Health: Karma:

Origin:

As are the vast majority of his fellow Joes, Jimmy is naught but a normal human, lacking super human powers of any stripe. No magic spells, psionic training, or deific edict here - just solid training and an intense knowledge of his environment. Of course, some people think he's psychic...

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Gun Station: occasionally Jimmy will be assigned a heavy fire support role, and is given a Gun Station with which to lay down cover fire. This is basically a heavy duty swivel-mount rocket launching platform that is easily assembled in the field, and is described in its own 'vehicular' entry.

the Joe-Com: this is a new device given to all Joes since the group's reactivation. This high-tech wristband functions as an audio/video transceiver with various other goodies built in to help a soldier on the go, and is described in greater detail in its own equipment entry.

Knife: you never know when you'll need to cut something while on a mission - especially when you're a qualified Airborne Ranger like Jimmy. This knife, made from Incredible (40) m.s. metals, can be used in Jimmy's hands to inflict his Str rank in Edged Attack damage (or cut through items of like m.s.).

Quirks:

(none)

Talents:

Guns: one skill he picked up as a result of his military training, this talent represents Jimmy's mastery of firearms. Whether he's toting a standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifle or pistol, or even a shotgun, Jimmy may use said weapon as though his Agy score was +1 CS in rank.

Martial Arts type B: another military-grade skill, this talent represents Jimmy's ability to defend himself in unarmed combat if necessary. When making bare-knuckled melee strikes (or kicking, head-butting, etc...), Jimmy may resolve such assaults as though his Ftg was +1 CS in rank.

Military / United States: a source of some of his practical skills, this 'background' talent is representative of Jimmy's collected military background and training. It allows him an instinctual knowledge of military protocols and procedures, not to mention the ability to lead fighting folk effectively.

Repair / Tinkering: representing his secondary military specialty, this talent helps Jimmy to fulfill his role as an air conditioning repair man, but can easily be applied to other devices, as well. Jimmy should receive a +1 CS to any attempts to repair or modify an existing device (but not new ones).

Survival: a hunting guide since he was a wee youth, Jimmy has known how to get by in the woods all his life - his military training has only refined these skills. He can easily survive in most any terrains on earth, and is able to scrounge up enough food, water and shelter to subsist almost indefinitely.

Tracking: by viewing the visual cues left behind after someone's passage, Jimmy can make a reasonable attempt to follow them. Broken blades of grass, misplaced pebbles, the depth of a footprint, and even more obscure hints of one's passage allow Jimmy to follow him at his Int +1 CS.

Contacts:

As a new member of the Gi Joe team, Jimmy can naturally rely upon his fellows for assistance should he need it - the Joes look after their own, whether they've been on board for ten minutes or ten years. Furthermore, Jimmy has numerous additional, as of yet unidentified military contacts he can depend on.

Costume:

Jimmy's third Gi Joe uniform is similar to his first two. It consists of a pair of olive drab trousers, a tan vest over an olive drab, sleeveless shirt, a tan helmet, silvery wrist pads, black knee pads, brown leather boots, golden arm bands, various brown holsters, belts and pouches, and a silver hawk medallion.

Personality:

Patient and persistent, Jimmy has the patience to be a world-class tracker. Very good at what he does, Jimmy exudes confidence both on and off the job - so much so, in fact, that half of the Joe team is convinced he's some sort of psychic. He isn't, though; he's just highly skilled and cool under fire.

Story:

Jimmy has spent most of his life away from other people, as he's been groomed from childhood in the ways of wilderness survival by his family. Not that he's anti-social or anything, but Jimmy is very self-reliant, and has learned from a very early age how to take care of himself in most situations.

Seeing that his skills would be quite useful to the military, Jimmy joined up with the Army as soon as he was able, and quickly excelled as an Airborne Ranger. After all, he had a leg up on most others in his line of work, since he'd learned most of what the Army had to teach him before enlisting.

His excellent service record and such eventually saw him being recruited onto the Gi Joe team, who had just defended the entire country from a hostile, insidious takeover by Cobra. Shortly thereafter, Jimmy saw himself sent on advanced reconnaissance missions in dozens of 'hot' locations.

It is suspected that it was on one of these ops that he acquired his intense disdain for Cobra C.L.A.W.S. Rumors persist that, while tracking these villains in some jungle or another, Jimmy was captured by these fellows for a time, but Jimmy isn't talking. Either way, he goes for these fellows first in a firefight.

As such, the enmity is mutual, for those C.L.A.W.S. who've survived his wrath tend to remember just who it was that laid them up for a time, and left them to the tender mercies of Cobra's chief surgeon, Scalpel. This doesn't get in the way of his job, though; Jimmy is a pro through and through.

Though wounded on a 'black ops' mission organized by Duke without the consent of Hawk, Jimmy has since recovered from his injuries and managed to help the team during its ultimate showdown with Cobra, foiling their attempt to take over the world during World War III.

Now that Cobra is seemingly defeated again, it is presumed that Jimmy will hang around and help his teammates pick up that terrorist organization's stragglers, those the Joes haven't captured yet, but this remains to be seen.
