three tickets to pair o' dice


The sound of three darklings demonstrating the tune to the teapot song won't be leaving Jim any time soon. Standing there for it had almost been worse than posting it on the netherwork, as far as embarrassment went. It was worth it, Jim thought, with the weight of the gems weighing down his inner jacket pocket. At least he could save someone's crappy inn.

For now, he thought in the voice that wasn't-quite-his. But the bills will pile up and there's nobody there to do what they're supposed to. Just going to be one problem after another... The negativity continued to swirl as he made his way down from the roof by way of the outside railings and balconies. He paused at the bottom, getting a good look into the building's only windows for the first time. Big crowd in there if you squinted past the pipe smoke, and his ears can pick up the some kind of interesting mechanical noise under all the music.

Jim spends a little too long squinting, judging by the way the security guard shifts around to meet his eye with an unfriendly glare. He's like a billion feet tall and looks meaner than some pirates Jim knows. They size each other up in silence, Jim's fists itching with the urge to wipe that stupid glare off the guy's face, before a noise from within draws both their attention. Big n' Ugly turns, taking his eyes off just long enough for Jim to duck under the velvet rope blocking the door and take off into the interior.

"'Scuze me!" He calls as he shoves his way through the crowd, all but bouncing off a few of the patrons. From behind him there's a shout for him to stop, but that just has him moving faster. After what seems like years he spots an escalator and hops on, taking the moving steps two at a time until he makes it to a mezzanine where he can see the entire floor. It's just as crowded and smoky as ever, but it doesn't take long for him to spot the disturbance he heard from the door. Some kind of fight, he thinks. Not what he's looking for here.

Though now that he's slowed down, he isn't sure what he is looking for, here. There's way too many people to guess which ones are Alecia's parents, if they even made their way in here rather than getting jumped or something. Stupid idea.

"Y'know," says a slurring voice, somewhere to Jim's left. Jim looks up at the ceiling, wishing for some patience. He knows when he's about to get dragged into a conversation he's got no interest in. The voice continues: "Y'know, that was a pretty good chase you gave 'em before they..."

Jim glances sideways to see an elderly woman twirling a finger in the air, apparently to demonstrate security being defeated by one flight of moving stairs. The motion sends her tilting, and Jim instinctively reaches out to grab her before she upends herself over the railing onto the gaming floor below.

"Uh, thanks, ma'am-" he tries, making to extract himself from her arms. She clings tighter, instead. Welp. Still less embarrassing than the singing about small china situation, Jim thinks. "Almost took a pretty big fall there, huh?"

"Good thing I had you to look out for me!"

He hums in agreement and pats her shoulder, all the while looking desperately around for someone to take her off his hands (literally.) There is an old guy swaying in their direction, but Jim's not sure he'll be any better. He might end up looking after both of them.

"You're a good boy," she's saying. "Good. Like our daughter... always taking responsibility..."

Jim starts. Her daughter? There's no way. His luck just isn't that good. But maybe...?

"You know, she's probably pretty worried about you." He throws enough judgement in his tone that it might just penetrate through the booze he can smell on her breath. "Taking care of that inn... all alone... it's a lot of work."

The woman bursts into loud, messy tears. Right into his jacket.

Great.

"It's, um. It's okay?" He tries, along with another pat. What would his mother say in this situation? Something comforting, probably. She'd have a handkerchief, at minimum. All Jim's got is an awkward, "there, there?"

"We'd love to," says the man, who's finally made his way over to them. He's loud. Way too loud. "Never meant to leave her alone for this long! But we can't leave until we settle up..."

He looks at Jim, hopefully. Jim thinks about the pouch in his jacket pocket, but no - he's not going to use the money for the inn to keep these two out of trouble. Instead he eyes up a locking cart that a dealer had been using to move chips from the cage to the tables. It's just big enough, he thinks.

"Yeah, forget about that," he tells the old man, over the old woman's sniffles. "I've got a better idea, but you're going to have to be quiet and listen up..."

Permissions Post

PLAYER

NAME: Banah
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] lilpocketninja or PM
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Wildly variable due to shift work. Typically 2-3 tags a day on texting threads, otherwise a tag a day or every few days.
BRACKETS/PROSE: Brackets preferred but I'll match.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Please warn for child abuse, young child (<12) death, strangulation, suicide or suicidal ideation. Please avoid graphically describing vomit. Please avoid terminal illness entirely. No sexual situations with characters under 15.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Jim isn't a very physically affectionate character unless he's very close to someone, but he will appreciate it even if he pretends not to.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Absolutely fine. While Jim rarely throws the first punch, he will try to needle people into it or just not know when to quit talking. He's not very strong but he is a dirty fighter. More serious violence is also perfectly fine.
RELATIONSHIPS: I prefer M/M for Jim, though I will 100% make an exception for cuteness with Disney princesses.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: He's not psychic. Feel free to have your character use psychic powers on them (with discussion about what they'll get!)
MAGICAL INFORMATION: He's not magic and his setting has no magic, so he likely has no natural defenses against it either. Feel free to have your character use magic on him.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: He's a healthy and physically fit teenager with a few random scars from falling off of high places and garage accidents.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None that I can think of. Dads make him sad. He does have some fantasy-historical ideas about certain things (being fine with monarchy and capital punishment have come up the most in RPland), but is not "period" appropriately bigoted about race/gender/etc.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: A must.
THREADHOPPING: I'm in favor!
FOURTHWALLING: Nope.
INTERESTED IN: I like canon-divergence AUs where Jim's character arc doesn't happen in the same way, wether he still manages to get off the "bad path" he was on or goes completely off the rails. Action threads are a lot of fun, rivalries are GREAT, and slow-burn rivals or friends to more is my truest love. Mentorships, both good and bad; I love him being adopted but I'd also love him falling in with a bad guy who's canny enough to use his need for acceptance and recognition against him better than Silver did.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Kinks-wise, bathroom stuff, incest, and spanking are hard no; otherwise I'm up for most things though I would like to discuss more extreme kinks first. I'm not into threads that are just fighting/who's more powerful. I don't really like pure fluff, either; I need some kind of conflict or plot, even if it's a silly one.

MISC INFO

VISUAL: Canon-era Jim is short (5'2-5'3ish), relatively thin, but has large hands and feet. I headcanon as an adult that he gets quite tall and built from being in the navy. He has light blue eyes, auburn hair (& a dumb haircut), and a tan. He's most often seen wearing loose green pants, an oversized long-sleeve linen shirt, black boots, an oversized brown jacket made of soft leather, and a single gold hoop earring. [ 1 | 2 ]
AURAL: Clip - His voice is fairly soft, and squeaks a bit when he's emotional.
DEMEANOUR: Pre-canon and for a good while afterward, Jim presents himself defensively: his shoulders are usually hunched or his arms crossed, he's looking down, and he dresses in loose layers to visually set himself off. Rather than confronting people directly, he mumbles rude stuff under his breath. He rarely smiles at peers or people his own age, though he has a soft spot for young kids and animals. When he's alone (or thinks he is), his face is much more open and expressive.

As he becomes more comfortable with himself, he presents himself as more relaxed and open, and is much more likely to smile and joke.
AGE: 15 (Happy to age up as requested; I have a few different future AUs.)

Jim: Character Growth / App Retrospective

App Retrospective


Jim values freedom and independence, but also yearns for approval and understanding. The first time we see him at his present age, he is alone, riding his solar surfer into a dangerous area, and finding joy and peace in the adrenaline. Throughout the movie, he consistently makes his own decisions - good or bad - without consulting anyone or even speaking. While others are debating in an urgent situation, Jim is acting without pausing for thought. His instincts are good - there are multiple instances where he saves peoples’ lives this way - but it has gotten him into trouble just as often as out of it.

His taciturn nature plays out in other ways, too. He is often seen daydreaming in the background when he should probably be listening, and tends to take a passive stance in conversations that don’t interest him. Jim never uses five words when four will do, and he’s incredibly reserved when talking about himself and his emotions. Around more talkative people, he rolls his eyes and sighs but lets them carry on with occasional encouraging noises rather than interrupting them. When people in authority are angry with him, he holds his tongue rather than argue (though he will rant sarcastically the second they’re out of earshot). In general, his interactions with most people seem to boil down to taking the path of least social resistance and effort. Jim acts to draw as little attention to himself as possible in front of others, down to the way he dresses (all his clothes are oversized) and his body language.

That said, it’s not always the case. Jim is polite to most people and reluctantly respectful of authority figures, but he doesn’t know how to pick his fights when someone else starts them. At all. At one point, Jim decides it’s a good idea to talk back to an anthropomorphic spider three times his size and keep right on insulting him even while the spider is actively dangling him from his claws. He keeps right on going until he’s rescued. That’s with a stranger; with a betrayal from someone close to him turns Jim vicious. This is because it takes a lot to get Jim to truly connect on a personal level, and it’s difficult for him to show true emotional vulnerability. His father abandoned the family a seven years before canon, and as his mother says, “he’s just never recovered.” Jim is angry and resentful both at himself and those around him because he blames himself for his father’s departure and is miserable about it. When something reminds him of that rejection, Jim loses his tempter and pushes back as hard as he can.

It is the trauma of losing his father that drove him for a long time. He thought that he had no future and had no worth because he failed to win his father’s love. The lack of belief in his own future and worth caused him to self-sabotage in his relationships and interactions with others. A lot of Jim’s issues rest on the fact that he absolutely craves approval and affection. We only see him start to unwind when John Silver - Jim’s surrogate father figure - takes Jim under his wing and talks up his potential. Within a few months of coaxing, Jim opens up about his dreams of changing the way people see him and builds a friendship where he can joke and tease. More than anything, Jim wants understanding and for someone to believe in him. He fears being abandoned and never living up to his own potential.

Jim does have a lot of potential. He began building his own solar surfers at the age of eight, and by fifteen can construct a working one out of a broken thruster and a piece of wood from the ship’s deck in a few seconds. He works hard when set to a task, often out of stubbornness, and does whatever he’s doing to the best of his ability. He solves an extremely difficult puzzle box in seconds, just by poking at it, and often intuits the best course of action in a very short period of time. Though he dislikes being taught, he loves to learn; when he wanders off in the middle of a conversation, it’s usually because he’s observing the world around him. New things - languages, species, places, technology - delight him. By his canonpoint, he has gone a long way toward overcoming some of his insecurities and putting himself on a better path, but I don’t think he’s 100% there and all of this is likely to come back given the circumstances of the game.

Ultimately, Jim is a good kid who’s been hurt and is struggling to overcome that. He understands and cares that his flaws cause other people trouble, and genuinely wants to make up for it. By his canon point, he’s well on his way there, but he still has room to grow.

some notes on worldbuilding

I need to set down some rules for myself because Treasure Planet's world building gets confusing fast and it's tempting to throw up my hands and let him understand everything, but:

Two main points of guidance: 1) The technology level in the movie is meant to be what Robert Louis Stevenson would come up with had he been writing science fiction (note to self: he was nearly a contemporary of Jules Verne so it might help to look up/reread what Verne had going on), and 2) the universe Jim lives in has extreme income disparity and Jim is on the lower end of it (per the art book).

Technology we know they have:
  • Holograms - Sarah's locket, the map, the storybook, the window to the Benbow.

  • "Space" travel

  • Solar power - Jim's sailor surfer, the RLS Legacy's shields

  • Radar - the black hole

  • cybernetic limbs and working eye, including a targeting system (!!!)

  • artificial intelligence (wtf)

  • combustion engines

  • advanced mathematics and astronomy

  • Not actually technology, but there appears to be some kind of gender parity and (public?) education


  • Technology that is not shown:
  • Personal computers of any kind

  • Something internet-like - information appears to be stored in multiple books (with pretty holo-pictures), therefor probably no central database.

  • Instantaneous communication of any kind - no calls home, no radioing for help (note to self: check on this), there are tubes for intraship communication. Headcanon: information works something like comm buoys in Mass Effect, but must be sent and received in a specific location and take forever to get to backwater planets like Montressor. So, basically, they're letters. They may even be transcribed by "post office" workers and delivered as such! Meanwhile, more centralized parts of the Empire have enough buoys and bandwidth to support near-instantaneous data transfer. Thus Jim isn't amazed by the tablets, but he's never used something like it himself.

  • Food preservation and pre-packaged food

  • Industrialized production techniques for things like cloth or tools
