Name: Hawk
Are you 18 or over?: Yes
Other characters played: n/a
CHARACTER
Name: Thomas Hawkins (with special guest star Alice Silverman)
Canon: Original (Tarnishedverse)
Age: claims he's about 2,013 years old, but he's actually closer to 12,500.
History: Once upon a time, there were two gods, an ice dragon and a fire dragon. They were husband and wife and loved each other greatly, but the two of them disagreed on how to deal with humanity. The fire dragon wanted to tightly control their progress to the point of a deity dictatorship while the ice dragon wanted to let humanity progress naturally with them only steppping in to make sure they don't destroy each other. They were at a stalemate until the ice dragon finally decided to do something to knock some sense into her husband and get him to realize that his way was kinda terrible for everyone involved. So she took two of their dragon children and turned them into cannibalistic beasts that attacked their father and other siblings. The fire dragon reacted in an unexpected manner to this: he confronted his wife and ripped out her soul. When her soul was removed, it shattered in half and the fire dragon was only able to keep a hold of the one half of it.
The other half of her soul created a host for itself, the first angel Thomas Hawkins. It was from the energy of his creation that all other angels were created, beings of emotion with only half of a soul. For the first fifty years of their existence, they were monsters, unable to control their powerful emotions and spread across the world, attacking anything that was stupid enough to stand against them. Then they finally were able to pull in their emotions and control themselves, making strong personalities to keep themselves from losing control once again. There was one angel who didn't though. Because of the difference between himself and the others, Thomas was still a mindless monster and couldn't get control of himself. The other angels decided to capture their oldest brother and lock him up in a hole underground until he could control himself. What they ended up doing was pretty much leave him to rot and hope everything sorted itself out. Of all the angels, only one of them would visit Thomas during his imprisonment: his twin brother Shaw, the angel of joy. It was with Shaw's help that Thomas finally gained control of himself
Point in canon: Spring 2012, after he's been abducted by a cult
Window Location: In a fairy ring located in a northern Wisconsin forest
Universe: What would happen universe was created by two scientists and they were somehow dragged into it and woven into the very fabric of spacetime of that new universe?
They would make themselves gods, attempt to create Earth into a better place than their old one, and end up making a hot mess of things when one of them decides to be a dick about godhood when trying to make humanity into what he wants it to be and tries killing his fellow deity because she tried to stop him in the worst possible way.
Because of the Creator (the dickish god) trying to play Barbie with the world, the British Empire survives past World War II at nearly full strength, supernatural and mythological creatures exist, and the United States was never colonized by the British thanks to the intervention of the gods and a small army of mentally unstable fairies helping out the native population with the whole not dying of disease thing and not having better weapons. And the United States now speaks French, calls itself the United Nations of North America, and is isolationist to the point that their technology is on a completely different level from the rest of the world.
Let's also not forget that the apocalypse has nearly happened at least once, a crazy cult has sprung up to try bringing back to life the second god, and that god's children are trying to cockblock the Creator and his children from causing even more damage to the world than they already have. Oh and there are organizations that exist across the world to either keep humanity safe from the non-humans or just outright slaughter the non-humans because lol what is living peacefully with each other humanity is superior to you freaks.
Abilities:
Possessions:
Personality: Thomas is quite a strange creature. Like the other angels, he is a being of emotion and represents the negative aspects of human emotions. Greed, hatred, lying, murder; you name it, Thomas has it. What makes him so strange is the fact that he can only feel and express these negative emotions.
The majority of whatever positive emotions, such as his maternal instincts and familial closeness stem from the subtle influence Alice's soul has had on him while he has been her host. It's because of this that Thomas stays close to the angels that have shunned him for being a monster compared to them, though he is not nearly as close to them as he is to his twin, the only one of his siblings who has never treated him as someone to be afraid of nor has ever abandoned him.

DÆMON
Name: Senka
Sex: Female
Form: Golden Jackal/Gyrfalcon griffin
Additional notes:
Why this form: The golden jackal half is meant to represent Benjamin Chamberlain, the other "missing" half of Thomas' soul, and Thomas himself. Both halves are closely associated with death and the afterlife as they are the the gatekeeper and ruler of the afterlife itself, not to mention the fact that Benjamin was a werejackal during his punishment. Jackals have been used to represent loneliness and abandonment, something that Thomas has lived with for most of his life. They also tend to either stay in small packs or go alone, which is a mirror to how Thomas only got close to a rare few during his long life and tends to be a loner when he has the chance to be. Golden Jackals are oddly enough from a different branch of canids than the other jackals, which works for Thomas in that on the surface, he seems like the rest of his angelic siblings, but in actuality is something quite different from them.

Thomas Hawkins (Samael) 
In-Story Stats
Header Type #2
Background Pre-series A first generation angel and the first angel of all, Thomas was created when Nate Silverman tried killing his wife, Alice Silverman née Hawkins. Instead of killing her (as he was unable to), Nate instead split her soul in two: her dragon half with all her powers was passed down the Faolan family to be protected while her human half with all of her personality was presumed destroyed when in actuality, it was fused with Nate's negative emotions and became Thomas. His creation would be the spark that created the angel species. Originally nothing but a group of mindless beings who lived purely by instinct and emotion, the angels attacked any human that crossed their path. After ten years of this, nearly all of the angels were able to create stable personalities that controlled their overwhelming emotions and instinct. The only exception to this rule was Thomas, who took another decade to stabilize his personality enough to control his overwhelmingly negative emotions. During that extra decade, Thomas was locked up by his younger siblings and kept away from the world while he stabilized. Only his twin brother would take care of him, as the other angels Once all of the angels gained stable personalities, they created the Council, a group of twelve angels who would create laws all angels would abide by. One of these rules was their family name. Knowing that Alice had something to do with it, they all took her maiden name, Hawkins, as their own and use it as an act of defiance against Nate and the Silverman brood. When the rules were finally decided on, the angels dispersed to different parts of the world to keep an eye on the humans and protect them from Nate's twin children, who had been unleashed upon the world as the first vampire and therianthrope. Thomas, not wanting to play a part in the fight against the dragons and their siblings, instead became a wanderer and a sort of storyteller, learning about the world and its people. He was content to do this for eternity, but he was eventually sucked into the vampire war that swept across Europe. Led by Nate's vampire son Arkadiy, the war was brutal and violent, something Thomas enjoyed more than he would ever let on. He would join the forces against Arkadiy knowing full well that his side was going to lose. Thanks to his abilities, Thomas would survive to fight another day and became sort of a legend to the vampires. Everytime a war would pop up in Europe, Thomas was one of the soldiers, murdering scores of people in a psychotic assault that would end as abruptly as it started, having to leave the battlefield due to the angels linking him to the attacks. They would never find any concrete proof that it was him, but Thomas was assigned an angel that watched him, who happened to be the first angel created after both him and his twin, Adam Hawkins, the Angel of Desire. After an incident where both were captured by vampires and saved each other to escape alive, they started to respect each other and Adam allowed Thomas to continue his killing spree while sending in falsified reports to the Council that Thomas was not behind them. Eventually, Thomas and Adam would make their way to the New World after hearing of dragons helping the natives fight off the colonists. Thomas would fight on either side as a mercenary while Adam would return to the Council and tell them that it was not Thomas, but instead a shapeshifter in his guise doing the killings. While Adam was away dealing with the Council, Thomas found himself captured by the fae, beings of magic that fell under the Plant Elemental David Silverman's realm. Realizing that Thomas was an angel straight from the Creator himself, they freed him and allowed him to work with their paladins, fae without empathy who were made that way for war. He was their moral compass, being forced not to be the monster he usually was to keep control of an army of monsters. Adam returned during his time as the morality of the paladins and assisted him, having far more knowledge of being a good person than Thomas ever did. Once the fae and the Americans successfully repelled the English and Spanish explorers and colonists, the two angels were formally adopted by the fae and allowed to stay as diplomats to the Europeans who had interest in their land. To the humans, Thomas and Adam were fae and were treated as such, with respect and fear thanks to the vicious paladins. They were crucial in the building of a unified government between the tribes, nations, and bands of North America. This country would be made up of where the continental United States is in our universe, as the English would get a foothold in the north, gaining Canada, while the Spanish took the south, gaining Mexico. With the help of the French, the country gained an "official" language and a European ally. Thomas and Adam would be crucial in making sure the alliance would stick as well as keep the individual tribes from fighting among each other. This work as government officials would continue until 1902 when the Last Line of Defense came into being. Thomas would be the only one of him and Adam to work there at first, being the shadowy leader of Internal Affairs up until the mid-1920's where he became head of Personnel. In 1940, Thomas would be transferred to the Field Unit Investigation department as an agent, along with newly minted agent Justin Glascow. After the declaration of war on Japan and the entrance into World War II, Thomas, Justin and newly appointed archivist Adam were sent to Europe over strange rumors that Nazi Germany were kidnapping male angels and forcing them to have children with human women. During this investigation in 1943, the three of them were attacked by Nazi troops and Adam was separated from the other two, getting captured and sent to one of the breeding sites where he would be forced to impregnate women to create nephilim, angel/human hybrids. Unable to escape, Adam was imprisoned for a year before Thomas got the go ahead to basically break in and save his brother. He would return with Adam and one woman pregnant with Adam's child. During Adam's imprisonment, Thomas had started a relationship with Justin and upon learning that the young woman wanted to give her child away, the two of them decided to adopt the child. Born in 1944, the child would a girl that was named Charlotte Glascow by Thomas and Justin. Thomas retired as an agent and moved back to Internal Affairs so he could raise his adopted daughter. In 1945, Justin would become Director of the Last Line of Defense and Thomas stayed by his side, using his shapeshifting abilities to be his wife. Thomas stayed in the shadows and raised his daughter, not letting her know she was a nephilim until she was in her twenties, mostly because she had activated Glory mode while on assignment for the LLD. While angry at Thomas for not telling her sooner, she ended up using her abilities to help with her job. This ended up causing Thomas to seek out other nephilim and found that one of them was being raised by Nate Silverman. He also found that a number of children were unaccounted for, missing since Allied forces raided the breeding camps. Using his LLD resources and a number of other connections, he uncovered a threat of nephilim raised to hate humanity and used agents Dominic DeSana and Jane Seymour to help him learn of this new threat, but both were butchered by the nephilim. With this and the information gathered, Thomas took the case to the Director and started a war that would last for years. In 1998, Thomas would stumble across Cyril Faulkner, a former fae paladin with his emotions still missing and the Director of Public Relations. Learning that Cyril was the first paladin and that David himself had stolen his emotions, Thomas promised the fae that he'd return his emotions to him and eventually became good friends with him thanks to the lack of emotion and Thomas' own emotional issues due to his creation. top 2001 Arc Caption for this image. Charlotte, who was working a case with the Order liaison Tristan Williams, came to him asking for information on a young German immigrant who had been found at the scene of an explosion. Using his contacts, he found out the girl was from 1912 and was from New Amsterdam. Later, he would speak to Charlotte about Justin's declining health and how she should make time to go visit him before he gets too ill. Thanking her adopted father for the information, she left with Tristan without a word about her other father. Thomas would later be called up to perform the LLD's form of witness protection on Tristan Williams. Transferring his soul to a new body, Thomas gave him a job working in Archives for Adam. When asked about how Thomas was able to pull that off, he merely said he had contacts and left Tristan to his new life. top 2005 Arc While Thomas spearheaded the war against the anti-human nephilim, he is unusually absent from this arc. This is because Justin Glascow finally succumbed to old age and illness, dying just before the arc started and Thomas was in mourning. Charlotte mentions Thomas to the leaders of the Last Line of Defense, Her Majesty's Huntsmen, and the Demon Corps. as the man who started the search for the nephilim and uncovering the missing ones. He's later brought up in conversation by Adam and Cyril, who speak of Thomas as the man nobody truly knows and that it is fitting due to his directorship of Internal Affairs.top 2012 Arc Somehow, before the arc, Thomas was kidnapped by a cult wanting to resurrect Alice Silverman and the half of her soul removed and placed into Mia Hawkins, a second-generation angel who had the special ability of being an empath. Upon awakening before Alice, it was found out that he had no memory of who he was nor did he have any of the memories of Nate Silverman. Using this to her advantage, Alice manipulated Thomas into believing that he was her son and telling him that his true name was Samael. She also made him believe that his friends, family, and allies were all enemies that he had to destroy and that he was the loyal agent of Alice. Releasing him into the world, Thomas was found by Shaw, and was taken back to LLD headquarters where he underwent tests to find that half of his soul was missing. Seeing Tala Faolan, he mistook her for Alice and treated her as such. Shaw, who figured out what might have happened, brought Thomas in front of the Council, where he went on a rampage and tried to kill the sitting members on the Council. While Thomas had them busy with that, Tala was taken by Alice's soldiers and had her body and the dragon half of her soul forcibly removed. Tala's soul found itself drawn to Thomas and connected itself to him, telling him the truth about Alice and figuring that Thomas' memories were suppressed due to the trauma of losing half of his soul. Bringing the dragons in, Thomas and Tala told them what Alice was planning and asked for a way to bring back his memories. Benjamin Chamberlain stepped up and used his powers to force Thomas into a comalike state where he would have to fight for the return of his memories. With both Benjamin and Thomas out of the fight, Nate took charge and led both the angels and dragons into war against Alice that lasted for eight months with neither side gaining the upper hand. Once Thomas woke up with regained memories, he learned that both angels and dragons were incomplete beings and that the only way they would become complete was for them to fuse together into one being. This came with a terrible downside, as one of the beings would be suppressed and technically no longer exist. Knowing this horrible truth, Thomas knew the only way to stop Alice was to do so and he fused with the dragon he was supposed to fuse with: Benjamin Franklin Chamberlain, the Elemental of Light. As he did that, all other dragons and angels fused with their other self, cutting the number of angels and dragons down to ten. Of all the angels, Thomas was the only one who survived intact as Benjamin never wanted to live forever and gave control to Thomas willingly, asking him to save Tala from Alice before he disappeared for good. Now a complete being with elemental abilities and his own angel powers, Thomas made his way to the battlefield where he faced Alice herself. Using his new abilities and the knowledge of two thousands of years old beings in his body, he was able to finally defeat Alice and pull her soul out of Mia's body, allowing her to fuse with Tala's body and soul to become a complete being with Alice's personality destroyed for good. Unknowingly at first, Thomas absorbed Mia's special ability which made him an empath. With Alice gone for good, Mia in a coma, and the angelic dragons dealing with their new fused forms, Thomas disappeared from the world stage to be with Cyril, using Benjamin's name to run the LLD as its new Director while the humans learned of the supernatural and magical beings that inhabited their world with them. Abilities Thanks to being an angel and later fusing with a dragon, Thomas has a number of abilities, some which he has control over and others that he cannot. Like every angel, he has his own special ability and since the fight with Alice Silverman while she was in Mia Hawkins' body, he has gained a second that keeps him alive much easier than his original angelic body.
Side Story- From the Archives of the Last Line of Defense, Department Seven: 1932-1976 Unlike the other Tarnishedverse characters, Thomas has a side story dedicated to him and a new band of characters as they work for the LLD's Department Seven and fight rogue supernatural beings who wish to harm humans or reveal their existence to them.top |
