Name: Tom Anima
Age: Roughly 27
Pronouns: Male
Race: Shade/Ghost subspecies (exists in a corporeal state when conscious)
Occupation: Acquisitions Specialist for Leverage, Inc. (will put up Living Lore of organization).
Personality: Tom is a relatively upbeat ghost who takes life with casual calm and cheer. He rarely gets upset or offended, preferring to simply let the negativity of others wash over him. He presents a friendly and amiable persona to all who approach him or that he approaches, determined to see the good in others unless proven otherwise. That said, his ire can be raised, and he tends to hold grudges once provoked either directly or indirectly. Most notably, the harm of children can provoke him, as can abuse of any kind to anyone. He prefers to avoid direct physical conflict, but this is due to his rather more frail build; he is absolutely capable of carrying out his grudges via property damage or misplacement, and striking someone off guard, such as in the dead of night.
He is fond of exploring and learning, academically or about people. This latter trait is why he left the harsh colds land of Avarell he formed in to venture to Pont-Ciel, the city ever expanding. He is curious about Magitech and where it can go, though his nature may be against him to properly use it himself. He has little sense of personal possessions, to the point that he sheds no tears robbing homes, business, or anything in between as he sees fit either for personal reasons or for his work. Equally, he owns little himself; as a Ghost he has no need of food, drink, or even air, and his personal space to live in is quite small, more of a place to pass out from time to time in safety.

(Please note, Tom does NOT have Ban's scar).
Tom has, to a human, the lovely albinism coloration of red eyes and white hair, along with white skin coloration. He stands at roughly 5'11, with a thinner yet still relatively fit body. He tends towards grey or white clothing that fully conceals his skin, along with black gloves. He is aware this makes him appear rather faded or washed out. His body is rather cool to the touch, owing to his heritage of being a ghost that formed deep within Avarell and shortly after developed sentience and corporeality. He has no scars or any sort of skin marking such as tattoos, and dislikes accessories such as jewelry.
Background: Tom formed deep in one of the caves of Avarell, where naught ventured save snow blown in from the harsh winds. He suspected, yet had no proof, that he was formed partially of the regrets of those who died from the icy winds and hypothermia; specifically, their regrets of never seeing the rest of the world or how the future unfolded. When Tom formed, he was formed with basic knowledge of the world and his current adult appearance, further cementing in his mind he was a composition of others who had passed, their knowledge accumulating into the regrets and spirits until he coalesced. Pushed to go see the world, his very first act was to leave the empty darkness in which he formed, proceeding down cavernous hallways and walls in a straight line until he reached the open air.
After leaving his wintery cave, Tom began to roam Avarell, exploring whatever direction or ruin caught his attention, curious and always exploring when he could, yet at first cautious of others and keen to keep out of sight. While he had no need of food, drink, or even anything to shield him from the icy winds, being a ghost formed at least partially of the cold and thus uncaring of temperature, he did scavenge a supply of clothes and various other items such as bags, tools and knives from the bodies of those not fully prepared for the elements and hazards of Avarell's wilds. He also collected a fair amount of currency, reasoning that it would do better in his possession then that of a body already taken by Moros, leaving the bodies enough currency to pay the God's tithe.
Eventually, tiring of the dark cold of Avarell, Tom set off to instead explore and perhaps even reside in the ever-progressing city of Pont-Ciel. With the stolen currency and objects taken from bodies and sometimes those of the living rather more discreetly, Tom bartered his way to Pont-Ciel. From there he joined a "business" organization by the name of Leverage, Inc, to put his talents of "acquiring" interesting things to use, with a fair amount of teaching and oversight to make use of his intangible skills.
Nowadays Tom works either with whoever is needed or as a solo specialist in acquiring objects or information for clientele under the directive of his employers. His pay goes to maintaining his safe home studio in Bleeding Heart, access to the libraries of Pont-Ciel, and otherwise continously saved up. He at times ponders the idea of enrolling at The Conservatory for more direct furthering of knowledge, but for now he is content with his role and current lifestyle.
Future is full of possibilities though... and he intends to see as much as he can.
