[b][PERSONALITY][/b]
[indent]Tommy is a bit of a paradox as he is simultaneously incredibly lazy and clever, mostly being clever enough to find a way to keep being lazy. It's either all or nothing for him. He is a lover once he gets attached to someone he truly and dearly cares for them. It is this tendency to do all he can for those he cares for that gets him in hot water so to speak. He acts younger than his age as a way to lower other people’s guard. Tommy tends to voice his worries and opinions out loud irrespective of others around him, when people take offence he grumpily tells them not to eavesdrop.[/indent]
[b][BACKSTORY][/b]
[indent]Tommy didn’t initially bother with cultivating his quirk as it was more of a hindrance than something good. Deadbeat parents sending him out each day to collect loose change or lost treasures as if they were using a metal detector on a beach. Eventually though he felt frustrated at home, everyone looked twofaced, half-starved Tommy just went out one day and didn’t return. Incidentally Tommy Sparks isn’t his real name. Tommy deliberately forgot his real name to help run from them.

Cultivating an ‘innocent and adorable’ appearance and mannerisms allowed Tommy to get away with a lot, eventually Tommy realised his quirk could be used in a highly profitable way. Namely winning at pachinko. Making little metal balls fall where he wanted? What better way to fine tune control over a quirk? Slowly Tommy began earning a profit by just sitting down in front of a noise maker and having the metal balls land where he wanted. Still a barely 14 year old kid playing pachinko all day? Even the most neglectful person would start to care sooner or later so he eventually just went to a different parlour each day so they all thought he came once a week. 

Now with a sizable amount of pocket change, Tommy rented a room in an internet café and then lived out of there, going to a pachinko parlour during the day for ‘work’ to earn some money and then going back to the internet café at night to educate himself online. He had Sunday ‘off’ to go buy clothes and such. With his relatively stable living Tommy eventually just wanted a long comfortable love with people that won’t use him as a walking ATM to withdraw money from.[/indent]
[b][QUIRK][/b]
[indent][b]Pinball Wizard[/b] - Tommy has a power loosely connected to magnetism as his quirk. Able to attract and repel any metal object. Tommy can even imitate rudimentary flight, especially in a built up area like a city full of skyscrapers, however in practice it would appear closer to him either swinging from an invisible rope or as if he’s being dragged in a direction.

Currently Tommy’s control and strength of his quirk is a bit low. If Tommy is heavier than the item he’s manipulating, he’ll move it. If Tommy is lighter, he’ll either be pushed or pulled towards it depending on what he’s attempting to do to it. As an example; if Tommy “pushes” a coin into the ground, the coin will fly as fast as Tommy can manage until it hits the ground. Then the force he’s pushing the coin down with will send him upwards. If he tries to “pull” a car, he’ll likely fly towards it instead. If the vehicle was moving he would be better off slamming the brakes on the vehicle than lifting it. Perhaps later with training he’ll be able to manipulate things heavier than him and move things faster.

[b][SAMPLE POST][/b]
[indent]Tommy was sitting in a pachinko parlour using his quirk to occasionally influence a jackpot, he couldn’t be as blatant as he used to be as the next town over they almost called the cops on him. There was no proof, but being 14 years old and spending all day playing pachinko? Well, it was already stretching it and cops would just try dragging him to school or worse, home. So when he left the pachinko parlour with his bags to toys to exchange for money and was tapped on the shoulder by an official looking woman the fear in his eyes was likely visible.

“Can I help you miss?” putting on his best deer in the headlights look and laying on the sugar in his voice before he was dragged by the ear, bags of toys in hand, all the way to Tumble's agency
