Tomáš Krákal

Tomáš Krákal is a main/secondary character of People I Know.

Tomáš is depicted as an annoying, hypocritical, unintelligent classmate of the main cast. Almost all of his actions are motivated with an unhealthy obsession with Klára, which only grows stronger as time goes.

## Biography

Not much is known about Tomáš's origin. It is said by Tomáš in "Car Boy Me Love" that he's had a rough upbringing, although this is most likely a false claim by Tomáš in his poet persona in order to appear more deep.

This uncertainty of Tomáš's past is even more fueled by the fact that none of Tomáš's parents were ever shown on the show. While his house including the interrior of the flat in which Tomáš lives has been well-documented throughout the series, Tomáš was always the only actual inhabitant in it. We do know however what Tomáš's young sister looks like, as she is shown on portraits inside the house.

It doesn't mean that his parent's aren't living with him though, as they are frequently mentioned by either Tomáš or other characters.

## Personality

Almost everything, that Tomáš does, is driven by what starts as a crush on Klára, but slowly turns into an obsessive mania. On a fundamental level, Tomáš is a good person. This is shown in episodes such as "Night of the Herbary", where tries to save Martin from under a tree, despite having no personal gain from it and losing the chance to be close to Klára.

When we dig deeper though, we can see that his morality is flawed. Firstly, he wants to break Klára's current relationship with Andrej, so he can have her for himself. This can be seen as early as the pilot episode, where he tries to take Klára on a date, despite knowing, that she already has a boyfriend. Even though in "Worldwide Barbecue" he goes into great lengths in order to fix their relationship and stop Klára from being sad, he only does so because her mood prevents him from picking her up (at least that's what he thinks).

Him having a strong interest in Klára doesn't mean that he doesn't have any hobbies at all. He's an avid videogame player, which sometimes even seems stronger than his actions towards Klára. In "Simulation Comedy" when he's the only one to own a new gaming console Hoculus Poculus Drift, he initially tries to use this fact to make Klára admire him, but after it fails, he doesn't mind that at all and concentrates on the console again.

Tomáš has incredible low social intelligence. This is supported by the fact that he still thinks that he has a strong chance with Klára, although she's been dropping hints and directly stating otherwise. He also thinks that he's much better in every quality than he actually is. He's been shown to desperately try to belong somewhere, joining clubs such as the newspaper one, without actually wanting to be in them.

## Relationships

### Klára Vršková

Tomáš's relationship with Klára is arguebly the strongest one. In the beginning of the series, he was just shown daydreaming about her and having problems starting up a conversation with her. As the show went on, he started making up delicate plans about winning her without being secretive about them. Klára also went from engaging in small talk with him happily through being shocked by his actions to being utterly annoyed by his behavior. In "W.E.E.D.", Tomáš, after getting high on marijuana, asks Klára about the condition under which them two could be dating and Klára actually gives him a clear answer (although Tomáš, due to his state, can't remember any of it). This means, that there is an actual opportunity for him, albeit very small.

### Vašek, Honza and Martin

Tomáš has a rather strong relationship with the main group. Despite not being a part of it, he sometimes joins the guys when they're doing something or having a conversation on the hallway, especially in the later seasons. The guys don't seem to ostracize him as much as the rest of the class and often try to help him with his problems, but Tomáš gets angry with them whenever his ego is hurt.

### Andrej

As Tomáš wants to date Klára, he considers Andrej the main obstacle and hates him with all of his might. Initially, Andrej has no idea who Tomáš is. Around mid-Season 2, Andrej starts to realize who he is and what his plans with Klára are, often forcing him to intervene.

### Tadeáš

Tadeáš is Tomáš's main nemesis (not counting Andrej). Tadeáš constantly makes fun of Tomáš and despises him. At times, Tomáš and Tadeáš are shown being friends, this might be because both of them are outcasts.
