Milliways Dossier: Tommy Gavin

[herr_bookman]

History

• FDNY Firefighter
  
• Puts away cigarettes when someone complains - ha!
  
• "I'm a fireman, kid. I eat smoke for a living."
  
• Knows Mia, Rabastan, Lohengrin - oh double carthaginian hell

Impressions

• Threat Level: EXTREME - Physically imposing, terrible temper, lack of control over his emotions
  
• Swears, sarcastic, smug as hell
  
• "You are fuckin' weird, kid." - hee! I still laugh at this
  
• Has absolutely no appreciation for the arts, academia
  
• Easy to sway his mood, and even easier to grab his attention, ha
  
• "Royalty is noble. A horse is noble. Me? Ain't nothin' remotely 'noble' about me."
  
• Very, very good at his job - good for him
  
• Taught me the word "cool" and other fire-fighting slang: "cockloft"
  
• Bristles under any authority except his own and people he respects
  
• "Jeezus Christ, kid. I ain't gonna hit you... At least not until you've turned eighteen." - hahaha! Shiva wept
  
• Fearless, compartmentalizes?
  
• Angry, cavalier, explosive - regretful
  
• Burying 'stuff' under his bravado
  
• Puts himself at risk to save others, but also because he doesn't value himself?
  
• Deceased cousin, close-knit, inspired Tommy to join the Fire Academy
  
• Likely fiercely loyal to those he likes, feels betrayals deeply - and guilt over his own (which I assume exist)?
  
• Ice hockey
  
• Drinker? - wouldn't surprise me

Weaknesses

• Gobs and gobs of them:
  
• Temper
  
• Disregard for his own life
  
• Failures re: connections with people, and exploitable guilt
  
• Not particularly happy with many things; few ties, but tightly wound

Scabs

• None for now. He'll probably strike me next time

Opportunities

• If I can direct his anger, he could prove very useful, but he is an unstable powder keg
