James John Corbett's page

NAME: James John Corbett
NICKNAMES: Slim, Slim Jim, JJ
APPEARANCE: Slim is a man in his mid-twenties. His skin is tanned and weathered as a result of life in the wastelands, but his hazel coloured eyes betray his youth. He wears a battered leather jacket with metal plates stitched haphazardly into the lining, faded and torn denim jeans and a pair of dusty leather boots (only one of which still has laces). A fraying leather holster is strapped to his left thigh with a battered handgun inside. His dusty brown hair is cut jaggedly short, and stubble lines his jaw. His left eye is scarred from above the eyebrow to just below the socket.
GEAR: Weapons, toolbox w/tools.
LIFE: Slim was only a child when the nukes hit. His father, a military mechanic, managed to rally a small group of like minded individuals and along with their families they loaded up with supplies and fled. Unable to find a safe place to settle, they decided to stay on the move, scavenging and trading for supplies when able. By the time Slim hit his teens they had become a fully-fledged nomadic community. Slim’s father passed away just before the boy's 18th birthday, passing on the heavily modified 1970 Ford Mustang which had been his pride and joy. Not long after, a gang of Road Rats raided and butchered the nomads while they had set up a temporary camp. Slim managed to flee to a bartertown, and took up as a Road Warrior to make himself a living. He has been biding his time for years now, waiting and hoping to come across the raiders who ruined his family for a little payback.
PERSONALITY: Slim is pretty easy going, he prefers to joke about how bad the state of the world is instead of let it upset him. He is determined, yet pragmatic. He is not very emotionally mature however, and his tendency to crack jokes to lighten the mood can come across as insensitive at times.
MOTIVES: Though he would love to take a shot at the raiders who attacked his family all those years ago, his sense of practicality cannot justify a manhunt. Instead, he spends his time working for the bartertown and offering his services as an escort to the haulers. He is a good friend of Chop Shop, and knows he can trust the man with his life (and indeed he has on a number of occasions.
