Personality
Thomas is a just man. He likes to hear all sides of the story before he passes judgment, and he hates background smear campaigns. You got something to say, say it to his face. Heâs not one for orchestrating grand conspiracies, and he hates living in the shadows. He likes to be straightforward, mindful, and honest.
That is not to undercut his cunning and intelligence, however. He is perfectly capable of convincing others to his side. In fact, he is a born-charmer; without exception he has always gotten what he wanted just by the sparkle in his eye and the grit in his teeth. He can plan ahead for ten years in the future, but prefers to throw caution to the wind for the next 10 minutes.
Heâs a family man, through and through, and he letâs no one â NO ONE â mess with his family. He will sacrifice everything he owns, he aspires to own, or was supposed to own for his family, and he will die before he letâs anyone or anything lay a finger on any of his babies. He doesnât like to label himself as anything other than âmanâ, believing sexual orientations are too constrictive. But heâs fair and equal; man or woman, adult or child, everyone has equal say, everyone has their own self-worth, and everyone is beautiful.
He does have his faults, of course. Oftentimes, his temper gets the best of him, and he will make rash decisions at the drop of the hat, often endangering his family or hampering their prosperity. Heâs gotten better over the years, but when he was young, he would go out partying and end up in county jail⊠quite often.
He is passionate, determined and just; between his lucrative ranching and politicking, and his familyâs easy but gradual integration into the community, he wont let anyone strong-arm them into hiding any longer.
History
Thomas Robert Lorraine was born in Square City, USA to an immigrant French father and Irish mother. Thomas never knew of the polygamist lifestyle, living in an urban setting and growing up being strict Catholics. Thomasâs family was so Catholic, they refused to go to a Mass in English and said all their prayers in Latin. Occaisionally, though, Thomasâs family would have a neighborhood cookout in the street, and heâd see all the kids and all the neighbors. It always felt like everyone was family. He liked that, he liked having a large family
Thomas went to a prestigious Catholic high school, St. Monicaâs Science Academy, where he refined his Catholic faith. Never much a stick in the mud, Thomas almost got expelled for his upbeat and charismatic mannerisms. In his senior year, he was such a partier, he was nearly stricken as Student Body President, but his father visited the Dean and threatened his life.
Originally intending to become a priest, Thomas attended the seminary in Round Town, and wasnât particularly impressed at first. The quietness and serenity wasnât for him. But he graduated, found a job in the city, and thatâs how he started his family
Ten years ago, his wives and husband decided that the Big City didnât have enough room for their growing family and so they packed up and headed for Round Town, buying out an old homestead near the base of Curvy River.
Paraphernalia/Memorabilia
Cat â âJuliusâ
Thomasâs Turkish Water Cat, Julius, was a gift from an old colleague of his back in the city. Julius usually roams the manor house or sneaks out and hunts wild kangaroo-rats. When Thomas is sitting on his chair, Julius is right there on his lap, purring up a storm.
Wolf-Dog â âQuickâ
Quick was a rescue dog from a nearby shelter. The one-year old wolf-dog is a little ditzy sometimes, but he is deathly loyal to Thomas and NEVER leaves his sight.
Shire Horse â âMajestyâ
Majesty is a spectacular Shire stallion that Thomas won years back in a poker game. At first the two hated each other, but after awhile they have learned to love and trust each other, riding about the homestead and gazing about from on high.
Edsel
Thomasâs baby, his 1959 black Edsel Villager.
Breviary
Thomasâs breviary, with which he rigorously and privately prays the daily Divine Office.
