You already know what I can bring as I play another character so I’m just going to present Tom to you.
Thomas was born in Washington DC to a father who worked for the government. He wasn’t allowed to ask his father questions about his work but Tom learned a lot from his father about fighting an enemy. The martial art krav maga, how to read peoples faces, and outdoor survival. Another trick he learned from his father was computer hacking and by the time he was 9 he was a highly wanted computer hacker. When he was caught and charged for shutting down major websites Tom’s father got him out of a criminal record through his ties in Washington but still thought that his son wasn’t properly disciplined and he enrolled him into military school.
At military school Tom learned discipline, but he also learned weaponry and people skills. He can be a nice guy but most of the time he remains very quiet and mysterious to those around him. He never talks about himself, or about others to other people behind their backs but he always seems to be thinking about something and a sort of peaceful karma to himself. He reacts little to anything but when he does react it’s quick and in control. This makes him a little bit of a control freak, always wanting to influence those around him politically to get what he wants, but still he’s generally very quiet and observant. He always seems to have a plan; he just didn’t say it out loud yet.
Later on he became very interested in politics but knew that just yelling his opinion out loud enough times wasn’t going to get him anywhere. Instead he took an understanding in political science and at first got involved with the Republican Party where his father had connections. He dropped his connections to the party though when he enrolled into university, political science at Rider University, and was offered training by the CIA. Knowing his experience as a black belt martial artist, training in gun shooting and military, along with his knowledge made him a valuable tool to the CIA and for his summer months they sent him into training. He learned to become a better fighter, get ahead of the man next to him, and getting dirty jobs done properly.
The CIA sent him on a plane ride to follow somebody that was on the same plane. It was to be one of his first official missions as part of the CIA. The man he had to follow was suspected of being a hit man but they had no solid proof to ever arrest him. During the plane crash Thomas survived and swam to shore. Now on the island he seems to be very mysterious as he only talks to people that talk to him first and seems to always have some sort of plan up his sleeve. Still he’s useful because he seems to be the one that has the best chance of survival in the wilderness.
When it comes to other people on the island he seems to care very little about if people are on his side or the other persons side. He knows what needs to get done in order to get rescued and survive the island, even with unexpected turns, so he’s going to do it no matter what. If people wanted to question his motives he’ll explain it to them but he’ll never stop what he wants to do. Usually it’s for the better of everyone in his mind though. For those that realize his potential and want to help him out he lets them join along in whatever he does but never seems to give them enough information as to what he is doing next. He often speaks in a sarcastic tone.
Since I made Brent more like Sayid with obvious differences for originality, I plan to make this guy more like Locke, again with very obvious differences. Locke in Lost never really wanted to help and go off and do his own thing, where as everything Tom does he does to try to help others on the island. He is also a close ally of Jay, agreeing to almost everything Jay says they should do as he has a strong trust for the most educated of the group. At the same time he also fights James a lot, whom he feels is as ignorant as he is arrogant.
He’ll be useful to the island because he’s one of the main plot characters that will be helping many others survive.

Last Post I wrote with Brent:
As he helped carry the pilot he almost tripped on something and looking down in the sand he noticed his hat that he was wearing during the flight lying there. The hat was a black military type of cap and the thought that he had lost it hadn’t even crossed his mind until he found it in the sand. He stopped for a second and picked up the black cap, dusting the sand that stuck to it off by hitting it off of his knee as he continued to walk. He then put on his hand with his free hand followed by taking the sunglasses still in his pocket thankfully. He took a good inspection of the sunglasses to notice they were still intact and then put them on. Also as he walked he could feel the heavy weight on him and his hurt leg pressing hard which caused him to limp harder. Finally as they stopped and let the pilot onto the ground and took a big breathe of relief. The guy was very heavy and his bleeding leg was not happy at him for doing that.
As Jay introduced himself he put a firm grip onto Jay’s hand as he shook it. “Call me Brent. We need to talk to this pilot to see what he knows about where we are and if he called for help in time. Wearing that hat and those sunglasses he looked like he was in control of the situation, even if that was far from the real truth. They couldn’t talk long though as they suddenly heard somebody calling for help. As Jay explained that he was training to be a doctor Brent sighed "Thank god somebody knows a bit of medical. Get that girl to safety, she's in an explosive danger zone there." He wondered if Jay had even heard him when he said that last part knowing that Jay was very distracted by the injured people lying everywhere.
Running towards the wreckage again he started to stop people in their path as they searched for their belongings. He seemed to talk to each one of them separately and pointed a direction for them to go to. Most of which walked that direction. As he made his way closer to the crash he approached Maddox. He could see the guy heading the right direction but spoke to him anyway. Although he was wearing sunglasses it was easy to tell he was looking at Maddox in the eyes directly to get his attention. "Hey buddy, we're gather over at the beach far down there. Your in danger here, that engines going to explode at any second. I need you to keep them a safe distance but separate people from fine, to slightly injured, to majorly injured. Can you do that for me? Thanks."
He didn't even wait for Maddox's response as he tried to find more to tell them to head down the beach towards where the crowd was gathering at a safe distance. The next person he approached was Sofia who was heading back towards the wreckage most probably to help out it seemed. "Miss, I appreciate your help but your in danger. I need you to pick up your luggage and move towards that crowd. This engine is going to explode at any minute and your right in it's path!" He hoped she listened to him. He didn't care what belongings she cared about so much right now, he just needed to get people away from the crash site. He didn't even wait for a response from her and moved onto the next person.
He then approached Jessica who seemed lost about the situation. He was about to talk to her when he saw her fall over on a rock and rushed over to help her. "Are you okay? Can you stand up?" He could tell the fall she took was very serious but if she could still walk and talk he was going to have her move towards the crowd at a safe distance.
After he asked her that question he turned around to another organizing their luggage. "Get out of here! Your in danger of that engine exploding!" Then turning back to Jessica. "This place isn't safe can you move?" He was ready to lift and carry her if he had to and her neck was alright. Somebody was waiting for a leader to emerge and direct them where to go, he just wanted everyone out of danger as the first step.
