History[]
Born in 1972, Thomas "Tommy" Jarvis, was born to Mrs.Jarvis and Mr.Jarvis and the younger sibling to Trish Jarvis, Tommy was born in New Jersey, and resided with his family as residents of Crystal Lake, and growing up Tommy took interest in making masks and making interesting inventions, he would often make these things as a hobby, his father and mother were seemingly seperated and he lived with his mother full-time, it was until 1984, at the age of 12 whereas the horrid events occurred that would change his very lifetime.
Years after Jason's defeated by his hands, Tommy spent most of his teens in a mental institution, being watched over by facilitators, with Nurses and Doctors doing their best to treat his PTSD, but in 1989, when he was 17-years old, Tommy was purposely removed form their care and sent to the Pinehurst Youth Development Center, where an incident involving two residents that day, Vic Faden and Joey Burns, a murder that set off a kill-chain of personal and delusional vendetta, as the patients and surrounding residents paid with their lives, Tommy was forced to face his trauma, or so he believes to be Jason Voorhees, after a fight in the Barn that left him momentarily unconscious, he saved the two surviving members of the murder-spree, causing the death of another, this time it wasnt Jason, it was Roy Burns, who sought out vengeance against them when his Son, Joey was brutally murdered by Vic, this would be known as the Pinehurst Youth Massarce, and as Tommy is sent to the hospital, he was in a state of delusion and almost killed one of the survivors before snapping out of it.
A year later, in 1990, now 18-years old, Tommy and his accomplice, Allen Hawes, had snuck out of the mental institution as Tommy found out Jason was never cremated and that his corpse was at Eternal Peace Cemetery, they drove from their hospital to New Jersey where Tommy planned on settling things once and for all, it was an act to stop the plague of his PTSD over Jason.
Personality[]
As a young 12-year old boy Tommy was like any other child his age, he was innocent, energetic, and loving, this however was until after the events of the Crystal Lake Massacre by the hands of Jason Voorhees, these eventful moments had changed Tommy's entire personality due to PTSD, he was more serious at 17 years old, as he was suffering from severe nightmares and night terrors, he had nightmares of Jason Voorhees returning from beyond the grave, he was more erractic, and tried to forget about the events at Crystal Lake, this didnt help at Pinehurst Youth Development Center, as Roy Burns help fuelled Tommy's fears killing off people, and killing the copycat, furtherer caused mental attacks, as a year later at 18-years old Tommy had stood his principles and always thought Jason Voorhees was never truly dead, with this paranoid mindset that lead to the indirect re-creation of the massarce that mentality scarred him as a child, a resurrection of Jason Voorhees.
