Tomb Wakefeld

Personality:
Tomb is a quiet and reserved person most of the time. When interacting with new people he can often seem not at ease or disturbed, not because that person is doing something wrong, it relates more to his introverted nature. When with friends he tries to put a smile on their faces, he makes jokes and talks to them when he feels he has something worth saying. He can tell when his friends are sad and goes to any lengths he can to try and cheer them up, whether is be using humour and jokes or supporting them through listening to them when they vent and being there for them emotionally. During times of tragedy Tomb tries to appear strong and unaffected, although he isn’t the best at hiding it. His friends come first to him, he waits to show signs of weakness once he is certain he is alone. Tomb by default is bleak in nature, it takes a bit of effort to make him smile, once he finally does, he’ll keep that smile for the rest of the day. He often needs cheering up but never tells anyone that he does.

Story:
Childhood:
Tomb is the firstborn son of Hector Wakefeld and Sabrina Reed. Tomb had a very odd relationship with his parents throughout his life. His father, Hector Wakefeld, felt that he should be a better version of himself and pressured Tomb into doing things he never wanted. Hector was often negligent with him as a child and managed to somehow break his leg with a football (accidentally of course). Tomb eventually developed a grudge against both of his parents, he strived to be more independent even as a child. His family was friends with the Tenacity family since before he was born, he became good friends with Fido Tenacity, who was the same age as he was. Tomb met Fido's new sister years later during his third year of school, his sister being Spook Somnium. Spook was another fast friend made by Tomb. Due to the nature of his parents who constantly fought and argued, Tomb often felt saddened and lonely. He'd go out often with his friends who meant the world to him.


Teenage Years:
As a teenager, Tomb would get hired and fired from jobs frequently. He had a tendency to skip work if ever and whenever he was needed by his friends, whether it be for emotional support or just for a night of fun. He wouldn't tell them he was skipping of course, leaving them to only wonder why he got fired so frequently. While he desperately wanted to join Spook and Fido in working at the Tenacity's diner, he felt as though he would be intruding on their family business and he feared that he would be left out often. Tomb had no idea what he wanted out of his future, thinking of it stressed him greatly and he thought of it often. Tomb had many feelings he didn't understand, especially his feelings regarding Spook. He wanted to ask her out but he always feared that making a move would ruin their friendship, or worse. He never tried to do what he considered overstepping his boundaries. His relationship with his parents steadily worsened over time, he spoke with them very sparingly, regardless of the fact that they lived in the same home. It felt like his very young brother, Louis Wakefeld, didn't even exist. He never saw him, and when he did see him it felt like talking to a stranger.


Young Adult (Pre Twisted Reality):
Tomb was desperate to move out from his parent's house, he did so when he reached the age of 18. He moved into the same street as Fido, though he never saw Fido too often during the day anymore. He mostly spent time with Spook, who was equally curious about Fido's whereabouts. The two got closer and closer to one another, though Tomb had absolutely no idea that Spook felt the same way about him that he did about her. Tomb began to pursue a career as an illustrator, he drew regularly as an outlet to express his fears and struggles. Tragedy would strike once Tomb reached the age of 24, Fido Tenacity was found dead in his bed. No witnesses, no motive, no murder weapon, no reason in the world why it should have and did happen. Tomb grieved long and hard for his friend before he was ready to comfort Spook. Eventually, the two grieved together. Spook decided that she would find whoever or whatever killed Fido, a thought that greatly worried Tomb. He unintentionally helped her remember her ability to Dreamleap that she had long forgotten due to her habit of taking dream suppressant on a nightly basis. He would watch over Spook as she slept, not understanding what or why she insisted on doing it.
