Character Info:
Fandom: Disney's Treasure Planet
Name: James "Jim" Pleiades Hawkins
Age: 15

Physical Description of Character: Jim is around five foot six inches tall and has a slender young build. He’s fifteen years old and has a bit of a rebel look to him. Brown hair and light brown eyes, he can give you a charming sweet innocent look or a really disgusted annoyed grumpy gaze. His expressions tend to be very telling of his mood and speak volumes.

Appearance wise his attire rarely changes from a simple pair of pants, a tunic shirt and his leather jacket. All of which are a bit over sized for him and generally baggy. It’s comfortable though and so you rarely see him in anything that isn’t baggy. He always has a bit of that sloppy boy look, as if he just rolled out of bed or something. His hair tends to flop in his eyes more often then not.

Point in Canon: Taken from the end of the story where he has let Silver go and has returned home, but just before he has hugged his mother and started a new life. So pretty much just before he ending of the movie but not quite.

Personality: Brash, talented, strong and a rebel, Jim Hawkins does not like being locked down and stripped of his freedom. He’s a friendly sort of guy, sort of. Though he is a bit growlish and peevish at times. He has a temper and he has a bad attitude. Grown ups are just trying to tie him down, and others his age tend to be too annoying.

He’s a troubled youth who has issues with abandonment and his father. Because of this he’s a bit angry and very prideful, easily being prodded into a fight, be it with fists or words. His short fuse comes with quick understanding and easy forgiveness (to a point) though. He can talk to someone he just fought with a few minutes later and work with them just as well as not.

When faced with extreme danger, Jim is swift on his feet as well as mind. He’s not very educated but he’s smart, able to figure things out on the fly, and hope they work. He’s brash and reckless, jumping into dangerous situations with out fear for his life, mostly to protect others, but sometimes for his own thrills.

Bonding with people tends to be a odd process. He… tries to be careful, but he tends to make friends fast and easy, even if he is insulting them one moment, if a person is interesting and is taking and interest IN him he will bond faster then not. There are three types of people he bonds with swiftly. Fatherly figures (who are interesting and have good stories and are willing to take interest in him), boys around his age (because people his age, albeit annoying, understand better then not, right?) and innocent people, normally girls, and the young. Someone he can protect.

He’s a protector and a sacrifice kind of guy, though he doesn’t do it for little or useless reasons. When he protects its because it has to be done, and when he sacrifices it’s because there is no other way. He has no issue with either though, and will do what he has to for others.

History of the Character: James Hawkins was born to Leland and Sarah Hawkins on the small planet Montressor, part of the Queens Empire and located on the middle ring of the Etherium (a space like place that has an actual atmosphere to it, and not like normal space at all).

The boys parents were very young when they married, his father just 19, a charmer and brash young man, his mother barely 17 and a romantic. They married and had Jim, a bit too soon for either of them. Leland was unprepared to raise a family and thus was never very close to them. He tried for a while, the little family opening an inn on the outskirts of Montressor, but Leland just couldn’t cut it. Jim was very fond of his father, to an extreme point of idolizing him, but the man just never stuck around long enough for him.

Jim did everything he could to win the praise of his father. He worked hard around the inn at such a young age, or studied hard for him. He did anything just to get the slightest indication that he was making his father proud. If he was given a toy, no matter how beat up or used, he would treasure it with all his heart, because it was from his father.

When Jim was eight years old he heard his mother crying at a table in the inn. When he investigated, he saw his father, a pack on his back, leaving for the last time. He didn’t even say good bye. He just took off and that was that. Jim never saw the man again. He felt hurt, betrayed, abandoned and heart broken, feeling as if he just wasn’t good enough for his father to stay around for him. Maybe he didn’t try hard enough? He was devastated though.

As he grew older and the fantasies of his father returning started to fade away with the realization that it was a child’s dream and would never be true, Jim started to step out of his ‘hurt’ stage and soon became angry. He was angry with his mother for letting the man leave, for not doing better too, for not stopping him! He was also angry at himself for truly not being good enough for the man.

It was at this point that this sweet young boy started to degrade. His grades were slipping, he was skipping school more and getting into so much trouble that he practically had the law codes memorized. He started doing more risky things, running his solar sail board through restricted constructions areas and not caring, diving through turning huge sprockets and moving working machines, just for the thrill of it. He’s had a lot of time with the local Law bots in the last few years.

While his mother had basically just about given up on him, an etherium ship crash landed on the Inn’s personal docking bay, an old turtle like spacer falling out of it. He was being followed by pirates! “Beware the cyborg” he told Jim before leaving him a round map to something or other and then dying. This beings presence caused the fall of the Inn, invaded by pirates. He managed (with the help of family friend Doppler) to get his mother out and safe, and the three ran away.

They found the round ball to be a map, to the infamous Treasure Planet, a myth or story most have said, as it was so long ago, but in fact it was real. Very real. And they had the map for it now. This was what the pirates were after. Doppler (after convincing Sarah to let her son go) financed the trip and the two boys we re soon off to the Etherium ship RLS Legacy.

Upon the ship he was pushed off on the Cook, John Silver as his cabin boy, not exactly a place he wanted, but it was something. He was told grand stories from Silver, a 50 something year old bear like man of a spacer who had seem a thing or two. He was also a Cyborg, something that Jim at first was trying to be really careful of. The man was missing an arm and a leg. He was leery, but as time went on he started to grow on the man more and more. Grow close to him as if the father role he had been looking for had suddenly been filled.

Silver had a pet named Morph, a globular little pink blob that could morph into any shape it wanted. With this connection, and Silver as a father figure, he was making himself a nice little family.

Too bad Silver was a pirate, and so was the crew. They learned that Jim was the keeper of the treasure map and the only one who could open it. After a long mutiny of the ship and lots of adventures on the planet they were looking for, at long last the treasure had been found. Though while Silver forced Jim to help him find it, he intended the boy to walk away with part of it.

This was not to be though, as Flint, the notorious pirate captain who hid all his gold on this planet had boobie trapped it to self destruct whenever someone stepped into his room of treasures, at the core of the planet. His own body was still there, dead and resting with all his stolen gold.

Even Silver had grown to love the kid, so well that he actually let all the treasure slip away form his robotic fingers just to save the boy from sudden death. The two of them got out, and back to the Legacy, though it had taken damage and wouldn’t be able to get out of there fast enough before the planet exploded. All hope would soon be lost, but Jim had an idea. He would use the Space gates that Flint had used to travel to anywhere in the Etherium. They were still open, though they opened up onto the core of the exploding planet.

Devising a plan he pieced together a solar board with scrap metal and a broken blaster canon. Silver soldered it together, and they gave the plan - turn the ship around and head for the gate. Jim would whiz on ahead, change the location for Montressor Space Port and get them all out of there in a minute!

Pulling this off and getting the ship and it’s crew through the gate to home, Jim was considered a hero! Coasting the broken down ship towards the space port, Jim said a tearful good bye to Silver, permitting him to escape in a small boat so he didn’t have to stand trial. Morph stayed with him at the time, leaving his long time friend to run away.

At this point he believes he should be returning home from the space station but instead wakes up on this damn little island. His adventure just beginning.


Magical Powers/Skills: No magical abilities but he is pretty skilled. Jim is crafty and resourceful having grown up in a bit of poverty and having to improvise for a lot of things. He’s been seen in the movie taking extreme risks to his life (and his life only, thanks) while solar sailing in restricted areas, or pushing himself on a makeshift jet propelled board that he contracted out of a blaster canon and a shard of scrap. He’s got a talent with the fast thinking in dangerous situations.

Not only has he mechanical talents but he’s got a knack for puzzles and strange objects. Opening the map to the planet was relatively simple for him, where no one else has been able to do it. This was more like a sixth sense then anything else. On another note, he’s a fast little bugger that likes speed and can run pretty well. Short and swift he makes it harder to catch him at least. He’ll give you a good chase.

Weapons: An old pocket knife that he always has on him could be considered a weapon but really he doesn’t carry much on him.
