Explanation of storylines on my Tommy Mickens Twitter account.

In regards to my Tommy Mickens Twitter RP account, @punkass_shifter:


My storyline on Twitter mixes a lot of things up and throws material that originated on another roleplay site into all of it, so I figured it’d be a good idea to create a brief blog for the reference of other roleplay partners.
First, the reason why Tommy’s alive is something I’ve been working with in all of my storylines over on Roleplayer.me (where the Twitter storyline has its origins). What I’ve done is add onto the skinwalker ability to make it so that should the skinwalker be killed, the ability will repair the damage and bring them back to life. This is based on the major internal changes that go along with skinwalking on top of the outwards physical change. In regards to how long it takes for the ressurection to occur, this is something I’ve done differently in different storylines. In my main Roleplayer.me storyline, it takes a few days, and if the body has been embalmed prior to resurrection, it will pump out the embalming fluid during the resurrection process. In the storyline on Twitter, it only took a few minutes.
The main storyline on Twitter that can be seen being played out is based off of the one started up between @Sandra__Pelt and I over on Roleplayer.me. We majorly changed up a few things, namely the order of some events as well as the location where Tommy ends up fighting Marcus as well as how the fight ends. The location in our storyline was a bar, and at that time Debbie Pelt was already dead, Sandra having joined her sister’s old pack. In the fight, it mostly remained one-on-one, with Tommy getting hurt pretty badly but winning (this was written before the showdown occurred on the show, when I knew it would happen but didn’t know how it would turn out). Tommy walked out while still skinwalking as Sam, and Sandra (who hated Marcus and was impressed by the result of the fight) followed after him.  Once outside, Tommy shifted back into himself and the internal changes that combined with his injuries to kill him started. He asked Sandra to get him out of there, and she wound up taking him back to her place, where he died. Within a few minutes though, the skinwalking ability resurrected him. Tommy wound up staying with Sandra, an incredibly fucked up relationship blooming between them.
On Twitter, we started things up two months after the first night they met, and ever since then we’ve done some major time skips (recently we skipped ahead five more months so as to move things forward and incorporate some ideas we have. So while with the whole pregnancy thing it may look like Sandra’s only been pregnant for about two weeks and is suddenly ready to pop, that isn’t the case.
Other changes that relate to the Twitter storyline include Sam (@ShifterxSam) being not with Luna but with Jannalynn Hopper (@JannalynnWolf), and Sam having no idea about Tommy’s fight with Marcus or his being dead for a short time. 
I think that explains it as simply as possible. In addition to this main storyline, I have had some side storylines that are counted as separate from it, such as one I’ve been playing out with @CheetoHamby, which also originated over on Roleplayer.me (on that site, I do multiple storylines to accommodate the one-on-one nature of the majority of roleplaying that’s done).
