Summary of Character:

I'm so sorry about Tom in advance.

A mysterious man who manages to also be a bit mysterious to himself, Thomas Zane was a talented auteur who moved to the PNW from Finland. Tom had an art commune in the sleepy town of Bright Falls, and he had big dreams...unfortunately, the lake there held dark power, and certain works of art made near it come true.

He made a film there, Tom the Poet, which overwrote reality, sentencing him to the same fate as the character he portrayed himself to be...and he disappeared into the lake in 1969. Since then, he's been away in a dark dimension called the Dark Place, losing himself for decades and slipping into a life of loneliness, violence, and vice. Waiting for just the right collaboration to come along to set him free.

At least, that's what he'll tell you.

Tom is a menace, flashy and almost constantly drinking or smoking (don't worry, he'll be good on campus, it's coffee...........mostly). He dresses like Van Morrison, hates shoes and shirts, is always looking for the next thing to make art from, and is generally going to be way, way too excited to be among real people again. The cataclysm is a small price to pay! HE DOES COME WITH A BIG OL' WARNING FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE, so please feel free to hit his permissions if there's something you don't want to interact with!

His powers center on film - he can "cut" himself through a room, flickering in and out at high speeds. He can also "edit" facets of reality, moving objects, people (with permission from players of course!), and other small changes. Back where he came from, he was resistant to wounds and death, turning otherwise fatal blows into special effects on a whim...but he's going to find that here, those abilities come with a much higher cost than he's used to.

Excited to play with all of you! =D

I don't know much about this canon, but how you've described his powers seems really interesting! I can't wait to see that in action.

Aw, thank you!! It's a bizarre canon, to be sure, but I love this little weirdo.

HERE is a clip from when you first meet him in game if you want a visual! He pops up in live action sequences.
