I just updated my character boards for some of the DSMP characters, and I feel like I should share c!Tommy's updated physical descriptions:
Blond, Blue-Eyed British
Tommy's base appearance is pretty normal-looking for the most part, but looking at him in peripheral reveals just how off-putting he truly is.
His curly blond hair is very light, resembling something like spun sunlight. He's very easy to spot from a distance because of it, especially in the dark.
He has piercing blue eyes, the kind of pure blue that unnerves the recipient of his intense stares. In the right lighting, the blue reflects light so much that it looks like his eyes are glowing white. There's also a strange pop of red in his pupils that hints at something artificial in his veins.
Despite being an adolescent, Tommy is on the taller side, just under two meters tall. He carries himself as if he’s much smaller though. This leads to hijinks where he gets stuck after fitting himself in places he really shouldn’t be in.
Sympathetic Shapeshifter
For the most part, Tommy has a basic human appearance. However, he is clearly inhuman in origin by virtue of his ever changing hybrid traits. Tommy‘s shapeshifting is usually restricted to his ears and a tail, if applicable, but certain hallmarks of the relevant species can manifest across his body.
His shapeshifting is usually influenced by the people around him, hence sympathetic. He doesn’t seem to have much control over it.
When there’s no primary influence over his shifting, his default appearance manifests intangible horns and a demon tail, possibly due to his childhood with Eryn and Eryn’s mother, a full-blooded nether demon. The only times he doesn’t manifest anything, being completely human in appearance, are when he’s in isolation with Dream.
Resurrection Scars
When Dream uses the resurrection book, he is essentially forcefully repairing the body of the deceased and dragging the soul back into its vessel. There is nowhere near enough ambient magic in the prison cell to repair Tommy’s body the natural way, so Dream instead pulls directly from the obsidian and lava and uses the unrefined magic particles.
Tommy reawakens in his body. There are deep purple cracks where his skull was fractured and in the crevices of old scars. There is a faint orange glow emitting from just beneath his skin. He can't tell if he's overbearingly hot or if everything is so cold. He won't know it yet, but he bleeds molten gold.
