Jimmys

The **Jimmys** were a series of sentient combat machines assembled centuries ago for use as the king's guards as the Mechanicas Miltarium. At the end of the royal family, they were repurposed for menial labor by the Imperium. The Jimmys have mostly been wiped out, with few left across the stars.

## Schematics

Jimmys were tall, humanoid, sentient machines. While the specifics are unknown, their range of movement differed somewhat from that of humans, but it was quiet similar. They had sensors with lighting on their faces that could, to some degree, project their feelings like human expressions do. They would activate lights that appeared to be where their eyes would be, were they human, and could alight similar lights on their cheeks to indicate a blush. They were programmed with love for Princess Issa, which gave them a somewhat emotional response to their tasks, including encouraging them to fight for the Imperium and, similarly, to stop fighting for them after her assassination. These feelings also enabled JC-1435 to form an attachment to Sam, who reminded him of Issa. Other Jimmys would presumably be capable of similar development and could have developed their own personalities across the stars.

Designed for combat, the Jimmys were incredibly durable. While blasts from lava cork weaponry could easily knock them over, their bodies could withstand the blows, allowing them to continue functioning. Their visual sensors gave them incredible spacial awareness and they had a mechanical control over the way their bodies worked that enabled them to perform feats from positions that would have been very difficult for flesh beings. This included such feats as firing a gun from a passive position with complete confidence that it would strike the intended target without risking innocent bystanders, such as when JC-1435 struck down Faunus without injuring Sam, who Faunus was using as a human shield.

## History

The Jimmys were initially crafted centuries ago as a set of twelve. As time went on, they eventually numbered in the thousands. They were designed to protect the interests of the realm, fighting for the Imperium until the day that the fabled Princess Issa would give them new purpose and bring about an age of peace and compassion. During this time, Jimmys were present during Kora's first command for a battle on an unknown planet. When Issa was assassinated, the remaining Jimmys laid down their weapons and refused to continue fighting, so the Imperium used some for manual labor. Others wandered off on their own. Having lost their purpose, they either allowed others to provide purpose to them or they gave themselves new ones.

Many Jimmys were destroyed through the centuries, but Admiral Atticus Noble kept one, unit JC-1435, aboard the *King's Gaze*. When his mission required him to restock the food supplies for his men, Noble left a small military unit behind in the Veldtian farming village to oversee the coming harvest. Included in the gear left for them was the Jimmy. Reminded of the princess by a local farm girl, Sam, this Jimmy was inspired to seek a new purpose for himself. He killed his commanding officer, Faunus, to save Sam, then fled to the wilderness of Veldt to commune with nature.
