Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Thomas carries himself with an easy, unshakable confidence, the kind that turns heads without trying. Of average height and weight, with a wiry strength honed by both hard work and high-speed maneuvers, he moves with a natural grace—fluid, effortless, like a man always a step ahead but never in a hurry. His sharp features—high cheekbones, a strong jaw, and a roguish smirk that never lingers too long—give him an air of mischief, but there’s a quiet sincerity in his steady, watchful gaze, the eyes of a man who’s knows the void of space and knows its dangers well. His voice is a slow, honeyed drawl, rich with Southern charm, each word measured and deliberate. He tips his ever present cowboy hat with a knowing grin; his “Yes, ma’am” and “No, sir” always smooth, always respectful, never forced. There’s an old-world courtesy to him, a chivalry that runs deep—he’ll hold a door, stand when a lady enters the room, and never take the last sip of whiskey if someone else is empty-handed. Despite his charm, he’s no mere flirt—his honor is as much a part of him as the calluses on his hands or the dust on his boots. He keeps his word like it’s written in stone, fights only when he must, and never strikes a man who’s down. But cross a line, and his easygoing nature hardens into steel. In the cockpit, he’s fearless, pushing the limits of man and machine with a reckless precision that turns dogfights into high-stakes dances. His loyalty is absolute, his sense of justice unshakable, and while he may ride the edges of the law, he never strays far from what’s right. He’s a man of stories, of laughter, of moonlit rides and whispered promises, of roaring starfighter engines and the silent vastness of space. A rogue, a gentleman, a fighter pilot, and above all, a cowboy who walks the line between charm and grit, mischief and honor. |

| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths: Tomas is a prodigy in flying any kind of craft, but fighters is where he shines. He is highly honorable and fair, extremely loyal to a fault, determined, confident (some would say cocky) in his and his fellow Starfleet crew’s abilities, never backs down, keeps getting back up no matter how many times he falls, and extremely polite. Weaknesses: Tomas is an adrenaline junky, headstrong, cocky at times, and likely to take almost any dare. He is a daredevil in the cockpit of a fighter and will usually do the most daring, reckless, and dangerous stunts possible (outside of fighters as well). |

| Ambitions | To be the absolute best fighter and test pilot in the galaxy! | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Tomas is an adrenaline junky. He loves flying, gunslinging and gun twirling, roping, bronco busting, bull riding, horseback riding, camping, orbital diving, free diving, free soloing/bouldering, darts, boxing, and poker. He also loves tinkering on fighters and shuttles. |
