Tomas usually carries only what he wears as the Ghost Bat, and might have a few things nearby in an old late-model sedan for emergencies. Schloss Weine is where he keeps the prototypes and any interesting things he steals off of his prey.
The way Per Negaton uses him, the Ghost Bat is a fascist monster who believes himself to be a Righteous Man on the Right Side of History...if anybody manages to get past Tomas' delusions and reach the wounded soul beneath, the Ghost Bat persona will shatter like a fun house mirror...

I suspect that's why Per Negaton asked me for a foil to the Ghost Bat-and I only hope that the unhinged operative Comprachico The Clown actually measures up to the task, Per seemed to think he'd do. Mind you, I think that it would be an absolute hoot for the Ghost Bat to have an entire Rogue's Gallery of Freedom Fighters who are just as freakish and unhinged as he is, in a twisted parallel to the Original hero...imagine Mabuse the Gambler as a Ridder stand-in, incensed at his loss of power due to the fall of the Weimar Republic:
I could also see an escapee from Mengele's experiments becoming the Ghost Bat's 'Bane' perhaps a former British POW:
and the late Rondo Hatton would make an awesome Killer Croc stand-in:
Pretty sure that Per Negaton isn't going in that direction though. I've got a standing invitation to Zeta Beam into the MUD whenever work and family allow (in fact, 'Order99, Strange Augmented Advisor From Elsewhere' was pretty made for this kind of 'Guest Appearance' sort of occasional play) so I guess i'll just keep my modem tuned and see how things play out...
