Rentommen (Tom) Highpike is a player character in Campaign 2 played by Adam. He is a human wizard. Character sheet is available here.
== Early Life ==
Tom was by all accounts a reader. He read all manners of stories, usually sticking to the fiction sections of the library. He eventually settled down in a nice township outside of the big cities with a good woman, named Karen. He had it all, a nice home with a picket fence, a dog, and eventually a son, who they named Ralston Highpike. Things were great! 
Well, at least they looked that way from the outside. Inside the home, Tom could not be bothered to really pay good attention to his wife, usually being too absorbed with his books. Well, eventually, there was a breaking point. And Karen was fed up. She has needs you know! Well, one night, she stole away into the night, leaving both Tom and young 5-year-old Ralston behind. While most people would find despair and depression in such an event, poor misguided Tom found an opportunity. His mind warped by all the stories and fiction novels he read, made him see a chance to give his son a life of glory and adventure.
== Departure ==
Seeing as most famous adventurers had tragically lost their parents, the loss of Karen was just too easy. So, Tom faked his own death! He made sure to do it before Ralston, so he could be truly traumatized by the event, and hopefully help send him forward to a life of destiny! 
After, Tom ran off and found a new life. Traveling and work odd jobs over the 13 years since his 'death'. Tom found himself joining a lovely co op, ran by a filborg named Tovarish. Over his 6 years at the UFFR, Tom began to learn a strong sense of community that really opened his eyes. And yet,Tom feels the pangs of regret. During his time at the UFFR he began to have access to all sorts of books, and he began to dabble in the non-fiction section. Learning about philosophy, psychology, sociology, and of course some magic.
== To Adventure! ==
Well turns out, most kids who lose their parents DON'T end up as famous adventurers, WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN?? Not to mention, the trauma alone can really f**k a person up. Now, Tom wants to try to find his son, somewhere in the world, and to make up for lost time. So, Tom has began studying more science and magic, hoping to find a way to find Ralston, and to help him with all his homework once they are finally re-united! He joins his friend Tovarish to help with the co-ops operation in Waterdeep, hoping uncover whatever is causing the trouble, and if anyone has heard or seen his son.
