As human as he may look though, the air around him is always colder than normal. His eyes are a piercing sapphire blue, and his short hair is raven black but reflects light strangely, kinda how an oil slick does. He carries a briefcase around with him which he keeps all his school things in, plus a sub-machinegun covered in intricate carvings, rigged to fire from a secret compartment. The compartment's easy to find on close inspection though, as it needs the majority of space in the suitcase.In his demonic form his skin becomes more pale, and the irises of his eyes, when inspected closely, look as though they're composed of slivers of ice. He grows a pair of inch long horns made of bone-hard ice, his breath becomes misted and frosty, and he leaves frost on whatever he comes in contact with. He also gains wings and a tail, his wings made of feathers exactly like his hair and a scaly black tail ending in a point, which he's able to use like an extra limb. The scales of his tail also possess the strange oily sheen.History:Thomas was born a healthy, normal son to a pair of German parents. Both parents worked in the police force, though his mother took time off after his birth to care for him until he was old enough to be put in daycare. His parents were utterly puzzled by the nature of his eyes and hair, but they had no complaints. The true nature of his appearance though was latent traces of demonic blood, originating from his father's side and acquired by his ancestors through means of dark rituals in medieval times. This seemed to have little more than an aesthetic effect though, because his parents raised him as a kind and caring young gentleman.Thomas had great respect for his parents. His mother worked in bomb disposal and his father was a respected detective, and the love they had for their work came second only to their family. Thomas' parents brought home a lot of income from their respective professions, and they always shared their knowledge with him, so with his impressive intellect he grew into the police lifestyle quickly and easily absorbed the knowledge they gave him. His mother in particular had an appreciation for firearms which her son managed to inhererit, and she maintained a number of valuable arms which she kept on display behind bulletproof glass with an electronic lock (being in bomb disposal she could get a little paranoid about risks).His world came crashing down though during a simple trip to the bank with his father. They were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Two armed men entered the bank while Thomas and his father were standing in line. Everyone was told to lie on the floor, which most did, except for an elderly woman who simply couldn't. Thomas' father attempted to reason with the bank robbers on the part of the confused and scared woman, but the criminals soon became frustrated, and one of them shot the old woman then Thomas' father. The old woman died before she hit the floor, and Thomas' father took a bullet to the head, but was still alive, unconscious and bleeding though. Thomas, being only seven years old at the time, freaked out and started screaming. In response the second criminal, who was armed with a sawn-off shotgun, calmly walked over and smacked Thomas in the head with the butt of his weapon. Thomas fell to the floor, silent, and in a few moments he came back to his senses, realising he was bleeding from his head. He sat up and looked around. His father was still on the floor beside him, still bleeding into the worn carpet. Both criminals' backs were turned to him, the man with the sawn-off shotgun only a few metres away. He didn't understand what he did next, but he did it calmly and without fuss. Thomas removed his father's swiss army knife from his pocket and quietly unfolded the blade as he walked up behind the shotgun wielding criminal, then almost emotionlessly he drove it hard into the back of the criminal's knee. The criminal fell over, dropping his gun and grabbing his knee. Thomas picked up the sawn-off shotgun and turned on the criminal who had shot his father. The criminal hesitated for a moment at the sight of an armed child, telling Thomas to put the gun down. He knew how to use it though. Before the first criminal had finished talking, Thomas sneered and fired the shotgun, leaving his target with only the bottom half of their head. He silently turned on the second criminal, who was lying on the floor and now begging for his life. His pleas fell on deaf ears as Thomas emptied the second barrell into the criminal's stomach. He then tossed the gun to one side, and sat and watched as the second criminal died. The situation was covered up, and the story was changed for the public. As far as anyone was concerned Thomas' father resolved the situation at the cost of suffering brain damage from the gunshot wound to the head.Life quickly went downhill for Thomas, his mother now had to pay for someone to take care of her husband, who was in a vegetable like state. She also became scared of Thomas after being told what he did, tending to avoid him at home and interact very little with him. Thomas' life became lonely and depressing. He soon had strange recurring dreams of standing on a great plain of ice, a massive three-headed figure resided on the horizon, and he could see people trapped under the ice below him. In addition to that his mother also became depressed, and took to drinking. Thomas learnt to hide in his room when she was in a bad mood. When drunk his mother accused him of all the bad things that were happening. He could only cope by switching off his emotions. His mother was relieved of her duty after a bomb disposal blunder which put a colleague in a wheelchair. Thus they could no longer afford the special care for Thomas' father and they had to keep him at home. Thomas spent more and more time out of the house to avoid his wrathful mother, and things went from bad to worse. Each time he had the dream now, it seemed as though he was getting closer to the huge thing on the horizon.After about a year of living like this his mother snapped, fortunately it was while Thomas was staying over at a friends. The next day Thomas came home to a crime scene, and was informed that there had been a murder-suicide in the house. He nodded, and after packing a few things took the bus to his grandparents' house a few hours from the city, by himself. He lived there for a few months, but his grandparents became unnerved living with a child so different from the one they used to know, they found him emotionally detached and somewhat disturbing. It was at his grandparents' that he started displaying his unnatural behaviour. He refused to go with his grandparents' to church, he would spend long periods staring at his grandfather's hunting rifle, he even had gained a phobia of fire from somewhere.When his grandparents could take no more, he was shipped off to Japan to attend Detchitoyo Highschool, suggested by one of the officials who helped cover up the bank robbery incident. He has boarded there since the age of ten and has held the school title of 'pool table champion' for the past three years, playing pool seems to be the only thing which makes him genuinely happy. He was also given an exquisite Heckler & Koch MP5K by an unknown benefactor, which noone has found out about yet fortunately, he manages to occupy long hours maintaining the weapon and keeping it in immaculate condition.</blockquote>
