### Personality

Jim is serious, has a gentle heart, and is loyal to those he likes, and despite his **Element of Harmony** being Loyalty, he sometimes fights with those he knows, especially Cheren (who called him hideous after their first meeting). He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral or disinterested attitude.

Jim's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. His bio explains that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Jim as callous. Related to this, Jim is an extremely cool individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. While he was shown to be mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, Jim almost never goes as far as to lose his coolness.

But if there's nothing to do, then he is a simple, honest, direct, passionate, hot-headed, impetuous, and confrontational semi-immortal man. Furthermore, Jim is a foul-mouthed individual and regularly taunts his enemies, enjoying aggravating them. As a running gag, he often swears at, insults, or flips off villains or other individuals with not necessarily evil but less than pure-hearted intentions such as jerks, bullies, or greedy people (such as Paul or Viren). However, he's also a playful man and prefers fooling around over having any responsibility. By his own admission, his most hated sentences are "hard work" and "work hard". Jim has a fairly goofy side mixed with boastful nature and his love of pranks.

He does what is right, even if it's the more difficult choice. He won't go looking for trouble, but he won't run if it comes looking for him. His musical preferences lie in country rock (he also prefers dub-steps and the real-life music from the 70-90's too). As a teenager, he wasn't fond of classical music. He doesn't hate easily, but when he does so, it's intense. He is also uncomfortable with formal wear, preferring casual clothes, but rarely dresses up for a formal occasion when necessary.

He has a tendency of accidentally ora-ing someone who makes him shocked or surprised (much to Cheren's chagrin). His favorite sea animals are dolphins and his favorite sea Pokémon are Wailord. In addition, he hates loud women. He also has a tendency of evading punishments, but he will only do that if an emergency meeting request is coming for him. He and Nanette, as they are very close friends, sometimes hug each other when they feel like it, which is where the jokes concerning them come from. He also suffers from PTSD due to the traumatic experience of being horribly mutilated by an armed gang and subsequently losing most of his organic body as a result, and Nanette always has to comfort him.

On top of these, Jim really hates abused people and Pokémon and will absolutely lose it if he sees somebody get abused. This was best seen when Bianca got abused by her own father, which results in him and Nanette going completely out of control...and gone on a rampage and fighting each other, much to the ABSOLUTE FURY of Marina and Ellie. He always has no recollection of what happened when he went out-of-control.

### Relationships

* **Liam, Elis, Marina & Nanette Daisy**: The Daisies like these ones are a Porter's best friend. Jim is especially a *VERY* close friend to Nanette, but the two are unluckily prone to getting either jokes on being "like father like daughter" or shipped, always annoying everyone, but especially Marina. He was also best friends with Liam, and misses him dearly despite knowing both of them are married to different women.
	+ Jim usually refers to Nanette as "Nata-chan," while she usually refers to him as "Jimmy-san" and often hugs him.
* **Catherine Porter**: His girlfriend (as seen in the second prequel) and later wife. Despite their constant fighting, they truly love each other.
* **Lily, Tesla and Emily Porter**: His daughters. He cares for them greatly.
* **Arcturus Porter I**: His ancestor, whom he worships greatly, but not in a comedic way. They sometimes fight because of Arcturus's jerky side.
* **June Porter**: His twin sister.
* **Karen Porter**: His younger sister.
* **Lucas Porter**: His younger brother.
* **Cheren Harkabune**: His friendly rival. Despite often getting along, their constant fighting always triggers Bianca's jerky side.
* **Nina Aarden**: He recognizes her as the main character of the *Myths of Unova* comic and sometimes idolizes her as a result, much to her embarrassment.
* **Will Brennan**: Jim's best friend (despite their age gap) who he often hangs out with. However, they often bicker and fight (especially if their Charizard fight as well), but do care about each other.

### Etymology

* **Porter** is a person employed to carry luggage and other loads, especially in a railroad station, airport, or hotel.
	+ Another meaning is that it's a type of beer, a dark brown bitter beer brewed from malt partly charred or browned by drying at a high temperature.
* He shares his Japanese name, **Jotaro**, with Jotaro Kujo from *Jojo's Bizarre Adventure*, although the characters are not related.

* **Harmony Gem**
* **Mega Bracelet**
* **Z-Ring**
* **Arcturus's Sword** - Jim's main melee weapon, being given by his own ancestor to become its successor. Besides instantly purifying the darkness, the true potential of the sword is unknown.
	+ **The Zenith** - The second upgrade of the sword itself, (???)
	+ **Blade of the Cosmos** - The sword's final upgrade and occasionally called the "Celestial Sword", (???)
* **Celestial Stones** - Jim's main source of cosmic and light powers.

* **Flashlight**
* **Journal** - A book that he uses to record his experience.

## Magical Abilities

As a magical warrior, Jim possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, the ability to fly and the Elemaximum ability after expending a great deal of magic, granting exceptional power unique to him for a limited amount of time.

Jim primarily has electricity-based magical powers, which he can fire as beams or bolts. He can also give electricity to Electric-type Pokémon to recharge their energy. It appears he can control the amount as he can deliver a small static shock or a giant lightning bolt. He is also quite physically strong but must be wary of water as sufficient water can disrupt his powers, and strong magnetic fields can render his powers useless as well. His electricity can be used as a crude heat source as he can fry an enemy to an extent with enough voltage. He can transmit electricity into ammunition rounds, turning them into electric munitions. Like most Porters, his magic aura is electric blue in color.

He has one special ability that no villain or warrior can have (except for Twilight Sparkle in *Magical Little Ponies* who can also freely copy otherwise individualized powers): copy the powers of any/every entity/object in existence; gaining not only all their abilities and level of power, but the status of the copied entity/object as well. That would also mean improvements on other aspects of this ability such as replicating any powers without any limit, thus he can retain the powers he copied for much longer time, be in a far distance to copy his opponents' powers, access the full capabilities of the copied powers, and evolve/improve the powers he copied, without having to reach a painful limit. This is also the reason why he often tries to make himself versatile and useful in some ways, as Jim often saves copied powers for later use.

## Guardian of Harmony

Jim is an Electric Elemental who represents the Elemental of Loyalty. His theme color is electric blue, and not counting all his various military weapons and his Polaris Sword, his magic weapon specifically designed for fighting enemies is a spear (spear-staff hybrid in Stage 5).

### Attacks

* **Electrical-Sync Slash** - His main Sync Move-esque finisher.
* **Ora Ora Rush** - Also called **Fighting Sync Bullet Punch**, which is his other Sync Move-esque finisher.
* **Star Finger**
	+ **Star Fist** - An upgraded version in which he can extend his wrist to an indeterminate amount of length and punches target at a greater distance.

## Trivia

* Touching him will result in getting a brief static shock. This is likely because his cybernetic body parts are conductive despite all of them being made from bio-titanium alloy (bio-auramite in the case of Stage 5...or something).
* He was very obviously inspired by the titular character of the 1987 movie *RoboCop*.
* Jim's swearing is always bleeped. However, Nanette always has to stop him from swearing so vulgarly before it gets out of hand.
* He is like Superman: exceptionally gifted in physical combat, senses, and durability compared to his relatives and/or team members, but doesn't use magic nearly as much as the others due to this, even though he is seen with various weapons. Fans often refer to him as the Superman of the Multiverse.
	+ When as Shadow Hunter, he is like Batman: Both have scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic prowess. They are both Prep Time users as well.
* After telling his backstory, he often gets Darth Vader jokes from the other heroes due to both being humans who were turned into cyborgs to save their life, even though he was more inspired by *RoboCop*. Unlike Darth Vader, however, who became evil, Jim didn't turn evil.
* His Celestial Forms look like he is wearing a special variant of the CMC-705 power armour. Also, his Celestial Dragon form looks more cybernetic than the original.
* Jim's smoking in the English dub is always either cut, edited out (or censored via something like a shadow similarly to *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*), or edited to something else like a lollipop. Him drinking alcohol is similarly edited to him drinking soda or juice in the English dub.
	+ He often smokes a whole (censored or edited) pack of cigarttes at once, despite not having organic lungs even though his head is still mostly human. In the English dub, this often results in him instead having a large amount of lollipops in his mouth at once.
* Jim weighs over 300 pounds, the same weight as RoboCop.
* Despite not usually being crass and mocking like Arcturus, he sometimes laughs at and pokes fun at people who sleep with their Pokémon.
* Jim absolutely HATES getting shipped with Nanette and considers anyone who ships them to be a pervert due to their huge age gap of 38 years, since he is much more of a father figure to her. However, he is also prone to extremely ridiculous incestuous (and sometimes ridiculous gay incestuous shippings, such as "MilitaryPowerShipping/"Arataro") shippings from the troublemakers.
* Jim's yukata is electric blue with a pattern of the star roundel symbol used by the real-life US military.
* Whenever he and Nanette hug and nuzzle each other, he blushes despite knowing their age gap.
* Having a crowd of people following him around to fulfill their desire is Jim's worst nightmare, due to the powers he copied from other magic warriors and villains.
* In his magical warrior form, he has jetpacks instead of wings, which the others find very weird. However, the jetpacks are partly magical in nature (much like how the other's wings can support their weight due to magic) as otherwise they would never be able to lift his 300+ pound weight off the ground.
* His trademark favorite food is fried tofu "Torchic wings."
* As a human, the reason why he had an alter-ego of Shadow Hunter despite magic being public knowledge is because everyone knows that magic users shouldn't always fight at night.
* His witch form, Tankbot, resembles a giant floating cyan tank, but with a large single eye in the gun.
* It has been confirmed by his creator that the only organic vital organ Jim still has is his brain and spinal nerves - he even has an artificial *heart*.
