Psychological Characteristics

Personality:
An easy to like guy, Jimothi "Jimmy" is an interesting character. While his enthusiasm towards even the most menial task may make others question his motives, Jim is a person who can pour his entire focus into one thing at a time. In fact, this sometimes gets in the way when he tries to multitask. However, the work, when complete, is impressive. A lover of classical music and of rock variations on classical songs, Jimothi always has a means to play the music he loves near him in his spare time. He also has with him a manga, but you will never see him with the same one. Jim follows more than 5 series and buys every volume. A very social guy, Jim likes to hang out with friends, especially ones that he has known for a long time, though he makes friends pretty easily. One thing that Jimothi regrets is not traveling more, and that is one reason that he joined the Star Army in the first place.

Likes: Chocolate, women, friends, history, spicy food, ginger, the prospect of becoming a leader, traveling to new places
Dislikes: bitter foods, irritating people, sitting around doing nothing at all
Goals: To become a leader and have a good time while getting there.


History

A simple city dweller all of his life, Jimothi became interested in learning how to fight. He enrolled in some self defense courses, but they did not teach him what he wanted to learn. He finished his compusory schooling and on a whim as well as a hope that he would travel to new and exciting places, he entered the Star Army of Yamatai. He found that he liked it quite a bit, but he quit the Star Army after the mandatory term of service and is now looking for adventure.

He is fluent in English. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Looks good so far. I don't really get any feel of personality to it, though.

So here's some questions (credits to Burning Void for most of these) to help you round Jim out:

What does he do in his free time?
Who does he know and how well?
What does he own?
Does he have friends or enemies?
Does he get along with his family? Why or why not?
What sort of people does Jimothi tend to make friends with? Other people his own age? Co-workers? Neighbors? People he went to college with?
Where does your hang out? Does he go club-hopping? Does he pick up people at singles' bars? Does he see movies, or go dancing? Does he play pool or go shopping? Does he read at the library, go hunting, or go to club meetings?
What is his workplace usually like? Does its reflect his personality?
When Jimothi travels, what sorts of cities and places does he like to go to? Why?
When Jimothi goes shopping, which stores does he frequent and why?
Any hobbies? Where did he pick them up?
What kind of music does he listen to?
