people he can trust whenever he couldn't be around to help, people who know what they are doing. And although his travels are long and his timing sometimes off, he always returns. And this time, Thomas hopes to stay at home without any other interruptions.
