Thomas James

**Thomas James** was a survivor of the Outbreak in The Walking Dead. He was a high school student before the apocalypse

## Overview

Thomas appeared to be a kind and stable young man., who appears to respect his peers wants and wishes.

However, as revealed in Phase 3, Thomas also suffers from severe anger issues, anger that bubbles beneath the surface, until it is violently released

## Post-Apocalypse

Thomas first appeared as an orphan and another school student. Often being a background character in both the Orphanage and the school.

During the Raid on Naporia Thomas tried to escape the burning school, but is trapped by burning flames and is kidnapped by the Sarton enforcers

Thomas was forced to be in Sarton schools, and remained there until the Escape from Sarton, where he was sent to Palm Bay Campground

In Phase 3, however, Thomas was revealed to be much angrier, as he was kicking some rocks in the forest when he was approached by Jamime Daniels, who wanted to join the campsite, and Thomas led him to a vacant cabin.

Later Thomas grabbed a gun, and tried to shoot and kill fellow orphan Euan Doyle. He missed and the bullet only took off his ear. Thomas was knocked down by Valentine Thompson and forced to stay by Jackson Graves. Susan Oakley and Rhett Slicers Casket stayed to help Euan with his injuries, and Steve Wanton came by to take Euan to the orphanage

Jackson then yelled at Thomas, telling him that a gun is not a toy, and not taking any of Thomas's excuses. Jackson told Thomas he would train him to shoot a gun, as long as he never pulled a stunt like this again. Thomas agreed, and also told Jackson that Sarton was not coming, something that Jackson was uncertain about.

Thomas also told Jackson that Euan was a bully for many years, and he just got worse after the Outbreak, even bullying Thomas for his heart condition. THomas was angry that good people like his parents and Ronald, a good friend of his, died, but Euan lived. Euan even avoided getting captured by Sarton. Thomas believed he had to kill Euan, but he knows now that was stupid.

Thomas was next seen practicing shooting a gun with Jackson, and the two bonded a bit. Jackson was impressed with Thomas's progress with the pistol, and Thomas found it hard to believe that Jackson was, at one point, unstable with a gun when he was just stating out. Jackson told Thomas to talk to Euan.

Later, Valentine checked on Thomas about his heart condition, and Thomas told him that he was glad he was here, because after Simon Williamson and Maira Jagirani vanished, they were without a doctor for a while.

Thomas then was seen playing tag with Susan, Euan, Sullene Leon, Brantley Leon, and Moss.
