Name: Tom (or Thomaso, if you prefer my ultra-handy Italian name!)

Age: 14

Birthday: 16th September 1993

Height: 5'8"

Grade at school - I am in Grade 9. I would be in Grade 10, but I got kept down for a year in preschool. I have no idea why (I was reading at a Grade 3 level back then!) but apparently it said something to do with being born in September. Damn elitists!

Ancestry: My background is a mix of Italian (Dad's side) and English (Mum's side). My both my grandfather and pa were born here, so I am a third-generation Aussie - life is good. I really want to learn how to speak Italian, but that'll have to wait.

Country: Australia

Explanation of my Pen Name: Firestorm Studios is the name of the group my friends and I used to have. Now they've all given up on it, but I don't want to change name. Firestorm Studios will one day be my company, oh yes. And yes, I am aware there is a, or multiple, companies named Firestorm Studios, and to avoid getting sued I would like to say that I do not own the name, and I am not affiliated with any companies under the name. I'm also FirestormKing on Youtube, Firestorm Studios on FictionPress, and RiproarerSun on DeviantArt!

I appear as characters in my own stories - I have appeared twice as Tom. In SomebodyxSomebody I am one of the teenagers who lives on the island. And in Those Daily Things I am a teacher (for Grade 9 English and Drama for the whole school) at the Traverse Town High School.

I also have appeared in other's people's Fanfictions!

In SkyLandOcean's 'A Sick And Twisted Game' Tom appears on the Red Team as a competitor - not much else is known at this point, other than I think he wields a war hammer in battle - But I will update this as the story continues! Thanks a heap, SkyLandOcean! I also appear as the very nerdy, very... um... Strange... Yeah, strange... Camcorder Kid in her and her bro's best work - 'Keyblade Korner'.

In Kee Blayd's story 'A New Light' Tom appears as a human and Nobody. As a human, he has great fighting skills and is in love with a girl named Lochit. He gets turned into a Heartless, and so Nobody Tom is spawned. He doesn't care much for Lochit, has a deep hatred for Rould, and barely ever uses a weapon in battle. He can use a stone axe at some points, but prefers to send hundreds of small stone pellets flying toward the enemy! All 3 forms of Tom - Human, Heartless, and Nobody - seem to have a relation to Elaeus (Lexaeus). In the same story, Tom's Heartless is Somaxth, who still cares deeply for Xochitl (Lochit's Heartless) and is immensely strong. Like his Nobody, he weilds the element of stone. He creates an axe made of stone, and according to Kee Blayd, is quite egotistical. I love my Heartless name so much I custom made one of those bracelets where you put beads on it so that it spells 'Somaxth'. It's awesome, and so is the story! Once again, I owe you many, many thanks, Kevin!

-- My Friends

They tend to make regular appearances in my fanfictions - sometimes as randoms or semi-main characters! They are Tim, Henry, Redmond, Peggy, and Kreotwicz. But there are some authoresses and authors close to my heart. They have also appeared in my Fanfictions - My highest respect goes out to them, and my highest reccommendations of their work go out to you.

SkyLandOcean - Without a doubt the best and most hilarious authoress on the site (while others may disagree) SkyLandOcean is a close friend... Nay, my best friend, on the site, and is undoubtedly destined to be both a humourous and adventurous author in the future, and a goddamn awesome one too. She does some very nice artwork, mainly of her Fanfiction OC's, on DeviantArt, and her encouragement has lead me to become far more than what imagined I would be when I first registered on the site. Endless thanks and too many signs of gratitude to count go out to you, SkyLandOcean! This girl has sweetest personality and is an invaluable friend of mine! She appears in Glorious Advance, Three of Hearts and Those Daily Things!

Kee Blayd - My man here writes damn well - far better action scenes than I could write... EVER, and his first, and currently only, Fanfiction is one that lights up my day with its updates. Many, many times have we had a fun, very late-night (In my case) MSN conversation! He is very nice by personality, and is definitely my main man when it comes to quick, spur of the moment advice and consulting! He also made a supporting appearance in Glorious Advance as Kevin, as well as now being the main antagonist, Kevin Brent, in Three of Hearts! I will now note that Kevin Brent, as far as I know, does not reflect Kee Blayd's real personality in any way. He simply envied the idea of being an antagonist, and I delivered!

LightsDarkChild - All the glory I have to offer and all my respect possible belongs to LightsDarkChild. Her brilliant mix of awesome and random (though not as random as SkyLandOcean, she wins that prize) makes for an incredible read, no matter what story of hers you read. Unfortunately, she can't be on the site too much at the moment, and so I just look forward to the day she makes her glorious return! Don't give up, LightsDarkChild!

-- What I Love

It's a well known fact that in the world of Kingdom Hearts pairings - Yaoi, Yuri, or Het - Voicing your opinion is a declaration of War. I must first declare that I like Yaoi. Yes - it's better than Het in many occassions - Therefore I am pleased to say that my two favourite pairings are... SoraxKairi, being both my favourite Het pairing and my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE PAIRING OVERALL!! (Squeals like a fangirl) XD!! Oh, sorry! composes self SoraxRoxas is my favourite Yaoi pairing. Apart from that, I'll pretty much read any story about any pairing unless it's got some very weird, very twisted things in it. But the only pairings I will NOT read are CloudxSephiroth, and any pairing of Kairi with anyone except Sora! The World Ends With You has the pairing NekuxShiki which I love. When it comes to Fire Emblem I support EliwoodxLyn and IkexElincia. And there, fangirls and fanboys, are my alliegances for all to see.

I'll be waiting,
Whenever you need me,
I'll be there."
