Tommy

*"The Vice President of the DIKs. He's got a short fuse, but I don't think he's all bad. He's got his moments."*

**Tommy** is a student at Burgmeister & Royce and boyfriend to Heather.

Together with Rusty, he co-founded The DIKs and serves as the fraternity's inaugural Vice President.

## Physical Appearance

Tommy is approximately 21 years old, he is above-average in height with a muscle build. He has black hair and light blue eyes. He is usually seen wearing a tank-top, jeans and his DIK letterman jacket.

## Personality and Traits

Tommy has an abrasive, confrontational and temperamental personality, which has lead to frequent issues with others including the Tri-Alphas, his girlfriend Heather and his fraternity brothers in The DIKs. He highly self-assured and doesn't care how others perceive him. He has little to not interest in the academics of college and generally tries to find a shortcut out of any situation. After the DIK Mansion is trashed by the Tri-Alphas, Tommy immediately suggests Rusty should call his father to pay for the damages rather than work to afford the repairs.

Despite his negative qualities, Tommy has also proven to be a loyal brother The DIKs. He is quick to jump to the defense of his fraternity brothers and has shown to honor "The DIK Code of Silence" (though not without some difficulty).

## History

Little is known of Tommy's history but he met Rusty shortly after Rusty was rejected from the Preps and the two of them decided to create the DIKs together.

Tommy's mother Monica is married to Josy's father Pete. The family lives in the Main Character's Home Town.

## Relationships

### **Family and Intimate Relationships**

#### **Monica**

Tommy's relationship with his mother Monica has not been explored so far.

#### **Josy**

Tommy's relationship with his younger step-sister Josy hasn't been developed upon much, but it seemingly isn't great, but it seems to be stronger on his end than it is on hers. On her end this might be because she distrusts Tommy's mother and her dad's wife Monica. Tommy seems to have a soft spot for her and is protective of her; but this might be for his own self-image reasons. The only visible interaction they have had so far is Josy confronting Tommy about punching MC in the face; she furiously kicks him in the nuts in retaliation.

#### **Heather**

Heather is Tommy's girlfriend. The first interaction the two had was when Rusty and Tommy first began discussing creating the DIKs and she can be seen in a wheelchair arguing with him. The two have a fairly toxic relationship where Tommy will cheat on Heather, and whenever he does gives Heather a free pass to sleep with anyone.

### **DIKs**

Most of the DIKs seem to respect Tommy from a distance, due to his moody disposition and sometimes aloof nature.

#### **Rusty**

Tommy and Rusty are the founders of the DIKs, and being the Vice President of the DIKs Tommy generally has a good relationship with Rusty. The two don't always see eye to eye on things, such as when it came to repairing the DIK mansion, Tommy believed getting Rusty's father to pay for the costs was a better than earning money and fixing up the mansion themselves as suggested by the MC.

#### **Main Character**

Tommy and the MC had a rocky relationship to start with. Tommy is the pledge 'father' of the MC and at times was neglectful of his role. Tommy however does try in his own way of making up from time to time such as taking the MC out for drinks and thanking him when the MC covers Tommy's shift at the Pink Rose.

### **Tri-Alphas**

Tommy has a horrible relationship with the Jocks/Tri-Alphas and has embroiled the entire DIKs fraternity in his feud with them. This stems from him sleeping with the Jocks' President's Dawe's promiscuous girlfriend Arieth and them beating Tommy up in retaliation.

#### **Dawe**

Of all the Jocks, Tommy's hatred is unquestionably the strongest for their President, Dawe. These two aggressively loathe each other and will immediately antagonize each other and want to fight upon eye contact. This stems from Tommy having sex with Arieth as described above.

### **Other**

#### **Quinn**

Tommy and Quinn have similar personality types and are shown to be good friends. Quinn seems to enjoy winding up Tommy for fun. Whilst their relationship is strained at various points in the story, each is shown to care about the other. There are even hints that Tommy may harbor stronger feelings for Quinn than friendship, though it seems likely this is unrequited. As Vice Presidents of their respective houses, they appear to meet regularly to plan events, and their friendship is one of the reasons that the DIKs and HOTs have grown closer up to the point where the game's story begins (and why the DIKs and HOTs don't mix as frequently when the Tommy/Quinn friendship briefly breaks down).

Quinn is also Tommy's drug dealer during early episodes, though this arrangement is one of the casualties of the fallout from Quinn's decision to ditch the DIKs' evaluation party without telling Tommy. During the pair's confrontation about this later, and in the face of Quinn's refusal to apologize, Tommy says Quinn doesn't mean anything to him anymore, but only after first saying that he had previously considered her an even closer friend than Rusty. After he storms out Quinn is shown to be visibly moved by the argument, and despite her public front it is clear that she values Tommy's friendship. In Episode 9 the pair appear to reconcile their differences in the face of a common threat: the return of Vinny.

#### **Vinny**

From what we know of Tommy and Vinny's relationship when the latter was still a DIK, it seems the pair did not get on and clashed regularly over control of the frat. Both "alpha male" types, a number of flashbacks show them arguing, with one in particular heavily implied to be physical.

When Quinn cuts him off from his regular drug supply, Tommy turns in desperation to Vinny as the other main drug dealer in the area, a decision that seems set to have major consequences.

## Trivia

Tommy is named after one of Dr PinkCake's original Discord server admins, Tommy.
