Jim Porter

Jim Porter is one of the central main characters of the Pocket Monster Set. He is the leader, founder, and general of Team GDI.

Personality
It's hard to describe what his personalities are, he's almost emotionless but he's serious, has a gentle heart, and is loyal to those he likes, which is why his Element of Harmony is Loyalty. He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral or disinterested attitude.

Jim's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. His bio explains that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Jim as callous. Related to this, Jim is an extremely cool individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. While he was shown to be mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, Jim almost never goes as far as to lose his coolness.

But if there's nothing to do, then he is a simple, honest, direct, passionate, hot-headed, impetuous, and confrontational semi-immortal man. Furthermore, Jim is a foul-mouthed individual and regularly taunts his enemies, enjoying aggravating them. However, he's also a playful man and prefers fooling around over having any responsibility. By his own admission, his most hated sentences are "hard work" and "work hard". Jim has a fairly goofy side mixed with boastful nature and his love of pranks.

Like Raynor, he does what is right, even if it's the more difficult choice. He won't go looking for trouble, but he won't run if it comes looking for him. His musical preferences lie in country rock (he also prefers dub-steps and the real-life music from the 70-90's too). As a teenager, he wasn't fond of classical music. He doesn't hate easily, but when he does so, it's intense. He is also uncomfortable with formal wear and his Specialist form, preferring casual clothes, but rarely dresses up for a formal occasion when necessary.

He has an tendency of accidentally ora-ing someone who make him shocked or surprised (much to Cheren's chagrin). His favorite sea animals are dolphins. In addition, he hates loud women.

Pre-Series
Jim participated in many activities, including playing ball as a toddler, running track as a young boy and attending school. Throughout his childhood, he was supported and supervised by his parents. The details of Jim's eventual shift into delinquency happened by the age of 10-14. He became a soldier at the age of 18 and later got promoted to Unovian Army general, but eventually, he retired at the age of 38. Everything else about him is currently unknown.

Ever since he was born, he already had superhuman strength, senses, stamina, speed, eyesight and precision and the ability to copy any powers/abilities by natural, which surprises Sullivan a lot. During a trip to Pasio, he unlocked his Sync Power just after defeating some evil people bullying a girl, notably Nanette's grandmother.

Pocket Monster Set Season 1
Jim makes his debut in "A New Journey Needs Preparations" with his companions, Ellie and Chloe.

Pocket Monster Set Season 2-8
To be available...

Pocket Monster Set Season 9
Details prior soon...

At the last half of Season 9, when the PSSR took over all the entire Multiverse and mind-controlled every main character, Jim, Nanette and Tassadar the High Templar (along with Cheren's students) are the only ones who aren't affected by Phoenix's Mind Control and his mind control towers, but at some point during the final battle, Jim is knocked out and Tassadar died (he sacrificed himself to destroy the rest of PSSR remained on the Multiverse by channelling the last of his psionic energy combined with magical energy to them, which destroyed both himself and entire PSSR).

At the end of Season 9, Jim finds himself back in an bar at an unknown vacation island and found himself in reflection, alone. Staring at his Element of Loyalty badge, he then saw his grandfather Alexei enter the bar and asked what he going to do next, to Jim which he stated that he'll go somewhere where no one could find him and get a new job there. He then tells Alexei he's now in charge of GDI. After some moment of discussion, Jim finally leaved the bar, go to the port and boards the cruise ship.

Jim Porter was never seen again. Only his Element of Loyalty badge and his 3 Poké Balls were found in the bar.

After many years prior to Jim's last appearance, he now works as an marine biologist.

Forever All Stars
Details prior soon...

At the end of Forever All Stars, he made his final overall appearance by reuniting with his family, GDI and his own Zerg brood during the coronation of his granddaughter Evelyn, to which Evelyn realized that she finally saw her long-lost grandfather, who turned out to be Jim himself. After that, he goes back to being in charge of GDI once again, like he ever was. Eventually, after the week-long honeymoon of his friends' kids, the Teams of Harmony, GDI, and the Harmonix Clubs decide to combine their forces into one group (Confederacy of Magical Hopix and Harmonix) so that they can make sure that no evil ever rises again, though Jim still works as a marine biologist for a living. However, he still couldn't decide if he combines GDI with them into one group or just make GDI separated from the group.

After hours of thinking, Jim decided to make GDI separated from the group, which make GDI a sole superpower on the entire Multiverse (much to Nanette's initial dismay). Yet, Jim and GDI was wary of the PSSR's uprising or the awakening of the Angels of the Apocalypse, and some were indeed skeptical of whether Phoenix died or permanently disappeared from public eye.

Magical Abilities
While he knows some basic, first-level spells like telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes, Jim has four abilities. His secret ability is superhuman strength, senses, stamina, speed, eyesight and precision and the ability to copy any powers/abilities. His magic aura, like most Porters, is electric-blue in color.

Uses of Magic

 * Star Finger - Jim can forcibly extend his middle and index fingers to an incredible length, allowing him to perform sneak attacks and stab opponents from afar. The technique's frequency of usage decreased as the battles intensified. Using this ability requires precision and fast reflexes.
 * Star Fist - Works similar to Star Finger, but except he can extend his wrist to an indeterminate amount of length and punches target at a greater distance. A upgraded version of Star Finger.
 * Psionic Storm - A ability he copied from Tassadar. It allows him to create a storm of raw psychic energy. This is achieved by one closing his mind to the outside world, sending out psychic "ripples" that are disruptive to other lifeforms. This can be a disadvantage to his allies.
 * Stasis Field - This ability allows him to create a force field that disables anything to prevent them from moving, attacking, or using special abilities. Like Psionic Storm, this is also an ally's disadvantage.
 * Time Stop - An ability often used by Charlene (from Magic Within) and Charlie. When activated, Jim is able to halt the flow of time for a brief moment, causing everything around him to appear frozen in place. During this time-lapse, he is able to interact with any object or person within his range. Measures of time during Time Stop correspond to normal measures, as shown by Jim's unwilling reduction in the duration of Time Stop. He is unable to use the ability consecutively, requiring a few seconds in between each usage. Today, the ability lasted 5 seconds, but decreased over time due to neglect from its user. In Forever All Stars, many years after its initial use, Jim is only able to stop time for half a second, but eventually extends it to 1-2 seconds and then 10 seconds. In said arc, Jim can stop time via himself or Star Lucario (only when he shouts "Star Lucario: The World!").

Passive Abilities
'' Jim's passive abilities is much like his Poke-Stand, Star Lucario. ''


 * Self-Preservation - Jim possesses the awareness and reaction speed to protect himself in many instances that he seems unaware; halting a railgun round; protecting himself while frozen by Time Stop.
 * Super Strength - Jim possesses immense strength, being able to throw a Jeep carrying four men and a girl out of the path of an 18-wheeler or lift a Mammoth Tank with one hand, destroy large artificial diamonds or reducing PSSR's I-80 MBT into scrap metal within seconds.
 * Excessive Speed - Jim boasts phenomenal speed. He was able to intercept a bullet fired from point-blank range, and is stated to exceed the speed of sound.
 * Precision: Jim is incredibly precise, he can surgically remove an object embedded in a person's skull without ill effect, catch both a bullet and create a near photo-realistic drawings.
 * Enhanced Eyesight: He utilizes eagle-like eyesight throughout the series. He is able to see four kilometers across a desert, as well as identify meaningful details, such as a specific type of things in high-resolution images. He can also follow a card shuffle performed by a professional gambler, subsequently recounting the entire new order of the deck.

Trivia

 * Jim Porter is the most oldest and long-lived character among all main characters in the series, the second being his wife. Not only that, but he's also physically the strongest amongst the main characters, the second being Applejack.
 * If Princesses Celestia and Luna are counted as the first and second oldest and long-lived characters respectfully, then he and his wife are the fourth and fifth oldest and long-lived characters, the third being Alexei.
 * It's weird that Jim's considerably stronger than his Poke-Stand, Star Lucario, due to some unknown reasons. Even Applejack may be amused by this as she's a strong pony of her kind.
 * Jim Porter could be based on Star Platinum (Jotaro's Stand) from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders" because of his similar abilities and his battle cry.
 * While his personality is actually based on Jotaro Kujo from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders" and Jim Raynor from "StarCraft", a real-time strategy game made by Blizzard Entertainment, his appearance is based on Cheren.
 * Sometimes, Jim's Chespin and Cheren's Snivy think they look alike yet they're not.
 * In Forever All Stars, he looks like Scottie.
 * This casual outfit is also used for Jim in JEMA Act 7 (possibly because he wanted a new look).
 * Even though Luster Dawn and Bittersweet Cheesecake are the first ponies he ever met, he already knew the former's mentor, Princess Twilight Sparkle, from the start. This may be due to the fact that the Porters were one of the first family lines to bond with the ponies.
 * His father may have mentioned this surprising fact to him.
 * He is the only main character to ever be armed with weapons.
 * It is once said that the ability of summoning rocket-propelled chainsaws and drills (basically a type of drone looking like a chainsaw with a jet engine placed from behind, flying erratically at absurd amount of speed and cut opponents it sees) can be used by pointing at will.
 * The idea got scrapped and was replaced by Star Finger because it's too dangerous for anyone nearby.
 * He has a strong dislike towards Star Wars and Marvel films and disinterest of learning about the history of the real-life World War II and Soviet Union because of Phoenix's Infinity Gauntlet and every previous wars committed and many places conquered by PSSR.
 * That's why he says: "Next time if this happens, I will never watch any of the Star Wars and Marvel films or learn about the history of the real-life World War II and Soviet Union again!"
 * Not only that, but after the first time he recalled that, Nina realized that he broke the 4th wall and, from the second time onward, purposely calls him a 'cyber-crybaby', much to his chagrin. As a result, both would often get scolded if things go too far after that. However, after being called "cyber-crybaby" so many times, Jim shouts "SHUT UP!!!" loud enough to make everyone around, including Nina and the Defendix Club, stop thinking for a brief time.
 * He also blamed Thanos for giving Phoenix the Infinity Gauntlet he once had.
 * Being disinterested in learning about the history of the real-life World War II and Soviet Union, in general, Jim secretly dislikes Phoenix's ideology of communism. (In the roleplay, this remains even after seeing the Teams of Harmony and the entire GDI being mind-controlled and Bloom's execution.)
 * He even blamed the real-life Soviet Union (or USSR), Joseph Stalin and the creators of Star Wars because of PSSR's presences in the Multiverse, he also assumed that PSSR try to turn the entire Multiverse into a universe-wide Soviet Union.
 * In Multiverse Adventures: All-Stars EX, Jim's PokéPets (who are otherwise just his Pokémon) are his Charizard and Chespin, though, like Star Lucario, they can be Jim's Sync partner.
 * In the HMVJ Roleplay, his most common copied ability is time manipulation (an ability he copied from Charlie), Protoss's psionic abilities (like Psionic Storm and Recall), ability to control the Zerg Swarm, and Ellie's ability to manipulate technology. The rest is rarely seen.
 * Jim has the shortest Time Stop duration of 5 seconds, Charlie being 7 seconds.
 * If the series went on after the formation of the Confederacy of Magical Hopix and Harmonix and he did not separate GDI from the group, Jim would have been seen controlling the solider faction.
 * Among all main characters, Jim is one of the only main characters who cannot be affected by Phoenix's Mind Control, thanks to his strong will and the psionic powers he copied from the Protoss that blocked it, the other being Nanette due to her past life as Vahirom.
 * If Jim is corrupted and turned into a dark version of himself, his battle cry "ORA" is then replaced by "MUDA".
 * "Muda" means "useless" and "futile" in Japanese.
 * He has the same birthday as his creator.
 * In the Pocket Monster set, Jim and Cheren can sometimes be seen fighting. This is because their ideals often clash, leaving Nanette very annoyed.
 * In the Season 6 episode "The Dark Secrets", after Cheren calls Jim a brat, the latter goes way too far by ora-punching the former on the face and calling him a idiot. He has since regretted this as none of the main characters even spoke very well. The two then started to fight less often after Bianca, Ellie and Nanette become quite upset for learning what happened.
 * In the first version of the HMVJ roleplay, Jim goes way too far by throwing a knife at Cheren, eventually almost killing him. This really enrages Bianca a lot, as she doesn't want to lose her love interest. However, Mark (Cheren's PokéPet Snivy) takes the severe hit instead, leaving all three completely frustrated and Nanette scolding Jim hardly.
 * Because of this, this makes Ellie have no choice but to force herself to install an aggression inhibitor on Jim, as she doesn't want to see her first cyborg prototype going on a rampage once again, while Addison revives and heals Mark using Strength of Life. Since then, Cheren chose not to tell his students about the incident.
 * During the first half of Season 9, the two stop this habit completely because of what would happen if the Gym Leader's students heard them fighting.
 * In Multiverse Adventures: All-Stars EX, it is revealed he changed his mind about getting a job for awhile when Nanette is introduced to Leah and Parker.
 * At the end of the game and Forever All Stars when Jim is reunited with anyone and anything he knows, Jim reveals the truth to Leah and Parker that he is 80 years old, already has an family and once owned Team GDI.
