Thomas

The human protagonist of the  Planet Chromos series. Though initially doubted by many, Thomas would not let the other voices stop him from taking A Dragon’s Challenge.

Appearance
Thomas is an average human male that has a skinny build but with slightly toned muscles. To prevent hypothermia, Thomas wears a leather coat that was given to him by a village elder. Underneath the leather coat, Thomas wears a padded leather vest for extra protection and a linen tunic below that. Occasionally when the temperature dips below zero, he will wear a woollen scarf and a gloves to cope with the colder temperature. Due to living in the wilderness and is ostracised from civilisation, he has grown thick, long hair.

He usually wields his weapon of choice, a staff made out of redwood - that he made himself out of redwood sticks and rocks on the ground. During his time in Vernica, he had access to a wide array of natural substances which he can use to make potions with; these potions are stored in a glass flask, sealed and tied to Thomas' belt. Other items such as maps, safety goggles and lighter can also be tied to the belt for storage.

Personality
At first glance, Thomas may seem introverted and he does prefer the solitude half of the time. But, he is not afraid of socialising with others. His more mindful and quiet side came from past traumas between his parents, frequent arguments between them at their home about being poor and just for the sake of arguing. Although he had got used to it and not let the past define who he is today, it still comes back and haunts him sometimes. Thomas has always wanted to look for ways to make a difference and help the village where he grew up in a better place. He also strives to be the village chief just like his adoptive father, who is also the elder of the village. That's why he decided to take on the Dragon's Challenge to claim the artefact to protect his village, after hearing about the powerful magical properties it has.

Powers and Abilities
For an average human, Thomas has a higher intelligence than the other humans his age in his village. Not only that, Tom had been trained by the village elder, Titus. Titus, as the chief had successfully defended the village from several dragon skirmishes and make negotiations with their Majesty Victory-Strike (Ruler of the Triple-Slasher). As well as potion making and how to find and prepare ingredients for said potions. So, Titus had taught some of that knowledge and experience to Thomas.

Remarkably, Thomas had also shown some above-average agility and reflexes; for example, he was able to dodge and outrun a vicious Bituminis in a fight.

Weaknesses
Being a human teenager, his stamina, strength and etc. still pales in comparison compared to dragons and other creatures of Planet Chromos. Large dragons such as Triple-Slashers, will have no problem defeating Thomas with one stomp.

Fighting Style
Thomas prefers the fighting style based on Wing Chun, which involves close combat and quick punches to defeat the opponents.
