Brief History: Thomas Xavier was always the kid with a smile on his face, starting from when his parents brought him home from the hospital after he was born. He was a good baby, and hardly ever fussed, but when he started learning how to walk, there was no stopping him. He wanted to explore, and touch things, and figure out what was what. His parents usually let him learn by doing, but when he did dumb stuff like try and walk into a lit fireplace when he was 4, they had to think of some way to distract him so he didn't hurt himself...and the kid had a bad habit of hurting himself. By the time he was 5, the poor boy was already walking around with a cast on his arm...and it seemed as though every other month, they'd be going back to the doctor to get another x-ray. It sucked, whenever he couldn't go out and play with his friends, but that didn't stop him from climbing around on jungle gyms, or swing sets, or
anything that
could be climbed on.
The happy, fun-loving, adventure-seeking boy made friends easily, but the friendships were never long lasting. He played with who was around, but he never had that one friend who he could grab whenever he was bored…until he reached 4th grade, and bumped into a kid named Derek Farmer on the playground. He was a year ahead of him in school, so Thomas felt kind of cool, hanging out with an older kid, but they became close friends almost immediately. He was always up for whatever ridiculous plan of action Derek had in mind, but that worked both ways. The two of them together got into trouble quite often, and even though it started out pretty innocent, with them tipping over garbage cans behind the school or something stupid like that, their schemes became more risky…like spray painting, or vandalizing property. They never did it to be malicious, they were just having fun.
From the day he first met Farmer, the two were inseparable. It was rare to see one without the other, whether they were walking down the hallways or sitting with each other during class. Even though there was a year’s gap between their ages, they took art classes together, since they were both good at it. Thomas’ style differed from Derek’s, who wanted to actually pursue art in college, while Thomas always strived to be a tattooist. He also loved getting ink done, and went so far as to get a fake I.D. when he was 16, just so he could get his first piece of artwork needled onto his skin.
After he graduated from high school, he applied for several apprenticeships at various locations after looking them up, and even applied out of state, after researching some of the shop’s tattooists. He was 18, and got accepted to work under a man in Miami, Florida. Of course he was excited, since he had been working at a local shop for the last couple of years as “shop bitch”…but this also meant moving to Florida. It took him a while, but he didn’t know when an opportunity like this would come along again…so he took the job, leaving his family and friends behind on the Island.
7 years went by, and he flew back to the Island as often as he could, keeping in touch with everyone, but didn’t actually move back until meeting with a Mister Alvin Alkeinos at a convention being held in Tampa. The two started talking, and when he found out that he knew Derek Farmer, and therefore knew his daughter Alena, and their co-workers as well (he was friends with Cove Braddock by this point as well), Alvin talked Thomas into leaving his job, and coming to work for him, since he was fond of his work and thought he was talented. It didn’t take long to be convinced to move back home, and packed his bags that night, leaving to go and join the crew at Oscurcimiento, and surprise his best friend, who he would now be working with.
Now living in an apartment in the center of the Island, Thomas continues working at Oscurcimiento, and doesn’t plan on leaving any time soon.
