Captain Uni — Roleplayer Guild

"There's seven point four billion people in the world, and you're the only you." - Tom to his son Ben.

Name: Thomas Hutchinson
Age: 29
Nicknames: Tommy Gun to friend, and Tom to others.
Former Clique: Nerds
Occupation: Detective at the LAPD. He wishes to quit soon and become a director and screenwriter.
Appearance: A comparison of him at high school age and today.
Bio: Tom grew up in Massachusetts in a very generic and normal fashion. Not that there were some oddities, but it was mostly tame and normal. Both of his parents were still married, he had a sister whom everyone loved, and a decent-sized house that looked like something straight out of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. At age 12, Tom's family moved to Los Angeles after his father was offered a promotion out west.
Being a nerd who had a 4.0 grade average and wore a dress shirt and tie to school, he was constantly bullied and insulted. His primary tormentor was [CHARACTER], whom Tom loathed. He didn't have many friends during high school, in fact he only knew most of the people due to doing their homework for them at one point or the other. However, and despite his social anxiety, Tom was good friends with Lucas Walsh and Darcie Harper. Without them, he probably wouldn't have had any good friends. 
When he graduated, he went to the UCLA film school to become a director. There, he met his future wife Anne Hardy, and slowly but surely built up a relationship with her. One night, they had sex and Anne became pregnant, and as such he dropped out of school and got a job as a cop to pay for the baby. The two got married and stayed together for four years until Anne died in a car crash, at which point Tom was left to raise their son Ben.
After a few years of working as a regular old cop, Tom became a detective and has served five years in the field. He recently got a call from Darcie to attend the reunion. So off he went, and the rest is still to be seen.
Personality: Having had horrible social anxiety, Tom was reserved, not really speaking up unless he's around people he's familiar with. If he didn't have social anxiety (or if he was with someone he was familiar with), he probably would've been one of the popluar kids. He's a fun guy to hang out with, telling entertaining jokes and making people smile and be happy, even telling them stories he makes up in his free time. 
However, he did have social anxiety; it was so crippling for a while that he couldn't talk to members of the opposite gender and could just barely talk with members of the same gender. Because of this, he had quite a few problems in terms of his social life. Over time, it lessened and lessened to the point where now it's practically non-existent. He also has ADD, but it's not severe.
Additional Information:Tom hasn't been in contact with all of his friends since they graduated.
Surprisingly, Tom still speaks in a Boston accent despite having not been there in years.
Throughout high school, he helped direct some of the plays at school with the drama teacher (this was actually where he met Darcie).
Even though it seems his son would be his plus one, Tom left him at home with a babysitter for the night. His plus one remains unused.
Tom had a crush on Darcie throughout high school, but never said anything.
