|| PERSONALITY ||
Thomas is a bit of an unusual kid, or he at least feels like he is. He's naturally curious of other people and he's not lacking confidence exactly so you would think he would be more sociable, but nope. He has very few friends, mostly due to rarely ever talking and being stuck in his own head. He enjoys learning, but typically dislikes school, finding it extremely dull and depressing, especially when it comes to the subject of history. If one were to befriend Thomas they would find him a loyal, smart and humorous friend, although probably a little boring when it comes to hobbies. He's relatively introverted, much preferring a quiet hangout to a party or anything like it. Unfamiliar places make him feel on edge.

● Will often just read a book in class if bored, which is often

|| HOUSE DESCRIPTION ||
In England Thomas' residence would be known as working class. In the U.S he doesn't know what to call it, but it's pretty much the same deal. The poor but not quite the projects neighborhood basically. Small house, two bedrooms, small kitchen and a living room. The house itself tends to be very dimly lit, often times the curtains going unopened for a day or two. If the house were lit up you would see that it's just decorated enough to be considered a home. There are some photos on the walls, a painting of a couple of angels, one of European Jesus, a calendar and that's about it. In Thomas' room there's an old laptop, a small plasma TV, an Xbox One and a bookcase. Then of course there's the twin bed and a small chest of drawers.

|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||
No car.

|| BIOGRAPHY ||
Thomas had a bit of a fucked up childhood and it would take forever to describe every event that damaged him, his mother or his life in general. Basically though dad was a criminal. Not in the mafia, or a biker gang, or anything dramatic like that, just a petty criminal. Insurance fraud, drug dealing, burglary and the rare shop/store robbery. All of those things Thomas could have lived with if he wasn't also an alcoholic who spent almost all of his money at the pub and then would come home, shout the place into Oblivion and smash the place up in full view of his children. Suffice to say, he was a bit of a prick. So Thomas' childhood was one full of crime and craziness.

What's worse is he passed his life onto his children. Thomas was always a sweet boy, and his brother did what he could to keep him out of trouble, even if that mostly involved telling him to fuck off whilst he and his friends went to burgle a house, commit a street robbery or do whatever else. Either way, it mostly worked, Thomas only ever committed relatively minor crimes, at least compared to his father and brother. Graffiti, vandalism, shoplifting, the occasional street fight, but all of those bar the fighting were before he was twelve years of age, with a couple of notable exceptions.

His parents split finally when he was eight but unfortunately the damage was done. His mum had severe depression and anxiety which she coped with by smoking copious amounts of weed. There are far worse drugs for a parent to be dependent on but cannabis is still expensive, especially for the poor. The habit put strain on an already strained income and is still an issue in the U.S. 

Thomas doesn't feel like he's lived much of a life so far. All he has in his mind when he thinks of himself are fucked up memories and him slowly drifting through things such as school, which he goes from disliking to hating on a regular basis. Thankfully his life has been shook the hell up in recent years when his brother fell in love with a girl in the U.S, and with his brother being the only one with a job, his father estranged and in prison and both Thomas and his mother not having anything special in England to keep them there it really was no big thing to move. Aside from all the immigration of course. That sucked, and was very expensive.

Now, Thomas basically just wants to feel a little more alive. Perhaps make some good memories to help drown the old.

Find No Enemy - Akala
See lately I feel confused with the boxes
Cause to me all they do is breed conflict
It's not that I've lost touch with the reality
Racism, sexism and nationality
Just to me it all seems like insanity
Why must I rob you of your humanity
To feel good about mine?

Thomas was born and raised in England and has only recently moved to the U.S.
He has never been in a relationship.
He has a distinct British accent.

☀ ❤ "Indie's a really nice girl, I hope she's all right." ❤☀

Thomas and Indie met in the library a couple of months ago, getting into a conversation about a certain author and carrying it on from there. In the time since they have become pretty close, she knows as much about him as almost anyone else in town, except Kas. Thomas considers her a good friend and is secretly attracted to her. Her current relationship along with other issues have prevented him from voicing his feelings thus far though and he's currently unsure if she still even considers him a friend. They haven't spoken in a little while.

|| SONNY KASSEM ||

✸"Keeping him out of trouble is impossible, but he's a good person underneath it all."✸
Thomas loves Kas like a brother and is constantly trying to protect him from himself. He basically wants himself to be to Kas what Arthur was to him but it's a hell of a challenge. For one he was never such a little shit. Something terrible happening to Kas, or the more likely Kas doing something terrible to someone else are two of his greatest fears,

"Abbie?" A rare smile crossed Thomas' lips. "She's a fun girl."
Thanks to Abbie's outgoing personality she was Thomas's first friend in Arrowsmith. He's not sure if he and Abbie could act any differently from each other, but he finds her attitude incredibly charming, if not damn inspiring. He sometimes feels on edge around her due to her unpredictability, but even that he finds fun most of the time. So far she's been very successful in making Thomas forget his cautious nature.

Thomas has run into her a few times over the last couple of months, mostly in the mall. They've chatted and seemed to connect well enough that even Thomas' asocial ass was able to enjoy their conversations. He looks forward to seeing her again, and she is one of the only reasons he's looking forward to school starting.

|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||
Sonny is 5’10 and weighs 168lb. Tall and lean, he is muscular and athletic but not in a way you could likely tell when he’s fully clothed. Due to his part Iranian blood he is slightly darker skinned than his cousin, basically a slight tan color. He has black hair which he keeps short, typically with a buzz cut and his eyes are a dark brown. He has a lot of scars, the visible ones being on his knuckles, face and neck. The ones on his knuckles are short and somewhat faded. He has one on his face that runs down across his left eyebrow and one on his neck that runs horizontally from the front right side of his neck to about 4” across. He dresses the same as his cousin, wearing hoodies and jeans mostly, with sneakers in various colors.

"No. Fucking. Comment. Pig."

|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||
Aggressive. Violent. Rude. Antisocial. Amoral. Careless. Criminal. Fearless. Hedonistic. Impulsive. Insecure. Humorous.

|| PERSONALITY ||
Kas is an incredibly angry young man, with only a couple of people being able to get through his walls of defense and aggression. He’s had experience after experience that has taught him that life is in no way fair and he’s taken it very hard. To most people he’ll just come across as an asshole, saying and doing whatever he wants with little to no thought for anything else. Others might consider him a bully, but he doesn’t consider himself one. Yeah he’ll flip out and probably get violent at the slightest provocation but he doesn’t go looking for people to be cruel to. If one were to somehow befriend him they’d have to have quite the thick skin, for his attitude won’t change much even among his friends. He’s an incredibly bad influence and will almost certainly end up getting himself expelled.

|| HOUSE DESCRIPTION ||
Better than the council estate, that’s for sure. Got a couple of bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. It’s no mansion, but it’s no crack house either. He lives with Maria and Thomas.

|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||
Doesn’t have one but knows how to drive, might steal one at some point, but just for joy riding.

"Where’s my lawyer?"

|| BIOGRAPHY ||
Sonny is the child of Maria’s sister. His father was in and out of his life until he was seven or eight but eventually was killed by a hot shot of heroin, an addiction he had been dealing with since he fled Iran. His mother raised him pretty well for a while but had various mental health issues and was drinking almost constantly by the time Sonny was ten. She died herself a couple of years later when she was out drunk as all hell one night and got into an altercation with a cop. She ended up getting tasered and well apparently even non-lethal weapons can kill. Kind of goes against the fucking point, huh? 

At that time Maria took custody of him. She had her own mental health and addiction issues but she wasn’t near the level of toxicity as Sonny’s parents had been. Unfortunately he was already too far gone. He was in a gang by the time he was eleven and spent the next several years selling drugs, holding weapons for older gangsters, getting into violent fights on the regular and even stabbing a couple of kids for stupid reasons.

At the age of fifteen he’s already been shot at, stabbed, been in half a dozen knife fights and sold thousands of pounds worth of drugs. The only reason he decided to willfully go to the U.S with his adoptive family is because he believed there’d be a far more profitable drugs trade there. This is a kid who is very, very far gone. As for what he wants in school? Nothing. It’ll be a miracle if he isn’t in prison or dead before the others graduate.

|| THEME SONG ||
Confessions - Bugzy Malone
And I've been sitting in the past listening to brotha lynch
Can't wait to pull the thing out just to see a brudda flinch
Truss me, blow out his belly just so I can see the pink
And drag him to the bathroom to watch him throw up in the sink
Put a pillow over his head, why the fuck d'you think
This is a murder scene, I don't need the feds to get a link
And I can feel the shivers running through my body when I blink
Shut that bitch up
Fuck I knew I shoulda seen a shrink

Sonny is not a psychopath, but may act like one.

|| THOMAS JONES ||

✸"That geeky ass bitch. Don't fuck with him."✸
Thomas and Kas are very, very different people, but they've been through a lot together and have lived in the same houses going on three years now. They're like brothers, they don't always agree with each other and sometimes their relationship can be damn awkward due to disagreements, but they've both got love for the other. Kas himself secretly looks up to Thomas, there weren't many kids like him on their estate. He admires his apparent uniqueness.

⚜ "Abbie?" Kas chuckles. "I like that chick. Got some fantastic tits if I'm any judge." ⚜

Kas likes Abbie from what he's seen of her. That means two different things. Firstly, he literally likes what he's seen. He would pursue trying to get her to bone him in a second if he wasn't unsure of his cousins feelings about her. He'll probably have made a mental note to ask. Secondly, he seems to actually like her personality too. She hasn't rolled her eyes at him yet. That's a plus in his book.

"She's pretty damn cute. Some sad shit about her marge, but it's cool she's better. Better fucking stay that way."

Kas likes Amelia. He finds her physically attractive, which usually would be enough for him to pursue her sexually. Something about his relationship with Amelia makes him pause though, he doesn't know what and it's highly unusual and uncomfortable for him. Maybe it's empathy.

Expansions on pretty much every part of Thomas, especially personality and biography. Also changed theme song to something I believe is more fitting to his long term goal. Kas is slightly edited in the personality section too in order to make it easier for me to play him without appearing to go OOC or step on anyone's toes.

Thomas is 5'6 tall and weighs 162lb, being both somewhat muscular and chubby. He has dark brown hair that is typically cut short and light blue eyes. Thomas is almost constantly straight faced, if one actually wanted to know what he was feeling they would have to look at his eyes. By default they seem to be cold, but with a glint of what could be thought or intellect. When angry his eyes really express it, becoming shiny and locked onto whatever he's pissed at, refusing to look away until he's decided on his next action. It's as frightening as he'll get without doing anything. Sometimes they go softer and appear to be slightly lighter in color. This is usually when he's talking to someone he cares about or is empathizing with. He is rarely caught smiling, with a frown seeming to be permanently etched onto his face. He has a couple of scars, although only one is typically visible. It being an ugly straight gash scar across his left palm. He dresses cheaply, mostly wearing plain and inexpensive shirts and jeans. He can often be seen wearing a hoodie, once again plain and usually either gray or black in color. For footwear he alternates between a pair of black hiking boots and white sneakers.

|| PERSONALITY ||
Thomas is a bit of an unusual kid, or at least he feels like he is. He's naturally curious of other people and he's not lacking confidence exactly so you would think he would be more sociable, but nope. He has very few friends, mostly due to rarely talking unless spoken to first and being stuck in his own head a lot. He enjoys learning, but typically dislikes school, finding it extremely dull and depressing, especially when it comes to the subject of history. If one were to befriend Thomas they would find him a loyal, smart and humorous friend, although probably a little boring when it comes to hobbies. He's relatively introverted, much preferring a quiet hangout to a party or anything like it. Unfamiliar places make him feel on edge.

One of his defining personality traits is just how conflicted he is. He is intelligent, creative and loves to learn but he is also completely uninspired when it comes to school. He just doesn't see himself going to college or ending up in any sort of respectable position. This has lead to a situation where he doesn't quite fit in anywhere. The roadman he grew up with found him outwardly displaying all the normal traits, but occasionally he'd do or say something that made him stick out like a massive geek in a group full of hoods. On the other hand the geeks he's happened to spend time with over the years typically thought he was way too much of a street kid, and thus he was ostracized among them as well. This has lead to him believing he doesn't really fit into any one place, which he kind of likes, but it also feeds into his lack of vision for the future and his belief that he'll never really fit in anywhere.

Another major conflict in his life is his mentality when it comes to violence and crime. He's generally too smart, and often times too empathetic to act upon his feelings and thoughts, but at the same time his background has given him a frightening capacity for the use of violence. If one were to hear their friend say "Fuck it, let's bore (stab) him up and dust (leave).", they would likely think their friend was being ridiculous. Thomas wouldn't. As for his capacity for violence, that's still a massive issue too considering where he finds himself. In his old home someone insulting or threatening him would have warranted him switching and fucking them up, but logically he can't do that in small town America, he'd be locked up or expelled within a month. He knows this, but still there's that conflict in how his mind thinks he should react to threats or insults and how he logically knows he should in the place he's in. Basically, you can take the kid out of the Blue Borough but you can't take the Blue Borough out of the kid. At least not quickly. Obviously going from a place where violence frequently happens because of someone looking at someone else the wrong way to a place like Arrowsmith is quite the adjustment.

|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||
No car.

|| BIOGRAPHY ||
Thomas had a bit of a fucked up childhood and it would take forever to describe every event that damaged him, his mother or his life in general. Basically though his father was a criminal. Not in the mafia, or a biker gang, or anything dramatic like that, just a petty criminal. Insurance fraud, drug dealing, burglary and the rare shop/store robbery. Honestly all of those things Thomas could have lived with if he wasn't also an alcoholic who spent almost all of his money at the pub and then would come home, shout the place into Oblivion and smash the place up in full view of his terrified children and wife. Suffice to say, he was a bit of a prick. So Thomas' childhood was one full of crime and craziness. He has more than one memory of his house getting raided by the police, one where his mum chased a man a foot and a half taller than her out into the street with a red hot knife, and at least a couple of his dad switching in pubs and beating the crap out of someone.

His parents split up finally when he was eight but unfortunately the damage was done. His mum had severe depression and anxiety (possibly as a result of how her husband treated her, Thomas believes so, but doesn't know for sure) which she coped with by smoking copious amounts of weed. There are far worse drugs for a parent to be dependent upon but cannabis is still expensive, especially for the poor. The habit put a strain on an already strained income and is still an issue in the present.

What's possibly worse is his father passed his life, and (Thomas fears) some of his personality onto his children. Thomas was always a sweet boy, and his brother did what he could to keep him out of trouble, even if that mostly involved telling him to fuck off whilst he and his friends went to burgle a house, commit a street robbery or do whatever else. Either way, it mostly worked, Thomas only ever committed relatively minor crimes, at least compared to his father and brother. Graffiti, vandalism, shoplifting, the occasional street fight, but all of those bar the fighting were before he was twelve years of age, with a couple of notable exceptions. On several occasions he was dragged into more serious conflicts by friends, or his cousin. This lead to him being involved in more violence than such a lad would have otherwise and unfortunately there's no turning off word/rumor in the streets. Once people heard he was a fighter they repeatedly tested him, partly to make a name for themselves and partly just to see if it was true, especially when they experienced his unusual quiet, calm demeanor in person. 

Despite everything Thomas doesn't feel like he's lived much of a life so far. All he has in his mind when he thinks of himself are fucked up memories and him slowly drifting through things such as school, which he goes from disliking to hating on a regular basis. Thankfully his life has been shaken the hell up in recent years when his brother fell in love with a girl in the U.S, and with his brother being the only one with a job, his father estranged and in prison and both Thomas and his mother not having anything special in England to keep them there it really was no big thing to move. Aside from all the immigration of course. That sucked, and was very expensive.

Now, Thomas basically just wants to feel a little more alive. Perhaps make some good memories to help drown the old.

☀ ❤ "Indie's a really nice girl, I hope she's all right." ❤☀

Thomas and Indie met in the library a couple of months ago, getting into a conversation about a certain author and carrying it on from there. In the time since they have become pretty close, she knows as much about him as almost anyone else in town, except Kas. Thomas considers her a good friend and is secretly attracted to her. Her current relationship along with other issues have prevented him from voicing his feelings thus far though and he's currently unsure if she still even considers him a friend. They haven't spoken in a little while.

|| SONNY KASSEM ||

✸"Keeping him out of trouble is impossible, but he's a good person underneath it all."✸
Thomas loves Kas like a brother and is constantly trying to protect him from himself. He basically wants himself to be to Kas what Arthur was to him but it's a hell of a challenge. For one he was never such a little shit. Something terrible happening to Kas, or the more likely Kas doing something terrible to someone else are two of his greatest fears,

"Abbie?" A rare smile crossed Thomas' lips. "She's a fun girl."
Thanks to Abbie's outgoing personality she was Thomas's first friend in Arrowsmith. He's not sure if he and Abbie could act any differently from each other, but he finds her attitude incredibly charming, if not damn inspiring. He sometimes feels on edge around her due to her unpredictability, but even that he finds fun most of the time. So far she's been very successful in making Thomas forget his cautious nature.

"I've talked to her a few times, she seems like a good person. I want to know more about her."
Thomas has run into her a few times over the last couple of months, mostly in the mall. They've chatted and seemed to connect well enough that even Thomas' asocial ass was able to enjoy their conversations. He looks forward to seeing her again, and she is one of the only reasons he's looking forward to school starting.

Single

|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||
Sonny is 5’10 and weighs 168lb. Tall and lean, he is muscular and athletic but not in a way you could likely tell when he’s fully clothed. Due to his part Iranian blood he is slightly darker skinned than his cousin, basically a slight tan color. He has black hair which he keeps short, typically with a buzz cut and his eyes are a dark brown. He has a lot of scars, the visible ones being on his knuckles, face and neck. The ones on his knuckles are short and somewhat faded. He has one on his face that runs down across his left eyebrow and one on his neck that runs horizontally from the front right side of his neck to about 4” across. He dresses the same as his cousin, wearing hoodies and jeans mostly, with sneakers in various colors.

"No. Fucking. Comment. Pig."

|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||
Aggressive. Violent. Rude. Antisocial. Amoral. Careless. Criminal. Fearless. Hedonistic. Impulsive. Insecure. Humorous. Fun-loving. Loyal. Principled.

|| PERSONALITY ||
Kas is an incredibly angry young man, with only a couple of people being able to get through his many defense mechanisms. He’s had experience after experience that has nailed into him the fact that life is in no way fair and he’s taken it very much to heart. To most people he’ll just come across as an asshole, saying and doing whatever he wants with little to no thought for anything else. Others might consider him a bully, but he doesn’t consider himself one. Yeah, he might flip out and possibly get violent at the slightest provocation but he doesn’t go looking for people to be cruel to. If one were to somehow befriend him they’d have to have quite the thick skin, for his attitude won’t change much even among his friends. He’s an incredibly bad influence and will almost certainly end up getting himself expelled.

Despite all of his bad traits he isn't completely rotten. For one he is outgoing as hell, and although what he says may be considered (and probably will be) rude, if one has thick enough skin to brush it off they just might find a friend in Kas. He's actually quite friendly to those he doesn't feel threatened by. He is very loyal to those he likes and will consistently and almost constantly have their back, on principle alone at times. He is also quick witted and rather funny, once again to the right people.

|| QUIRKS ||
● Almost always carries a knife
● Constantly looks angry
● His eyes tend to dart back and fourth in a room
● Cracks his fingers a lot
● Most of his principles are based on beliefs from where he grew up and are often contradictory in nature. Some examples being he can sell drugs and smoke weed, but taking anything stronger like crack, heroin or coke makes one weak and unreliable. He's often rude, sexist and kind of a prick towards women, but physically hurting or abusing one would make him a coward even in the eyes of his previous and largely misogynistic peers.

|| HOBBIES ||
● Smoking weed
● Selling weed (and other things, but for now just weed)
● Practicing Muay Thai
● Listening to music
● Finding ways to make money

|| LIKES & DISLIKES ||
+ Fighting
+ Training to fight
+ Making money
+ Having sex
+ Buying clothes, sneakers, jewelry, knives and other such things
 
- School
- Authority figures
- Police
- Males, a lot of the time
- Teachers

"Fuck you. No comment."

|| FAMILY MEMBERS ||
Maria Jones - Aunt
Arthur Jones - Cousin
Thomas Jones - Cousin

|| HOUSE DESCRIPTION ||
Better than the council estate, that’s for sure. Got a couple of bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. It’s no mansion, but it’s no crack house either. He lives with Maria and Thomas.

|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||
Doesn’t have one but knows how to drive, might steal one at some point, but just for joy riding.

"Where’s my lawyer?"

|| BIOGRAPHY ||
Sonny is the child of Maria’s sister. His father was in and out of his life until he was seven or eight but eventually was killed by a hot shot of heroin, an addiction he had been dealing with since he fled Iran. His mother raised him pretty well for a while but had various mental health issues and was drinking almost constantly by the time Sonny was ten. She died herself a couple of years later when she was out drunk as all hell one night and got into an altercation with a cop. She ended up getting tasered and well apparently even non-lethal weapons can kill. Kind of goes against the fucking point, huh? 

At that time Maria took custody of him. She had her own mental health and addiction issues but she wasn’t near the level of toxicity as Sonny’s parents had been. Unfortunately he was already too far gone. He was in a gang by the time he was eleven and spent the next several years selling drugs, holding weapons for older gangsters, getting into violent fights on the regular and even stabbing a couple of kids for stupid reasons.

At the age of fifteen he’s already been shot at, stabbed, been in half a dozen knife fights and sold thousands of pounds worth of drugs. The only reason he decided to willfully go to the U.S with his adoptive family is because he believed there’d be a far more profitable drugs trade there. This is a kid who is very, very far gone. As for what he wants in school? Nothing. It’ll be a miracle if he isn’t in prison or dead before the others graduate.

|| THEME SONG ||
Confessions - Bugzy Malone
And I've been sitting in the past listening to brotha lynch
Can't wait to pull the thing out just to see a brudda flinch
Truss me, blow out his belly just so I can see the pink
And drag him to the bathroom to watch him throw up in the sink
Put a pillow over his head, why the fuck d'you think
This is a murder scene, I don't need the feds to get a link
And I can feel the shivers running through my body when I blink
Shut that bitch up
Fuck I knew I shoulda seen a shrink

|| OTHER ||
Sonny is not a psychopath, but may on occasion act like one.
Is semi-literate due to being kicked out of school in England at age 11.

✸"That geeky ass bitch. Don't fuck with him, for your own sake."✸
Thomas and Kas are very, very different people, but they've been through a lot together and have lived in the same houses going on three years now. They're like brothers, they don't always agree with each other and sometimes their relationship can be damn awkward due to disagreements, but they've both got love for the other. Kas himself secretly looks up to Thomas, there weren't many kids like him on their estate. He admires his apparent uniqueness. He's also one of two people on the entire planet Kas can fully relax around and just let himself be a kid. Thomas can say things to him that he'd bottle over kids over.

⚜ "Abbie?" Kas chuckles. "I like that chick. Got some fantastic tits if I'm any judge." ⚜

Kas likes Abbie from what he's seen of her. That means two different things. Firstly, he literally likes what he's seen. He would pursue trying to get her to bone him in a second if he wasn't unsure of his cousins feelings about her. He'll probably have made a mental note to ask. Secondly, he seems to actually like her personality too. She hasn't rolled her eyes at him yet. That's a plus in his book.

|| AMELIA RASHFREE ||

"She's pretty damn cute. Some sad shit about her marge, but it's cool she's better. Better fucking stay that way."

Kas likes Amelia. He finds her physically attractive, which usually would be enough for him to pursue her sexually. Something about his relationship with Amelia makes him pause though, he doesn't know what and it's highly unusual and uncomfortable for him. Maybe it's empathy.

Both versions, just in case.
