[spoiler=summary]a bad boy. simple as that. no, he doesn’t murder. he’s not an assassin. he’s just a delinquent and someone who has no regards for the law whatsoever. whatever he wants, he gets (or at least tries to before getting in trouble).

even though his morals are questionable, he’s a good mentor and extremely loyal friend. if someone messes with you, then you’d better believe that he’ll come to your defense. if you want to learn the art of theft or how to properly gamble? ask him. if you want to learn how to better yourself? maybe don’t.

he’s a charmer, especially with the ladies. sometimes he flirts because he legitimately wants that booty and sometimes he does it just for fun. he’s never serious about settling down, though. he’s a natural heartbreaker and romance is no bueno for him. he’ll have short-term “girlfriends”, but only to dump them off when he’s bored with them.

tommy is a funny guy, both humorous and amusing to be around (that is, if you can stand his sarcastic sense of humor). he often pokes fun at people, not caring if what he says is insensitive or not. he just likes pushing buttons and getting a rise out of people. tommy just likes to have drinks and a good time with friends.

tommy is an attention-whore honestly. if you start paying attention to someone else more than him, he’ll get irritated. he’ll start becoming passive aggressive. maybe he’ll even confront you about it. he’s cocky and constantly likes to show off, he’s like a fucking peacock lmao

he’s aggressive. you have a problem with him? he’ll tell you to say it to his face, but better be careful. he won’t hesitate to rush you or sock you in the nose. tommy is extremely volatile, preferring to fight it out rather than to reason. it was how he was raised; if someone punched you, then you punched back even harder. even if you aren’t looking for a fight, tommy can get extremely mad if you piss him off.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=in-depth personality]tommy isn't the most pleasant guy to know. tommy doesn't try to be an asshole, but his blunt, egotistical ways can make him come off like that. he's notorious for flinging himself into arguments and fights recklessly and he isn't afraid to speak his mind if he has a problem with something or someone. he also strongly believes in standing up for himself or others to defend honor and reputation, so don't expect to get away with insulting him. he's stubborn, bold, and always determined to prove himself, whether he's trying to boost his confidence or show his strength to other people. he is more of a leader than a follower and likes to have control, so he will hardly pay mind to anyone else's advice and will act on his own accord.

if he doesn't have any problems with you, he won't give you much trouble (except for "harmless" teasing). he likes to mess with his friends and loosen them up by partying and having fun. he may come off as annoying and the typical troublemaker. to those that he doesn't like, however, he won't be afraid to insult them or give them the cold shoulder. if you have wronged him or his friends, then he will probably hate your guts. he doesn't forget anything. if you've done him wrong, then he'll hold a grudge. if he owes you, then he owes you. that doesn't mean that he'll do the right thing and act on it, though.

tommy is often sly and eager to get what he wants. he's sometimes selfish and will do the wrong thing which will get him in trouble. he is also charming and he's flirtatious especially around females. though he'll do whatever it takes to get someone to go to bed with him, he is hesitant about commitment. therefore, he'll toy with whoever he wants, putting on this manipulative act. getting up close and real personal with him takes trust and respect. tommy is independent and likes to think that he looks after his friends, not the other way around. therefore, he may get uncomfortable when shown compassion and caring actions (which he dismisses as "sappy", "mushy" stuff). he means well, most of the time, but with the way he was raised, you wouldn't think of him being anything else than a street guy.[/spoiler]
