Jimbo

Jamius Bodevkha, also known as Jimbo, is a wizard who first appears in #17,208. He was created by AwdryFan1997.
== Biography ==
Jimbo is first seen discovering Ray Trace's Life Essence in New Donk City along with his servant, P-BP. Jimbo, who assumes it is just some "blue goo", intends to keep it for himself, until P-BP swallows it. Before Jimbo can respond, a "Cloaked Individual" (now being officially stated by AwdryFan1997 to have been Jacques of Interference from the future) appears. It is implied that they engaged in conflict, and Jimbo went on record saying that he forced Jacques to retreat after a single magic attack.
He later encounters Redshift and Bluminescence during their mission. Jimbo lies to them about "seeing anything peculiar" and tries to infiltrate the Protectors by claiming New Donk "is basically one giant Walmart". While Jimbo volunteers to find Ray Trace, Captain Goomba appears, which hinders Jimbo's plans. To put the ball back in his court, he gives P-BP as a gift to the Protectors as a token of their alliance. This results in Ray Trace being identified as inside P-BP, thus meaning the blue goo was, without any shadow of a doubt, a Life Essence. 
However, Jimbo claims to own the "blue goo" and demands that they hand Ray Trace over to him at once. They refuse, so Jimbo, in his lack of foresight, chooses to do battle with Redshift, offering a "family heirloom" as a token of their everlasting friendship. Redshift denies this, enraging Jimbo to an insane degree. When Redshift tries to pay Jimbo, Jimbo demands all of the possessions on his person, including his clothes, as stated in Jimbo's Code of Honor. However, Jimbo plans to launch a surprise attack on Redshift once his clothes are off, as he is, in fact, made of goo himself. Redshift predicts this, but he did not expect Jimbo to reduce his viscosity and leap down his throat, seizing his body.
After a struggle, Jimbo tries to escape Redshift and seize Bluminescence, who is able to save himself and run away. Jimbo, feeling guilty for his actions, makes his way to New Donk Hospital to mourn the loss of his adversary. Jimbo swears to his unconscious idol that he will ensure Beryl Marine's death before pulling Redshift's oxygen tube, killing him. However, P-BP puts it back in and performs CPR, bringing him back to life. So, really, this entire scene was pointless, aside from ending the whole business about needing to kill Redshift because blah blah Code of Honor or whatever.
Jimbo hid under a chair when Raymond Travkin and later Captain Goomba visit Redshift. Jimbo joins P-BP when he follows Ray Trace aboard STEADE's Medical Shuttlecraft, intent on reuniting with Redshift and apologizing face-to-face, beginning Jimbo's first (and thankfully only) sneaking mission.
However, Jimbo eventually is caught by The Doctor, a generic horror villain who is not to be confused with the Doctor from Doctor Who, who used his psychic powers to follow Jimbo and P-BP. A series of events ensue, leading to Jimbo and P-BP being expelled from the shuttle. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Jimbo awakens in the battlefield where the spy Bruce duels with Mija. Jimbo, fueled by anger, leaps into the fray.
However, the battle is ended by Dark Light, who recognizes Jimbo. Jimbo narrowly avoids being placed in a giant freezer by promising to kill Beryl Marine. On his way there, he apologizes to Redshift in person by playing a stolen security camera recording of his speech in New Donk Hospital. However, The Doctor, who had been hiding aboard the STEADE Medical Shuttle, attacks, just after a powerless P-BP arrives on-scene. The fight is interrupted by Darth Kirby, in the form known as Bowful. The Doctor escapes being assimilated and critically injures P-BP using Darth Kirby's lightsaber. Jimbo then runs back to the Protector's Base, as their group is the only one he considers worthy of helping him save P-BP and capture The Doctor. 
Jimbo is found by Bruce, who is disguised as Howdy-Doody (and was on his way out, after AwdryFan finally got the hint that he was godmodding). There is a brief battle, which is interrupted by Malon and later Cloud Strife. Jimbo is defeated by the Bruce Kidney Punch, and Bruce gives a speech about Jimbo being a loser. Jimbo is found by Ultra Violet, who saves him and (after a brief escapade) P-BP. The Doctor is also injured after slipping on P-BP's trail of blood. It's also here that Jimbo is revealed to have an evil twin brother named Obmij.
Jimbo remains here, where he awakens and begins performing a meme dance from Spongebob, until AwdryFan1997's banning, which erased him from the continuity.
== Behind the Scenes ==
Jimbo unintentionally became AwdryFan1997's most prominent character in the Car Wash series, leading to many plot threads that were left unfulfilled with AwdryFan's banning. 
AwdryFan has stated Jimbo was designed as if he were a character from a series of short novels he attempted to write in middle school, which were extremely zany and were written with the mentality of a crackhead. Jimbo's origins were to be revealed as being from Bitro-Sizia, a continent from the aforementioned "books". He was originally human, until a failed experiment resulted in his current form. He and his twin brother Obmij were meant to be complete moral opposites, which they were raised as in accordance with Bitro-Sizian law. Jimbo also created P-BP after discovering the remains of Bitro-Sizian hero Petre Bedpan, using his DNA to create a clone who evolved into P-BP.
AwdryFan had planned for his arc with BabyLuigiOnFire to end with Wayleth, Sklurt, Shutters, Carly, and Charlie dragging Beryl Marine along with them to find Jimbo and P-BP. Upon arriving at Jimbo's apartment, they find Obmij, who reveals Jimbo's location (as Jimbo was still in contact with him). Obmij joins the party and accompanies them to the Protector's Base. The intention was that Dark Light would become aware of Jimbo's residence in the Base and scold him for not finding Beryl Marine, only for Beryl Marine and the others to walk in seconds later. 
On September 16th, AwdryFan made a cryptic announcement titled "The Void" featuring Jimbo, asking for other users to "stay tuned" for some reason. On September 27th, AwdryFan followed this with the first chapter of his epilogue series The Postban Chronicles. The Postban Chronicles has long since been cancelled. 
When AwdryFan joined ZeldaDungeon Forums on 3 November 2020, he created Hotel Jimbo, a roleplay featuring Jimbo. Jimbo would also appear in some of the other RPs AwdryFan joined on that site.
== Trivia ==
* Jimbo was always intended to have extreme depth to his personality, but AwdryFan did not expect such character development to occur so soon.
* Bruce compares Jimbo to the Yellow Devil from the Megaman series, which is a nod to Bruce being an "homage" (that is, poorly-written ripoff) to Protoman, another Megaman character.
* Jimbo was written to actively avoid using his goo abilities, only using them when necessary. This was not only to give Jimbo more depth but also to make him less overpowered.
* Jimbo does not have a mouth, however, Obmij, who is still human, does.
* AwdryFan has de facto retired Jimbo since, like, 2022.
