Guess that's enough people to start helming questions then.

What nation do y'all wanna citizenship in?

@ERode

Velonta would be my first pick and then it'd probably be Alderamin.

Been a minute since I've done something on here but this sounds legit and I have fond memories of playing with ERode in the past. Color me interested.

Tommy Lomax

Location: Footsteps Sports Bar, Wednesday Late Morning-Noon

On this beautiful Wednesday afternoon Tommy found himself cooped up in his office above Footsteps working on getting through a multitude of paperwork that had built up in his absence. It was his fault really. First he had taken four days off for the race weekend which after winning turned into another week off from Footsteps to give himself time for the numerous interviews and press spots that he knew Joel would pass up on. Once the interviews and press started winding down and life started to settle back into a somewhat more normal rhythm Tommy had been struck by the urge to take his house out to sea, or ocean rather, and spend the better part of another week deep-sea fishing. So it was that this Wednesday was his first real day back at Footsteps since the Grand Prix and that meant that alongside reviewing payroll, and ensuring that everyone received proper overtime for the last couple weeks, he had numerous notices from different vendors and needed to place orders for the upcoming weeks, especially with Super Bowl Sunday right around the corner. The tedium of paperwork was his least favorite part of running the bar and so his mind kept drifting back to the week of fishing and even further back to the Grand Prix. Looking back down at one of the vendor order forms he smiled to himself. The order form was for seafood which it turned out was actually pretty low on the list of stock that Footsteps was in need of right now, having just filled the freezer himself with a mix of herring and cod that were native to the waters off the coast of Sol City.

Location: Footsteps Sports Bar, Wednesday Afternoon

A couple hours of work had put a sizable dent in the mountain of paper that sat in front of Tommy. Sighing to himself he stood up and stretched, deciding he was done with the paperwork for now he slid his suit jacket that had been resting on the back of his chair back on and proceeded out of the office and down the steps to the main room of the bar. The bar wasn't that busy, as was normal on Wednesday in the winter, and so it wasn't hard for Tommy to pick out a familiar face, Marlin's, from among the patrons. Seeing that she was currently occupied with some of the other customers Tommy waved and found himself a seat at the bar. Having skipped lunch he found himself particularly famished and thought that an early dinner may well be in his future.

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.

Now I'm nervous. I hope you like what I wrote for him. I tried to make him the more mature, level-headed member of the racing group.

@Pilatus

You did great, captured him well and I like the way the relationship between him and Joel functions. Also just finished reading everything (Chapter 1 and 2 thus far) need to go to bed so I can get some sleep before work but I'll have a post up sometime in the next 24 hours.

Just out of curiosity, how many people have been reading the old thread?

@Pilatus

I've been working on catching up, I scrubbed out early from chapter 1 and don't know if I'm wanting to come back for chapter 2 but I've still enjoyed the story you guys have been building.

Moving On

@Lady Amalthea Thanks for the advice, placing limits on myself, forcing myself to be on here even when it hurts is something I haven't really tried. I have mainly been coming back whenever I felt strong enough to handle it, which only seemed to work for a couple months at a time before I inadvertently found myself once again spiraling and distancing myself from the Guild.
