==Background history==
===Early life (2152‒2162)===
Bimmy was born to William von Jimmy and his wife Anergy in 2152 at the tail end of the Council Expansion Era. His father and their pregnant wife were sent on Earth's first extra-solar colony world of Demeter, and it is here that she gave birth. However his mother had been exposed to eezo while he was in utero, and he also experienced exposure during his first few years of life. When the media reported an accident to the exposure of eezo in 2154 (Bimmy Age 2), his family was only temporarily concerned until they understood that both his mother and Bimmy himself would appear to survive their exposure. Anergy would give birth to Bimmy's younger sister Jammy in 2155 (Age 3). When it was discovered in 2156 (Bimmy Age 4, Jammy Age 1) that exposed children could exhibit minor telekinetic abilities, Will and An wondered if their son may possess the same techniques.
When he was 5 in 2157 (Jammy Age 2), his mother was sent to aid in the activation of a Mass Relay near the colony of Shanxi. This attempt would directly lead to the First Contact War would commence between Humans and Turians. During this short but tense conflict, Bimmy's mother would be killed in battle while trying to procure food for fellow survivors who had been starving. The two fell on hard times as William fell into a deep, brooding depression following the death of Anergy. He and his father William were still grieving by 2158 (B-Age 6; J-Age 3), when the government had begun tracking element zero exposure and learned of Bimmy's — The Biotic Acclimation and Temperance Training program would trick William in 2160 (B-Age 8; J-Age 5) into allowing BAat to take his young son to train his biotic abilities.
===Later childhood (2163‒2172)===
His L1 implant was exchanged for an L2 in 2167 (Age 15). However, BAat was shut down in 2169 (Age 17) after Kaidan Alenko accidentally killed Turian overseer Commander Vyrnnus after being provoked. Now free, Bimmy began trying to make his own way in life. Initially seeking to find his father, he found his family home abandoned, appearing in complete disrepair. Believing his father and sister missing or dead, he tried to move on with his life. Despite the danger of L2 implants, Bimmy held out for an extra year and didsn't get his implant upgraded into an L3 until 2171 (Age 18). He followed this up by joining the military.
===Adulthood (2173‒2185)===
Bimmy served in only minor military conflicts during his life, with the exception of the Reaper War.
In 2175 (Age 23), Bimmy heard rumors of a skulking man aboard the Citadel seen hiding in shadowy alleyways and watching children. A man with a strange W-like marking on his face. Remembering his father's tattoo that he had gotten during a drunken bet in his own youth Bimmy went looking for his father, and eventually found him some months later. He was confused upon watching his father walking with a young child, which he then handed over to another, well-dressed man. Waiting until his father was alone again, Bimmy confronted him about what he had witnessed and his father confesses: Following his wife's death and losing his son to the BAat initiative, William had begun taking the drug red sand with the hopes of understanding his own son's abilities. He became horribly addicted thanks to the connected euphoria. He was eventually contacted by Cerberus, stating that they would provide him with red sand in exchange for providing them with intel against the Human military forces and help them bring them potential biotic children to Cerberus agents for transfer to an unknown facility. Before he could explain much further, William was suddenly assassinated by an unknown individual who escaped Bimmy's grasp.
He would spend his remaining years finding out who had killed his father, ultimately learning that it was the same well-dressed man as before. After some intense interrogation he received some evidence that the well-dressed man worked for a company known as Cerberus. In 2180 (Age 28) he discovered evidence that led him to his long-lost sister, Jammy, now age 25. She had become a successful attorney but had a side gig of underground street fighter. He would help her out of a bind and the two fought their way out and escaped the planet as it was raided by Batarian pirates. The two would maintain a relatively distant physically but close emotionally connection.
===Reaper War (2186)===
While he was eventually deployed onto Earth during the final assault against Harbinger on Earth, he was separated from his unit when a nearby explosion damaged his comm unit and he was believed killed in action, leaving him to attempt to fight his way back to any nearby squadrons. When his weapon was damaged beyond repair by a charging Brute, he was left with little choice but to fight in hand-to-hand combat alone. It is unknown if he survived or not.
==Media appearances==
===Mass Effect 3 (2012)===
Bimmy was a temporary player character used in Mass Effect's multiplayer mode. The game allows fully leveled characters to be "sent to the front lines", which deletes the character but provides additional bonuses to the single player game that will effect the end game.
===Long Story (2015)===
Bimmy plays a minimal role in the game. Here he is seen as a soldier during the game's final chapter, fighting against the Crux Space Pirates as they invade the planet. He eventually gets surrounded alongside the party and seemingly sacrifices himself so that they may escape. He is not seen again in the game, nor is he planned to appear in the game's 2023 sequel, TLDR: Another Long Story.
==Trivia==
*His name was inspired by Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon combined with the poorly translated "Bimmy" in Double Dragon 2's ending.
**By extension, his sister Jammy is named after a follow-up to this mistranslation seen in Double Dragon Neon.
**By another extension, his mother's name "Anergy" is based on the mistranslation of "Anergy empty!! You all over!!" from the original PlayStation's title, Speed Power Gunbike.
