NAME: Tommy Shepherd
CANON: Marvel Comics / Secret Wars: House of M
AGE: 18
CANON POINT: Shortly after Pietro's hostile takeover is announced
HISTORY: BATTLEWORLD is the remnants of the multiverse merged into a single planet, ruled by God Emperor Doom and his right hand, Dr Strange.
The world is divided into Domains, each of which is ruled by a Baron. Travel between Domains is heavily discouraged and one must be granted permission of the ruling Baron to travel to another land. This is due to the fact that it is a multiverse and there are multiple instances of its citizens, albeit with wildly different circumstances.
In the history of Earth-58163, Magneto was attacked by Sentinels in the early 1970s and discovered an anti-mutant conspiracy being lead by the United States Government. When this went public, Magneto used the ensuing public outcry to secure mutant rights and was granted sovereignty of Genosha. In the ensuing years, the birthrate of mutants jumped. Wars broke out. The mutants came out victorious, and the world shifted to suit Magneto's desires - mutant life was sacred, but human life was considered expendable. Though the world gives the illusion of equality on the surface, humans are no more than second class citizens.
All of this still happened. When the destruction of the multiverse happened, Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom gathered up the scraps of the worlds and fused them into one. The magic eventually leads everyone who lived on this world to believe it had always been that way, that Doctor Doom is their God and always has been, and that all of this is normal.
The Monarchy of M is ruled by the Magnus family. They rule from Genosha. The family is comprised of Erik Magnus, Pietro Magnus, Lorna Magnus, Wanda Magnus, and Wanda's twin sons - Thomas Magnus and William Magnus.
Thomas "Speed" Magnus is the eldest son of Wanda Magnus, grandson to Baron Erik Magnus of Genosha, and older twin brother to William "Wiccan" Magnus. He and his brother have lived their lives in the lap of luxury - they're untouchable by the law, protected by their grandfather's name and their mother's fearsome wrath. Despite his pampered and spoiled upbringing, Tommy still has a strong sense of justice. He and his brother are known throughout Genosha as troublemakers and rebels, fighting for the rights of humans everywhere.
Things in the Magnus family have always been a little rough. Though the family loves each other, there's a power struggle under the surface which strains their bond. Tommy and his brother go out of their way to anger their grandfather to rebel against the way he rules, while their uncle Pietro collaborates with Namor - the Baron of the nearby Domain of Atlantis, in order to overthrow King Magnus and make himself Baron. Meanwhile, human freedom fighters are fighting to kill the King as well.
At his current point in time, Tommy believes his grandfather and aunt Lorna to be dead - the world believes that human rebels killed him, but in reality they simply served as the scapegoat for Pietro and Namor's coup. His mother has just agreed to rule alongside her twin brother, ushering in a new era of terror.
PERSONALITY: In the original Marvel 616 universe, Tommy Shepherd enters the scene as a volatile, unstable young man eager to get some revenge on the people who've wronged him. Seconds after being let out from his cell, he's off on a rampage caring nothing for the people he may hurt. The few words he says are snarky, blunt, and pitch dangerously towards supervillain territory. His first few minutes say a lot about him.
Tommy Magnus, on the other hand, is introduced while in the process of being arrested for staging a protest for human rights with his twin brother, to the extreme outrage of his overprotective and exhausted mother. Unlike his counterpart, he's not full of aimless rage for a lifetime of mistreatment. Instead, he was born into the royal family of Genosha, a crown prince with the world at his fingertips, and he knows that the world is twisted and the only way to reform it is by taking action. Tommy Magnus understands that he is in a position to change things for the better, and so every waking moment is spent rebelling against the system of abuse and oppression that his grandfather has built up... just, maybe not in the best way he could be doing it. He's still as destructive and bratty as his mainstream counterpart, he just knows bigger words and has enough clout to try to make that change.
Tommy takes pains to not seem like a sensitive soul. His primary modes of interaction are: asshole, caustic asshole, and sarcastic asshole. Like a small child harassing the person he likes, Tommy's interactions with people he likes are usually obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious. While he's mostly shown interacting with his brother, his methods of supporting and encouraging Billy are mostly teasing him or bemoaning his shortcomings. Something Billy does in turn. The twins are so close that they can finish each other's sentences. He has feelings but it's rare that he shows them. He is, however, a little more in touch with them as he's had the benefit of being raised in a mostly loving (but wildly dysfunctional) family in contrast to his 616 counterpart. His tender side is reserved for special occasions and even then he tries to remain light when it comes up. Occasionally, if someone listens close, they may be privvy to a nugget of wisdom. Tommy knows enough to have strong opinions about the things he cares about and takes the responsibility of being a Prince seriously.
However, this doesn't mean that he is in any way a paragon of good. Tommy, despite his best intentions, is still often insensitive and callous with his words and loose with his decisions. If there is a less than legal way to get things done, he won't be the one objecting to it. In fact, chances are he's the one who brought it up - if you're a mutant able to run faster than cameras can follow, you're going to take advantage of that. Tommy's solution to most every problem is just to speed through it, or to create a big enough mess that the other party will be too busy cleaning it up to notice his escape.
Being a Magnus comes with its downsides. His family is constantly at each other's throats. The only person he can count on without fail is Billy, and the two of them are close to the point of finishing each other's sentences - though they're still prone to riffing on each other as brothers do. They're rarely not on the same wavelength and one comes up with a plan that the other will almost always roll with. The twins ideals clash with the rest of the family, leading to a somewhat strained relationship between them, their mother, and grandfather. Of course, if any of them were threatened, he wouldn't hesitate to leap into action and beat the hell out of whoever hurt them.
Sometimes, he's not sure if he's good enough to be doing what he's doing or uncertain if he can make a change or accomplish his goals. Billy is far more vocal about his insecurity, but Tommy has his moments of uncertainty and worry. These are rarely bad enough to be vocalized. When they are it's fleeting, done in private and resolved in private, as it doesn't take much for him to pick himself back up and come back at it with a renewed vigor.
The 616 Tommy has an issue with authority and justice, as he was more or less legally tortured by a system heavily prejudiced against people like him. This Tommy has never experienced that first hand, but he's passionate about the inhumane treatment of humans and recognizes that the authority from which he profits is corrupt. Tommy Magnus believes strongly in doing what he can for the people that are in his care and wants to reform his society to be a place where everyone can feel safe and live freely.
All in all, he's significantly less of a trainwreck than he could be considering who he was raised by. He and his 616 counterpart are the same person, merely raised in wildly differenet circumstances with slightly differing viewpoints on how to best affect the change they want to see in the world.
SPECIES: Mutant
APPEARANCE: a good boy
SKILLS:
- Diplomacy
- Attention to detail
- Athletic, fit, in good shape
- Fast runner, at peak human fitness without his mutation to enhance it further.
- Decent hand to hand skills
- Can identify the soup spoon but refuses to use it
- Even without his mutation, he's incredibly perceptive. he's used to processing information at a rate much faster than your average person so is quicker on the uptake than one may think.
- Crazy high metabolism. Always hungry, heals faster than a normal person. Understandably nerfed without the full extent of his mutation.
NEW POWER: Electricity Manipulation. Tommy has the ability to charge himself with static electricity - either through energy generated by his body, or by channeling it from some external source - and projecting it outwards. He can fire off electrical blasts up to three meters away. These blasts aren't enough to kill anyone, merely enough to temporarily stun. As his power grows it could also be used to enhance his speed and reflexes, but for now it's a mid-ranged attack.
POWER REASONING: Speed and electricity kind of go hand in hand. Tommy is a non-stop perpetual motion machine that never runs out of energy, and channeling that ability outwards offensively instead of using it inward to move faster makes sense for all that's currently going on in canon.
