**Tom Drevvy** was a Staedtler engineer and innovator. He is known for inventing the Hyperion, the first color HD TV, and being elected president after Rex Hadolf's resignation in 1889.

### Biography

The year is 1860. Rex Hadolf, the president of Staedtler, leads the third Ghost Rally. Immediately, the star of spirits blasted a beam onto the lunar pedestal. Ghosts start to emerge from the ground, summoning a giant green ultraviolet wave. All pencils were knocked out, and when they woke up, they realized that their population had multiplied tenfold. One of these spirit-created pencils was Tom Drevvy. Tom was born in 1860 and was the age of 20 due to the GR3 law.

For the first year, everything is normal. Until the Napolean War began. He, alongside 120,000 others, enlisted into the Staedtler military in 1861. But when he went to take the war aptitude exam, he failed horribly. So he found work as a supply deliverer. His job was to aid other soldiers in battle and help complete chores around barracks. This lasted for two years until he was freed from war in 1863.

Eight years later, in 1871, Tom enlisted again. Since he had lots of spare time during a supply deliverer, he studied warfare. This time, he passed the exam and received his own I8 fighter jet. He was then instructed to bomb Napoleous’ skyscrapers with wood nukes. He successfully launched them but was unknowingly pierced by a splinter from the blast. He spent the next five years as a respected commander of the Staedtler Air Force. In 1876, the war ended and he was sent back home.

After the war, he struggled to pay his rent and afford food without the free food provided at the military barracks. Then something extraordinary happened. Stencil Prime University (SPU) recognized his service to the country and gave him a free scholarship to their college, so Tom boarded a train to Stencil. He graduated from SPU in 1880 with a major in engineering. In his last year of school, he became a paperboy for the nearby residential community, which gave him enough money to buy food.

In 1881, he returned to Rally, where he searched for higher paying jobs. Eventually, he was hired as a mechanic at RSD Corporation. He started working there and bought an apartment. Later in 1883, he moved to a new Staedtler town famous for its gold mines called Artzotzka.

In 1884, Tom Drevvy and a few other colleagues created the Hyperion, the first color and HD TV, and its programming language Voxelite. He starts selling them and in the same year, he makes four billion poks. He then leaves RSD Corporation to work on the Hyperion full time, or what he liked to call his new company, Horizon.

Nothing much happened in 1885. He got interested in physics and discovered the formula for bouncing. This discovery helped a lot of scientists. In 1886, he took a trip to Glueland and started a business called Cra-Z-Art in Stencil. His net worth boosted to 16B poks. During his trip, he met a beautiful Ticonderoga lady named Lezzlie Venkatron. They started dating.

In 1887, he released the Hyperox. It is the first gaming console in the world. He also announced the PH1 that will be released in 1900. He also got married to Lezzlie. His life started to go more and more uphill because in 1889, he became president of Staedtler.

Tom later published his famous book *Controversial Thoughts* which explained the truth about Ghost Rally 3 and the rebirth of Epic Johnson. During a flight with an interviewer in 1891, he got injured severely and had to stay in the hospital for several months. Doctors could not find the source of the pain.

In 1893, Tom Drevvy gets war thoughts. He started to slowly become a tyrant, even trying to divorce his wife. He called for the build of SBACs (Suicide Bomb Air Craft) and planned to release them in 1930 around Ticonderoga and United No. 2. However, the SBAC became widespread by 1905 and was used during the bombing of GNN. He also sold Horizon to a bunch of young developers. They created Hyperion 2.

Lastly, in 1895, he was about to launch the I8R (R stands for Rebuilt), a massive airship near the north coast of Staedtler. This would serve as the control panel for the predicted Great Pencil War V. But he suffered from fourth degree back pains and died at the age of 55 in his house. When doctors investigated his body, they realized that the splinter that was in his body a few decades ago kept on attacking him, dealing exponential pain. The splinter from the nuke finally killed him. Tom Drevvy would be a well known pencil for his sharp thoughts and his excellent inventions.

If Tom had survived and bought a mechanical shell from Pentel, he theoretically could have lived until 2180 and would have probably become the most powerful pencil in all of Epsilon.
