Personality: Tommie is a very straightforward man. If your fly is down, he will tell the world, and if you made a mistake, he will be sure to let you know about it. Although he is kind and does not mean any harm, his smart-ass tendencies often make people find him kind of annoying. But being the straight shooter he is, nothing is likely to change that any time soon. Tommie is also what one could call a nerd, preferring board games to bloody ones. He is the guy who plans the getaway, not the one driving. But it is not that he dislikes violence, it is just that he is not very good at it, and anyone who has ever fought him can confirm this. Tommie likes to have people working under him, to be able to control the game. And when he ever gets really into anything, "control freak" just does not cut it anymore.
Bio: Tommie was blessed with a somewhat better than average intelligence at a young age, which was pretty good in Avrendale. But even if he was, he sure did not show it as a kid. He was always rebellious and playing around during class, hanging out with the wrong kids and not focusing on schoolwork. That all changed when he discovered chess. At first he just played with the old people in the park in secret to avoid getting bullied by the very people he hung out with. But then he moved up to playing with kids from other schools and even going into amateur tournaments. Once he got into high school, his thirst for things to pass the time increased. This is when he found interest in computers, and showed promise as a programmer. Then some tough jocks started bullying him for his nerdy hobbies, and that really made Tommie angry. How could such simpleminded cretins hurt him? So, he took psychology class, learning how people thought so he could outsmart the stupid bullies. And surprisingly, it worked; Tommie practically had them in the palm of his hand, easily leading them off, talking himself out of hopeless seemingly situations, even tricking the teachers into doing things like forgetting to pass out a test. This feeling of control became a natural high for Tommie, even now, he enjoys mentally messing with people. Once Tommie graduated, he was, by mere chance, pulled into a gang that his friend was a part of. The leader of the gang saw the potential in Tommie, and took him in. He quickly gained notoriety for his hacking abilities and interrogation skills, and now he sits comfortably high-up in the gang. But Tommie is always thirsting for more, more power, and who in Avrendale has the most power out of anyone?
Other: Because of Tommie's poor physical prowess, he always carries around a can of pepper spray and a pair of nunchuks, although he has no idea how to use the latter.
