a wild staff member appeared!

STAFF MEMBER USED INTRODUCTION.

Anyhoo. This is Thomas (Tom) Sawyer, better known as Mr. Sawyer to most of you. He's the new librarian at Dalton, moving in over the summer to familiarize himself with the place and get the library organized the way he wants it. Not that he'll make anyone ditch the Dewey Decimal System. :P This is his first official librarian job and he's semi-fresh out of grad school, so he's brand new to that. Not to the whole boarding school thing though, since he went to a combined middle/high boarding school, so he knows all about boarding school boys. He was married once, and has a daughter although it was a messy divorce, so he doesn't have custody of her. He's also extremely repressed but he's not homophobic - he just doesn't think at ALL about his own sexuality.

Personality wise, he's kind of still figuring himself out. He's twenty-six and this is the first time in his life that he's really had the time to sit down and figure himself out. He loves books and talks about them to anyone who's willing to listen to him go on, so it's a good thing he's a librarian really. Tom has a very dry sense of humor and tries not to get too sarcastic with students, but it may be easier said than done. He also believes in being there for his students, even though he may not be their teacher, and so he'll do anything he can to help them out. He would like to think he's fairly good at giving advice, but he's sort of untested, so we'll see.

I'm happy to plot anything out - he may be a minor character as staff members go, but he'll generally talk to anyone who talks to him first. I'm about to go put my details in the Directory, but for now, his app is here.
