Thomas Midway

Thomas Midway was a middle class Natogytt brawler and tournament fighter, a biological 2nd cousin of Spitzer Taigo and the firstborn son of Waylay Midway. He was one of four Natogytts who survived a Basaran rebel bombing of a hotel on Shrine in 12,499. Thomas Midway is an arrogant, often overconfident and brutal individual he is manipulative and somewhat sadistic, mocking and toying with his opponents who are far below his abilities before defeating them.

## Early Life: Academy Days

Thomas Midway however is no coward, despite toying with the weak, he challenges strong opponents and has even killed a bully who attempted to toy with him during Midway's academy days. Midway however had allowed the bully and his friends to pick on him continuously without resistance as a ploy so when the eventual aftermath occurred, there'd be witnesses to support Midway's story, and they did, the PMs allowed Midway to go free but was kicked out of the academy in 12,506.

## Early Life: The 28th PMFT

Thomas Midway in 12,507 would register for the 28th PMFT simply due to boredom, having crushed most street brawlers, criminals and gangsters in his area. Hoping for a real challenge he looks up the previous champion Bentli Wulve and calls him out prior to the beginning of the Tournament to fight him personally, this callout falls on deaf ears and after a few days the tournament begins.

Thomas Midway fights against Dr.Garobe a self proclaimed "Warrior-scientist" in the first round of the preliminaries, Garobe while seemingly weak, unleashes powerful lightning attacks that catch Midway off guard, however Midway kicks Garobe knocking him out of the ring and winning in the 17 minute battle. later he watches Bei Sunnian Warrior Ategev crushed by Lazulon. Midway analyzes the movements and abilities, and copies them in his training regiment, if he's unable to copy a certain elemental shirienkai ability he'll simply come up with a close analogue from another element, in rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5 Midway tears through his opponents with ease.

In the first qualifiying rounds (Round 6) Midway begins battle with the brother of the person he defeated in round 4, initially believing he'll be just as easy as his brother to defeat, Midway faces an equal fight, going full power, each one using every attack in their arsenal, Midway however still has a slight advantage in having no "honor code" that his opponent has, however his opponent can slowly regenerate over time, after being hit with a Psi Bolt Volley, Midway reveals his Enhanced Psi Shield move to mitigate some of the damage. The battle is a draw, however Midway's opponent decides to surrender as he gets the news that his brother is dealing with complications in the restoration center.

The next match or begins a couple days later as Thomas Midway goes up against Stentor, Stentor proclaims his own perfection and that he'll win the tournament, Midway avoids Stentor's biological attacks, however as Stentor continues to read Midway's moves, Midway begins taking hits and takes more and more damage, Midway begins to grow concerned that he may lose the battle, Midway uses various powerful attacks that do surprise Stentor catching him off guard and doing some damage, however when the dust settles, Stentor attacks from behind, wrapping Midway with his tail before tossing him out of the ring, Midway's pride at least for a time was killed in this battle.

## The 29th PMFT

### Before the Tournament

After his humiliating defeat, Thomas was met by Bentli Wulve after his own victory and reprimanded the young Natogytt for his arrogance, Wulve tells him to change his attitude, before walking away. Thomas Midway takes this to heart and spends the next seventeen Weeks training deep in the forests of Siebzehn on the "Dark continent" of Shrine. There Midway fought all sorts of rare and dangerous creatures, Poachers, Small Basaran Rebel cells and the dangerous Woodland Kraigon.

### Round 11 Thomas Midway vs Ilvar

Midway seems to just be standing there, Ilvar cautiously moves to attack but is kicked in the back of the head by midway, who had used a Hallucination and realizes that Ilvar's weakness is perception based attacks, he tries it again but Ilvar sees through it, however Midway is another step ahead and seemingly launches a photonic attack while lunging at him, however its another ruse as Midway trips him with his tail from behind, Ilvar quickly gets up and the two have an exchange over what they plan to do after the tournament as they exhcange blows, Midway simply wants to have fun and gain more and more power, while Ilvar states he's after something greater, hoping to prove to the galaxy that the Zarnian race is worth respecting,

Midway states how noble it is, but mocks him for worrying about what others think of him or his species before he activates his Psi shield quickly bouncing off a photonic attack from Ilvar, which explodes part of the waterfall arena causing Ilvar to fall and lose the match.
