Dislikes: authority, people who hurt his friends, long drives with nothing to do<br />
Strengths: good tactician, good pilot, very caring towards my friends, affectionate... and I'm cuddly too!<br />

<br />
Backstory: I've really lead a pretty simple life. Sinc eI was a kitten, I've lived in the city, and I grew up along-side Chanc eFurlong. Oh, we've had our spats... what friends don't? But ever sinc epre-school, that crazy tabby has pulled me along for the ride. We decided to become pilots when we were kittens together. We were in most of the same classes, played varsity football together, and even entered Enforcer Academy together. In the end, we both became pilots, and he's my squad leader. Couldn't ask for a better kat to do the job!<br />
<br />
Personality: I've been called crazy, but I know I'm far more down to Earth than Chance. I try to be a nice guy for the most part. All I wanna do later in life is settle down, marry Alanna, and raise a family. Chance thinks I'll make a great dad... I hope I will!<br />

Thomas Purrson was an interesting addition to a story I'm writing... originally, he wasn't goign to be in it. He's an American curl (the sort of cat that has curled-back ears), and initially, he was just a doodle. Then, he developed into an old friend of Chance's that died in an accident. Namely, he was shot down, and Chance felt responsible.<br />
<br />
The title of this came from Garth Brooks' "The Dance", which is a really appropriate song for Thomas. He did everything with Chance (they were friends long before he and Jake ever met) and wouldn't trade that friendship for the world. When Thomas was shot down, it was trying to protect his friend.<br />
