History
Becoming a Neutral
In a lengthy flashback, Tom's origins are shown as being good drinking buddies with Sylvester, Coyote, and Fudd. They all talk about the various animals they try to hunt down, which they apparently have been doing for quite some time. In a drunken stupor, they eventually wander into a church where they gain necromancy powers, becoming "Neutral". Tom loses some of his lifespan upon the death of Porky due to caring too much.
After getting his powers, Tom attempts to kill Jarry by poisoning his milk and claiming that the milk is amazing, luring him in. Jarry drinks from the milk and dies. Tom attempts to consume Jarry, but is unable to and accidentally discovers his necromancy powers, animating the corpse.
Tails Gets Trolled
Tom makes his first appearance in Chapter 8: the neutral's, where he explains, alongside Coyote and Sylvester, how they became Neutrals. He is eventually enlisted by Silver to help fight The Trolls. He goes to attack the Troll base, and demonstrates that he has collected the corpses of many characters beyond just Jarry to use in battle, most of them dogs, such as Spike who usually antagonized him in the original Tom and Jerry cartoons. He also has animated Granny, the owner of Sylvester, for little reason other than to annoy him. He fights alongside Sylvester and his minions against unnamed trolls, but eventually encounters Troll Face. Troll Face fires a bullet at Tom, but Sylvester shields him from the shot, dying in his place. In shock, Tom loses a portion of his lifespan due to caring too much about Sylvester's death and begins to bleed from his nose. Before Troll Face can shoot him too, Silver appears and saves Tom, while Troll Face flees after some trolling.
Personality
Tom can appear to be loud and emotional but truly cares for his allies. As seen in the flashback of Porky, he attempts to cheer Porky up after his wife leaves him and later opposes the idea of leaving Porky behind on the battlefield of Christians and Satanists. He begins to cry when his Sylvester is shot and killed despite needing to maintain a neutral state of emotions, losing some of his life-time in the proces.
Tom is also closely related with Sylvester, often butting heads with him and engaging in friendly banter with him. Sylvester has constant arguments with Tom, as they compete to see who can kill the small animals they chase after first. Sylvester kills Tweety first, doing so before even the flashback begins, earning Tom's envy. They apparently got into a bar fight over this before, and come close to doing so again during the flashback. While Tom eventually kills Jarry, they always find new things to argue about, such as their taste in porn. They also compete to see who can kill the most trolls in the troll base, with Sylvester complaining that Tom "steals his kills".
Abilties
