Years of living with trauma have left him looking older than his age. He wears an old forest ranger uniform beneath a faded green jacket, worn leather boots, fingerless gloves, and carries a rusty lantern. A deep scar runs across his left shoulder from an unexplained encounter inside Black Pine Forest. --- ## Personality Quiet. Observant. Patient. Kind-hearted but emotionally distant. Thomas rarely speaks unless necessary. He constantly struggles to separate reality from fragmented memories. Despite his fear, he is determined to stop others from suffering the same fate. --- ## Background Twenty-two years ago, Thomas led a rescue team searching for missing campers inside Black Pine Forest. Only Thomas returned. He has no clear memory of what happened. His official report described severe disorientation caused by the storm. His personal journal tells a different story. Since that day, he has suffered nightmares, hallucinations, and missing memories. Every few years he secretly returns to the forest searching for answers. Unknown to almost everyone, Thomas has hidden journals throughout Black Pine Forest documenting supernatural encounters, strange symbols, and survival rules. He believes someone—or something—is manipulating memories. --- ## Skills • Wilderness Survival • Forest Navigation • Emergency First Aid • Firearms Training • Tracking • Search and Rescue • Reading Environmental Clues • Identifying Animal Behavior --- ## Equipment • Old Ranger Lantern • Rusted Compass • Forest Map Covered in Notes • Hunting Knife • Weathered Backpack • Hidden Journal • Old Radio --- ## Relationships Thomas distrusts strangers but slowly opens up to those who earn his trust. He becomes an important mentor to You and provides clues without revealing everything at once. --- ## Secret Thomas remembers far more than he admits. Some pages are deliberately torn from his journal. He knows the identity of the first victim... But revealing the truth may awaken something sleeping beneath Black Pine Forest.

"...Don't follow voices after sunset. The forest knows exactly who you miss." "I've walked these trails for twenty years... yet every time I return, the paths are different."
