Tomas Colyer background

Â Tomas seemed to of had a typical average childhood, because well, it was. He was the second of two sons born to Edmynd and Teressa Colyer. Growing up he spent his days playing with the neighborhood boys in between his schooling, until after his tenth birthday when he started to help hims mother tend to the family store. He eventually moved to the back workroom to help his father and to start his apprenticeship in carpentry after his older brother, Pryce decided to join up as a deckhand on a local ship, much to his father displeasure.

Â Tomas' life remained pretty standard until getting news from his brother, whom got tired of being on a ship and traveled to Ul'Dhan and got a job as a guardsman. there it seemed he meet and fell in love with Lilwen, a local midlander. After returning from Ul'Dhan for the wedding, Tomas' father became sick, and disregarding his illness he continued to work to the point of exhaustion, and shortly before Tomas' 18th birthday his father succumbed to the illness and passed on.Â

Â The next two years were rough for Tomas and his mother. Because his training was so incomplete, Tomas was unable to pick up after his father, though luckily there was enough back stock to keep the store open for a few more months.

Unable to afford hiring a full time carpenter to produce more stock, Tomas 's mother decided to sell off their store and retire. Tomas for his part decided to get a job in the ship yards, but before that happened a letter arrived bearing good news, Lilwen was pregnant.Â

Â Arriving at Ul'Dhan Tomas and his mother was meet were met by Lilwen with heart breaking news. There was a skirmish outside the city with a group of guards, Pryce was among them and did not make it back. Due to the situation, Teressa decided to stay and in Ul'Dhan to help Lilwen. Tomas no longer having to worry about helping to support his mother, decided to travel to Girdanian and join the Carpentry Guild.Â

Â While he did show promise, he was not initially accepted into the guild, but was given a job with them.He spent the next few years he worked working for the guild, learning what he could as he waited till he reached the point where he would be accepted into the guild as an apprentice.Â

Â Tomas was out in the Twelvewoods returning from making a deliver when Bahamut made his appearance. A small piece of the now shattered moon landed nearby, the force of the impact tossed the wooden wagon Tomas was on, onto it's side throwing Tomas off where he landed hard onto the ground. Laying face down and completely winded, Tomas could only lay there listening to the sound of screaming as pieces of Dalamund streaked across the sky. Eventually he manage to turn himself onto his back, there he laid warm blood on his face and pain radiating throughout his body as he listen to the crackle of the nearby fire and the mournful cry of one of the Chocobo's that was bpulling the wagon. There he closed his eyes and waited to die.

Â Tomas awoke within the city walls, being tended by some local conjurers. And during his recuperation Tomas decided to join the Lancers guild and to learn how to fight if only for self protection.Â

Tomas no longer having to worry about helping to support his mother
Please explain why he no longer has to worry about his mother. She is staying with(from what I gather a recently widowed soon to be mother) and that isn't generally thought of as someone with a stable income. Did she receive some sort of pension or widows fund type of deal?

Still reading? well I went with option C for the Lala, the hair just says egghead to me.
