Jim Porter

**Jim Porter** (Japanese: **ポーター 承太郎** *Pourtaa Jotaro*) is one of the main characters of the present-day arcs of *Magicae Amicitie et Harmoniae.* He is a loyal and experienced GDI general who is also a cyborg. His real-world alias is **Mike Greenwood** (Japanese:).

Due to the PTSD he had to endure, he involuntarily turned into his corrupted ego, **Callius Nightbringer**, the main antagonist working for the AoTA in Rosie Magica (alongside the Vertexes, obviously). Luckily, he was later purified back to normal by Natalie Storybook.

## Bio

### Appearance

**Jim** is a 48 year-old cyborg man who looks like he's in his late teens. He has bright cyan hair and eyes, and his Harmony Mark is an electric-blue upside-down omega symbol with a white, blue, and electric-blue Poké Ball. After he gets Stage 3, four gold-bordered stars (which previously are only present in his Elemaximum Gauge) appear below his Harmony Mark, while it also gains gold spiky wings on the sides, and his hair becomes slightly longer, sparkly, lighter in color on top and has a fade of blue on the bottom. Notably, his digital eyes resemble a Sogaleo's, his skin is now white and his cybernetic parts are now gold-colored.

Noticeably, despite his lack of real eyes (despite still having eyebrows and the ability to cry) anymore, his digital eyes still can move around on the screen and emote like normal eyes.

For all of his known outfits, see here.

### 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. Despite his usual loyalty, he also occasionally breaks the law, as shown in the series finale where he returns to the Multiverse after being a criminal in the real world, or in the chapter equivalent to "Crisis From the Undergrohnd Up!" where he steals a subway car from Wyndon.

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. It is implied, however, that his cool and aloof nature is simply a front to hide the trauma from his PTSD.

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, Flim and Flam, 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 children, women and Pokemon and will absolutely lose it if he see one got abused by their parents (males in case for women and children and trainers in case for Pokemon). However, Jim will sometimes (or often) became genocidal when it comes to the villainous teams of the Pokeverse (mainly the Team Plasma), best seen when he attempted to launch a nuclear strike on the Team Plasma for having enough of their antics, being disabled by Ghetsis and seeing Nanette got controlled by the said team, only to get stopped by the Guardians before he can causing mass deaths, or even worse, nuclear war and enormous monumental destruction.

### 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.
* **Melody Harmadale**: He usually treats her in the same way he does to Nanette. That way, he truly reminds her of her platonic friend Jeanne.
* **Catherine Porter**: His girlfriend and later wife, who he first meets in *Aurea Magica* and she eventually confesses to him. 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.
* **Nicole Messerli**: At first, Jim was unfriendly with Necrosis due to being a servant of evil, but after her reformation, he begins to regard her as a friend and a honorary member of the Daisy family.
* **Katrina Moonshade**: Jim absolutely HATES Event Horizon, often swearing at her, flipping her off, and referring to her as "that pink-skinned witch," among other derogatory insults. However, he forgives her after she is freed since none of the heroes, including Jim, were aware she was actually brainwashed and not evil by choice until Queen Vera reveals it.
* **Queen Vera**: Jim hates Queen Vera even more than her minions. During the rare times the heroes encounter her in person, Nanette always has to stop Jim from recklessly unleashing his rage on her as a one-man army, and he only despises her more after finding out that she forced Katrina to work for her. He often swears at her and calls her every insult he can think of. When she is moved by Melody's speech and realizes she could have been a great Hero who was very powerful if she had just worked together with her friends and kept her relationships with them, but she is gravely injured and knows she will die soon, Jim is visibly sad and even has a rare moment of tearing up when she fades away.
* **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 Charizards fight as well), but do care about each other.
* **Star Lucario**: His best friend and loyal partner Pokémon, who he has had ever since he was a Riolu. He often affectionately refers to him as just "Star", and always keeps him out of his Poké Ball unless necessary. Jim sometimes even trusts him with his keys, classified information, or his top-secret-information passwords, showing just how strong their bond is. It is unknown exactly why only *his* Lucario is cyan, but it may be a rare gene mutation.
* **The Seraphim Sextet**: One of his close friends who are 6 angel-like entities, though they don't always get along. He also often gets shipping jokes from civilians or the troublemakers for having a group of angelic women following him around, although their relationship is strictly friendship and nothing romsatic.
* **Willie McDrawhand & La Vule**: The two former billionaire founders and business entrepreneurs Jim met in the real world universe, the former is a CEO and the latter is a gangster who is also a part-time famous rapper that came from a ghetto gang down the hood. They were one of few people who exited the Multiverse and later returned alongside Jim. They only made an appearance in the series finale via Jim indirectly mentioning them and their whereabouts and status is currently unknown.
	+ It is theorized that La Vule has reunited with his gang while Willie has gone back to his normal lives as a ordinary civilian.

* **The Taisha**: While the Taisha see Jim being a cyborg as a grave heresy, he always has to keep the peace between them and his GDI soldiers before violent riots can break out. The Magical Warrior System for him also has to accomodate him making heavy use of technology even when transformed, so it gives him somewhat less magic.

### 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.

### Technology (exclusive to this page only)

Despite being naturally gifted with superhuman attributes and ability to copy any abilities/properties/powers from anything, he was afforded some of the fastest reflexes made possible by modern-day technology, a memory assisted by an on-board/internal computer and an E.V.A artificial intelligence system, programmed with a lifetime experience.

Jim also has a terminal strip, it is a sharp, spike-like device that protrudes from Jim's right fist, this device could be used by him to interface with a corresponding data port in order to download information from other sources and compare information he gathered. The device can be also used as a makeshift dagger.

Jim had an internal zoom capability built in for better aim as well as tracking, he also had different vision modes. His systems used a grid which was crucial to Jim's targeting as well as bullet trajectory, allowing him to make ricochet shots. His programming prevented him from targeting children. He also had a recorder which could detect voice fluctuations and stress as well as play back audio/visual. This recording capability enabled Jim to document any situation he encountered with perfect recall and unbiased neutrality, with his memory being deemed through legal agreement as admissible evidence in a court of law. He also possessed a directional microphone within his sound receivers which he could track conversations from a distance. It was very sensitive, as he could hear vehicles approaching from afar despite being indoors.

Jim's body, while incorporating portions of his living tissue, was largely electronic and mechanical. This interior structure was protected by a synthetic ultra-light bio-titanium armored shell composite laminated with Kevlar and various alloys, making him incredibly resilient against both bombs, bullets and physical damages, as well as extreme impacts such as being hit by cars and falling off skyscrapers. The body armor could sustain many high-caliber rounds before damage began to appear on the armor itself. It was also highly resistant to heat and other directed-energy weaponry, as Jim was unaffected after being caught in a gas station explosion or being set on fire. However, he is somehow resistant against mind control and some of Event Horizon's dark powers, which make her necrotizing death rays seem to have no effect on him as he is mostly mechanical. His visor, which served as his eyes, was made of bulletproof glass which protected the artificial cranium apparatus and internal artificial eyes. The visor also had an undercloth of Kevlar, which protected the neck and covered up any wires.

Despite all of Jim's technological advances, he was still limited to mechanical maintenance, which meant that he needed servicing and tune-ups from time to time. On top of that, his organic systems needed to be monitored as well, therefore the scientist working on him, such as his niece Ellie Porter, would have to monitor both systems.

Despite his impressive reflexes and durability coupled with naturally-gifted superhuman attributes and ability to copy any abilities/properties/powers, he is quite vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses, anti-technology spells, strong magnetism, or water. One of his features that there is a small turbine/afterburner-esque thing used to release heat at the middle of his chest (as it is a part of his cooling system). In rare cases or some situations, he can fire a powerful a beam of heat, plasma and antimatter out of it (which also costs his outfit). In Stage 3 or 4, he no longer being vulnerable to the 4 aforementioned factors, and the said small turbine/afterburner-esque part is now fire cosmic beams instead of usual ones.

Another one of Jim's faults was that he was also programmable, meaning that in the wrong hands, he could be programmed to be incompetent, corrupted, or a dangerous threat to society.

He occasionally had flashbacks of his previous life as a human, which caused him to have "dreams" when he was sleeping or even in his power saving mode. This sometimes caused him to sleepwalk or wake up in shock.

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem** (is stored in the Magical Warrior System app when unused)

## History

## Magical Abilities

In his magical boy form, Jim possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

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 cyan in color. As shown in (), Jim can use his electrical power to speed up or power machinery or vehicles as shown when he uses his electricity to speed up the subway car while driving it along the track.

He has one special ability that no villains or heroes have (except for Twilight Sparkle 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 retaining 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.

As Callius Nightbringer, he possesses dark powers as well as guns that shoot darkness-infused bullets, and similar to Nightmare Moon, he can create night for as long as he wants.

## Magical Warrior

Jim is the Warrior of Military Power; he 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 weapons specifically designed for fighting enemies are a spear (spear-staff hybrid as of Stage 5) and a (magical) machine gun.

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* 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 magically-biotechnological reinforced laminate.
* He was very obviously inspired by the titular character of the 1987 movie *RoboCop*.
* Jim's swearing is always bleeped. However, in the first episode of Madoka Magica, upon encountering the villainous quartet for the first time, he flips them off and breaks the 4th wall when he grabs the black censor box covering his middle finger and tosses it aside.
* 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. Made-up 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.
* 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.
* Callius Nightbringer is saved by Natalie similarly to how her mother saved Event Horizon.
* Jim weighs over 300 pounds, the same weight as RoboCop.
* When Nanette starts to witch out in Season 14, Jim is the second person that comes to her mind.
* Despite not usually being crass and mocking like Arcturus, he sometimes laughs at and pokes fun at people who sleep with their Pokémon (not in *that* way) such as Nanette and Gigi, Nicole and Creampuff, or Elizabeth and Dragonet.
* Jim absolutely HATES getting shipped with Nanette and considers anycreature who ships them to be a pervert (unless they're legitimately naiive like Dragonet's babies) 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, *especially* Julia.
* Besides just humans in his Galar troops, Jim's other GDI troops also include pony (Equestrian), dragon (Dragon Lands), yak (Yakansitan), and Changeling (Changeling Kingdom) soldiers, and his Seaquestrian naval GDI forces also include seapony soldiers.
* Jim's yukata in () 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 Guardians and villains (especially reformed ones like Nicole and obviously Discord).
* In his Guardian form, he has jetpacks instead of wings, which the others find very weird. However, the jetpacks are partly magical in nature (much like how other Guardians' 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."
* From the end of "Behaver Yourself" to an unknown () Magica episode, he and Nanette talk in private due to the latter getting a closed-heart thanks to Marina's coma.
* 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*.
* Jim and his siblings are the only main characters (and also Dragonet, a supporting Pokémon character, and Delia who is a supporting character in the present day, as well as Arcturus who has a supporting role in the present day) to have children in the present-day seasons before () Magica.
* Jim is the only male who Bonnie has ever asked to marry her brother - in one episode, instead of asking a girl, she says that since Jim is protective of those he cares about, he would make a perfect *husband* for Clemont.
* In () Magica, he accidentally causes Nebby to start following the heroes due to being the wielder of the Celestial Stones, but unlike GoH, the Island Guardians (the Tapus) then ask him to take care of it anyways.
* Jim is descended from one of two missing Primarch Porters, which he asked Magnus and his brothers who is that Primarch he descended from, none of them remember the two missing Primarch Porters and their 3rd and 12th Legion's names. Neither Melody does remember them.
* He is a wealthy billionaire due to being the President of Galar, a former actor, a CEO of two companies *and* a military general.
* It is unknown how many non-magic weapons he has, but it is heavily implied that he has an extremely large amount, judging by how many he inexplicably pulls out of his backpack at once as a gag, Besides the spear that most Porters have, his other magic weapons include a magic machine gun and a magic missile.
* His full first name is "Jim" and not "James," as he sometimes has to point out to others when they assume so. This is most likely due to his name being "Jim" being an invention of the English dub, as his Japanese name is Jotaro.
* One of his common nicknames, "Joot," is kept in the English dub but is lost in translation since it derives from his Japanese name. This left many made-up American viewers confused why somebody named "Jim" is often called "Joot."
* When he was younger, he learned to be skilled with weapons by studying at the Red Fountain School of Weapons (which is a general weapons school in this series) in Magix in the Magic Dimension.
* His wish is to be well-respected and remembered as the leader of GDI.
* It is unknown how he balances time running the government ofthe Galar region, running two companies, being a military general, and fighting evil, but it is heavily implied he is quite stressed with handling all his responsibilities, especially coupled with his PTSD. This may also be the reason he is a heavy smoker and drinker.
* He and the Primarch Porters' stories about how they got their Harmony Marks are unknown.
* Jim has the largest amount of 4th wall breaks in the series.
* Similarly to Event Horizon, the Guardians aren't aware of Callius Nightbringer's true identity until they eventually put two and two together, though unlike Queen Vera, Leucosia does not brag about how he's got Jim Porter under his control.
* Jim can still cry despite his real eyes being replaced with a digital eye screen, implying that he still has his tear ducts (since he lost virtually all his body except for his brain and part of his face). His digital eyes can also emote and move around just like real eyes, although he still has his real eyebrows above the screen.
* Despite being a cyborg, he (along with June) is still counted as a human in-universe for the purposes of species differentiation, such as when talking about humans and Pokemon or humans and ponies.
* He was originally not going to be alive in the reborn universe, but it was scrapped and he and Evelyn II are not absent from the LoC council.
* Despite being offered to by Katrina, Jim declines her offer to heal him back to his organic body, due to the fact he would no longer be tank-durable and immune to the health effects of his smoking, drinking, and doing drugs due to lacking the affected organs (lungs and a liver).
* It is shown in () that Jim knows how to drive a *subway* (a *train*), especially since other than Nina, he is the only magical warrior old enough to drive.
* Jim is sometimes seen drinking Duff beer (in the Japanese version, at least). This is a reference to the same drink from *The Simpsons.*
* He is the only magical warrior without a Witch form or a Preserver form, due to his Harmony Gem and Power Necklace being immune to shattering despite him still having Chaos in him like every sentient being. However, Nova also has no Preserver form either.
* He once makes fun of the Taisha by *wearing a Taisha costume and mask* and giving them the middle finger, which causes them to get furious and causes a huge riot, nearly even causing a *magic-technology war.* As a result, both Nanette and Elis have to stop him before a full-on war can break out.
* He is obviously the only one that is absent from the afterlife.
* His system will immediately shut off if his soul is taken, as shown when Queen Vera and her minions take all the Magis' and Pokémons' souls except for Elizabeth and Nova (and their Pokémon), though in this case their bodies all fade away once they are taken. After Katrina returns the souls, however, Jim reappears intact along with the other Magis and Pokémon.
* He is the second most active Magi in the series, thanks to being still alive in the real-world and gains knowledge about it after exiting the Multiverse to live on.
* In the equivalent chapter of "The Prism Between Light and Darkness!", he is affected by the Light of Hope drain around Alola (which is caused by Necrozma) that strangely only affects adults, and becomes lethargic, lazy, and dull as a result. This is the same for his Pokémon, Nina, her Pokémon (since evolution and aging are not the same thing), Arcturus, and the Taisha members currently in Alola, as well as Nova for obvious reasons, and he ends up binging on junk food, but Nanette has to stop him from binging before he can get fat.
* Whenever he gets embarassed, the circuits on his face heat up and create the effect of blushing.
* Most likely, his and June's souls are housed in their CPUs, though it has also been suggested they may also be in their personal cyberspaces. It has not been offically confirmed which one is the case, however.
