Past History

Hometown: Riverside, Iowa
First Memory: Waiting in vain for his mother to return home on his fifth birthday.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: The massacre at Tarsus IV, when he was thirteen years old.
Why/How? The agricultural colony was hit hard by a fungus that destroyed the food supply and led to a fierce famine. Four thousand colonists, half the population, were selected for execution, and Jim was on the list. He escaped by pretending to be dead until he could sneak away, and managed to survive for several months until the rescue ships arrived, evading notice and damn near starving to death. To this day, Jim has severe issues with food anxiety, and hoards rations in his quarters. He has trouble refusing any food or water offered to him, even if it's something he doesn't like, especially if it would otherwise go to waste. He also has a strong drive to be as fit as possible, for survival reasons.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: The mindmeld with Spock Prime left unintentional echoes of the Vulcan's memories in his own mind, and some secondhand memory echoes from those Spock melded with in the past, including Kirk Prime.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Most of them. Jim is not proud of his criminal record and is coming to view his lack of formalized schooling after age thirteen as a failing of his.
Biggest role model: Admiral Pike, now deceased.
Why? The man was the first person to actually challenge Jim Kirk on his own merits, and dared him to do better than his father did. Pike was Jim's mentor and adviser throughout his Academy days, and the year afterward when Jim took command of the Enterprise in Pike's place.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Just plain survival, first on Tarsus IV, and then after he ran away from home after recovering.
