Current Assimilations:
- Tired, Old Mandalorian's brain.
- Right eye assimilated imperial probe droid sensors.
- Gungan Lungs.
- Shi'ido right arm

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Tom doesn't know how to act with other people. Awkward at best, senseless at worse, he is still getting the hang of being a person and not a weapon. As a new mandalorian, he subjected himself to the Resol'nare, and is doing all he can to prove himself worthy of the Mandalorian way. He feels dispersonalised, as an object who suddenly had the ability to think, talk and feel. Shifting through the many organic and tecnological parts he needs to survive and to correspond to the demands put on him, he's often reflective on what's left of him that's truly his own.
After assimilating his fallen comrade's brain matter, Tom has become capable of seeing his dead friend, now merely an alucination -or a spirit that kept on going to advise and guide him. He is sure that, with his friend's help, he can finally be someone instead of something.
STRENGTHS
Changes - As an assimilator, the very reason he was born was to adapt and assimilate the world around him -be it organic matter, or technology. As long as there's life or energy around, Tom will linger on and overcome the disastrous odds.
Space Oddity - His personhood is new to him. The ability to question, to feel more than a beast ever could, to discover a whole new galaxy before his eyes, the marvelous curiosity and wonder of a child is something reality hasn't yet taken out of Tom.
Lazarus - Until he has the will to survive, Tom will not die. Trained to be a commando since conception, he has plentiful knowledge in Teras Kasi, Stava, knife fighting and knows too well how to handle light, medium and heavy blasters.
Scary Monsters (and Super Freaks) - On times of extreme necessity and stress, something clicks on Tom's mind. His lab-made need to win and survive overcome his reason and his personhood.
WEAKNESSES
Blackstar - Something deep within Tom yearns for significance. It wants to be someone, and doesn't know how. His itch to find meaning in life doesn't seem to ever be scratched until now...
Absolute Beginner - All this social thing is new to Tom. He is extremely socially awkward and, while he has the best of intentions in mind, he can't express himself at all.
I Can't Give Everything Away - Tom shifts. He fights to keep his identity alive, but it's simply too hard. Sometimes he has to wonder how much of him is left in the shell of a body he lives in. His identity crisis is breaking his will.
Slip Away - The Tired Old Mandalorian appears to him in dreams and allucinations too vivid to discern from reality. Is his spirit lingering on, or is Tom's mind simply not his own anymore?
