Physical Appearance
Edit
Tommy Wiseau has stringy, long black hair and brown eyes. His left eye is slightly closed due to a stroke. He wears the attire his character, Johnny, is famous for in the room - besides the tuxedo - which consists of a black tanktop, dark blue button up shirt he keeps open, white pants, black belt, and black shoes.
Personality
Edit
It's hard to determinte Tommy's personality, considering it's hard to tell if he's acting or not. He has a very monotonous voice that conveys all emotion until he gets angry. He's quite popular with people in the Real World, except for people like Nostalgia Critic and his gang. He is friendly to everyone he meets and is very loyal to his girlfriend, Lisa. However, near the end of their relationship, he turns bitter and angry at her, her mother Claudette, and his best friend, Mark.
Abilities
Edit
Tommy doesn't obtain any true abilities until his birthday party is ruined by Mark and Siobhan. His anger escalates to the highest point that it unlocks a secret telekinetic power and superhuman strength. He uses his signature "chicken" call to provoke his enemies, but it usually confuses them.
Biography
Edit
The Quest for YouTube
Edit
Tommy Wiseau meets with the Unification Squad as they come to the Real World, witnessing Shizuo and Izaya having another one of their battles. In this universe, he owns the apartment complex he lives in and even has a park named after Lisa. The introductions are put on hold when he, Mark, and the squad run to the rooftop to fight off drug dealer, Chris-R. Mark and Tommy take Chris-R to the police while Lisa and Claudette yell at Denny for doing drugs. After the events in the apartment, and after the Irate Gamer escapes with AVGN, Tommy gets into a confrontation with the Nostalgia Critic. In the past, the critic had reviewed The Room, giving it a horrible grade. Because of this, the Irate Gamer escaped. To make it up to the squad, he allowed them to stay in the apartment.
Later that week, Tommy returned home to celebrate his birthday. Lisa had told him she was pregnant, but this was all a lie. He discovers her affair with Mark and the two get into a fight. This leads Siobhan to enter and cast Cardians. Tommy retreats to his room after the fighting is done. He catches Lisa talking to Mark over the phone and exposes her lies. Siobhan turns her into the Queen of Hearts Cardian causing Tommy to unlock his powers. When Lisa is returned to normal, Tommy wrecks the entire apartment and everything around it. He can't control his rage or accept the fact Lisa is gone and tries to shoot himself. Luckily, the Unification Squad stop him from doing it. Mark finally sees Lisa for the whore she is and apologizes to his friend. Tommy joins the squad to stop people like Siobhan ruin people's lives.
Tommy is last seen storyline wise in Act III telling the squad about a weird anomaly in Madotsuki's apartment.
