Signature Assets [edit]
Ten Years In The Factory Jim spent a long time on the job, and he understands workplace procedures, not to mention what it's like to wear a blue collar.
I Am The Brute Squad He's big and tough. It bears repeating.
Dumb As A Post, Not Deaf People don't watch what they say around Jim, assuming he's as thick as two boards nailed together. He's learned to take advantage of that.
Background/Bio[edit]
For a long, long time, people were glad that Jim Williams went to the factory. Good honest work, not that Mister Wick's boys didn't get respect. He was none too bright, but when a fellow can pull the drive chain back onto the axle, and hold it there for the whole shift while the mechanics straighten everything out, well, there are worse things. Yes sir, Jim was a valued member of the crew. "Your own little branch of the Blue Suns family!" the suits said.
Then there was the accident. Most of the workers thought it came from corporate - bigger quotas, but the same allowances for replacement parts and . . . personal stuff. "War's on, everyone will be tightening belts." One of the big motors in the basement just burst when Jim was down there, and he got hurt pretty bad. Company doctors told us he was lucky to be alive, with those gashes everywhere from shrapnel.
When he came back to us, well. Looked like he got smacked in the face by a cattle grid, and brands everywhere else. Hurt his throat, too, so's he could barely grunt. They couldn't fire him, not after someone got the internal report leaked ("cause remains inconclusive"), and there'd've been half a mutiny on site, but good old Jim got pushed out anyhow. Heard tell a couple days ago some freighter captain offered him a job, looking all big and scary. Well, he can take care of himself in a fight, but will that crew make sure no one takes advantage of him?
