Jim is very shy, he is not the most confident or outgoing kind of person prefering to be alone or with people he is close with then with others.
Despite this Jim is anything but an easy pushover. He is able to stand up for himself and others no matter what and even when it seem like it is impossible, Jim is willing to go to any lengths to get achieved something.
Jim faces his own personal demons. He suffers from depression and other serious mental health problems. Being in the war is making things worse
- Love every kind of flower. He especially loves the Red Poppy and the Pitcher Plant.
- He terrified of huge bodies of water (Thalassophobia) especially the idea of swimming in it, he can’t very well
- He addicted too good o “demon rum” he will gladly go as far as doing a trench raid for some extra ram ration.
- He despises being call “little deadly coward” by fellow soldiers .
- bit on the thinner side but not a stick?
- always has a single poppy that Carl had given to him .
- Artillery scarring on his right arm.
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Jim is the youngest of two other brothers, Carl and Lucas. Jim along with his older brothers would have to eventually run away from their home of Halifax to Newfoundland.
Unlike his older brother, Jim found it the hardest to adapt to this new life. He found it incredibly difficult to fit in with anyone and thanks to his previous life in Nova Scotia, he was dealing with his own demons. Despite this as time went in he started to love his new life in Newfoundland and discovered his love for every type of flowers, typically planting a bunch around his and his brother home.
When Newfoundland found itself entering the Great War, Jim opted to stay out of it as he didn’t see himself becoming a soldier. For a good year Jim was alone as Carl and Lucas signed up. Eventually due to pressure from Carl and locals constantly asking why Jim was “not doing his part” he ended up joining the war.
Jim would be sent to the Western front under the Newfoundland regiment with his older brother, it seems like it would be fine despite the horrors of war. But with time going on. Jim felt himself going in a downwards spiral and then it came crashing down on July 1st, this day changed Jim forever. He clearly developed “shell shock” but nothing was done to help Jim effectively, he found himself suffering from a horrific nightmare and seeing things he rather wished he didn’t. To add on to this he found himself being transferred to the Canadian Expeditionary Force despite technically not living in Canada anymore. Now he find himself in an endless cycle of trying to fight what little sanity he has left.
