Jim

==Canon history==
Jim is a writer that's first introduced to the reader in
Melbourne, Australia. He comes from a more rural location and his
family is very traditional. He has a mother and a father who kicked him
out after finding out that he was gay. While living with his parents,
Jim wrote a story with a character who was a man unclouded by thought.
He meets Ian while working as an interviewer for a magazine. During the
interview with Ian, Jim finds out a little bit of his intriguing past
and decides to use him for his book instead the interview. Jim is also
getting ready to move to New York and live there permanently as a
writer. However the pair keep meeting during this time and Jim hears
more of Ian's story. He takes Ian's picture which he keeps with him for
the entire book.
When Jim is about ready to go to New York, Ian
comes to his door. He tells Jim that his mother-sister has gone to
America. Ian isn't sure what to do but Jim offers to take him to
America with him and is willing to help Ian anyway that he can. So the
pair goes to New York where Ian heads off to find his mother/sister and
Jim pursues his career as a writer. Jim gets letters from Ian with
updates on his progress.
Sometime after arriving in New York,
Jim also starts hanging out with his neighbor Rick. Ian returns to New
York. Jim offers Ian anything he wants and listens to his story. Ian
tells Jim that he will meet a woman three years from now wearing the
suit she bought Ian at a certain location. Ian asks him to keep it safe
for him. Jim agrees and states that he has to get back to work. While
Jim is busy, Rick and Ian go out to get groceries in order to make
dinner. Ian tells Rick about his time as a child prostitute and Rick
tells Jim. Jim talks to Ian about it with Rick in the room. He receives
a phone call and goes to answer it before the conversation is over.
An unknown amount of time later, one of Jim's books is published. Rick has
him sign a copy of it and the pair are planning to move again. Ian is
still around. Jim answers the phone and it's a call for Ian from
Melbourne. He tells Jim a little bit later about the next sighting of
his sister/mother, so he gets ready to head off again. Ian tells Jim
that he doesn't have to see him off but Jim does anyways.
The book skips to two years later with Jim looking at Ian's suit. Jim is
still getting letters from his parents and Rick is still with him.
However Rick has a injury on his face which he later explains that his
brother managed to find him so now Rick has to go back home. Rick
leaves and Jim calls his parents during the time. His mother says that
his father is no longer angry and that they'll be waiting. Jim gives
them his new address as he's planning to move again. He goes by his old
place on the way home and sees Ian standing outside looking up at his
window.
Jim takes Ian home with him and notices that his friend
has changed since the last time he's seen him significantly. They talk
and Ian's mother/sister is dead. Jim works on his writing and Ian tells
him about how he got from the point where he finds out his
mother/sister is dead to Jim's. On a day when Jim doesn't feel like
dealing he's told that Ian's now looking for his mother/sister's lover
who lives around in New York.
Ian goes to see the man and comes back to Jim's. Ian's a broken man when he appears on the
door step. The man who was his sister/mother's boyfriend is the man who
was also his pimp. Jim grabs the address from Ian's hand when he starts
screaming and runs off to meet the man. The pimp explains his side of
the story and that Ian is infected. Jim goes back and asks Ian if he
knew. He tells him that he did. They talk a little.
Jim meets Rick again sometime later and Rick comes home with him. Rick crashes
with Ian and Jim. However his presence makes Ian feel like things are a
little crowded. They talk at dinner and Ian gets Jim to finally call
his parents. Later Ian puts up two identical pictures and explains to
Jim that one belonged to him and the other belonged to his
sister/mother. He decides that he's going to meet that woman he's
promised to meet and see how things turn out.
Jim asks if he can go along to see what will happen. They agree to meet at the subway near
the bathrooms and Ian leaves. Jim notices that Ian only took one of his
pictures. He puts his picture of Ian up next to it.
He goes to the subway to wait for Ian to arrive and a girl runs by him headed for
the men's bathroom which is closed. He stops her from going in and says
he's meeting someone here. She says that she is as well. They both spot
Ian who is in the bathroom dying and bloody. When the girl goes to
touch him he yells at her not to and Ian explains that the woman he as
planning to meet died. Jim asks Ian if this is where he wants to die.
The girl cries out that this is my fault and Jim asks her what she
means. She explains the situation is a case of mistaken identity. Jim
explains that this was the only thing Ian wanted and that he was
prepared to die if he didn't get to meet the woman. She says that the
woman is not dead which was what she told Ian and that the woman is
actually her mother.
Jim listens to the story and the girl yells at him aren't you his friend and that she wants to know the rest
of the story. Jim tells her that he's planning to write a book and that
he can't tell her. He starts to think of a name for her in his book.
People start to arrive on the scene and Jim stays with Ian. The girl is
dragged off in another direction but manages to yell out for his name.
Jim says for her to go check the bookstores then remains with Ian as he dies
Jim is not seen again but people comment about his newest book and how it's
a thinly veiled memoir about observing Ian. In the book they say that
the writer killed himself a year after the guy died and Jim has
disappeared.
==Entranceway history==
Jim's transition to mansion life has been relatively uneventful compared to some of the other mansion residents. He has accepted rather blandly that life in Entranceway is odd. However the 
only reason he accepts the nature of this world is because he believes that the mansion residents will behave like people.
During the Korean Drama event, Jim met Hubb for the first time and unfortunately exposed some of his past. 
The pair shared a bond with each other which ultimately caused them to kill themselves as father and son in one of the 
tea rooms. Jim awoke later in the event and started to carve Ian's name into his forearm. After coming to his senses after the event, Jim decided to meet 
with Hubb in a embarrassing situation. The pair talk and mull over the poitn of suicide in the mansion and in general.
Around this time Jim also meets Sinclair who is as polite as he is
intriguing to Jim who wants to know his story after speaking to him. Jim offers to tell his life story in exchange for Sinclair's. However, they begin to debate the idea of the worth of thier own individual tales and the idea is scrapped. Not long after meeting Sinclair, Jim encounters Byakuran during Oswald's winged event. He compliments the other on his wings and the two proceed to chat about thier respective worlds and issues.
