July 2004: One minute I'm 27, I'm in Albania, it's 1954, and I'm working on, ahem, advancing my career, then the next moment hanging about at [info]milliways_bar. And liking it.

Maybe all that time spent brooding and plotting should have been spent enjoying life a little. Maybe I'll be making up for lost time, here at the end of the universe.

I'm finding that things are not as black and white as I once thought. I'm not as black as I once thought.

And there's a girl... a magnificent girl.

Details about character:
This version of Tom is based on my fanfic called Strange and Wondrous which includes some key events in 1955 leading Tom to becoming Voldemort. Thus he's coming from 1954 for the RPG. He's an angry, bitter, and malicious character, but very intelligent, charming, and conflicted. And like most villains, he's never been really loved. I perceive him as much more intellectually driven than sexually driven - I don't think Tom got around much when he was younger. That's just my perception, though.

When he first arrived at Milliways he was mostly confused - his self-esteem and expectations took a major hit from finding out what happens to Voldemort as of Goblet of Fire. He used to know exactly what he wanted and how to get it, at Milliways, he wasn't sure what he wanted. He also met some very interesting people who gave him plenty to think about. He decided to be who he wants to be, instead of what he's been destined to be.

And did I mention there's a girl? Tom is now bound by oath and blood ritual to Lady Door of the House of Arch in London Below. He is Lord Ostium, and firmly on the road to redemption. See here for more insight into his character.

Tom and Door were married in February of their year 1998 (Milliways 2006) for the romantic seal to their relationship. They're the parental figures for Ingress, Door's little sister, and Gavroche Thernardier, who was taken in upon his arrival at Milliways.then

Also of note, this is an AU Tom - he is an aspect of himself plucked from 1954; in fact, he's all the remaining humanity existing within Voldemort when he made his second Horcrux. Tom is the result of magical convergence bringing that part of his soul whole and intact to Milliways. This aspect of Tom has been given a second chance.

He is a charming, attractive young man, with black hair and deep blue eyes. He's 6'1" and of medium build. He is a bookish guy, but he's not scrawny. :P He has long thin scars on his palms from the Ritual in which he was accepted into the House of Arch. In addition to being a Legilimens, he is an Occlumens, and gets rather twitchy about anyone breaking through his mental shields.

Tom resides in [info]house_of_arch and can be found in [info]milliways_bar and [info]neverways - London Below in the time of Milliways.

Of course, the fanfic and the character are based on JK Rowling's creations. [info]vivien529 is borrowing them respectfully He appears here solely for the purpose of role-playing in [info]milliways_bar, from which no profit whatsoever is being made.
