Thom is a Superhero in a world where this is totally the norm, the League of Heroes is recognised internationally and Thom is one of its probationary members.
Thom's power? Healing. Not only does Thom never get sick but he also can heal himself and perhaps more importantly, heal others. To do this, Thom is equipped with a second sight that enables him to see injuries and pain in people both physically and psychologically. Pain and illness of the physical variety is seen as a 'stain' on the character's aura and, if focused upon for enough time Thom can tell the exact reason for the pain. Psychological pain, similarly, is scene as a black smoke in your character's aura and if Thom focuses upon it, he can glean a sense of what it comes from for example heartbreak.
It would be great then if you could fill in this handy table below so that I can know what Thom might see from your character!
Thom's Permissions
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Definitely okay especially when you factor in the nature of the game. For a 'friendly'/'platonic' level of intimacy I'm open to it with all my CR once Thom and your character develop a degree of closeness. When it becomes Romantic Thom is canonically gay and I'd like most of that CR to be discussed prior to the physical affection.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Be my guest! Remember though, Thom is a Superhero and will take the negative connotations of physical violence personally and be more than willing to fight back. Also he's petty as hell. Oh and he can heal.
RELATIONSHIPS: Thom will move quite quickly into friendships, being eager to build that kind of thing between himself and any other characters in the game. Thom is known to fantasise quite early on in knowing someone and this will be indicated in his meta. He's a hopeless romantic and can fall fast in terms of his mentality with regards to another person.
MENTAL INFORMATION: Thom has no mental training or immunity to telepathy
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Thom is immune to sickness and has a healing factor that responds in the way of heat/light. He can heal all injuries to himself (canon examples include healing his own fractured neck, ruptured internal organs, torn arteries and severed tendons) and transmute that energy into his powers. He does however suffer from seizures as a result of his powers.
Are you happy for Thom's sight to work on your character? YES
What kind of physical pain or sickness would Thom see in your character's aura?: Thom suffers from epileptic seizures due to the use of his powers, this would be seen as a stain on his aura in the region of his brain as the route of the problem.
What kind of psychological pain would Thom see in your character's aura? Examples of Thom's psychological pain: being abandoned by his mother, his own difficulties with regards to his sexuality.
Are you happy for Thom's sight to work on your character? YES
What kind of physical pain or sickness would Thom see in your character's aura?: Nothing. Marco's ability heals him whenever he changes form, so he's completely healthy and uninjured pretty much always.
What kind of psychological pain would Thom see in your character's aura? Where to even start...if a character's aura is stained by psychological damage and pain, Marco's is probably all stain at this point. His life has been very rough ever since he was 11 years old, when his mother 'died' (she later showed up again as an unwilling pawn of the enemy) and his father fell into a depression, leaving Marco to take care of both of them. When he was 13, he was drafted into a guerrilla war that lasted three years, and he was the strategist of the team, and a particularly ruthless one. His plans ended up killing countless enemies, including a large number of innocent people, and a few of them directly endangering the life of his own enslaved mother. As if that weren't enough, he's been injured in almost every way possible, including various extremely gory ways that I won't describe here, but that did or almost killed him on hundreds of occasions.
tl;dr abandonment issues, both mommy and daddy issues, PTSD from 3 years of being a child soldier and strategizing plans that ended up killing a lot of people, and almost-dying too many times to count

THANK YOU FRIEND! I WILL BEAR ALL OF THIS IN MIND. Thom will try his best not to focus on a lot of that stuff but if it ever comes up its good to have it on record.
If it does ever come up, I'm perfectly fine with that. Marco is a tough nut to crack (he's a deflector-with-humour, the worst) so anything that can help with getting through to him is great!
