Tommy Tate is a character role-played by Zerkaa.
Overview
Tommy Tate, widely known as Tommy T, is a British road-man who fled to Los Santos to start fresh, after living a life of crime in South-East London, UK. Tommy has not spoken much about his life in England, simply saying that he had to leave as it was 'getting too hot for him'.
When he first came to Los Santos, he said that he wanted to leave the life of crime behind him and tried to stay clean. He managed to keep his record clean for 25 days. He had a close call with losing his clean record after only a few days in the city when he cut off Stanky Leg's ear, however he was able to escape the charge as there was no proof that he had committed the crime.
Tommy formed a gang along with Adam Ababwa, Dwayne Flores, Remy Brown, Moses Khan and Eli Porter, known as The Mandem. Together, The Mandem have committed numerous minor and major crimes since their formation. Tommy often serves as a voice of reason within the group due to him being the most level headed. The Mandem see each other as family and have said numerous times that they would do anything for each other. Despite originally saying that they would not have a leader, Tommy was officially appointed as the leader on August 19, 2021.
When The Mandem wanted to hit a bank, Tommy decided to learn how to hack. They purchased 15 practice laptops from The Game Masters and Tommy used all of them. He was able to hack four of them in a row, however they didn't purchase anymore practice laptops for quite a while. Several weeks later, Tommy purchased a new practice laptop for $15,000. He used it for the three days and managed to successfully hack the system nine times in a row. The day after the laptop expired, Tommy tried to get another one. He was contacted by The Game Masters, but he took too long to get to the location so when he arrived, he found a note saying 'GAME OVER'. The next day, Tommy tweeted Ready Player One again. After a few hours, he received a call saying that he had been given another chance. He received a ping and apologised for not arriving the previous day. They told him that he could still purchase laptops, but warned him never to be late again.
He is a very loyal person to those who have helped him. Due to Abdul giving him a tour of the city on his first day and giving him a job, he has said that he will never sell his taxi, even though he is no longer a taxi driver and now no longer drives it. He has also proved that he is willing to go to great lengths for his close friends and will help them in any way that he can.
Tommy has got a deep voice, which Dwayne said would work well on a drill song. Dwayne wrote a song for him and Tommy to perform called 'Tommy T', which was released as part of Dwayne's 'Golden Boy' EP. The song became incredibly popular, and is currently the most streamed song in Los Santos with over 9.9 million plays across all platforms. It was the first song to go Diamond in Los Santos. Despite having only made one song, Tommy is the second most streamed music artist in Los Santos, with the only artist to have more streams being Dwayne. The release of the song has made Tommy very famous within the city. Tommy is also very recognisable due to the lime green puffer jacket or lime green 'Strapz' vest that he almost always wears.
Tommy is the co-owner of four website domains. Along with Stacey, he purchased the eBuy, Gofundem, Sportsbook and Casino domains. They each paid for 50% of the websites, paying $23,500 each. After having a meeting with Ramee and Dean Watson about the Sportsbook website, Ramee gave him the $10,000 he spent on the website back.
Tommy has often said that he feels as though he is cursed. Because of this, the term 'The Tommy T Curse' is often thrown around between The Mandem. He believes he is cursed due to his unusually bad luck. He once span the wheel in the casino upwards of twenty times and only won on three of the spins. He frequently gets unlucky with jobs, such as when he wanted to hit Paleto and the Jewellery store but they had both been hit already. He has accidentally been punched and knocked down numerous times by people that weren't even aiming for him and he has been knocked off of bikes and sent through windshields by locals driving into him.
When Cerberus were preparing for the 'Corpo Kid' TV show, where they would hold a series of challenges with the winner becoming the CEO of Dean Watson's hotel, Ramee recommended Tommy as a contestant. He was then interviewed and made it through to the second day. On the second day his team won the first round, putting him through to the second round. During the second round, Tommy was tasked with putting together an event. At the end of the round, the contestants each had to vote for the three people that they thought least deserved to be in the final. Tommy, Dean, and Bunny received the least votes, and Cerberus decided to use their 'Golden Ticket' to bring Lexi back. In the final, Bunny won the first round, and Dean placed last. Dean was then told that he had to eliminate either Tommy or Lexi, and he chose to send Tommy into the final. After the final round, Cerberus told them that it was down to Tommy and Bunny to pick a winner. They were told to either pick 'Divide', where they would share the CEO role, or 'Conquer', where they would take it for themselves. They both chose 'Divide' and both became CEO's of the Diamond Casino Hotel.
Abdul (The Mayor of Los Santos at the time) came to Tommy one day with a plan to extort the mayors office for $1.3m by using a loophole where the mayor gets a certain amount of money to put towards personal housing, Tommy wasn't sure about the finer details about how they would go about doing this so he brought in Robert Locksley, at the time the Diamond Casino's CFO, to ensure that Dean Watson and Cerberus would be okay with the whole situation and be secure on the legal side of everything. They managed to pull it off initially however the police quickly caught on to the transaction and started questioning Cerberus, the hotel owners, then Dean, Lang and Leslie questioned Bunny and Tommy about the situation separately where they found out that Locksley had kept it from the group potentially jeopardising all of Cerberus's businesses. Tommy and Bunny both got $130,000 from the transaction as hotel commission. After a trial for embezzlement, Abdul was impeached, however he did not received any fines. After the trial, the money remained in the holding account. Locksley was also fired from the hotel.
