Mentions of suiside and death. 

Ever since the ripe age of 9, when Tommy lost his first life, he knew there was something special about him. In the back of his mind, though mainly in his dreams, he could see and hear copies of himself, but... they'd all act different, or looked different. Some were literal clones of him but with different features, like a bird hybrid, with wings and tail, or a racoon hybrid, others were older (occasionally) or would be from a different place. He couldn't interact with them.

That is, until his second death, that same day.

He started to hear their voices, barely differing from themselves, whenever he wanted to ask them questions. He never got lonely, they even helped him when Wilbur died. They were his best friends, whether they were real or not doesn't matter. It got better when they'd visit during his dreams. It was interesting hearing their stories.

BB!Tommy had 4 friends with whom he had started a faction, one of which betrayed him for Technoblade. He loved how they together were strong enough to kill an admin, the mortal equivalent of a god. AND, occasionally, he would teach him how to fight, so it would increase his chances of beating techno in a fight, like BB!Tommy tried to do so himself. It was an aspiring goal to try and beat, especially since if he could beat Techno, he could beat Dream in a fight too.

Apollo, one of the older versions, was a healer for a syndicate, which involved a lot of his current friends, and Phil, who fought to destroy a hero committee that was essentially a legal villain warehouse, and possibly the government after that. He tended to teach him how to heal someone and how to hurt someone with unusual methods that he'd learnt when he did a healing course to understand his powers more. Tommy didn't really care whether they were villains or not, so long as the other Tommy's weren't being harmed by them.

Glitter!Tommy was an ancient man, who had gotten stuck in a time loop with Dream when he and tubbo tried to Nuke Dream to stop him, as he'd become a monster and went insane, hurting everyone. He healed now, due to how many times he had to go through the same scene of his friends telling him how much they hate him because of what he became, and now they just caused chaos together with the help of glitter. Tommy adored making glitter bombs with glitter boy (as he called him), it was fun and when he used it in the middle of a war, it confused everyone enough for him to get a hit or 2 on Dream once.

Raccoon!Tommy was cool, and taught him the importance of hygiene and washing his food whenever he could (and stealing), while bird!Tommy took him on flights.

Pass!Tommy was a prince, with Wilbur as king (though Phil had run away after Pass!Tommy's mother died) and was one of the only one related to any of the sbi members, with only not being related to Techno, while Theseus was a crowned prince, and next in line to the throne, since he could tell Techno didn't want to be one and it drove Wilbur to run away. They both didn't understand why he'd left Theseus alone, especially since Theseus was heavily dependent on Wilbur. Tommy liked to hang out with them the most in his dreams, as they were the loneliest of them (at the time).

As time flew, and Tommy was exiled with Wilbur, he was glad for the other Tommy's, as they helped him not go insane from boredom.

None of them could believe it when Wilbur blew up L'Manburg and had Phil kill him. For the next few weeks, Racoon!Tommy, Bird!Tommy and him stayed together, mourning together, as the events in each timeline were identical, so they all experienced the same thing.

The only way they had survived the withers techno threw at them was pure sheer luck. They all felt betrayed by Techno, not because he retaliated to the accidental government takeover, but he was mad at Tommy who was barely 10 at the time, for not actually knowing what to do when Wilbur gave him presidency, and then targeted him as the culprit of the accidental (at least on Tommy's part) betrayal by trying to kill him with withers, telling him to die like a hero if he wishes to be one (he didn't. He listened to how bad the heroes could be if anyone of them became corrupted when Apollo explained to a curious Tommy why they were villains, that and they don't actually know a hero with a happy life, unless they retired prematurely or ran away to live a peaceful life), despite Tommy being on 1 life at that point.
