Characters Played: Harlock
IC INFORMATION
Character Name: Thomas (Thomas a’Bairdach in AU)
AU or OU: AU
Canon: Suikoden III
Canon Point: N/A
Character Age: 15-16 in Canon, aged up to 17-18 in AU, Thomas in canon is already a skilled merchant by the time he shows up in the game, and is quickly given the responsibility of running a derelict castle and its neighboring community.
AU Description: Thomas is a half-elf but heavily favoring his human side in appearance and aptitude (his ears when not hidden by his hair are more Vulcan-like than long and angular), along with a crippling Acrophobia that would be looked down upon by orthodox members of the Empire. Instead of being killed by bandits, his elven mother was a victim of Noble hunts, and Thomas had a more solid purpose for seeking out his father: getting into a position where he can get revenge on the culprit and stop the hunting of peasants.
His father is Lord Tarquin Lowma and part of the Imperial court who had no legitimate children of his own, but he’s far more shrewd than his canon counterpart, not recognizing Thomas as his son outright for now, believing the young man to be either ambitious or starved for fatherly attention “Sponsors” him as a good and proper noble would for skilled young men, arranging him to enter a bureaucratic position near Elysium for most of the year, and introducing him as his live-in secretary when he’s recalled to his father’s manor, with the idea that he’ll exploit the inside information Thomas will have access to as a clerk and courier. There's also that Lowma is aware of people wanting his estates, and is keeping Thomas in his back pocket in the event he needed to produce a heir to fend off an usurpation or form an alliance.
Thomas on his side sees his job and his father’s lukewarm patronage as a means to help people, eventually coming into contact with the Corsairs, passing on information, and even helping to forge seals to make documents look legitimate. Thomas knows he’s playing a very dangerous game.
OU Backstory: Thomas' page on the suikoden wiki
Powers and Abilities: Thomas is honestly, an extremely poor fighter – he does have an uncanny instinct for dodging and parrying attacks, but he will lose to any half-way skilled fighter, especially as he seems to have a tendency to get his sword stuck in things from overcommitting. He could in theory become a very agile finesse fighter, but he doesn’t really have the desire to do so.
He does however have a strong affinity for wind magic and healing magic as a subset of wind magic, able to summon powerful gusts of wind to shred and push enemies around and heal wounds and exhaustion with a “breath of life” (either using the innate magic, or – very reluctantly by stealing it from opponents to give to allies).
Cyclone rune - essentially re-flavoring the Wind/Cyclone Rune as listed in the Suikoden III entry which he has the best affinity with as innate magical ability.
Desired Faction: Elysium, Flotsam
