Past History

Hometown: Small town outside of New Vegas. A little farm he lived on with his mother. 

Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: His mother dated often and most men were kind to Tommy. Though at 16 one man was not so kind to him and took advantage of him while his mother was away. This was also the first time Tom would kill a man. These events traumatized him greatly and eventually lead to him abusing drugs. 

Biggest role model: Joshua Graham

Why?  Not having a father growing up Tom was often confused on what kind of man he should be. When he travels back to Zion at 20 Graham became the father he always needed. Taught him the things he needed to know about life and helped the young man overcome from both Tom's sexual abuse and drug abuse. 

Backstory:  Tommy was born to Ryiann Gunn in Utah. His mother had been traveling while still pregnant and was on her last limb when the tribe known as the "Dead Horses" took her in and helped her with her difficult birth. They did not stay long. As soon as she was well enough to travel again Ryiann returned to New Vegas to start a small farm with her baby boy. Tom's father was never seen around and never discussed. Though his mother often brought many men around their little farm Tom was always the most important. He loved his mother greatly though most often spoke ill of her because of her ways. At 16 his mother had yet another boyfriend yet this one was different. He was cold and often gave Tom odd glances. When Ryiann left to run an errand in town  the man took this as a chance to both beat and sexually assault the young man. This carried on when ever Ryiann was away. After a month of abuse Tom had had enough. He grabbed the bat his mother kept near the door way and attacked this man beating him to death. When Ryiann had returned home that evening her son was already gone and left her a note explaining the situation. He moved into Freeside and took odd jobs fromsining in the "Atomic Wrangler", doing repairs at "Mick and Ralphs",or traveling with others as a hired gun. Living in Freeside Tom eventually found his way to drugs. This gave him the release he thought he needed. Though waking up in the "Mormon Fort" being revived from near death made Tom realize this was not what he needed. He returned to his mother who told him stories of Zion and the Dead Horses tribe. At 20 Tom gathered his things and set out to return to his birthplace hoping that perhaps Zion was the place where he could find his trueself.
