Personality

You know that kid that sits by the window in class, staring outside like he’d rather be anywhere but there? That’s Jim Hawkins in a nutshell. Never one for enclosed spaces or being tied down in any way, shape, or form, Jim would much rather be out and about, getting his hands dirty as he works on a new project. He’s what one could call a free spirit; likes to do things his own way on his own agenda. Jim has a real mind for technology and machinery, a hobby that he constantly is doing/thinking about. (Like his mother always says, he’s extremely open-minded and sees things outside the box.)

Jim comes off as a real rough and tumble kind of guy but really he’s just looking for his place. He had a hard time fitting in while in high school and often feels like he’s on the outside looking in considering he’s not much of a talker. (Unless, of course, you get him going on a subject he loves. Then..well, good luck getting him to shut up in that case.) Jim doesn’t have any real close friends, preferring to spend his time pouring over some piece of machinery over going to a soccer game or some other social event.

Biography

Jim was not always the way he is today. No, see, he’s merely a product of his environment. A happy boy turned into a solemn teenager. Most of this can be blamed on the fact that when he was ten years old, Jim’s father left him and his mother for unknown whereabouts. See, Mr. Hawkins was a fisherman, Jim’s idol from a very young age, and the sea was his life and as such, he devoted his whole being to it. Jim didn’t understand, nor would he ever; there wasn’t much a ten year old could do after all.

From that day forward, Jim was a different person in a sense. He still went to school even if he didn’t fit in at all, and helped around the house with whatever his mother asked of him, but there was a lingering sadness there, a lingering bitterness that just wouldn’t seem to go away. It only seemed to get worse once he entered High School and the young Hawkins soon devoted all his free time to hanging around the docks, watching fishermen bring in their hauls and learning the ways of ship life. He was also natural when it came to machinery and technology and the boy quickly found himself helping out the crews; unloading and loading, repairing and disassembling whatever was tossed his way. It became a hobby, no, an obsession. School merely became something that he promised his mother he’d do while his life down at the docks became what he wanted. He had no plans of going to University once done with High School due to lack of interest and the cost. His mother was upset but knew that she couldn’t force him to do something he had no desire to do.

On the day of his graduation, Jim was hired as full time dock help and it was because of this that Jim moved out of his mother’s house and found a cheap place to live in the Slums, having never really been that scared of the place. Sure, his mother offered to loan him enough money so he could get a nice apartment (mostly because she herself was afraid of the Slums) but he refused, not wanting to take from her anymore then he needed. (The Inn she owned and ran was doing fairly well for business but it was the principle of the matter.) He had plans, he had goals and no matter how much work it took, he’d prove that he could make something of himself.
