Relationship Status: Recently out of a relationship
Family: 
[list][*]James Carpenter – Identical twin brother. James and Thomas get on really well together, even if Thomas can be a bit of a drag on him. Thankfully, James lets Thomas live with him, - for a small fee - and Thomas quite likes it, as he loves children.
[*]Phillip Carpenter – Father. James and Thomas’s father is a kind and loving man, and tried to raise them as best he could, as he knew that his haemophilia could be the death of him – literally.
[*]Christine Carpenter – Mother. James and Thomas did not get to see much of their mother. Unfortunately, she died of breast cancer when they were six. All they know of her are the memories from before then.
[*]Sarah Carpenter – Sister-in-law. Sarah and Thomas get on alright. Thomas can tell that Sarah is tired of having Thomas live with him, but is happy that he looks after Alex, does some chores, and pays some rent, even if it is the small amount that James lets him pay.
[*]Alex Carpenter – Nephew. Thomas’s three year old nephew, Alex, is one of the main reasons for his existence. He’s the person that he loves the most in the world, barring James. He regularly looks after him, and would protect him at all costs.

Occupation: Part time worker at a supermarket.

In Depth Appearance: Thomas is 6’ 4” tall, just like his brother. He is also 250lbs just like his brother. This is because of his days as a high school hockey player, and then when Thomas came back from university, he went to the gym a lot, firstly to catch up to his brother, and secondly to ensure that nobody found out that he has a cocaine addiction. Now that he lives with his brother, he can go to the gym with him, which he does so almost every day. Just like James, Thomas has brown eyes, and dark brown hair, which he keeps short on the sides and longer on the top. He also shaves his stubble, due to it being very dark, and almost black. Thomas wears a t shirt and jeans when he’s out or at the gym, and usually wears nothing more than underwear and a t shirt when he’s at home, only bothering to put shoes, socks, and jeans on when someone’s round.

Biography:
Then: Thomas was born to Phillip and Christine Carpenter in Thornhill, Pennsylvania. His father was of British and Irish origin, whilst his mother was Pennsylvania Dutch. Both of his parents were Catholic, and therefore he was raised one, too. As he grew up with his twin brother, Thomas spoke some German, although a majority of his conversations were in English. Unfortunately, Christine developed breast cancer when Thomas was just five, and died when he was six. After his mother died, Thomas’s use of German declined sharply, as his father did not speak it very well.

When he was growing up Thomas’s father, Phillip, did the best that he could to ensure that his children had a good childhood, as he had haemophilia. Thankfully, a father cannot pass the gene for haemophilia down to his son, which meant that they were safe. However, he wanted to make sure that in case he got a bad infection and became seriously unwell, or even worse, died, that his children had good memories of him, even if they weren’t with their mother too. This lead to Thomas being pushed to do sports, and he ended up playing a lot of ice hockey, unlike his brother, James, who became a famous football player.

During the filming of Nowhere, Thomas was much less inhibited that James. Thomas didn’t mind drinking a lot, and even used drugs more than a couple of times. This led to Thomas getting a slight cocaine addiction, but nobody thought anything of it, and he claimed to have overcome it by the end of the series. He also kissed a few girls, and also a guy (however, they both say it was a dare), but no relationships began with him – or so they thought.
Between: After the filming on Nowhere, Thomas continued to secretly using cocaine, managing to hide it from anyone. He also managed to hide the fact that he was actually bisexual, not telling anyone that the guy he had kissed was actually became he had a crush on him. Over the course of a couple of years, Thomas got a couple of girlfriends, but not for too long. When he was about 21, he came into contact with the guy that he kissed at a party during the filming of Nowhere. They both confessed that they were bisexual/gay, and had a crush on the other. After that, they decided to go out. However, with both of them saying that they were straight, they had no choice to keep their relationship a secret. This relationship lasted for just over five years, until three months before the beginning of Somewhere, when Thomas’s boyfriend broke up with him. Thomas went to university in Albany, before moving back to Thornhill.

Now: Thomas is still reeling in after being dumped, and since he’s still not out, he can’t talk to his brother about it, even though they talk about everything together. He is also still struggling to get off of cocaine, but makes sure that nobody finds out, not even his brother. He does this by eating as healthily as possible, and going to the gym with his brother, and even does the same exercises.
