Character Bio :
Tommy Joel
Tommy is the ultimate bully you love to hate until you get to understand his character. He is the typical arrogant and popular tough boy, fearless of greater threats and rebellious to authority figures. Tommy changes dramatically throughout the story, growing up to become more sensible and mature than his two brothers. Although the brothers are the same age, Tommy was the firstborn of the siblings, making him the oldest by birthright. He is also the tallest and grows to rely more on his human skills and strength of spirit rather than his gifted powers. One distinguishable talent this character has is the ability to see through walls and blueprints of lands with his multi-coloured eyes, which in the story is his most prominent feature. Tommy becomes more self-assured as his character progresses, having to carry the torch for all the creatures and humankind of Abasin by the 5th and 6th instalment. He is the true hero of the series but will that be enough for him to save the new world of Abasin from evil? Will his brothers help or fail him in the end?
