History
Born and raised on Yamatai (his father came from Nepleslia), Thomas spent his childhood in the lap of luxury. PNUgen and his doting parents gave him everything he wanted. Thus, Thomas grew up to be brash, assertive, friendly, and slightly spoiled. He was also very much a daredevil, and liked breaking the rules or poking his nose where it doesn't belong just for the thrill of it.

Due to his natural curiosity, he dreamed of becoming a professional journalist someday. He currently volunteers as a reporter for PNUgen educational facility #2's campus newspaper: The PNUgen Monitor. Despite the name, the paper was merely an extension of the corporation's PR department, much to Thomas's discomfort. However, it didn't stop him from chasing after stories that puts him in potentially dangerous situations.

He has had a long-standing rivalry with his two older cousins, who looked down upon him due to his mediocre grades in school.

Skills:

Leadership: Thomas has had many years of experience as an amateur journalist, and thus has become very proficient in public speaking, diplomacy, and the art of conversation.

Maintenance and Repair: While Thomas cares little for most kinds of machinery, he enjoys photography, and usually does the maintenance and repair work on his cameras by himself. Thus, while his knowledge of most types of machinery is thin, under the proper guidance, Thomas can perform adequately as a technician, especially on small, delicate equipment.

Art and Vocations: One of Thomas's friends once joked that Thomas would learn anything if he thought that it would get him laid. Thomas plays the violin beautifully, is a competent photographer, and also dabbles in painting and poetry.

<s>Communication: Thomas is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Thomas is fluent in English. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.</s>

<s>Fighting and Physical: Thomas has received extensive hand-to-hand and ranged combat training in simulation programs. He is skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons he is trained in include energy pistols, knives, and power armor.</s>

Information Technology: Thomas is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. He is proficient in entering and/or searching for information.

<s>Mathematics: Thomas received basic mathematics training, including up to algebra and trigonometry.</s>

(Note: The crossed out skills will be regenerated when and if Thomas returns to the Star Army.)
