**Hezekiah**, more commonly known as **Thomas**, is the supreme, unchallenged Sovereign dictator of the Bird Empire. He is an incredibly powerful human from the DK universe and a prominent member of the Hivemind and the Anor Londo Board of Tourism.

## History

### Origins

Little is known of Tom's origin. During the warring states period of the DK universe he conquered all the available countries that were not under the control of the Lich Kingdom or the free states protected by Josh. He unified his territory into a powerful state that venerated Birds and Doujins. At some point during his reign, he eloped with Anthony and established him as the President of the Virgin Islands

### The Hivemind War

Tom's Bird Empire would come to blows with the Lich Kingdom founded by the Dark Lord and Lich King Trevor who brought untold horror and devastation onto the great lands of De-Kadia. Tom sought an alliance with the Machine Paladin, Josh who was protecting the Human Free States to take down the Dark Lord. Despite the team-up, the war came to a standstill, forcing the 3 powers into a psychic duel. This act would later result in the Hivemind, forcing a truce between them.

### The Hivemind

Thomas started rebuilding his empire after the great war and formed an alliance with the Lich King. The two used their powers to come the Multiverse for sources of power for mutual benefit. As a result, along with Josh, the three became observers of the Multiverse. Thomas brought Anthony into the fold some time after the group's formation. However after Anthony's defection, he spends a large amount of his time trying to recapture Anthony and fix their marriage.

### Yamaku Academy

Yamaku Academy was established by Thomas and Trevor to have a ready supply of disposable student body ready for experimentation. Though only a front to this end, the academy itself does fully perform its public facing mission statement of creating a well equipped and supportive environment for disabled students. Most of the basement sub levels have been hollowed out and fitted with lab equipment suitable for biology experiments especially gene sequencing/editing as well as soul sequencing/editing. Thomas and Trevor established themselves as the only members of the academy's school board and they installed Dirty Lyle as it's Dean so they could keep him close and any students of interest closer.

### Anor Londo Board of Tourism

While Trevor used Thomas as a standard to establish Yamaku Academy, Thomas set about building a financial back to the Hivemind while also bolstering his own propaganda mill for his empire. He manages the Anor Londo Board of Tourism in its current form with help from Trevor.

### Hakamichi Clan

With Lilly's presence in De-Kadia becoming problematic for everyone not named Josh, Anthony, or Gay Aizen, Trevor enlists the help of Thomas to find more information that would help square her away and potentially get rid of her. Together, they make a house call to the apartment of Akira Satou, Lilly's sister in hopes that she would have information. Lilly had the foresight and resources to set up Akira and Hideaki with security detail to the tune of several dozen snipers and bodyguards trained on the building. Due to Pacific•Atlantic's direction warping effects, no interruptions would make it to them.

They knocked politely and the door was answered by Akira's at the time boyfriend, who when questioned, denied Akira's presence. He attempted to slam the door but a little magic from Thomas and Trevor ensured that he'd locked himself out while granting them access. Akira put up no fight as she lacked any of Lilly's strength but divulged no information. Trevor spirited her away for his own schemes and interrogation. Meanwhile, Thomas, who after raiding the fridge found Hideaki who was also holed up in the apartment. Thomas took him under his wing to give him some training, first out of curiosity of what he's capable of, then to see how far he can take him, much like what he did with Eric years prior.

### Endgame

After the prophecy of the 2020 Scratch, most residents of De-Kadia have shifted into preservation mode. Thomas has been spending increasingly longer amounts of time in the necropolis underneath Yamaku Academy. His experiments started coming to fruition concerning his gene editing and grafting experiments. Thomas has engraved a copy of his current state into Eric Withakay; who, still in the crystal, has been powering all the experimentation and has been subject to some experiments himself.

With Eric containing a backup that will force override Thomas the next time he comes in contact with the crystal, Eric is jettisoned through the Katawa-Doki escape portal that he'd been powering with Thomas on the De-Kadian side. Jettisoned alongside Eric was Thomas' entire collection of notebooks which contained every scientific breakthrough and stray thought that he'd ever had. Since Eric was both powering and stabilizing the portal, it broke down as both artifacts entered and their coordinates were scrambled to somewhere in the multiverse. With all loose ends taken care of, Thomas awaits the end of the world.

## Powers and Abilities

Thomas is the strongest human in the DK universe as well as a Stand User and a Soul Reaper. As such, he stands as an equal and rival to the Lich King and the Machine Paladin. Thomas was easily able to conquer several nations and with no military, unify them into a world superpower.

### Traits

* Superhuman Strength
* Superhuman Speed
* Superhuman Durability
* Superhuman Lifespan
* Tactical Ingenuity

### Kekkei Genkai

Thomas possesses a Kekkei Genkai that allows him to effortlessly control gravel. While seeming to be a nature transformation like other similar Ninja Kekkei Genkai, his seems to actually be based on a link to a plain of existence called the Gravel Dimension. Thomas can use the Gravel Dimension to travel great distances, hide in plain sight, drag unwilling victims into the gravel and trap them for all eternity, and hide various traps, weapons, and reinforcements.

### Soul Reaper

Thomas is a fully fledged Soul reaper. As such he has access to many of their abilities such as:

* **Reiryoku:** The ability to perceive Reishi despite being made of Kishi as well as the ability to exert one's own spiritual pressure and the detect the Reiryoku of others.
* **Flash Step:** The ability to shunt short distances but at incredible speeds. Thomas has the ability to flash step fast enough to create after images that can fool opponents unable to perceive such speeds.
* **Kido Spells:** Thomas has a master level understanding of Kido and focuses on Bakudo, the sealing arts. He is capable of performing Hado but rarely relies on all but the highest levels, preferring his other abilities. While he has mastery of Kaido as well, he has never displayed using it on himself or allies.

Thomas has also gained access to both a Shikai and Bankai.

### Shikai

Thomas' Zanpakuto is a constant release type that manifests as a sock full of Nickels. It has no known name. The Sock is a pure melee type and is capable of creating far greater than normal blunt force damage to any target, even the incorporeal

### Bankai

While unknown still to the rest of the Hivemind due to his secrecy, Thomas' Bankai was revealed to be a Coinstar coin-cashing machine. Though the mass and heft have been scaled up immensely, it still retains the ease of use that the Sock full of Nickels had.

### Stand

「Ｐａｃｉｆｉｃ•Ａｔｌａｎｔｉｃ」

* Power: -
* Speed: -
* Range: A
* Durability: C
* Precision: A
* Potential: C

Pacific•Atlantic takes the form of a metal compass wristband with incorrectly labeled compass directions that do not indicate normal compass directions. The ability of the Stand can re-orientate any compass direction at will and at any time, scrambling movement and navigation almost irreparably. Only those with no sense of direction, or have a knowledge of how to unwind the changes in direction can navigate in a space affected by Thomas. This ability is always active and Thomas must actively stop himself from using the power if he wants stable movement of troops. Additionally, Thomas can select individuals to remain unaffected by his stand..

### Snow Miser

Thomas was his universe's totem for a primordial ice spirit, the Snow Miser. Due to this, he had access to powerful ice magics that can render most mundane materials down into ice or snow on touch and can reconstitute them later from any snow. The range was limited but the effects were powerful. It also gave the user complete immunity to ill effects of low temperatures all the way down to Absolute Zero. Minor Ice Sprites flock to the current Snow Miser totem for the user to command. Additionally imbued the user with proficiency in show tunes.
