“This is my third and penultimate year,” Iron spoke with a definite air of confidence, “However, not everyone can graduate to the rank of Master in just four years so as far as pointers-- pace yourself, you know yourself best.” As he spoke Iron adjusted his heading towards the mess hall. “Oh and don’t miss breakfast, the university is named after the meal… and lastly if the violin playing bothers you I suggest picking up some decent headphones, Nialla’s made it a near daily habit since he started here last year,”

Having taken the lead as he spoke Iron reached the mess hall doors before Theo. “You can dine with me,” Iron turned and added in an off-hand manner as he stepped through the door into the mess hall. Not waiting to see if Theo would follow Iron found himself a table, and marked it as his by removing his jacket and folding it across one of the chairs. After claiming a table Iron set about assembling a plate full of various breakfast foods, before seating himself back at the table and waiting to see if the newcomer would join him. As he waited he toyed with an earbud ready to return to the world of mid-century jazz.

Bio/Personality:

It’s not a common event the birth of a star but that’s what the 17th of February 1989 marked. Thomas Lomax was the dream; quarterback of his high school football team, state champions all four years, a two time All-American, homecoming king--- he had it all. And life stayed that way for Thomas as he started university at Ohio State on an athletic scholarship. Tommy spent his first year at OSU mainly riding the bench, learning from the coaches and other players, his second year though saw him take the field as the first string quarterback where he proceeded to lead OSU to a conference championship. By this time the name Thomas Lomax was already making ripples in the professional community so it was to no real surprise that after Tommy followed the conference championship up with a national title that he was offered a spot in the NFL. In the 2011 NFL draft Thomas Lomax ended up a first round draft pick for the Sol City Icarus Angels. Dropping out of school Tommy relocated from the midwest to Sol City and began his training with the Angels. Tommy’s rookie year was a record breaking one in which he lead the Angels to the NFC championship, where they unfortunately lost. Going into his second year it was a similar story except in which the way it ended. The dawn of the 20th of January 2013 saw The Icarus Angels once again finding themselves competing in the NFC championship, once more playing for a spot at the Super Bowl. The game came down to the wire, it was a game that was decided by a matter seconds not a matter of points. However for Thomas Lomax it was a game with a life defining second. In the fourth quarter during the Angels’ last drive downfield Lomax took a nasty hit that shut down the dreams of the Sol City Icarus Angels and shattered the knee of their star quarterback. And so it was that the 20th of January 2013 marked the falling of a star.

With a shattered knee Thomas found himself back in small town Ohio, staying with his parents while waiting for the knee to heal. The small town was suffocating after the last two years in Sol City and it was only made worse by the constant pity he felt from those around him. Once he was back on his feet, more literally than figuratively, Tommy made the decision to permanently make the move back to Sol City. Thanks to the size of the city Tommy could almost start over. People recognized him from time to time, and some of them still pitied him but it wasn’t the constant it had been in Ohio. Despite the tragically short career Tommy had had with the Icarus Angels he had still made a small fortune, roughly eight million between his signing bonus and the payout for his two years. In all reality it meant that Thomas was set for life and could feasibly enjoy a very young retirement. And this is what Tommy spent the next year doing. However, as is oft the case, retirement didn’t suite Tommy well. A sedentary life was just not one that clicked with the former All-American.

Trying to find something to occupy his days as a retiree Tommy didn’t take long to settle on the idea of a sports bar. It made some level of sense, it was something to do that required near daily oversight and wasn’t liable to become too boring too quickly--- plus it also capitalized on his local fame. And so Footsteps Sports Bar was born. Since opening the bar in 2014 it has become somewhat of a go to spot for sports fans in the area.

Other than the running of a sports bar, which does take up quite a bit of time. Tommy supplements his semi-retired life style with as much exercise as he can manage however due to his knee injury this isn’t always possible, in fact sometimes, on bad days, Tommy has to use a cane to get around.

About Me

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age: 23
*What part of the world are you from? The great nothingness of Midwest, United States (central standard time).
*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: I joined the guild in 2012, the year of Guildfall however I’ve been playing tabletop roleplaying games since 2006-2007 so total about ten years of roleplay experience. To be honest I have been on a rather long break from the Guild until very recently (roughly 2 years or so).
*How often do you have time to post? Right now I’m pretty much free whenever, and can post once every day or two. However I am getting ready to move in the next few weeks which will probably slow down my ability to get posts up, I won’t disappear though as I do most of my roleplaying through my phone.
*Misc.
Outside of roleplaying my primary hobbies revolve around attending concerts, playing Magic the Gathering and keeping up with wrestling and the numerous podcasts I follow.

Okay so the character is finally done, the bio isn't really up to what I'd call par but today has been complete shit and I don't want to put this off any longer. I'll probably go in and flesh out the bio in the next couple days but really just wanted to get it posted.

That all said I also have a location on the way, Footsteps Sports Bar.

@RawrEspada4 Iron's appearance picture still isn't showing up properly for me

@Ebil Bunny

It was looks like I'm having an issue with the photobucket account I hosted it on, looking into fixing the issue now. Sorry just woke up.

EDIT: The issue seems to be resolved, sorry about that.

As Mede began his introduction of the Headmaster to the crowd of students Iron began putting his sketchbook away and by the time that the Headmaster had landed he had just finished wrapping his ear buds and stowing his phone in his pocket. With the distinct lack of jazz filtering out the world around him Iron became aware of the bittersweet violin melody playing throughout the school. Immediately he recognized the style if not the exact melody.

“Wonderful,” Iron thought to himself, “another year of Nialla’s depressing melodies echoing through the campus. Just another reason to never leave my earbuds in my room,” The habits of the music mage had become common place during their last year and while some of the student body loved his music, Iron detested it. Just about every time he heard those violin melodies it brought back memories of his childhood, before his grandfather had taken him on as an apprentice. A time that, for Iron, was doggedly marked by loneliness and detachment.

With the violin acting as the background music to the Headmaster’s speech Iron soon found himself filing on to the campus train where the speech continued. It was probably not the best venue for an opening speech as most of the first years spent more of the train ride trying to cope with the speed of the train than actually paying attention to what the Headmaster had to say. And as for the returning students the speech didn’t offer much in way of new information. It was the same typical speech that Iron had been privy to the last couple years, mainly highlighting the limit of the campus grounds and the requirements for field trips and so on and so forth. It was actually the exact issue of trying to give an opening speech on such a train that was the cause of a first year now asking Iron what the speech had been about.

“It wasn’t really all that important,” Iron began while turning to face the raven-haired first year. “The main bullet points: the forest is forbidden… unless you happen to be a Journeyman-level mage, don’t make pacts with the campus fae or spirits and breakfast is free daily, but only until 10 A.M.” Iron listed off the highlights to the annual speech while ticking them off on his fingers. “I would say you should pay better attention, first year, but the train was probably a bad venue choice for the entrance speech”

“I’m Iron Atwood by the way,” Iron added this last sentence as more of an afterthought along with an extended hand in way of introduction.
