Appearance:

Name: Thomas "Tom" Richards
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Class: Human; Hark
Background and/or Personality: Tom grew up in a family of Harks. Both of his parents worked for the department, their parent's worked for a department. His older sister, Murphy, is a lead homicide investigator, so it was no question what job Tom would go into. He didn't even argue. He was quite pleased with the opportunity to serve his wonderful city.
Before becoming a Hark, Tom had proved himself as an adept swimmer. He had gone to win several awards in high school. Almost immediately after school he went into the Academy. He did quite well there, not the best by any means, but nothing to sneeze at. He was third in physical combat, and fourth in shooting (he always lists slight to the left no matter how much he thinks he's going right). All of that was enough to get him stationed at his father's office.
He lives a bit in his family's shadow, but enjoys being a beat Hark way more than being an investigator. It was on one of his daily beats that he caught a rouge android. The renown he got from that was enough to get him on an investigation team. One specifically designed to catch rogue androids. Tom, though, had seen that android's eyes when they took it away. He wanted nothing more than to turn down the promotion, but knew if he did questions would be asked. So he shoved his doubts away and continued on with the job as he was trained to do.
