history
Roman and Haley were high school lovers for years- well, at least, Haley was in high school, Roman was just the pizza delivery boy. Well, I’ll tell you something- Roman delivered something, but there is no promises that it was just pizza. Haley was sixteen when she gave birth to Thomas, and Roman and her weren’t even officially dating. Hell, the fiery redhead hadn’t even shared the peachy news until the was nearly seven months pregnant. Needless to say, her body responded well to the pregnancy. Either way, the scene was Clinton, Michigan, on the seventeenth of July. The tension clinging to the air was thick enough to cut with a knife, but at least it was all quick and painless. Considering. After the delivery, a month or two, at least, Roman and Haley settled on a plan for themselves- which, thankfully, involved each other. They were to be wed. And they were. And all was merry. Right? Well, in a nutshell, yes, but we can start from the beginning.
First off, Thomas was supposed to be a girl, so his bedroom for the first three years of his life was coloured pink and had duckies with little pink bows all over the place. Yes, now we all know why our dearest Tom is so damaged. If you’d consider him damaged? Either way, Tommy actually did have a rather pleasant childhood. He has no sob story about his mother dying, his father going to jail, his parents splitting up, boarding school, etcetera- Tommy was always somewhat of a family-oriented male, though he wouldn’t admit it, and he still enjoys time home. Sometimes. We’ll get into that later, yes? Anyways, Tommy’s father, Roman, was always the one trying to get him into football, basketball, baseball, basically any sport that he could get the equipment for, but Tom was always a musical man. Er- boy. Musical boy. When he was nine, he began taking piano lessons. Though they did not last long, his skittlez are not too shabby, if he may say so himself. Either way, it wasn’t until about ten or eleven that Tom picked up a guitar, and that’s when it all changed. For the better, of course.
When Thomas Garrison was eleven years old he began to make real friends, and he began to realize what real friendship meant in life. Tommy never grew up watching television, so he would never understand the relevance of his name to the brave little baby in Rugrats, and he would never understand how people find their long lost sisters or brothers- courtesy Maury- but that never phased him. Besides, he had his guitar at twelve and that was all that matters. Of course, at thirteen, that’s when things got tough. Haley was twenty-nine at the time, though she didn’t look a day over twenty-one, so life was not in Tom’s favour once he started to realize that girls didn’t have cooties. No, he was not attracted to his mother, but if he started to realize this at thirteen, that meant his friends did too. Yeah, well, let’s just say that the boy’s went through a few plates of bagel bites and milk. At fifteen, it was seriously ridiculous. Of course, Tommy didn’t have to deal with that much longer.
Three years before now, when he was fifteen years old, Haley Garrison was fired from her comfort job as a little pastry chef because she came in with a hangover one afternoon. Now, I know what you’re thinking, because Tommy thought the same thing when he was informed that they would be moving to London, but Haley is not an alcoholic. Though Tom’s sneaking suspicions popped up once more when he was sixteen and his mother took an available career as a bartender at a local bar. Tom would swear on his life, for two years of it, that his mother was a stripper. Either that or hooker. Of course, his mouth remained shut, and he attended Hoffman from the time he moved, at fifteen, until now, eighteen. Despite the somewhat uptight tension the school’s oxygen upholds, and the reputation it’s been given, Thomas has learned better, and he actually quite likes the place. Shock, surprise, right?

personality
Tommy Garrison is not exactly the nicest person out there, but he definitely can be if he pleases. Some assume he is manipulative because of this fact, but, in truth, he’s just good. On a more positive note, Tom really can be a sweetheart. With a few pushes, Thomas can train into the most polite gentleman Hoffman has ever seen. Needless to say, though, it would take a lot of work. Thomas is clean, yes, he can be very charming, yes, but that is not even half of what makes up Tommy. Besides, that very charm will be the death of him one day. When he tries to sweet talk his way into someone’s significant other’s pants, well, that would be something Tom would do, and that would not end well. But don’t label the brunette as a cheater yet, because that’s not even a quarter of who he is. Thomas’ personality has more layers than a bloody onion, by the way, so don’t judge him by his cover. Like a book, one cannot judge Tom just by what he portrays, because he’s really just a cowardly little boy wearing a silly little mask.
Some assume that just because Tommy has never been in a serious relationship, it means he is a womanizer and a cheater and blah blah blah, but Tom doesn’t let it bother him. In public, Tom doesn’t let anything bother him. Sure, he’ll head back and have a nice conversation with Captain Oats(his stuffed giraffe), but never in public will he let people get to him. Okay, so he doesn’t actually talk to his stuffed animal, but that’s a whole ‘nother issue. Anyways, never would you see Tom down in the dumps because of what people think of him. Sure, he may truly be bothered by certain people’s opinion of him, but no one from school, really. Thomas has a certain image to uphold, and he understands that, so it’s home and straight to a warm bath if he’s had a bad day. Don’t judge until you’ve tried it! Thomas would recommend the Fresh Pineapple bubble bath. Ahem. Anyways, Thomas is, I guess, considered the tough guy in his group of friends. Only to one, maybe two, of his friends does he really talk to. Call it trust issues, call him a poser if you want, Tommy honestly doesn’t care.
If there is one word that you cannot, in any situation, associate Tom with, it would be shy. Thomas is never shy. Usually, he’s the loud, crazy, obnoxious talkative one that gets you associated to Tom in the first place. That, or he thinks you’re fit. Whatever his reasoning may be, it would cramp Tommy’s style to be shy and quite. His voice is so melodious, hence his major in ‘voice’, so why not abuse that very power? Usually, when Tom starts, it’s hard to get him to stop. Especially if he’s had some alcohol in his system. Putting the fact that he’s got a very hard stomach aside, Thomas is somewhat of a party animal, which is not very good for him. I mean, it’s not like he goes out and gets pissed every night, or even every weekend, but sometimes once he starts, you can’t stop him until he doesn’t know his left from his right- or unless he’s unconscious. The latter would probably be the best bet, considering Tom is not the brightest crayon in the box and has trouble telling his left from his right when completely sober.
To say that Tom is not the brightest crayon in the box is definitely accurate, but at the same time not one hundred percent. Common sense? Well, that’s not exactly Tommy’s strongest field, but history, science, English, etcetera; those he can do. History, especially. Contrary to popular belief, Tommy is a pretty intelligent kid. For skipping class the amount he does, he holds himself well above water. Granted, he would be kicked out if he did not, and if he wasn’t an excellent liar, but that’s neither here nor there. Either way, Thomas is flawed, yes, but he’s also got his high points. If you’re his friend, for example, the boy would take a bullet for you! Loyal as they come, Tommy is. As far as Tom is concerned, people like himself in that stance are hard to find these days. And that’s definitely not his ego speaking.
Whether Tom would admit that he is flawed or not is still up in the air, but the fact is that he is. The boy has problems making up his mind when it comes to other people. One minute he may be all for something, but the next he’s practicing his good liar routine. Some would say that tom is just allergic to commitment, and that very well may be, but Tommy’s yet to find the remedy, or repellant, for that allergy. Along with that, Thomas’ nastiest, probably, habit is judging people right when he meets them. It’s horrible, and he knows it, but he can’t help it. If someone is dressed messy, according to his standards alone, even, chances are your relationship with him won’t last long. But don’t worry, it’s not only the clothes he judges on. If you’re nice to him, or if you speak to him first in the first place, then you’re on the right track onto his nice list. Not that he actually keeps a naughty and nice list. Either way, all you have to do is give it a shot, it’ll only help you- even if he totally blows you off!
likes vintage scene, eighties/seventies rock/music scene, parties, affection, music, compliments, clothing, dancing, friends, the smell of water on cement, cuddling, Polaroids, black and white films, stuffed animals, the smell of peaches, power rangers(though he does much prefer ninjas), giraffes, fat jokes, things with cool designs on them, mosh pits, electronica, dancing to no music, female singers, acoustic guitars.
dislikes mean people(contrary to popular belief), the word ‘no’, wearing shirts(though he does it because it’s a common courtesy- as much as he likes `sticking it to the man`, there is only so much he can do), the `no shirt, no shoes, no service` rule, rules in general, actually any other authority that is not himself, burnt toast, universal remote controls, clowns, dark chocolate, girls who wear too much makeup, excuses, germs, dumb jokes, untidiness, his conscience.
ambitions Tommy is not necessarily the type of person to have ambitions, considering he’s the type of person that thinks he already has everything. And not in a selfish way, for once. Thomas feels lucky to be where he is in his sprouting career, so he doesn’t like to set his standards much higher than he’s got for fears of being disappointed. But, if he were asked in a life-or-death situation, Tom would say that he wants his career to take him somewhere- preferably around the world. Thomas is a good student, usually, and he’s a smart kid, so why doesn’t he deserve success? Putting his ego aside, he does, and he knows it. So he wants it. Thomas wants his voice to carry him from Australia to the states, perhaps even to Alaska! Tom loves traveling, and he loves singing, it’s ideal, isn’t it?
fears Tommy is fearless- at least, to the general public. Tom is not a very public person when it comes to his private life- he has that thing where he likes to keep his private life just that, private. Either way, to the naked eye of his public, Thomas is fearless. In reality, that’s not the case at all. I mean, hell, he sleeps with a giraffe stuffed animal every night because he is scared of the movie Halloween after two years. No one knows that one- no one. Another thing, Thomas has an ungodly fear of clowns. He might just break down at the sight of one that he finds remotely frightening. He would blame his childhood experiences, considering he and his family would go to the carnival every weekend, but whatever his reasoning may be, he isn’t one to write an article in the school newspaper about it. Digging more deeply into Tom’s not-so-fragile little heart, he is honestly afraid that he will never find that one person. Contrary to popular belief of those who don’t know him, Tommy has a heart and it’s there to beat for someone else’s, just like the next person. But Tom honestly believes that everyone has someone, they’re perfect soul mate- except for him. Though he’s only eighteen, a large fear of his is that he will not find ‘the one’.
{ my darling you look lovely
portrayed by? craig owens. i am comfortable enough with my sexuality to drool over his bod. rofll.
eyes Starting off, I’m going to say that if Tom’s childish, little smile doesn’t suck you right in, then his eyes will. Somewhere between a bright steel blue and a darker sky blue, almost a bit foggy, Tommy’s eyes are some for the books. Hovering between blue and green at times, his eyes make it difficult to hold a conversation with him in the sunshine. Of course, this could just be him blowing his features way out of proportion, but also…not.
hair You know people with the hair that you just want to reach out and touch? Like…all the time? Well, that’s Tommy for you. Though it takes a lot sometimes to get his sometimes impossible, dirty blonde hair into the loose tuff that it’s usually styled in, Tom is happy in the end. Pain is beauty, after all, and pain is something Tommy’s hair straightener enjoys giving him at least once every mourning. Regardless, Tom’s hair is long, considering his gender, and it almost reaches his shoulders, a bit past his collar in the back. Constantly falling in his eyes, Tommy is frowned upon by many of the more uptight teachers stalking around Hoffman, but he doesn’t mind. Haters make one famous, right?
height Thomas is not necessarily the tallest male, but at the same time he sort of his. Well, for his age. He is thin and tall, which would make one think he looked like an awkward twig that would get made fun of by the other normal twigs, but that’s not the case. Tommy weighs about one hundred and thirty pounds, give or take, and reaches about six feet, which balances out quite well for his posture and the clothing he slaps on every mourning.
style Tommy is a neat boy, and he will never leave his place without upholding such a state. Thomas likes to be comfortable, as well, and somehow he always manages both. Though some may not think skin tight jeans and a v-neck is comfortable, Tommy finds each item of clothing, when put together properly, both neat and comfortable. So, usually found in clothing like that, Tom is a happy camper. Thomas is never one to dress up, which is odd considering his mother’s constant need for cocktail parties and his father insistent attitude upon attending them, but sometimes a suit and tie is the way he has to go. On a normal day though, he would be found in a pair of usually somewhat dark, somewhat tight, jeans and a slightly fitted tee shirt, occasionally a colorful hoodie to go along. Usually his shoes aren’t in the best condition, but some weeks you may find him in a new pair every day. Clothing always depends on the male’s mood right that moment- the moment of truth, some would say. Namely, his father. Either way.
