Personality:
Thomas is a complete and total ham. He loves to be the center of attention and perform for the masses, and is an attention whore. Thomas is a passionate individual in everything he does, from his music, to his friendships. He puts his entire heart into everything, and always gives everything plenty of energy and effort. Thomas is a romantic sap, and tends to be overemotional and extremely overdramatic when it comes to anything. He's by every definition a performer at heart, and is very expressive and is over-exaggerates everything from his gestures to his voice inflections. He's extra. V e r y e x t r a.
He overall, tends to be an understanding, happy individual. However, he can become quite angry within a moment's notice and it's very difficult to calm him back down. He's a bit of a ticking timebomb, leading to some of his mystery and unsettling nature. His apparition will "glitch" and he, unlike most spirits, can change it at will, aiding in his over-the-top theatrics and performances.

Backstory:
Thomas' dream was to play piano professionally and be recognized as a virtuoso. After some accident that nobody knows anything or dares to ask about, Thomas was left blind with no hands, and died a day or so after the incident, his dreams of being a pianist shattered.
After his death, he finds himself in New Orleans, angry and bitter about his lost aspirations. However, Thomas wanders to a safe-haven for lost souls- a tiny little bar in the bayou run by a clairvoyant woman with a big heart. There, he finds a piano and a small crowd that gathers for his songs, singing, and shows. In death, he is able to do what he has always dreamed of.
Thomas is one of the staple spirits at Mrs. Dunn's, known for putting on a great show and pouring alcohol to any wayward spirit that needs it. He grows fond of Lou and Amos after their frequent visits, and is always there to have a pint and joke with.
