Jimmy

APPEARANCE Jimmy is an adult male with straight brown hair slicked into a middle part, brown eyes, and stubble. His clothing consists of a Pony Express jumpsuit, a white long-sleeved T-shirt underneath, and black sneakers. He has some wrinkles and appears to have a thinner body type.

PERSONALITY Jimmy is shown to experience some semblance of guilt for some of his actions while also being intentionally manipulative and spiteful. It was mentioned that he has struggled with life back on Earth and likely sought a life of control, hence why he felt comfortable as the co-pilot. However, he felt as though he had been climbing the ladder while Curly was already at the top. After the crash, he attempts to take responsibility and fix things, while not recognizing that his actions are why the crew had gotten in their position. He often repeats other people's words without understanding their meaning and applies them to himself to excuse the things he's done. He is very unreliable as a narrator. Jimmy is envious of Curly's position as a captain pre-crash, wishing to gain the same amount of power as him, and not recognizing how many responsibilities and tasks a captain has. He acts impulsively and without thinking, such as crashing the Tulpar and regretting it right after, which ultimately left Curly severely injured and incapacitated as captain. He lied to the crew and blamed Curly for the crash so he wouldn't have to deal with the consequences. As captain, he quickly got overwhelmed and berated other members of the crew, primarily Anya when she asked him to help with the painkillers. Eventually, he recognizes that he's not built to be a captain, and Curly should've stayed as that all along. He also takes advantage of all the crew members in some way. He convinces Daisuke to climb into the damaged vent by telling him that Swansea would be proud of him, despite Swansea's warnings that it would be dangerous. When Daisuke was injured, Jimmy tried to use the mouthwash as a disinfectant despite Anya's warning that it had too much sugar to be effective. Jimmy insults Swansea for killing Daisuke even though he was in tremendous pain and wouldn't have been able to survive the wounds. Jimmy often quickly jumps to conclusions, assuming the worst in people. He yelled at Curly during his birthday party for wanting to leave everyone behind, or when Swansea mercy killed Daisuke. He also projects his own traits and insecurities on others, such as when he assumed Swansea wanted to keep the only working cryostasis pod for himself. Jimmy's hallucinations represent the guilt and the true thought patterns he has. Anya herself never shows up, but the baby that he had caused is often treated as a mistake that he needs to get rid of. Daisuke is shown the most in his hallucinations in the form of a flower, while he often saw himself as defending or hiding from Swansea. He also chose to not take the Pony Express mandated psych evaluations seriously, stating that he experiences sexual attraction to cartoon horses. In Anya's words, Jimmy thinks that they're a waste of time.
