## **Personality:**

Tom's personality is not that well explored in the original creepypasta, but in the 2017 Reboot/Remake it describes him as kindhearted.

Most of the info related to him are popular headcannons.
Tom is most likely a "dumbass" and a "crybaby", since he makes bad decisions even if he was warned beforehand, was not worried for his "best friend" being missing for about two weeks, didn't take Kyle's note seriously and overly dramatizes the experiences he had in over detail.

But after what happened in Sonic.EXE, Tom might have gain depression, since in Round 2 it's revealed that he committed suicide; with X influence, made Tom fell that Kyle's, Tails', Knuckles' and Dr. Robotnik's death were his fault, and he could not save them.

## **Biography:**

Not much is known about his past, so we'll skip to the creepypasta.

* Sonic.EXE Creepypasta / The Sonic.EXE Murders

The original Sonic.EXE story centers on **Tom**, a young man who was a big fan of *Sonic the Hedgehog*, especially the older games. He claimed that he had not played any glitched or hacked games before, though he admitted that he did not want to after an experience he had.

He then proceeded to recount his experience, saying how he received a CD and an accompanying letter from his friend Kyle, begging him to destroy the disc before it's "too late" and not to never play the game.

Ignoring his friend's warnings, **Tom** played the game and began to encounter odd, somewhat disturbing phenomena, from a title card featuring an evil-looking Sonic with bloody eyes and glowing pupils with a wide smile to the presence of a file select screen similar to that of the one in *Sonic the Hedgehog 3*, with a red background and chilling music playing.

As he picked the only available character Tails and began the first stage titled "HILL ACT 1", **Tom** continued to find more evidence that there was something wrong with the game, namely the copious amounts of dead animals, all murdered in gruesome ways and eventually encountering Sonic at the end of the level, standing completely still and with his eyes closed.

When Tails attempted to get his attention during a cutscene by tapping him on the shoulder, Sonic's eyes opened, identical to the evil Sonic on the title screen before cutting to black, with the message "Hello. Do you want to play with me?" In the next level, "HIDE AND SEEK", **Tom** witnessed Sonic chasing Tails, the former flying despite an inability to do so without a Super form, before disappearing, teleporting in front of the distraught fox and killing him and cutting to black. Tails screams as his throat is slit; a splash of blood is seen coming from his neck.

Shocked, **Tom** reads the next message, "YOU'RE TOO SLOW. WANT TO TRY AGAIN?". After playing as Knuckles and losing a supposed "boss battle" with Sonic, with Knuckles dying the same way as Tails, **Tom** decided to take a break from the game.

However, his rest was plagued by nightmares featuring the corrupted Tails and Knuckles, and the demonic Sonic, with him waking in a cold sweat. Returning to the game, **Tom** picked Dr. Robotnik from the file select screen and continued with the game.

At the end of the level, Sonic teleported in front of Robotnik, before the screen cut to red static. Then, an "authentic" image of Sonic appeared on the screen, with the words "I AM GOD!". This Sonic had bleeding black and red eyes, a very wide grin, and sharp bloodstained teeth. After the game ended, **Tom** turned around to find, to his utter horror, a bloodied Sonic plush doll on his bed. **Tom**'s fate is ambiguous (though the official sequel reveals that **Tom** committed suicide to escape from the entity using Sonic's likeness). Kyle was likely Sonic.EXE's previous victim.
