Profile: Jimmy Bennet

If you're just perusing, you might want to wait until you get to the point in the story where I actually link to this profile to avoid any spoilers.


Age: Around 30 in Paula's story (so 33 in present)
Height: 6'
Rank: Full tattoo by age of 16, Henri's Second in Command and future leader of the Southlands since about 18
Power: Unknown, but it's assumed he has something
Quirk: He's the only person that Brandon can't pick up any stray thoughts from at all. Possibly has to do with his power?


Words to describe Jimmy: Ruthless, cold, calculating, charming, handsome, cruel

All of my characters are frightening, but Jimmy is really the epitome of the Wildlander ideal. Even without any showy powers, he is a ferocious fighter. This is simply understood by those around him; it's part of who he is and his reputation goes far and wide. When faced with Jimmy many suddenly become more careful in their movements and ponder over every possibly questionable thing they've done that he might know about. What makes matters worse is his ability to look and act perfectly normal despite being a complete monster. It's like he has two sides to him, one the person he became due to stresses in his life and the other the person he could have been.

He does what needs to be done without hesitation or complaint, and Henri knows he can count on him.

Jimmy started his training much earlier than most and was trained directly under Henri. Henri saw it as a necessity for particular reasons. So Jimmy earned his rank much earlier than most. Henri doesn't command him, and has never really been able to control him. He seeks Jimmy's opinion and trusts him. It's a position he's grown into.

Jimmy is very close to Henri, and would definitely give his life for the man if there really was no other choice. (Though he has great faith that there is always another choice. One of the few things he has faith in.)

Basically raised Brandon. Is very protective of him, even now, though not as obviously so as when Brandon was a kid.

Views on sex (I'm such a perv): Fine for recreation, but he actually doesn't think about it very often. Might have to do with the fact that really, with a face like that and one of his rarer smiles (and that whole aura of danger! around him), he can easily have his pick. He's also pretty straight up about it, just him and one partner, always a girl. (And always a strong girl; someone he has some respect for or he wouldn't give her the time of day.)

Oddly (TMI alert), I see him having issues with a girl he really cares about going down on him.





10 facts about Jimmy

1. He lost his virginity at 15. It was not completely by choice, the girl pounced him.

2. When he was little, his favorite place was Rita's garden behind the bar.

3. He shuns the idea of fear. He spent enough time being afraid in his life.

4. Why Aaron? Truth be told even he doesn't know, but they are good friends and close in age.

5. He knows everyone thinks that Brandon is his only weakness and that's not true.

6. The shirt thing: most shirts are a hindrance, loose shirts get in the way. Best to always be ready to move. Plus it seems to make people uncomfortable, so win-win.

7. There is one fact I want to tell you, but it doesn't seem right. It is revealed in the text though, and surprisingly no one asked about it. (Maybe that was my fault.)

8. It's bad for him, but he has a tendency to smoke rather than drink. No altering of his perception.

9. He doesn't like to kiss women he's just having sex with. (Bet he'd be embarrassed to have you know that.) In fact he started smoking so he could have an excuse not to be kissed goodbye.

10. Jimmy is an excellent reader though he doesn't do it often. He showed an interest when he was a kid, and so Henri helped start teaching him, and he helped teach Aaron.
