Thomas Canterbury was born in YE 10.

Pre RP Thomas Canterbury was born on Nepleslia. He is part of the Canterbury Clan, a group of very skilled and respected warriors who have been slowly growing to a national stage. Their ancestry is shrouded in mystery but they have strong ties to the Reds of Nepleslia. Though they despised the Nepleslia civil war, they were not ones to back down from a fight. Some of the clan were die hard Reds, while others were more neutral and only fought when their families were threatened. Thomas' parents were part of the die hards and fought against the Greens with everything they had.

Thomas was 19 and a junior officer in the Red Navy during the fateful battle of . After that defeat, Thomas sought refuge in Yamatai and enlisted in the Yamatai Navy. He's plan was to bide his time and see what recourses he could secure for the Reds to overturn the Greens. But the more he worked along side the men, woman and even the Nekos his desire for revenge changed. The Star Army had earned his respect and loyalty, something that is very precious to him.

Thomas quickly rose through the ranks. He was constantly studying ship designs so he would know exactly where weak points might be. He also spent a good bit of time training the crew of whatever ship he served on in how to board and capture intact an enemy ship.

At the Battle of Glimmergold he was a Shosa and second officer aboard a Sharie-class Battleship, probably his favorite ship design. He led a group of boarders and successfully boarded and captured an enemy Battleship, but his own ship was destroyed as the Star Army began its withdrawal so he piloted the enemy ship back to safety. For his heroism, Thomas was promoted to Chusa and assigned as First Officer to the Sharie-class Battleship YSS Wakaba.

This character for whatever reason was a lot trickier to make since I was trying to stay with my theme of having all my characters related in some way but didn't wanted them to each have their own flavor. Inspiration came from all over the place with this one.
