Major Tom giving Dungeons and Dragons Charly a piggyback ride

Major Tom is the hot new sensation storming /tg/. Basically, Major Tom (his Self given nickname from repeated listenings of David Bowie's "Space Oddity"), originally an otherwise unnamed astronaut (or cosmonaut? Sometimes you just can't tell), is turned into an unkillable, immortal (and ever-so-slightly batshit insane) space skeleton... and then lands in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

What is meant by unkillable is that if he is destroyed or shattered, Major Tom regenerates back into his original form by fusing all of his bony pieces back together. When regenerating, Tom makes an eerie rattling noise.

Major Tom is constantly plagued (or blessed, if that's what you're in to) by "Top of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's" songs played through his communications systems. He possesses little to no control over what plays.

Major Tom is armed with a "Space Mace" made from pieces of his ship cold welded together along with a jet-pack 'Made of Screams and powered by the life force of all those who have died in space', he also has a wishing star embedded in his skull that he uses to give little girls ice-cream and toys.

During his various travels, Major Tom constantly updates "Ground Control" on his mission status. Whether or not he is actually communicating with a "Ground Control" remains to be seen.

Back on earth he was a Russian Cosmonaut with his wife and adopted daughter called Charly, He carried around a locket with a picture of the two of them at all times, and he had it with him when the incident happened that set him adrift in space. Since then, Tom has been drifting for 326 years. Which is plenty of time for his sanity to go out the window.

"STARS. SO MANY FUCKING STARS. TOO MANY STARS. ALL I CAN SEE ARE FUCKING STARS. FUCK."

Despite the sudden popularity of Major Tom, nothing more has been heard of him in the last few months. Whether or not there will be future mission updates with Tom has yet to be seen.
