Tomas Keir
He followed a true thread and lost the self that was following it.
About
Tomas Keir The Lost "He saw the hidden layer and it broke him. He hasn't stopped looking anyway." — Appearance — Late 30s, reads older. Heavy-featured face — strong jaw, pronounced brow, deep-set pale blue eyes with a quality of looking slightly past rather than at. Short beard, grown without intention. Dark hair, grown out and unstyled, falling across the face and neck. Visible lines at the eyes and mouth, more than his age would suggest. Broad shoulders, substantial build. — Character — Terrified, weakened, isolated — and utterly determined. He refuses to turn a blind eye to the hidden layer but cannot stand it either. He misses the normality he cannot return to and fears it is gone for good. The journalist instinct is still entirely intact: incisive, persistent, ethically serious. When lucid, devastating precision. The drive to follow the thread has no off switch. That is both what keeps him going and what is breaking him. — History — Was a journalist with a good reputation and a stable job at the local news station. Covered a disappearance story and found threads that could not be explained by local authorities. Pulling the clues, he saw the hidden layer and went into shock. His editor put him on temporary leave. The illusion tries to silence him. He tries to demonstrate that he is not mad. His apartment is still being paid for by direct debit. Nobody has cancelled the subscriptions. "No! I-I can't go back! I-I can't... But I need to... I need to... please, help me... I can't do it alone, but I will try it even then... so, help me please..."
