Tom Fawkes

"The King of Comedy"
Tom Fawkes is a good friend of TRG who had their start on YouTube making Smash Bros. Brawl machinimas and later TRG-related animations through Source Filmmaker. Having theatre experience, he is very good at improv and can make you smile and laugh in an instant!

On both YouTube and Twitch, he is known for eccentric gameplay with a mix of roleplay and chaos. When not playing single-player, he regularly collabs with other streamers in his circle, including but not limited to Jon, ChilledChaos (and the rest of the "Derp Crew"), and VTubers chibidoki and Haruka Karibu to name a few. He is also a part of the Disc Only podcast.

He debuted as a VTuber twice: As a joke, he had a TomFace VTuber model for April Fools 2021, then later getting a full Live2D model on September 22, 2023.

Trivia

 * Tom has been caught up in the gender-bender shenanigans of the Jonaverse, mainly involving Fire Emblem Awakening's Tharja.
 * Tom himself confirmed this during a round of Fortune Street with Jon and the other main members of The Runaway Guys, which Tom went on to win as Jessica from Dragon Quest VIII (his second win in a row, having also taken the previous board in Jessica's debut after going bankrupt on Starship Mario as Slime).
 * Tom's personal YouTube channel includes several episodes of a series called Custom Smash, in which he and at least three other players test an original map of his design. The usual guests are Jon, Stephen Georg and his wife Mallory, and Josh Jepson.
 * Jon's connection with Rosalina may have originated from this series, as Jon had a tendency to win any match he played as Rosalina despite not knowing how to play as her.
 * Another game that often appears on his channel is Mario Kart 8, where Tom is shown to be so dominant he can even beat fellow Mario Kart 8 dominator Matt Bragg of Achievement Hunter.
 * Tom mentioned on a Disc Only episode that if he had a VTuber model that he would be a wizard. This would eventually come true, being heavily influenced by the design of Robin from Fire Emblem. It also serendipitously has a red hood like Lord Dona'tor's.
 * His model was previewed on his Patreon months before debut.
 * Tom's had a few VTuber interactions of his own:
 * Because of their connection with Jon and Reese, Haruka quickly became friends with Tom due to them both having theatre experience and similar gaming interests. Their first collab together was for the first Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC wave alongside some other TRG friends (which they both tend to join for in subsequent drops). Haruka would later help Tom play Genshin Impact for the first time after not touching it for several years. This all happened before Haruka debuted into VShojo and was still an indie.
 * Tom has been on record saying one of his favorite VTubers to watch is chibidoki. They have collabed before, the first of which being a game of Among Us, and they've raided each other at least once.
 * Tom was also in Ironmouse's invitational Fortnite tourney less than a week before Tom's VTuber debut. He had no prior experience with the game.
