Bio


Thomas is the neighborhood conspiracy lunatic and is often made fun of for their theories. They spend most of their time trying to figure out what's really going on in their world. Most avoid them to be spared of their egregious ramblings on aliens, cryptids, and any other oddity. One of their few friends is Caden, who is also their boyfriend. They might have also broken into the S.R.L.P.G. Lab to photograph specimens before getting kicked out by Liam himself.

Besides their dedication to the strange, Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable in their fields of ufology and cryptozoology. They're very helpful and will drop anything to help someone in need. Thomas is extremely affectionate when it comes to their family and partners. If something doesn't go their way, Thomas will force it to. They're also known to harass and stalk those who they're interested in interviewing, going through extreme lengths to do so. They also tend to brag and boast about how right they are about the strange happenings.

Backstory
Born in Javatown, Thomas grew up in a normal household with their family. It wasn't until they discovered Dr. Mack Ine's copper arm that they became invested in exposing the weird and unnatural to the world. They constantly harassed him until he threatened to call the police. The Tela family had to move after their family name was hated in Javatown, soon settling in Skippulos. They began constructing more theories as they encountered many peculiar sightings and creatures, such as the sky changing color. Thomas began listening and reading anything and everything relating to the paranormal, mostly aliens. They had made a new friend, Owen, who they found humorously bizarre for his obsession with eating crayons.

Thomas' dad had found a new job in Spiritopion, and so the family moved once more. The idea of spreading their theories with new people at their school excited Thomas to no limit. They printed multiple copies of their research and tried handing it out to anyone in the hallways. This wasn't taken too well. Several students complained of Thomas, often reporting them to the principal. That didn't stop them, and they continued, but more secretly this time. A group of bullies were keen on stopping Thomas, and they began to pick fights with them. During one, Thomas was knocked over and beaten, breaking their glasses in the process. Caden stepped in and defended them, thinking they were just some random kid. Afterwards, the two became fast friends, and Thomas clung onto him for years.

After Caden's death, Thomas secluded themself in their room, only coming out for needs like food or water. They were determined to show the world that they're right, even going as far as stalking, harassing, and even threatening others to get information. Thomas' reputation around Spiritopion quickly turned sour, and everyone around them vilified the conspiracy theorist. Every single person knew of them and avoided them like the plague, lest they too fall victim to their theories.
