Biography (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.): Tom's early years were as peaceful as any halfling could dream of. Born and raised in Gimblewood, he enjoyed the simple life of drinking, fishing and spending his nights reading with a pipe between his teeth. It was quite obvious adventure didn't suit Tom in the slightest, yet adventure often comes to those who do not wish it. One night the clanging of a bell tore through the night, an orc dinner raid! Being quite prepared, Tom made a dash for his hidden safe room. He tugged on the secret book lever, nothing. He tugged again, again nothing. Cursing his laziness for forgetting to maintain the mechanism Tom made for the window. A very doors down he could see a rather rotund orc dragging a family out by their toes. Not wanting to end up in an uruk's dinner pot like the Underhills, Tom picked up his pipe and fishing rod and made out the back window, running into the night. Now thoroughly lost and with no knowledge of the world outside of Gimblewood, Tom hopes to find somewhere to lie low. and hopefully fill his belly.
The first few nights turned out not to be as uncomfortable as Tom was expecting. Being high summer Tom enjoyed the sunny days on the banks of a river he found, happily fishing for his meal, and his nights with his back against a sturdy oak and a fire conjured up from his matches. His mind drifted back to Gimblewood though, to his favourite armchair and his olive green door door. While he missed his home quite dearly he didn't actually miss his kin in the slightest. Oh how he remembered being on the countless butt end of their jokes. "You'll be in a goblin's cooking pot if you don't start running faster Tom!" they'd shout, "Though it'll be good for us if they catch him first because his rump would be a three course meal and desert for them!" they'd add before bursting into howls of laughter. Well look who isn't in those cooking pots now aye? 'Fat Tom' is out here having the time of his life and you're all back there in the stomachs of a pack of orcs most likely.
This last thought cheered him up enough to forget the longing for his comfortable home, he could always find himself a new even more comfortable home wherever his adventures led him.
Personality Traits: A coward at heart, Tom avoids any kind of confrontation. He's also very selfish, thinking first of his stomach and then of his pipe before thinking of others
.
Ambitions: Read, eat, fish and write. What else could a halfling wish to do?
Strengths/Talents: Tom prides his fishing ability, often boasting to have caught a golden salmon from Gimblewood's very lake.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: faint of heart and a slow runner, having not kept up any form of exercise.
Appearance (List the extra details of your characters appearance, IE; height & weight): almost as wide as he is tall, Tom resembles more of a barrel than a halfling. His bright blue eyes are his pride though.
Appearance, please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin (If you need help, see our screenshot guide here):
