Appearance: Like his sister, Jimmy is blond, but in contrast, he has a much healthier complexion and his eyes are a darker brown. He is of average height, leaning on the taller side of the scale, but he is lanky, like a boy who is still catching up to his teenage growth spurt. From being in the sun so much, he has a very light spattering of freckles across the top of his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, though they’re so faint they’re barely noticeable.
Personality:
Though his upbringing could have resulted in Jimmy being quite a snob, he and his sister narrowly managed to escape that fate by the sheer fact that no matter what, Jimmy and Eleanor would always, at least, have to share with each other. Lively and outgoing, Jimmy makes friends easily with easy smiles and a very gentlemanly formality that has been ingrained into him. He is chivalrous to women (except Eleanor, maybe), perhaps in compensation for the lack of a woman’s touch in the Campbell childhood. He is not afraid to strike up conversations or initiate interaction, sometimes to the annoyance of more sullen peers.
In complement to that, however, Jimmy is a very independent and stubborn boy and he has grown some resistance to the idea that he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He almost considers it a disadvantage, sometimes, and is constantly trying to prove that he is more world-weary and knowledgeable than some Little Master of a rich household. Consequently, he's always the first one charging into a battle, brash and not quite mature enough to come face to face with the fact that he's not invincible.
This facet of his personality also takes form in the fact that when the going gets tough, Jimmy is a perfectionist. He has high standards for himself and for everyone else. He just expects people to do not only well, but as well as he thought they would. Jimmy will often push too hard. This, in combination to his energetic gung-ho attitude, makes him, at times, inconsiderate. In times like this, he usually needs someone to remind him that it's okay to take a breather. Jimmy has a lot of pride built into his character, and it makes for a good fighter, just not always a good sympathizer.
Despite that, Jimmy usually means well. Unforgiving as he can be, he has a soft heart for things he cares about, tends to spoil and indulge people he likes and can ultimately let his friends and family get away with any liberties they take with him.
History:
Jimmy and Eleanor were born in Pennsylvania as children of privilege to a wealthy family that, by some stroke of fortune, managed to retain their abundance despite the downturn of the economy by relying on the steel industry, which prospered despite the hard times. Born six minutes later than his elder sister, Jimmy nonetheless experienced the same pampered treatment that shaped their childhood. They grew up attended by many helping hands. However, by the stern hand of their single father, neither child grew excessively spoiled, even if sometimes, the naiveté of a wealthy background shows through.
That is, to say, the Campbell family has never known hardship.
Their education had been at the forefront of their father’s concerns, and he had them sent to well-funded and well-equipped institutions since they were old enough to attend. Both siblings proved to perform well in their studies, as well, and even though their hobbies and circles of friends began to drift apart - Jimmy to his baseball and shotting and Eleanor to her cooking and dancing - the two twins and their father remained a close-knit triad of a family. Of course, they had their trifle fights, as siblings are wont to do, but to put it simply: it was an uneventful, but fortunate life, better than could be said for many Americans during the era.
Adessi was the latest of the educational endeavors their father sent them on. Truthfully, Jimmy had wanted to attend a boarding school somewhere further away, perhaps even in a foreign country, having always been the more fiercely independent of the two, and, as a boy, eager to prove himself in a world of men, but ultimately agreed to wait until university for that. Their grades and affluence certainly did nothing to mitigate their chances of acceptance, and the fall after turning fifteen, both Jimmy and Eleanor were promptly enrolled.
