Personality Profile:

He's not outgoing and not shy his main focus in the corp is to stay under most peoples radar, not get picked as ex-navy (Mostly never happens) he one for the joke providing it doesn't go too far usually he's at odds with most Marines on that count, often being the butt or target of jokes or pranks being a squid as they call him. Doing the only thing his culture knew how to do when faced with being labeled he took the table and when called out opens admits he's one and on a mission to prove they aren't so bad.

Not dumb or stupid he likes technical things, circuits, plans, weapons, manuals reading and doing. He'll defend the Marines, Navy and Humanity mostly in the order, Navy corpsman probably first. A non-cynical realist he can't believe in victory or defeat at least not in the conventional sense, victory is survival an honorable survival. He usually always wants to do nearly his best, good to save something in the tank when yours and your buddies life are in danger. He might have been born on Reach but that came with a father who served in the Navy, he also understands the farmer a little, just wanting their little slice of heaven.

Physical Description:

An average guy of average looks the main features people usually notice are his accent and occasionally the green ring around his Irises. He's no man mountain or a twig, he's the sort of person most people pass and forget everyday kind of guy. His hands show the signs of his former profession Electronics tech for the UNSC Navy, he's got a few burn marks and scars from sharp edges, beams and bangs anyone who uses their hands often get. Not one for tattoos he doesn't have any. His back and chest show some but few signs of hitting a planet slightly above maximum safe speed in a lifeboat a few pin point scars from pieces of spacecraft that had inhabited him for a little while.

He doesn't stand super tall but he doesn't drop his shoulders, he looks almost grimly determined. He's perhaps a shade paler than most like him, but a couple years on the inside of navy ships isn't the trick to a great beach body. If you had to sum him up in two words; Dependable looking.

Background Information:

Tom was Born on Reach in the region of Alfold as his Father assisted the Navy handing paperwork for the scrapping of ships towards the end of that man's career. Once that relatively short period of the first few years of his life passed his Family moved to New Darwin a planet just into the outer colonies remarkable mainly for its single large titanium mine among being one of the few colonized planets most of whose descendants were almost either Australian, New Zealander British or Irish.

This was the planet his parents had come from and the one he would grow up and go to school on. The planet of a few million people centred around the mildly temperate continent that housed the mine. Growing up on another just another planet that did what it needed to get by and contribute to humanity, there was as could be expected with the luck these people had bushfires, floods and the occasional hurricane.New Darwin like most other planets was not spared the bombing, murders and other goings on of the insurrection, the main presence of UNSC on the planet had been at the space elevator and facilities related mainly to the titanium mine but also the modest output of the planets farming mainly hardy grains and bovines.

Tom grey up more with the Covenant than the insurrection like most people around his age, they couldn't or couldn't appreciate their memories of the peace. He did what most kids did everywhere, got ok grades some good some bad. His tended to be better the more practical the application. Electronics had become his hobby, probably a by product of an electrical engineer father that brought things home to tinker with. Not always the most friendly or like he got in his fare share of fights, lost some won some. You live you learn.

His first real job was helping those around the modest town he lived in near the edge of the city where small community farms of small animals and easy crops grew with odd jobs, it was almost an electricians apprenticeship but that time would come. New Darwin had been transformed when more and more colonies were attacked or stopped community It's mines and food became even more precious. As survivors and those few that fled the other colonies came to New Darwin there was always the feeling beneath the work of the world that their time would probably come.

When he graduated High School he was only seventeen, this was because he had started school a year early. This meant he had a few options now open to him, work on or the mines, farms or do what so many people were now being called on in ever greater numbers to do, Serve. He chose the last option Enlisted in the UNSC Navy within a couple weeks of graduation.

Tom did quite well during his Navy training in the top quarter of candidates both during basic and then occupational training as a electronics technician. His first posting was aboard the UNSC Savo Island. Tom spent just over a year on board the ship and was promoted To crewman apprentice before being reassigned to the UNSC Jackboot.

It was aboard the Jackboot Tom started to get feelings he hadn't chosen the right service, seeing the Marines do battle and often stop or partially overcome Covenant ground forces only to be forced to evacuate as the Covenant glassed the planet out of frustration or having got what ever they were looking for. Shortly after making full crewman due to casualties and being a dependable crew member the Jackboot was involved in a defence of a small colony where the numbers of ships were stacked evenly, this however meant not much the technological superiority of the Covenant's ships caused most vessels to be destroyed or break formation.

His ship having been crippled but not completely destroyed some of the crew managed to escape the doomed vessel, himself included. Tom's escape to the surface wasn't without incident the covenant hadn't begun glassing the planet as they were heading for the only real city on the planet with ground forces and his lifeboat hadn't managed to get completely out of range of the Jackboot before it was mopped up by one of covenant ships. Accelerated by the forces of the ships reactors exploding.

His lifeboat hit the surface too fast and everyone on board was injured or killed as it partially broke up on landing. Surviving the crash he and a couple other crewman and a pair of Marines that had also survived the crash made their way to the city during the adventure Tom was one of the few naval personnel who had been in good enough shape to take over form some of the other more injured Marines, it was then he got his first handful of covenant kills. He managed to escape the doomed planet with the some of the planets garrison and other survivors were evacuated on board the surviving ships as the covenant flotilla scoured the system for anything that might be of use in the systems asteroid based titanium mines.

When they managed to get back to UNSC controlled space spurred on by the events on the planet in particular one of the Marines that he had landed with giving his life to protect all the others he requested a transfer to the marines. Being accepted his time in boot camp was more socially and personally challenging that fitness but the Marines are a different standard than the navy, he just had an advantage over most other candidates something he now wished he probably didn't have, standing out had got him recognized as a former squid and he'd paid for it, extra details and fun times.

Tom Graduated boot camp and infantry school before receiving his fire Marine posting, it was the Marine detail attached to the UNSC Saxony, after which he was assigned as a replacement to the Twelfth Marines, First Battalion, Oscar company.
