Appearance
Thomas is appealing looking but not overly memorable. Customers, acquaintances, and dear friends alike are more likely to remember impressions of his appearance rather than anything approaching a forensic description: a brilliant smile, animated hands, perfect posture, and hints of a Grisic accent at times. If one managed to get a good look, however, more details would emerge: mid-length brown hair that's tied up if it gets too long, brown eyes that could be described as soulful, and the impression that he's growing a beard but not following through. Thomas is muscular but not particularly strong; he's no stranger to manual labor but isn't much for combat. When things get dicey, he'd much rather run away than fight. He has an odd scar on his inner thigh that few people have managed to see; his explanation is it was the result of being burnt while working in a factory as a teen.
Personality
Thomas is a consummate people person. He enjoys getting to know people, learning their troubles, and trying to help them. He's industrious, not afraid of a challenge, and loves the thrills that come along with sales, persuasion, and acquiring large sums of money. Once he has it, however, he tends to piss it away. When money is plentiful, he enjoys giving it away to the poor, gambling, and boozing. Strangely, despite seeming to enjoy patronizing brothels, he usually stays in the common area and is rarely seen to go upstairs.
People who get to know Thomas discover that under the charming facade is someone who is not overly emotional, likes other people's company but is awkward to spend long amounts of time with, and enjoys intimacy but struggles with letting people in. There's one glaring exception to this rule: he is a bit of a romantic, and tends to develop ferocious crushes. With those people, he can be a bit more forthcoming, although many exes have accused him of being oddly blank once you get to know him. It doesn't help that when things go south, he tends to just bail; many lovers have wondered what became of him as he has a bad habit of departing without so much as a note.
