Character's Personality: Incredibly bright and confident, Jim could be good-natured and friendly, if he had reason to. He doesn't, though – in fact, rather used to being let down, Jim often shows himself as dispassionate and uncaring, preferring to push others away and act detached than to be let down again. He's very distrusting of new people, and very skeptical about certain subjects.
Jim is, in short, a prodigy. He's intelligent, though he doesn't show it much, and often learns things with thorough accuracy after seeing them just once. He loves building and flying things, especially solar surfing (windsurfing and skydiving combo). He's bold, brash, and not afraid to say what needs to be said. He hates being thought of as a hero, but also hates being thought of as a delinquent. He's very hot-headed and quick to act when he's insulted. Despite all of this, he is loyal and caring to people who earn his trust.
Character's History: Enchanted by stories of the notorious Captain Flint and his ruthless band of space pirates, Jim has dreamed of Treasure Planet, the legendary treasure trove of all of Flint’s spoils, since he was a boy. However, his world turned upside down when his father suddenly left his mother and him in the dust, and Jim lost his purpose in the world, becoming only a little short of a delinquent.
Everything changed when a mysterious man named Billy Bones crash-landed outside of the family tavern. Before dying, Bones left a small sphere in Jim’s possession. The sphere turned out to be a map to Treasure Planet, which sparked a great adventure to find the legendary treasure trove. Jim embarked on the RLS Legacy with a motley crew of shipmates and Dr. Doppler, an old friend of the family. He met John Silver, the cook, and the two bonded like father and son. However, Silver turned out to be a pirate, who launched a mutiny to take command of the ship and find Treasure Planet for himself. Doppler, Captain Amelia, and Jim escaped to Treasure Planet, where they befriended the malfunctioning robot, B.E.N., who knew Captain Flint in life.
They discovered the treasure with the rest of the crew, only to find that it was booby trapped. Silver sacrificed the treasure to save Jim, and everyone fled to the Legacy. Jim pilots the ship out of harm’s way, and Amelia, impressed with his skills, recommends him to the Interstellar Academy, and imprisons the pirates. Jim catches Silver trying to escape, and lets him go. The two part on mutual terms, and Silver gives Jim his shapeshifting pet, Morph.

Jim Hawkins swaggered down Main Street, USA. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the buildings. In fact, he was a bit puzzled at the entire place. Where were the ships? The robots? The wide variety of aliens? Everything was so low-tech. And the food was pretty weird. Jim looked down to his… what was it called… pretzel. It was pretty good, but he had never seen anything like it back home…
Yet, the place had a sort of charm to it. Sure, the place was like a story book, but everyone here smiled and seemed to be having a good time. There were people in oversized costumes running around, children shrieking and laughing, and countless amusement rides, though none could compare to solar surfing, and the place generally gave off an air of imagination. This was the sort of place where you could feel like a kid again.
Jim finished off his pretzel, a smile escaping his lips. Maybe he could get used to this…
