From childhood, he was born a Nomad but was taken in by Rouge as her adopted son. Since he was eager to get out and be somebody, despite his Mother's protest, Rouge let him do small gigs for him until he met a guy named Jackie Welles in a gig that h...
Tommy started to wake up as he slowly got up from his nap and knew something was wrong and that he had caught something from the client as Jackie suddenly called.
"Woah, Rocky! You got any sleep? Aa, no matter. Time you got up!" Jackie said enthusiastically.
"Listen, Jackie, caught some neurovirus when I jacked into the client's biomon. Wanna see the Vic, let 'em know what to do with what's goin on with my headache and stomachache." He told him.
"OK, lemme take ya. I brought your ride. Yeah, throw on some threads, meet me downstairs."
He hopped off the bunk bed and carried a half-asleep V into the shower.
"No... don't ya dare."
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!" He shouted enthusiastically as he greeted her with a cold shower
"OH GOD DAMN IT!" she screamed
Skipping to the time after they had showered, Rocky, now with a bruise on his face, had a hard time choosing between threads since he didn't want to look flashy after suggesting he would wear the corporate outfit which is a beast to wear since it is also a corpo outfit AND builds like a fucking tank so he just goes with his "I don't know what to wear other than this" outfit.

He then grabbed his DR-5 Nova and his Rostovic DB2 Satara. When going outside and going downstairs, he was called by Regina Jones, a fixer whom Tommy worked with throughout the years of being around Night City til' now she called to say that more jobs were open for him and he thanked her. He then met Coach Fred who is also buddies with Tommy who showed him his new robotic punching bag and said it's the latest one yet and offered him to get a punch or two in it to test it as Tommy agreed.
Once they get to fight, Tommy changes to Rush Style as he quickly punches the robot and ends the training fight with a charged fist.
"You've got one helluva punch there, Champ! Ever thought of monetizing it? I can arrange a fight or two. Whaddya say?" He offers
"Could get more eddies if we do this." V says
"You mention something about fighting?" He asked The Coach
"Mmm. I've seen you landing blows in the ring. You've got sharp instincts, and a great edge. You can go far, especially if you get chipped. These fights... let's just say they aren't legal. Buuut... very lucrative." He said
"Lucrative for who? You or me?" Tommy asked
"Both of us, I get a small percentage of the total winnings, you know, as your agents. You get the rest." He explained
"Sounds fair." Tommy simply said.
"It's like I said. Great instincts." He stops for a bit then continues
"Fights happen in different parts of the city. You choose where you wanna go, put down your eddies and start swinging. You win, you take home the pot. Manage to drop every last one of 'em, you get a chance to fight in the grand finale. That all clear?" He explained and asked him if he understood what he said.
