*lookscankill!
appearance: Tom stands tall at an even 6 feet and just under 180 lbs. He has a slim build defined by the sinewy muscles he works hard at achieving. A man obsessed with his looks, his deep black hair is always combed back away from his face and rarely will you see a lock out of place. Tom's face is oval shaped with a prominent widows peak that lends to his hawk like features. His nose while long, is narrow and curves slightly down at the tip pulling his eyes inward slightly. His eyes are a smoky hazel bordering more on grey; they are nearly swallowed up by the thick brows that help define the hard set of his gaze. He keeps his nails trimmed and devoid of any dirt and debris but the thick veins and tendons reveal them to be working hands of a man used to labor.
style: Tom cares deeply about how people see him, so when he's working he's always dressed in an expensive suit, shirt and tie. His shoes are always polished just so and always matches his suit. Off work, he's more casual, preferring to wear jeans and a t-shirt, though will never wear anything that looks too lived in or worn. His wardrobe is always color coordinated, as is his closet in general - one of the things he picked up from being in the military.

general personality:As far as appearances goes, Tom seems to be your average divorcee trying make sense of life now that he's single. He appears to be friendly and outgoing and seems to fit in with almost everyone he meets, but there is a side to Tom that he keeps fairly well hidden. Like his father before him, he has a temper that he once struggled to control, but now has no problem lashing out at those who seem to threaten his comfort zone.
He has a problem relinquishing control to others, which is probably why he works best alone. When it comes to his personal life though, Tom comes off as a control freak most of the time. The one person he has trusted without compromise is his now ex-wife. He isn't so sure where they stand now, but he is nothing if not persistent and dedicated to the marriage he vowed to sustain until death do them part. He tends to be obsessive and often times his focus is unrelenting. It's gotten him out of more than one life threatening situation and he's pretty sure that it will now get him what he wants. He tries never to show emotion and those that create a ripple in his well constructed facade are often met with angry and sometimes violent outbursts.

*waybackwhen!
history: Tom grew up in a large military family. His upbringing was strict and his father was a hard man to get a long with. As a teenager, the one thing that he found he was fairly good at that allowed him some time to sort through all the thoughts and challenges that faces a teenage boy that is accustomed to moving around a lot was surfing. He began life guarding on the beaches of southern California as soon as he was old enough. It wasn't long after that when Tom enlisted in the military, following in his father's footsteps. Because of his background, he soared through the ranks and quickly became one of the most highly trained 'extraction' specialists. Along with that ranking came the assignments that most of his counterparts shied away from.[/size][/font]
While on leave, Tom was hanging out on the beach, when he met a girl that instantly took his breath away. Hailee. She was gorgeous and he wasted no time in introducing himself to her. They seemed to hit it off and Tom pursued her with the same dedication and diligence that he did everything in his life. It did not take long for the two of them to be seen together whenever possible. Head over heals in love with her, Tom worshipped the ground she walked on. He was a bundle of nerves when he asked her to marry him, though the setting, the way he did it was all planned to a T. Though he loved her, worshipped her, and would do anything for her, he had not been completely honest with her about what it was he did in the military until after they were married. They had not been married very long when he was sent on what some would call a suicide mission. It did not go as planned and Tom was missing in action for over a year, missing the birth of their daughter.
When he made his way back to her, their relationship took on a completely different turn. Hailee wanted him to turn his back on the military and Tom couldn't imagine just tossing everything he believed in out the window. Even though he was desperate for their marriage to work,Tom took another mission, much against Hailee's obvious objections. The mission didn't really last that long, and Tom had honestly thought that Hailee would still be waiting for him when he returned six weeks later. He was wrong though, and during that time his very angry wife had moved his things out of her house and into an apartment. He also found that she had filed for legal separation and the papers were waiting on his kitchen table when he returned.
Angry that Hailee would toss their marriage aside, Tom lashed out, intent on making Hailee see the error of her way. Instead of making her see that though, he seemed to push her further away and to his complete shock, she filed not only for divorce but also for custody of their daughter. He finds himself feeling very betrayed and he has started thinking that Hailee had never truly gotten over her old flame, Evan Roberts, and had actually just been waiting for a time when the two of them could be together.
He's now out of the military and has been free lancing as a private body guard. He's very efficient in his line of work and has been contemplating opening his own body guard service. His job takes up a lot of his time, and has on more than one occasion had to cancel his weekends with his daughter so he can work. Hailee doesn't seem to understand, but the way he sees it, she chose to divorce him so it's not his problem.
