Quirks

• Jim:
  • Collected Superman comics as a boy in Mississippi bought with his paper-route money. He still has the books in storage somewhere.
  • Understates danger in an obviously hazardous situation. "Over Korea I had left my afterburners on a few seconds long, ran out of fuel and was curious how I was going to get back to the carrier."
  • Always wears collared shirts with long sleeves and long pants to cover his scars.
  • Won't fly without his lucky chronograph on his right wrist.
  • Can sleep almost anywhere; during a hold on Holly-11 he fell asleep in the spacecraft and mission control had to scream into the mike to wake him.
  • Has a nickname for everyone that is neither flattering nor mean. For example, Cecilia is "Pretty," and Ariel is "Sparky."
• Shellshock:
  • Wants to be a superhero, but he's not always sure what a superhero is.
  • Distrusts doctors of all kinds. Just wearing a lab coat breeds contempt.
  • Has a bad temper, but is sort of embarrassed about it after a flare up.
  • Hates birthdays. The idea of them makes him crabby since he has none.
  • Doesn't read well. Literacy is not something he strives for.
  • Self conscious about his appearance near normals: "Are my spines showing?"
