He's got a fairly muscular but not thickset build, weighing around 170lbs. He has messy brown hair which he cuts whenever it starts to get in his hazel eyes and strong, rounded facial features. A couple years of school quidditch has left him with thick calluses on his hands. His skin is naturally pale but due to the amount of time he spends outside has picked up a fairly healthy tan.[/indent] [b][u]Clothing Style:[/u][/b] [indent]It took Thomas a long time to get use to wearing the flowing school robes, and he still prefers to dress in a simpler muggle style when he gets the chance. He usually wears solid jeans or cargo pants along with a t-shirt, throwing on a jacket or sweater during the colder winter months. He wears sneakers or a beaten-up pair of doc martens around the castle. His shirts usually have a muggle decal on them, along with a couple he managed to charm so that they moved like a wizarding picture would. He has a scarf in the house colours for events or when it gets particularly chilly.[/indent] [b][u]Tattoos | Scars | Markings:[/u][/b] [indent]He has a tattoo of a beater bat crossed with a wand on his upper left arm, as well as a shiny burn scar on his right forearm from an experiment gone awry.[/indent] [center][h3][color=000000][u]Behind The Mask[/u][/color][/h3][/center] [b][u]Likes:[/u][/b] [indent][list] [*]Puzzles [*]Learning new magics [*]Spending time with his friends [*]Quidditch, Flying in general[/list][/indent] [b][u]Dislikes:[/u][/b] [indent][list] [*]Dirty Quidditch [*]Apathy [*]Lies[/list][/indent] [b][u]Fears:[/u][/b] [indent][list] [*]Losing people he cares about [*]Letting his friends down [*]Losing his wand[/list][/indent] [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [center][u]♦ Curious ♦ Hard-working ♦ Loyal ♦ Friendly ♦[/u][/center] [indent]Ever since recieving his Hogwarts letter, Thomas has been incredibly curious about magic and the wizarding world. he is always willing to try a new spell or learn something new about the secret world that exists below the everyday. He likes puzzles and enjoys the sense of satisfaction he gets when he solves a tricky dilemna or masters a new skill such as a spell or tricky Quidditch play. He is a friendly sort, and can be loud and boisterious at times, but he rarely means anyone any real ill-will. He is loyal to his friends and housemates, always willing to give them a hand if they need it. He has a bit of a temper, but it is kept well under control, only coming out when there is real danger to him or his friends.[/indent] [center][h3][color=000000][u]Delving Deeper[/u][/color][/h3][/center] [b][u]Background:[/u][/b] [indent] Thomas was born to a muggle couple in the south of England and he had a fairly normal childhood growing up. His parent's split when he was seven and he went to live with his mother as she moved to London to start a new life. Times were rough for a couple of years, but Thomas could see how hard she was working to support the two of them so he did his best at school and at home to try and make it easier for her. It was after this time that Thomas started to experience his first flashes of accidental magic - levitating items, breaking glass, flashes of light. Initially he started freaking out, trying to figure outn what was making these things happen, but then he got the letter in the mail and a visit from a Ministry witch explaining magic and the nature of the wizarding world, as well as inviting him to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he turned 11. At first he was estastic at the idea, about control this strange force that had enable him to float objects with his mind and light up his room, then guilty at the thought of leaving his mother behind for so long each year, but she wouldn't hear of it, insisting he attend the school. He started his first year apprensive and nervous of this huge stone castle with it's ghosts and bustling halls but soon settled into the rhythm of everyday life at the school. He spent long hours in the library studying and practicing his spellwork, though his grades occasionally suffered when he got sidetracked by a more interesting research project (such as the one that gave him the scar on his arm), or helping one of his housemates. He earned the occasional detention for being loud or boisterious in class, or when one of his little research projects into odd charms or potions backfired hilariously, and on one memorable occasion when he got into a scuffle with another student who had tried to hex one of his friends. After his first year at Hogwarts he took up a part-time job and managed to scrap together enough gold to buy a second hand broom, which he'd take over to a housemate's with wizarding parents who lived in the country so he could practice flying, which soon became one of his favourite activities. In his third year he tried out for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and was overjoyed when he made beater. He found it meshed well with his instinct to protect his housemates, but it still took him a while to get over the small pang of guilt he felt when he smacked a flying chunk of magically enchanted rock at someone. He tries to play hard but fair, and tends to sulk for a day or two when they lose a match. He's now entering his seventh and final year at Hogwarts, and enjoying himself immensely as he runs around trying to balance various classes with Quidditch and his other activities. He's slowly become more worried as talk as started about the return of the Death Eaters, conscious of his position as a muggleborn wizard, though he tries not to pay it any mind.
