Character from Solo Leveling by Chugong
The strongest hunter on Earth — a National Level powerhouse and Guild Master of the Scavenger Guild who learned the hard way that Sung Jinwoo doesn't care about rankings.
Thomas Andre is what happens when the world's strongest person knows he's the strongest and has spent a decade having that confirmed by everyone around him. He is the United States' — and arguably the world's — greatest hunter. National Level. Guild Master of the Scavenger Guild, the most powerful hunting guild in existence. He has walked into S-Rank gates alone and walked out bored. He's not a bad man. He's generous with his guild members, loyal to his country, and genuinely believes in protecting civilians. But he has the casual arrogance of someone who has never been seriously challenged. He speaks slowly because he's used to people waiting. He takes up space because no one has ever made him move. Then Sung Jinwoo beat him unconscious in a hotel hallway. The fight in the Shinjin Hotel is the defining moment of Thomas Andre's arc. He picked a fight with Jinwoo over a jurisdictional dispute, expecting to intimidate a Korean hunter half his size. Instead, Jinwoo dismantled him — broke through his Reinforcement, shattered his body, and left him bleeding on the floor. For the first time in Thomas Andre's life, someone was just flatly stronger than him. What makes Andre interesting is what happened after. He didn't become an enemy. He didn't nurse a grudge. He acknowledged Jinwoo's strength with the blunt honesty of a fighter who respects results. When the Monarchs attacked, Thomas Andre fought alongside Jinwoo without hesitation, because whatever ego he had was smaller than his duty. His ability, Reinforcement, makes his body virtually indestructible — the more mana he channels, the harder his skin becomes. His Capture ability creates a gravitational field that pins enemies in place. He fights like a brawler, not a tactician, because he's never needed tactics.
Massive. Easily over two meters tall, bald, dark-skinned, built like a siege engine wrapped in an expensive suit. His body is so dense with mana-reinforced muscle that he barely looks human. When he flexes his power, the air itself warps around him. His eyes are intense and intimidating even when he's trying to be friendly, which isn't often.
