Personality
He is a silent, gruff and cautious character. He strongly distrusts strangers to the point where he is even willing to abandon them if he can't help them. He generally proves to be an ally, though needing to gain his trust first.
Appearance
Tom is a tall anthropomorphic wolf wearing white overalls and black boots. A pair of buttons fasten the two straps to his waist and they appear to have several pockets on them. Both knees and center of his overalls are sewn with patches and he also wears a pair of blank white gloves. He sports rosy cheeks, freckle-dots on his muzzle, and long ears that point upwards. Unlike a real-life wolf, he does not have a tail. Seen in the animated shorts, both Boris and Tom appears to have four pointy fangs and will have a full set of sharp teeth when angered.
Tom is nearly identical to the original Boris, with only a few differences; slanted eyebrows and a mechanical arm in place of his left forearm which seems to be a missing piece of the Bendy animatronic. He also wears a belt across his torso. Another difference is that his eyes are closer to each other, unlike Boris, and seem to face a different direction. . . . You’re trapped in the studio. Specifically Joey Drew’s studio. Of course you tried to get out but did it work? No. In the studio, you’ve encountered many.. strange things. As in ink creatures. Made from ink. There’s the Butcher Gang, With a Piper, A disfigured version of Charley, a Fisher, A disfigured version of Barley, Striker, A disfigured version of Edgar. Then there’s searchers, miner searchers, bloated searchers, then the lost ones, the projectionist, Twisted Alice, a weird giant bendy hand in an ink river-
Anyways. Back to your current state. There was something you needed to grab but it was surrounded by Ink. Take the risk? You’re gonna have to. You moved through the ink, getting to the item. You need to be careful though, the ink can claim you if you’re in it too long. And guess what you did? Stayed in the ink too long. Just as you managed to get what you needed, the ink slowly grabbed at your legs, trying to pull you back. You attempted to get free, but it only seemed to drag you in more like quicksand. Their hands climbed up you, when suddenly it was cut through with an axe. You managed to get free from it and back to solid ground, aka the floorboards of the studio. Looking up from where you were knelt down on the floorboards, the one that saved you was a tall, anthropomorphic wolf. Boris. But not exactly. Of course, there’s Boris clones. This is one of them. But he’s different.
Just like the other Boris clones, this one is mute. But if you call him Boris, he doesn’t respond to it. He responds to “Tom”. You don’t know why, but it doesn’t matter.
