Previous Survey Answers

Describe character's sense of morals: Neutral Good. Jim's always looking to do the right thing whether or not that happens to be in line with the law or regulations. He feels it's his job as a Captain to die when necessary to save the lives of his crew or innocents when in danger. That isn't to say Jim's looking to throw his life away. He has a strong survival instinct. It's just that his determination to protect others comes first and unfortunately it's put to the test with frightening regularity.

If they could sum up the meaning of life, what would they say?: Life's a gift that can be taken away at any time, so make the most of it while you can. Do something. Do anything. Never give up.

What do they consider taboo (something they personally would never do): Jim will never order someone else to do something he's not willing to do himself. He will not kill anyone unless there's absolutely no alternative. Rape is not okay ever and neither is sex with any inappropriate individual (child, etc).

Describe character's etiquette:As a Starfleet command track officer Jim has taken so, so many lessons in etiquette and diplomatic relations. He knows when to hold his tongue and how to carry himself in a number of potential situations. That said, he isn't always the best at following through with those lessons. He leans personally toward the casual side of things though it's not for lack of education. It's a choice.

Describe character's sense of self-control:Either rock solid or terrible depending on what sort of self control we're talking about. He can be a bit obvious about certain feelings but anything negative gets locked away somewhere tight where no one can see it. Jim does not show weakness, uncertainty, or depression in front of others easily. He'll work through events that would leave others emotionally compromised and usually do so with no adverse effects to his work.

If we're talking about keeping his hands to himself however, that's another beast entirely. Jim can behave himself if he puts all of his effort into it but if he wants someone and they are reciprocating of his advances then silly things like the chain of command, interplanar commuting, or any number of other very legitimate concerns go out the goddamn window.

Spontaneous or structured? Spontaneous 100%
Instinctual or logical? Instinctual, though Jim is crazy good at tactics and can be logical and planned out when the situation calls for it. He's much more likely to go with his gut in most situations.

How does this character act in public? Calm, cool, and in command. Jim holds his head high and walks with the confidence of a man who knows what he's doing. When he speaks it's with the assurance that he's making the right decision. He's professional yet friendly, ready and willing to give orders and take charge of a situation or listen and give his professional opinion on any topic. Charming should be another word tossed into the list. He's always ready with an infamously charming smile when he needs to (or wants to) get his schmooze on.

How does this character act in privacy? Quiet, pensive, and withdrawn usually. His captain's air is not fake and nor does he not actually believe in himself but in private is his only time to let down his walls and express his insecurities and cope with his own demons.

There's a lot of baggage Jim keeps from others. When he's alone these troubles often surface and cause him sleepless nights, panic attacks, and great frustration.

Aside from this Jim has many hobbies that lend themselves well to solitude despite his extroverted nature. Jim's currently studying the Imperial standard language of Tamriel in his downtime and also enjoys reading, rock climbing, riding his motorcycle and all kinds of things on his own.

How does this character act around strangers vs. how they act around friends? Captain Kirk versus Jim is a good way to sum this up. Around strangers Jim is careful to put on his best face and act according to his rank as a representative of the Federation and Starfleet. Around friends Jim is much more relaxed and open--often joking and goofing around and eager to have fun. Much more likely to admit he doesn't always know what to do and ask for help.

How does this character act around family? Strained at best at least with his blood relations. Jim's not on good terms with his mother and only speaks to her when absolutely necessary. He isn't even aware of the status of his older brother, nevermind that he has a family of his own.

However Jim considers his crew his true family and they're becoming closer than ever during the five year mission. There's not much Jim wouldn't do for them.

How has this character most changed from youth? When Jim was little he was always doing his absolute best to get his mother's approval and to please the adults around him. He absorbed his school lessons like a sponge and tried his absolute best to never give his mother trouble. No matter what he did though her behavior toward Jim didn't change, and her marrying Frank before spending as much time off planet as possible did not make matters better.

With nothing he did pleasing the authority figures in his life, Jim began acting out. First in small ways--talking back, breaking a rule here and there. But when Sam ran away from Frank's abuse and didn't take his little brother with him, Jim lost his faith and respect for his elders. His acting out grew more and more bold and led to his mother finding out about Frank's abuse and sending him away to Tarsus IV to live with an aunt in hopes he'd settle down in a more stable household. Things did not go that way. After the slaughter and subsequent rescue Jim was even more entrenched in the idea that no one could be trusted but himself.

Add on to the fact that he grew up never once feeling like anyone saw him for who he was, only George Kirk's son, and you end up with an extremely self driven, mistrustful young man desperate to prove he has individual worth.

How have they remained the same? Jim's always had a fascination with the things that his father loved. He's always loved space and the idea of Starfleet. Always taken the time to listen to classical music his dad kept around. Read the books his father used to own.

He's never lost that sense of wonder and curiosity when encountering the new and unknown nor the desire to reach out and touch those new experiences firsthand.

Has this character dealt with the loss of someone they knew? Yes times a thousand.

If so, who? It's almost easier to ask who Jim hasn't lost. His father was dead minutes after he was born. His aunt died protecting him from Kodos' men during the slaughter on Tarsus IV. A huge percentage of Starfleet many of whom were Jim's classmates and friends perished during Nero's assault on the fleet when the terrorist was assaulting Vulcan, including an Orion named Gaila who was one of Jim's closer friends at the academy. Admiral Pike--Jim's surrogate father figure--lost his life along with many of the top command during Khan's assault on Starfleet headquarters. He's lost several crew members during his years of service and remembers every single one.

How has it affected them?These losses have left Jim terrified to get too close to people. He's not very good at not doing so, however. These are only counting the actual deaths of people he knows and not those who have abandoned him. With so many people leaving his life that he cares for it's difficult for Jim to get attached. It also leaves him borderline obsessive about protecting those people he cares for now.

How does this character deal with or react to-
Conflict/Danger:Whatever's necessary to survive. He values peaceful solutions in all cases but when that's not necessary he's willing to fight and to sacrifice himself to protect the lives of his crew and anyone relying on him.

Rejection: Trivial things Jim can shrug off or laugh off easily with no lasting damage. If it's a serious emotional rejection Jim tends to deal with it with numb acceptance. Not the first time, won't be the last time. If it's a rejection of his values, decisions, or opinions he's a lot more likely to argue back and defend his position. More likely to hold grudges and add said person to his list of people to prove wrong.

And if it's a rejection of his advances then he will back right off and apologize for overstepping and misunderstanding the situation.

Fear: In general fear tends to make Jim angry. He's taught himself to channel his fears into actions when there are lives on the line and to not let himself become immobilized by his own fears. When he's the only one affected this drive to action is almost always flight over fight.

Despite this, his fear of losing Spock, Bones, or Felix can affect his ability to command. If these three are in imminent specific danger Jim will become increasingly agitated and focused on his fears of losing them. It can interfere with his ability to do his job though often one or more of the other three can help him through this.

Change:Change is a fact of life and something Jim tends to embrace easier than others.

Loss:Isolating himself from others and drowning his spiral into depression with alcohol until he's able to cope with the loss

Sex/Flirting: Oh hell yes. Jim enjoys flirting of all varieties whether the intent is sexual or not. It's something he derives a lot of enjoyment from hearing and participating in. As for sex, well, there's not a whole lot Jim is unwilling to try and even fewer individuals he hasn't at least considered the idea of sleeping with. His casual encounters are more or less over however as he's in a serious relationship with Felix Caelus of Tamriel.

I say more or less because Jim is the sort of person to get completely trashed and then hook up with someone with no meaning or even real interest behind it if he was for example really upset with his SO and under the impression that they hated him for one reason or another.

Pain: Jim's tolerance for physical and emotional pain is ridiculously high thanks to surviving unsurvivable situations on more than one occasion. He's the last person to seek medical treatment if he's conscious and other people are hurt too. He does not enjoy it and does not enjoy inflicting it in most any case. That being said, he's very good at inflicting emotional pain in others and will do so to win an argument if he's invested enough in winning. Partially because Jim's competitive and kind of an asshole sometimes, and partially because after a point he will say horrible shit he doesn't mean just to try and get the other person to hurt him because he feels like he deserves it.

Stress: Embrace the headache, ride the gut wrenching nausea and push through to the other side. Jim doesn't enjoy stress but thrives under pressure and will sometimes give himself deadlines and stress just to force himself to perform above expectations.

Peer pressure: Depends on the severity. If it's just for fun or laughs Jim can be convinced to try most anything. If it's something serious Jim will dig in his heels and take only the actions he personally feels are best regardless of anyone else's opinions. He'll get by on his terms and doesn't need the approval of others to motivate him into doing what he thinks is right. They'll see sooner or later.

Guilt:Goodness but Jim can carry weight in terms of guilt. He blames himself for so many things and never feels like he's good enough. No one hates Jim Kirk as much as he hates himself and no matter how sound or correct his decision might have been he'll still question every action and blame himself for not finding a better way. He's not very good at letting go of his guilt either.

Being wrong:One of the best things about demanding the best for his crew is that Jim is well aware that there are others who know more about certain things than he does. In many cases he can and will defer to their experience. He relies on them to know their shit and isn't afraid to say so.

Being criticized:Jim's got a big ol' chip on his shoulder about needing to prove himself so he can react pretty negatively to criticism. He's prone to arguing and getting upset if the critique is on his orders or values and doubly so when he's confident of his actions. However, if the criticism stems from something he knows he's fucked up on he will grit his teeth and take it. Chances are he's saying worse about himself than the person criticizing him is.

Being insulted (superficially: name calling, etc): He can take an awful lot of teasing in good humor and can dish it out as well as he takes it when it comes to teasing, shit talking, and arguments. If someone is actually trying to get under his skin he'll try to ignore it, but if it's out of line for Starfleet protocol he can get really upset and hold a grudge.

Offending others:Unless he meant to do so, he'll always be quick to apologize to the other party and show his sincerity.

Praise:Yesssss feed his ego. Jim may act arrogant and like praise is just something he naturally deserves because he's clearly right and awesome but truthfully he craves any kind of positive reinforcement that he has value and worth as a human being.

Unless it's praise in bed in which case he is definitely of the opinion that he deserves all of it and is just as arrogant and self assured as he puts himself out to be.

Being loved: Like, actually being loved? Not sex, not respect, but love? Jim's still not used to this notion even though he's been told Felix loves him for over a year now. It's not been something he's been afforded for most of his life. He's inclined to think that the other person must not really know Jim if they're claiming to love him. Historically speaking, he's been right too.

Being hated: This is a much easier notion for Jim to wrap his head around. He's not really inclined to try and change that kind of opinion about him unless it's someone he personally likes and respects first.

Humiliation: If it's while he's on duty or in front of his crew Jim is apt to become furious and incredibly aggressive to the point of starting a fight with the other person. In private he's still going to get defensive and probably upset but to a much lesser degree and if it's earned humiliation then he just internalizes that anger toward himself and outwardly shuts down.

How does this character express-
Anger: People think Jim has an explosive temper and can be prone to arguing or fighting when angry but this isn't true anger. Jim's an argumentative person by nature and eager to prove himself in most situations he's passionate about but when he's actually livid he tends toward quiet cold fury and maximum bitchface.

Sadness: Bury it down somewhere unseen until he can get somewhere away from everyone and drink away his tears with alcohol of any kind. Even dubious drinks that may or may not be legitimately harmful to him.

Fear: FIGHT OR FLIGHT WHICH SITUATION WILL BEST AID SURVIVAL RED ALERT RED ALERT

Happiness/Excitement: When Jim's happy or excited everyone knows it. He's got a brilliantly bright smile, talks animatedly, gestures wildly and is quick to give friendly pats on the back or shoulder to convey his emotions. Even when he's exhausted but happy his smile is still there and while more soft spoken Jim still laughs quietly.

Love (Consider the "Five Languages of Love"):More than anything physical contact. Jim is always touching them even platonically. He tends to have a special smile reserved to that person alone that no one else ever has trained on them. He'll seek them out above all others and look for them when they're not nearby.

Lust: Jim's pretty deliberate and direct about making any feelings of lust clear if he's actually hoping to initiate a sexual encounter with someone. There have been people he's been quite deliberate on lusting after with no real expectation of anything happening in the past. These are usually people he can't/shouldn't be with and happened a lot at the beginning of his five year mission as he was determined not to fraternize with the crew and do his best to be a responsible, respectable captain. In those cases he never telegraphed those feelings nor made any attempt at engaging them sexually.

Stress/anxiety: He doesn't show it in front of the crew, though privately he's prone to pacing and running his hand through his hair. Licking at his lower lip and darting his eyes are also nervous tics of his.

Dislike (of a person, thing, or idea):If Jim doesn't like someone he is not afraid to let them know loudly and often. If the dislike is of a professional nature he's cooly civil but prone to throwing in snide remarks on occasion when they piss him off. If it's of a personal nature than he's liable to be much more antagonistic or even immature with the person (see: Ixis Naugus)

Approval (of a person, thing, or idea): Full body expression. Nodding of head, physical touch, praise, smiling. Jim wants others to be recognized when they to well.

How does this character generally express themselves? Jim's prone to touching people to signal his emotions. Holding someone's shoulder to support or silence them. Touching them on the arm to indicate they should follow. Clapping them on the shoulder if he's supporting them. He also gestures a lot with his hands and is very expressive in his face.

What does this character think/feel about-
Marriage:Marriage is nice for other people and a romantic idea but not something Jim has ever seen as possible for himself until recently. Even now, he views it as a means to an end rather than some life changing step. He can use it to abuse a loophole in regulation that may just let him keep a certain 'civilian' on board the ship with him...

Children:Hopes he doesn't have any from his wilder pre-Captain days and doesn't consider them an option for himself now or in the future. Likely cannot have them naturally anymore thanks to massive amounts of radiation exposure.

Family/Family Values:What family values? His family didn't teach him shit except for only relying on himself.

Children/Youth:Jim likes kids in general and gets along well with them. Doesn't mind watching them or taking care of them. Would probably make a really good dad despite his own apprehension about the topic.

Old age:This has never been something Jim has ever worried about until recently. He's nearly died so many times that he just always assumed he'd be dead long before old age was ever an issue. Now he views it with cautious optimism along with a healthy dose of trying to take better care of himself because he's seen what he looks like when he's older and this vain man has Opinions about it.

Sex:He will take sex as often as possible any way he can have it. He can do without but where's the fun in that?

Love:Currently he kind of resents it because it's making coping with the fallout with Felix a lot harder to deal with than he has other relationships in his past. He can't just let this go and move on. Not this time.

Friendship/Other relationships: Jim wants to befriend most anyone he meets. He treats almost anyone like they're friends whether they know/like him or not. Lots of times they come around and if they don't he's already moved on and befriended a lot more people. That said, there's very few people he lets get truly close to him.

Homosexuality: Sees no problem with it whatsoever.

The opposite sex: Women are very nice. The stronger willed the woman the more Jim likes them. Until falling into a committed relationship he tended to pursue women physically though not exclusively. People are people to Jim.

The same sex: Jim's a little more likely to get into conflicts with other men than he is women but it's a small margin. He also appreciates the male form. All of his serious relationships have been with other men though there have only been a few of these.

Money/Material things:Jim doesn't have much of a sense of money. He understands supply and inventory because paperwork is neverending aboard the Enterprise but
his time doesn't have much in the way of a concept of a paycheck. Jim lives comfortably and isn't wanting for anything so he's fine. The only material things Jim cares for all have sentimental value rather than any real worth.

Politics:UGH. Gag a maggot Jim hates dealing with them but it's part of the job. He especially hates being the 'golden boy' of Starfleet after the Nero and Khan incidents and all the bureaucracy that goes with it. His place is in The Chair not smiling and nodding for a photo op.

Religion:Until recently this was seen as an antiquated tradition that was worth studying for historical value but not something he gave much thought to in his own life. Certain events in Tamriel have made him rethink his stance on Felix's gods though.

Destiny/Duty:Destiny is a hot steaming pile of garbage and can shove it. Jim believes in forging his own path on his terms. That being said, he has a strong sense of duty and will own up to his decisions and take responsibility for them.

Magic/Myth:Awe and wonder since coming to the Nexus. His own world doesn't have anything like this so he takes great pleasure in seeking out as many different examples of magic as he can find in the Nexus.

Racism/Races in general: Jim has zero tolerance for bigotry and racism of any variety though he finds the old tradition of interhuman racism very confusing and more than a little embarrassing. He tends to treat everyone he meets the same and finds other species' cultures fascinating and worth learning as much as he can about them.

Science/Technology:Utterly vital for progress. Jim lives and dies by his tech.

Nature/Animals:Loves the outdoors and camping! While not a biologist by any means he has a definite interest in plants and animals of all kinds. Particularly partial to flowers though he knows next to nothing about them.

Modernity:Convenient and familiar. Necessary to getting as much work as he wants to do done in a timely fashion.

Antiquity:Jim's a huge history nerd and loves studying it. His current significant other is from a fantasy Ancient Rome equivalent as well so Jim's learned to appreciate it on many levels.

Their past:Best left never spoken about and forgotten by the ages.

Their future:At this very moment, lost and apprehensive. Jim is struggling with his place in both Starfleet and his friends' lives. He's about to turn a year older than his father ever got to be and what does he have to show for it? A broken relationship with the man he loves? A listless and immature view of his time as captain? A complicated and slightly stilted relationship with his close Nexus friends including Harrowheart?

Jim feels very lost right now and unsure how to move forward though he knows standing still is not an option.

Their role in society/job/etc:Jim despises the shadow he's been living in for most of his life and currently feels like a tool of Starfleet kept around for their convenience. He needs to find his own way.

Drugs and alcohol: Don't let it affect your job.

Killing/Murder:To be avoided at all costs unless absolutely necessary for survival.

Education:Learning is such a huge part of life and Jim finds it to be crucial though he's clear to put weight on both formal education and personal experience.

The foreign/unknown:Intriguing. The next page of a book he's avidly reading and never wants to put down.

How does the character view life? Fleeting opportunity for adventure and excitement. Embrace it to the fullest.

How does the character view death? There's definitely some fear at the thought of dying especially since he's already experienced it once. It hurt tremendously but he was terrified for it to stop and then it did and everything faded away. Jim doesn't want to become reacquainted with it anytime soon.

How does the character view society?It's not perfect but there's been some large steps forward toward a more peaceful integrated society as a whole within the Federation. He wouldn't want to be a part of any other faction.

How does the character imagine his/her own death?He doesn't have to imagine it. Jim is haunted by nightmares of his own death and the many many near misses that have come in his life.

What does the character want out of life?To find his own worth as a person. To make known the unknown.

What does this character consider "success" to be? Getting free of his father's shadow and being able to stand alone on his own two feet. Proving to everyone that he's more than the labels he's worn his whole life.

What would the character like to change in his/her life?Please stop abandoning him.

What motivates this character?Curiosity, duty, ambition, and a big heaping helping of spite to those who looked down on him or called him unworthy.

What discourages this character?His own self doubt and feelings of worthlessness. Making mistakes that cost the lives of people relying on him to make the right call. He won't run away from these mistakes but neither will he let them go.

What makes this character happy?New discoveries on his mission. Spending time with the people he cares about. Being right. Physical contact.

What makes this character sad?Loss of life. Upsetting the people he most cares about. Making the wrong call and putting his crew in danger. ~~Knowing he'll never be buff~~.

What makes this character angry?Galactic terrorists. Antagonizing himself or the people he cares about. Talking shit on the Enterprise. Ixis Naugus. How Felix is enough like him that they share the same bad qualities as well as the good.

What humiliates this character?Having his mistakes made a spectacle of. Learning that someone has read/ca read his thoughts.

What most describes this character's personality?Thrill seeking leader with everything to prove.

Psychoanalysis (Describe why they act the way they do):Jim's abandonment issues have left him staunchly self reliant and with a severe lack of self worth. It's why he's the first person to put his life on the line when danger is possible or present. He's been told his whole life that he is worthless and doesn't deserve love or even to live. It's why he's so critical of his every failure and why he's so smug when he feels like he's right about something.

He craves attention and recognition and this behavior reinforces his recklessness and thrill seeking.

Does it stem from childhood or an event, or chemical?His mother's neglect, Frank's abuse, and Sam's utter abandonment of Jim have definitely shaped his issues but being labeled as 'unworthy' by Kodos on Tarsus IV cemented these ideas as 'fact'. He's been struggling ever since to prove it wrong.

Jim is the sort of person to get completely trashed and then hook up with someone with no meaning or even real interest behind it if he was for example really upset with his SO and under the impression that they hated him for one reason or another.

...Felix get over there and tell the man you love him RIGHT NOW FFS.
