James Taylor (Fantasy Jumper)

**James Taylor** is the titular main protagonist of *Fantasy Jumper.* He is a 14 year old boy who one day comes across the mysterious Inter Dimensional Transporter (IDT) a device that can take the user to various different fictional worlds.

## Personality

James is by default a kind heated soul who is loyal to those around him and tries his best to be the best he can be. He strongly holds an idealistic belief that the people he's sworn to protect have every right to live a peaceful and happy life and refuses to let the lives of anyone be sacrificed even for the sake of peace unless they themselves are willing.

However that being said when James decided to become a fictional travelling "superhero" after first finding and using the IDT, he was merely doing so simply because he thought it would be fun and cool. It wasn't until he witnessed with his own eyes the excessive brutality MAFO is committing that he started to take his job seriously and care for the people he's trying to protect and had since then developed a deep grudge toward MAFO.

He can also be quite stuborn and short tempered, getting angry over very little things, causing some to call him a child much to his annoyance. Despite this, during his fight against Beerus he himself admits that he's similar to him that he hates not getting what he wants and can even get mad over things like food but nevertheless he also says that where he draws the line is the fact that Beerus is willing to kill innocent people over it which he cannot allow. James also tends to distance himself and prefer to be alone when in a bad mood. He also falls into an aggressive and violent rage upon at the sight of innocent civilians being hurt and/or killed.

He also has a sense of humor, making jokes with his friends during their free time and can also at times be a wisecracker during his fights with his enemies though that's mainly when he's in a good mood and believes he has the situation under control but nevertheless tries to finish his fight as soon as possible. However with that said he did get frustrated with Gotenks when he treated his sitation like a game and let the battle drag on for his own ammusement.

James also tends to punish his enemies in an "eye for an eye" fashion believing that evil-doers must suffer what their victims have suffered which often gets him into fights with other heroes with a no-killing policy such as Batman. Nevertheless he was still willing to reach a compromise by developing his own Karma Illusion technique which he can use to put the enemies into his victims shoes without actually killing them.

James also tends to make judgements and actions based entirely on his own emotions which can get him and his friends into trouble at times.

## Powers & Abilities

Throughout the story James becomes trained in various forms of martial arts and fighting styles and also becomes skilled with various short and long range weaponry. He is also shown to be able to perform various offensive and defensive magic spells and ki techniques. James was also able to develop his own, the Karma Illusion which can trap whoever he uses it on in an illusionary state where the pain they inflict on their victims gets inflicted upon them, only to eventually wake up from the illusion physically unharmed.

## Trivia

* The Karma Illusion is similar to the Ghost Riders Penance Stare, as both involve whoever it is used on feeling the pain of their victims. However the main difference is that the Ghost Rider uses the Penance Stare to kill his enemies while the Karma Illusion is physically harmless.
