Personality: Tommy is a relatively laid-back guy with a curiosity for anything and everything, which has made him know a bit about everything, but not a lot about anything. However, there is one exception to his. Music. Countless hours can pass Tommy by as he researches and devours info about bands or music event that interest him. The dream of being a musician was there from a young age, but he has ended up putting it on the shelf as he does not have a single musical bone in his body.
History
Backstory:
There is no such thing as love at first sight; it is just a saying people use to fool themselves into believing that mister/misses right will come along one day. That one day they will get swept off their feet into some love story that rivaling even Romeo and Juliet. But, that day won't come, at least not for 99,9% of us. However, lust at first sight? Now that's a bit more believable, and Thomas is the proof. But let's get this back on track.
Thomas was born the 14th of March, to a woman named Julia Lindahl, a woman with no clue of how to take care of herself, let alone the baby she had just brought into the world, but that didn't mean she was going to give up her little miracle. Every day had its own set of challenges, but by the time Tommy started kindergarten, his mother had turned her life around. She worked her butt off, but Thomas never needed for anything. They had a roof over their head and food on the table. It was by no means a life of luxury, but it was enough.
As he grew, Tommy kept asking about his dad, wanting to know everything there was to know about him, who he was, what he worked as, and what his name was. But around age 15, Tommy stopped asking; slowly learning that his mother had no info to give him. She could describe his father as a tall, handsome man, with blue eyes and brown hair, and then the next day he suddenly had brown eyes and blonde hair. It hurt knowing that he would never meet his father, the chances of stumbling across a man his mother couldn't even describe were astronomical, and so Tommy learned to live with it.
Important life events:
The first spark:
Tommy was five when he showed the first hints of being a tad bit special. Up till then, his mother had managed to explain away the constant jolts she got from touching her son on static electricity caused by the wall to wall carpets, but upon seeing her son make a loose lightbulb light up by touching it, she knew he was special.
The discharge:
Tommy learned to control his powers as he grew up, but if anything or anyone pushed his buttons enough there were misfires. The biggest of these misfires would be the event where Tommy siphoned all the power from his school and then let it out in a giant burst. The energies caused blackouts several blocks away. electrical appliances exploded, and the people close by found themselves with a few new burn marks.
The lightning rod:
One would assume that someone who manipulates electricity would be able to notice when a lightning storm is heading their way, and yes, under normal circumstances Tommy had a pretty decent clue, but it was his 18th birthday and he had ended up going hiking with a few friends. The group had put their tents down at the top of a small hill and worked their way through a few beers as the night settled upon them. It was great fun, at least until the rain and wind started. Everyone scurried back to their tents to seek shelter from the elements, but Tommy never got that far as he found himself working as a makeshift lightning rod.
Tommy doesn't remember much from that night, but if his friends are to be believed, he absorbed at least three bolts.
