Tom Gurney

Tom Gurney is a character in Bully, and is a member of the Bullies at Bullworth Academy. He was voiced by Connor Paolo.

Character Description
Tom is a medium sized Bully with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. He speaks in a strong New York accent. Tom is the only bully who wears a t-shirt under his school shirt. In the winter, he wears his white school shirt open with the sleeves rolled up over top of a dark blue turtleneck, as well as fingerless black gloves, and a grey urban hat. He has pimples across his forehead and his most distinguished feature is his permanent black right eye. In addition, he has a small scar that runs through his right eyebrow.

Characteristics
Despite being as much of a bully as the rest of the clique, Tom seems to be more mature than the others. Some of his dialogue indicates that doesn't enjoy being a bully as much as the rest of the Bullies and feels guilty about what he's done to others. It's also indicated that he cares about his friends quite a bit. He's paranoid and says that he can't trust anyone, believing that everybody is out to get him and frequently claims that everyone picks on him, though he may be imagining it. He apparently steals panties for Mr. Burton, and hopes that he will get to keep a pair soon.

Tom can be heard saying "I heard that the new kid keeps hassling the Preps, that's cool. I hate the Preps". There is no explanation on why this is though.

Tom's hobby seems to be watching horror movies. A few of his comments indicate that he suffers from double vision, possibly a side-effect of whatever gave him his black eye. For some reason he really hates wearing shoes. This may be a reference to Tom Sawyer, who also hated footwear.

Role in game
Tom only appears in the mission The Setup as backup. He is inexplicably absent from all other missions involving the Bullies, and he has no cutscene appearances at all or any mission-specific audio. However, since he has no mission specific behavior for Welcome to Bullworth, he is the only Bully who will respawn in that mission if the player attempts free roam instead of quickly completing it.
