I wondered where my last post went ok here's my basic concept again

Thomas inherited the mantle the day his father died, the day he also inherited his father's toy shop.

Thomas, like his father, is short in statue being only 4'6" tall. Though due to a life of childhood bullying he built himself up to be quite muscular and knows how to defend himself.

He finished school went to college and got a degree in woodwork and metal work . He then joined his father in making some of the most beautiful hand crafted toys you could buy. Which the sold at unbelievably low prices. His father believing that every child should have at least one toy on Christmas Day.

Now he understands why his father was never around on Christmas Eve and why he slept most of Christmas and boxing Day.

Father Christmas is real and thomas, like his father before him, is the jolly man in red's eyes and ears in the world.
