James "Jimmy" TideFuego

James "Jimmy" TideFuego is a character role-played by Jag3Dagster.

## **Description**

Jimmy is a easy-going, down-to-earth smart mouth from San Diego, CA who moved to Los Santos to finally be able to enjoy a close-distance relationship with his girlfriend of three years, June Tide.

## **Background**

Jimmy is the middle child of two sisters in the quiet suburbs of San Diego, CA. His parents are old fashioned, with expectations of their only son that he doesn’t necessarily want to fulfill. His dad is the owner of a local hardware store, and always expected Jimmy to take over. But Jimmy was always more interested in messing with engines and computers than lumber. However, Jimmy did pick up tips and tricks from his dad about handiwork. Jimmy’s mom has always been stay-at-home; being with her children gave her all the joy she needed. Their family wasn’t fancy, but had small luxuries here and there. Jimmy was raised to have integrity, and to value hard work to get where you wanted.

After graduating high school, Jimmy went to college at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA for Computer Sciences; graduating in 6 years with Master's degrees in both Aeronautic and Computer Engineering. After graduation, he was quickly picked up by Lockheed Martin as a Flight and Combat Systems Engineer in San Diego, CA. He was picked to be a part of the team that was commissioned by the US Navy at the North Island Naval Air Station to develop new flight tech for their Navy Aviators. It was in an Aviator Consultation Seminar that Jimmy met one June Tide, who was stationed at NAS North Island. After multiple interactions and many meetings, Jimmy couldn’t help but ask for June’s number. Though their first date was the night before June was deployed overseas, their relationship blossomed, and they kept in close contact while she was gone.
