Tomu

Tomu is the third prince in line to the throne of a kingdom that doesnt even have a name yet. He isnt very qualified for the position but his father somewhat "favors" him because of his powers. He is quite silly.

## Backstory

Tomu was born into a royal family with four other siblings, becoming the youngest of them. He had a fun childhood, being normal and scream-y. Once he was 9 years old he figured out his power of turning anything into precious jewels, making him quite a catch for all kinds of kidnappers and other thieves. Even though the royals' powers are hidden from the public his parents decided to play it safe and raised their son strictly within the castle walls. This meant he was always kept under supervision and was only allowed hobbies that were thought as suitable for a young boy- and that was fine for him. He spent his days playing and reading books, the only difference being the train rides his father would take him on to visit other kingdoms (his father was keen on making his son interested in alliances with other kingdoms and whatnot), when he could meet new people and see the world.

His favorite books consisted of stories of greek mythology and its heroes. Men like Hercules, Perseus and Odysseus inspired him to train himself to be a hero as well, so he started taking up different sports. At age 16 his life was mostly just sports sports sports with the occasional dash of reading - and all of this he did outside, becoming familiar with the gardens and other secret passages of the castle. He kept exploring further towards the village while horse riding, always wanted to train closer to the walls of the castle and started to get really invested in the outside world. Once he was 18 he got the idea of visiting the village in secret, which he did. The trip went well and he continued to do so occasionally. It wasn't really a secret anymore once he met Ramil, a thief who he hired as his bodyguard to keep him safe on his journeys.

## Personality

Tomu is a kind-hearted pacifist. He is quite naive, believing that anything can be solved by talking it out and mostly sees the bright side of things. Thanks to living most of his life in one place, he is somewhat adventurous and willing to learn more about the world even though it might intimidate him a little. He is mostly book-wise, which means he is quite dumb in practice. He knows a lot of the things he's interested in but streetsmarts? He has none. He also has a hard time reading people, often taking things literally or doubting what is said outside of the castle. Other than that you can kind of describe him as a golden retriever type of guy.

## Appearance

Tomu, like everyone else in his family (apart from the mom) is quite tall. He has dark hair, blue eyes and very light skin. You could say he also has freckles on his face but they are quite light- not that noticable. No-one in his family has them so its quite a mystery where they came from.

Thanks to all his training as a teenager he is also well built to some extent. He often dresses up in blue since its a royal color- he doesnt really know about fashion. Also back to his hair- he also has a mysterious light streak on his forehead. Again, no idea how that happened. Probably inherited the color from his father but how on earth does one get a streak in their hair?

## Abilities and Tools

* His power allows him to turn anything into jewels. He only has to cup something into his hands, add pressure and wait for the gem to form. The type of stone varies from time to time, most likely having something to do with how he's feeling. The most common one for him is a diamond.
* Tomu is a fast reader and has neat handwriting thanks to his interest in books.
* Out of all the sports he has tried, he's best with horseriding. He also likes badminton. He's quite advanced in fencing, but not as much as his sister Lumi or brother Aate.
* His star pendant is proof of his royal heritage. Each of his family members has one as any desired accessory. He wanted to copy his sister and get a headpiece as well, so now he wears it on the side of his head.

## Relationships

### Friends

###### Ramil

Tomu met his best friend Ramil at 19 years old. Before that he had no other people in his life he considered friends since he didnt get to converse with other people a lot. This is why he appreciates his best friend/bodyguard very much.

### It's complicateds

###### Valerie

Valerie is the princess Tomu's parents tried to marry him off to. His relationship with Valerie is quite tricky. During the time he was oblivious to the marrying-scheme and before Ramil was kidnapped he considered Valerie a friend, but once he found out Valeries schemes on removing Ramil out of the picture he started to find her rather repulsive. Still, the thought of the friendship that could have been still lingers in his mind from time to time.

### Family

###### Hohto and Taru

Tomu likes his parents. Hes more close with his mother Taru, who is the one to communicate the feelings between Tomu and his father. Hohto likes Tomu because he has a good power to lead a kingdom. Tomu likes Hohto because hes his dad.

###### Aate

Aate is Tomu's older brother. Even though Tomu holds him at high regard, Aate doesnt always show as much affection back. Aate is somewhat salty about their fathers favorism towards the youngest son, but still strives to tolerate him.

###### Lumi

Tomu is in very good terms with his oldest sister, often sharing his worries or any other feelings with her. Their rooms are close to eachother which allows them to meet at any times necessary.

###### Savu

Savu is quite busy and withdrawn from his family- he and Tomu don't really have a relationship. When they meet Savu keeps it strictly professional and business-like, which Tomu often finds amusing. If Tomu laughs or jokes Savu still tends to let down his guard and relax a bit.

###### Valhe

Valhe is often away from home thanks to her job as an investigator. When she gets home from time to time she gets along with Tomu quite well. If siblings are supposed to quarrel, that is where Tomu and Valhe come to play. They often bicker, but still in good taste.

### Enemies

In short he has no friends and no enemies. Only enemies, which means the only people he doesnt like, are those who've hurt his friend Ramil. These include Ophir, who kidnapped him, Nikolai, who beat him up and Dimitri, who is the one to thank for most of his friend's trauma. Other than that he has no enemies.
