describe full personality = Tommy is the most laid back guy you will ever meet. The only way he could get more laid back is if he was dead. He thinks everything is hilarious and considers everybody his friend, even people he really shouldn't. Occasionally, his good cheer gives way to fits of paranoia and he's a bit too invested in conspiracy theories, but on the whole, he's a reasonably calm and friendly guy. Just don't expect him to actually get anything accomplished. [/size][/ul]
so the story begins...
Tommy grew up on Nox in the southern hemisphere, surrounded by eucalyptus trees and an assortment of other gum trees. Getting high wasn't something recreation, but simply the way that life went. Unlike a lot of other weres in his age group, he was nowhere near the First Contact disaster, and never cared about it one way or another. Instead, he spent his days relaxing and sleeping.
When he was older, he would travel to the local spaceport to sell eucalyptus leaves and make some cash. It was there that he met humans and other traveling weres, and heard about Terra. The description of a world without natural predators and all the sunlight he could ever want were enough to get Tommy to finally get out of his tree, and into action. He took a freighter to Terra, carrying with him a dozen variations of seeds and his family pipe.
Tommy now lives with Alex in a small apartment in the Middle. He spends most of his days on the couch, high as a kite, occasionally watering his plants and making sure they get enough sun. He recruits most of his customers over the Network, since there are no laws outlawing the sale of certain plantlife to nonhumans.
role play example =
Tommy woke up on the couch. This was a pretty regular thing for him to do. Most nights, he forgot to make it to his bed. It was just so far away. And the viewscreen wasn't in Tommy's bedroom. It was out here. So he might as well stay out here. And inevitably, he just fell asleep and woke up the next morning, and did it again.
His stomach growled a little. Tommy picked leaves off of the eucalyptus plant growing beside him, and ate them. Maybe later he'd roll some dried ones up and smoke them, but the best way to start the day was with some fresh leaves. Not only did it make him less hungry, it also made everything feel alright.
While he munched on the leaves, Tommy watched the viewscreen. The sound was off, but he didn't really notice that. He usually had the sound off when Alex was asleep, since Alex got mad if Tommy woke him up. Anyway, when Tommy was at a certain level of high, he swore he could hear the colours on the viewscreen, and didn't need the sound. It was amazing. Nox really needed these. He could have made a fortune selling them to other koalas. But it took all of his energy to just sell enough drugs to pay rent and buy some food. Selling TVs? No way man, that was too hard.
A commercial for some sort of drink came on. Tommy laughed, not because it was funny, but because the drink bottle was so weird looking that he couldn't help himself. It was such a weird bottle. Humans were awesome.
