about

first of all, going to link his wiki here for his full backstory. 

tommy is joel’s younger brother. the two of them grew up in texas, and he looked up to his older brother. he earned his love of music from joel, and he wanted to go to college and play football. of course, that never happened.

he remembers the beginning of the outbreak very clearly, and having to flee, driving past people screaming and running for their lives. it was terrifying. 

tommy was with joel when he lost sarah, and for months after watched his older brother become someone he barely knew. he finally had enough, tired of the violence and hurt that joel caused on their way to solace on the east coast. once there, his head was filled with hopeful visions of a peaceful and safe future, and tommy ended up leaving his brother behind to join the fireflies.

but after years of working with them, tommy worried that the fireflies weren’t actually representing something he wanted to be a part of either. he feels lost, unsure of what to do. and then one day wakes up in a strange motel, nestled in the strange town of ivywood.

SO tommy doesn’t remember anything after his few years with the fireflies. he doesn’t know how he ended up here, how he’s years into the past -- but he’s determined to find out. 

other than being forced here against his will and now being stuck here, tommy doesn’t mind ivywood. it’s certainly better than the apocalyptic time he came from. for all he knows, they’re stuck in there for their protection. either way, he’s kind of made a life for himself here. gets jobs working on people’s houses for them and just lives his life.
