Dr. Jim Thompson

Early Life And Backstory
Jim Thompson was born May 1st 1993 in Illinois, USA to Karen and Josiah Thompson as an only child. His father owned a farm, which is where Jim would grow up, learning how to shoot and do basic farm work at an early age. Jim's parents were somewhat overly religious Christians, causing him to grow up believing in god and other Christian values, though as of now in his life he's since became Agnostic Atheist. At the age of eight Jim got a German Shepherd he named Larry. Larry was Jim's only real friend growing up. At the age of ten Jim watched as Larry was killed in a farming accident involving his uncle, Bill Thompson, who driving a tractor while intoxicated, leading to Larry getting ran over by said tractor. The death of Larry left Jim somewhat depressed, though he ended up getting over it. Around the age of twelve Jim started getting heavily interested in becoming a scientist, leading to him focusing on scientific subjects in school. During highschool Jim never exactly had any friends, though he ended up having a small circle of friends, one of those friends being Mary Johnson, who ended up being his first girlfriend. Towards the end of highchool Jim and his friends ended up growing more distant, the group eventually going their separate ways. He ended up breaking up with Mary over an argument caused by him wanting to purse becoming a scientist and planning on leaving to go to M.I.T if he was accepted, while she wanted him to stay in Illinois to be with her, not wanting to have a long distance relationship. The break made Jim minorly depressed for a few weeks. Him and Mary never really spoke again after it either. Upon graduating from high school Jim did end up applying to M.I.T, which he surprisingly was accepted into. Jim's parents didn't want him to go off to college either, instead wanting him to stay and take over the family business, though Jim ended leaving anyway. During college Jim met a guy named 'Jared', who ended up becoming one of his closest friends during college, if not his only friend. Jared is who introduced Jim to marijuana and the two would spend their free time hanging out and smoking weed while listening to grunge and metal, Nirvana and Disturbed specifically. After, once again surprisingly, graduating from M.I.T, Jared left to get himself a well paying job and make a name for himself, while Jim ended up living in a low rent and somewhat run down apartment. He'd get occasional phone calls from his parents asking him to return home for about a month or so, until one day stopping completely. He ended up turning to alcoholism as a coping method after surprisingly being unable to find a job and as a result of the phone calls. Jim only ever considered returning home a few days before being approached by two Foundation agents. He was offered a job at the SCP Foundation as a researcher to study anomalous objects and organisms. He accepted the offer and was then sent to Germany to work at Area-17 as a junior researcher, seeing as they needed more ScD personnel after the SCP-008 breach.

Jim's First Day On The Job
His first day at Area-17 wasn't too important. His first assignment was just to clean the lab on a Friday and to help a superior with their work. He arrived to the area as Dr. Lightvale, Timotheus, Summer, and Miles were having an argument, walking in as they were arguing. After standing there awkwardly for a moment, he was greeted by Dr. Summer, who would end up being his (now former) girlfriend. Upon being told to by Dr. Timotheus, the two did a test on SCP-999, which simply involved sending a Class-D to interact with it. After the test ended the two returned to the research bay, where they wrote a report about the aforementioned test. The day concluded with Jim and Summer walking back to the foundation quarters, Jim going to his room, and Summer going to her's.

Involvement With 'Lost Honor'
Jim was barely involved with 'Lost Hono r'. All that he did during it was hide in an empty office with Summer, and that's about it.

The SCP-5436 Breach
Jim was promoted to senior researcher on his second day at Area-17 due to lack of personnel, meaning that he was a level three, and that he could now do more high risk and high level assignments. Upon asking Dr. Timotheus, Jim and Summer were assigned to 'Project Outdoors'. The two were told by Timotheus to make a schedule for when they would take SCP-5436 out of his containment chamber and let him walk around the halls. Something they (idiotically) never did. Jim and Summer's punishment was surprisingly not death, but instead to treat everyone made ill by SCP-5436 when he breached. Jim did so and worked in the medical bay for two days. On the second day of working in the medical bay Jim had a therapy session with Dr. Sonia Freemen, which was the first time he really interacted with her one on one. After two days Jim left the medical bay, done with his punishment. He still doesn't forgive himself for the breach happening.

Becoming The ARC
One day Timotheus and Katyln left Area-17 for the day to go to another facility so that they could speak with SCP-076. When Timotheus went, he left Jim and Dr. Seed in charge. Jim ended up proving to be good at keeping the place from burning down, which impressed and surprised Timotheus. Upon returning from his trip to the other facility, Timotheus came to check how the research bay was doing, and upon seeing the state it was in he promoted Jim from senior researcher to Area Research Chief in training. Jim, unsurprisingly, was shocked and happy at his promotion. After making his announcement, Jim and Timotheus entered Timotheus' office. Timotheus simply asked Jim to consider breaking up with his at the time girlfriend Dr. Summer. At the time all Jim told him was that he would think about it, and gave Timotheus no direct answer. Then, three days later, Jim approached Timotheus, this time with an answer to his question. He gave Timotheus his word that if his personal life got in the way of his work again he'd consider breaking up with Summer. After Jim said that Timotheus, satisfied with his answer, made Jim the full time Area Research Chief.

Jim's Involvement With Dr. Timotheus becoming Dr. Thalia
This occurred while Jim was still an Area Research Chief in trainging. Jim was the person who cured Dr. Thalia by contacting SCP-073 and learning how to make Timotheus' 'Elixir' better. After not being able to improve the aforementioned elixir himself, Dr. Timotheus (at the time D. Thalia) had to be brought to the medical bay after passing out, and Jim was left to find out how to improve the elixir and essentially saved Timotheus. After following SCP-073's instruction, Jim crushed up an SCP-500 pill and added it to the elixir, considerably improving it. He gave it to Timotheus, making him revert back to a man, and making his preexisting healing abilities much better, giving him immortality.

'Jim and Alpha's Great Weed Adventure' AKA '420-J'
After talking to Koli for the first time, Jim was given the idea to search the forest surrounding Area-17 for SCP-420-J. Jim presented the idea to Timotheus, who told him to take Dr. Alpha with him into the forest with him. The two left the research bay and made their way to the forest before beginning their search for SCP-420-J. They split up, Alpha going to look in one direction, Jim going in another. All Alpha found was coca plants, which he took, and Jim ended up on top of hill. Down near the bottom of the hill was a small baggy with multiple instances of SCP-420-J. Jim took the baggy and went on top of the hill, calling Alpha over as he did. Alpha then arrived at the hill and Jim and Alpha smoked one of the instances of SCP-420-J, becoming incredibly intoxicated by the substance. The two eventually made their way back to the facility, only to be stopped by the ISD and MTF as they reached the gates. Their drugs were confiscated and the two were nearly gunned down, however, Timotheus, being O5-10 at this point, arrived and showed his O5 card to the MTF and ISD, effectively saving both Jim and Alpha's lives by ordering the MTF and ISD to lower their weapons. Jim was also shot in the thigh by one of the ISD agents before Timotheus arrived. Jim and Alpha were then given amnestics as to forget about finding out Timotheus was secretly O5-10. Jim was then brought to the medical bay by MTF and after a moment Timotheus came to scold him for his actions. After Jim, not being able to remember anything that happened since he first smoked the SCP-420-J, asked Timotheus what happened to him and why he was shot. Timotheus only told him that it was 'classified' and that along with other certain things that Timotheus did that he thought was suspicious caused Jim to thing that Timotheus was hiding something, which he was.

"Tim, would you lie to me?"
Jim, still suspicious about Timotheus, got a visit one morning from none other than Timotheus. They chatted about basic thing going on with ScD, then Jim decided to talk to ask Timotheus a qustion. That question was, "Tim, would you lie to me?". Timotheus of course told him that he wouldn't, which in it of itself was a lie, and Jim proceeded to ask Timotheus if he was more than just the Area Research Director. He denied it, but then decided it was a better idea to just reveal that he was an O5, and then use amnestics on Jim. SCP-3599 was outside of Jim's office and learned about Timotheus being an O5, which caused him to then be contained. Due to the amnestics Jim then forgot about anything that happened in the past two weeks, and was put into the medical bay while unconscious in an attempt to explain why he randomly woke up without memory. Timotheus simply told Jim that he was captured by the Chaos Insurgency and was given amnestics by them, though Jim didn't fully believe that. Jim, his suspicion growing, left to his level four office to be alone. While there he decided that he could no longer trust Timotheus and became more paranoid by the minute. Dr. Rivera ended up also getting a bit paranoid herself and directly asked Timotheus whether or not he was an O5, which led to her being shot in the head by Timotheus, and her disappearance only made Jim more suspicious. Then, one day, Timotheus came to speak to Jim in his office. Timotheus stated that he knew information about SCP-5399, which Jim was told mere minutes beforehand was now only accessible by members of the O5 Council. Jim simply stated, "Tim, because of what you know....the 05 Council will decide your fate." To which Timotheus said, "I am the 05 Council!", confirming Jim's suspicions. O5-2 then nearly shot Jim due to him knowing that, though upon request by Timotheus, she didn't. Surprisingly. Jim wasn't amnesticated that time and went on to know about Timotheus secretly being an O5 Council member. He soon after regained his trust for him.

Becoming A Class-E And Suspended
Jim got bored in his office one day, and summoned SCP-6189 to his office and asked her to make him high. SCP-6189 obliged and made Jim intoxicated before vanishing. Jim then went to the cafeteria, ate, returned to his office, passed out, got a concussion, went to the medical bay, and returned to his office. Security guards then arrived at his office and took him to Class-E containment, where he would stay for hours until Timotheus was notified of him being there. Timotheus arrived eventually, and due to his rank and Jim no longer being intoxicated, he was released from containment. Timotheus, furious at him, ended up leading Jim to SCP-682's containment chamber and hung him over the pit of acid containing the SCP in an attempt to threaten Jim into never doing something like that again. He was then suspended and sent to his quarters, now being unable to return to the research bay until given permission. He would spend his days suspended in boredom, reading things on his phone, and other things.

Involvement With The Loss Of Sonia's finger
Sonia lost her finger as punishment for rummaging around Jim's office for clipboards, destroying it in the process. Unbeknownst to Jim, after leaving his office she was soon tracked down by O5-2, who then brought her to the execution cell. The ISD Commanding Agent, Rasputin, was then called in and told to just make her learn her lesson through interrogation. He in turn, without O5-2's permission, cut off one of Sonia's fingers and pulled out one of her teeth. Upon Jim finding this out about a day or so later, he felt like it was his fault, and still does to this day.

Jim Taming A Wild Koli
The same day that Sonia destroyed his office, Koli peaked into Jim's office as he slept. They stared at Jim while he was asleep, waking him up eventually. After a brief conversation about why Koli shouldn't watch people sleep, Jim let Koli have a marker they were fidgeting with, which caused Koli to consider Jim a friend, making him their first friend. Koli would end up living in Jim's office as a guard dog in the form a paper white genderless adult's body with the mind of a child. Jim, at this point in time, considers Koli his best friend due them doing literally nothing to make him mad at them. So far.

Jim's Birthday Party
Eventually May 1st, Jim's birthday, came. For his birthday he was only given a gift from Timotheus, that gift being multiple The Walking Dead comics, a flash drive containing Nirvana's greatest hits, and a napkin signed by Kurt Cobain. Later that day there was a drinking part arranged by Timotheus in the facility's restaurant, which nearly everyone attended. During the part Sonia had a small meltdown and was somewhat calmed down by Jeremy, Larry went off to stop SCP-6536's breach, the NPC s all had a good time, there was a drinking game played by Jim, Timotheus, and Alpha, and Sonia also drank for the first and last time in her life. After the party ended Jim returned to his quarters, while everyone else went to their own respective places.

Involvement With 'Bittersweet' As Well As Being Promoted To ARD And Unsuspended
Jim was heavily involved with 'Bittersweet'. The first time he got involved with it was when Sonia, not knowing of her soon death, came to Jim's quarters and gave him two clipboards. Those clipboards were here golden one and a silver one which she told him to give to Timotheus. She left after giving him the gift and returned to her office. After Timotheus made the deal about her getting two days to live with O5-6 and O5-2, he informed Jim of it. Jim, knowing about her impending fate, went to talk to Sonia one last time, thanking her for the help she'd given him before. The last thing he told her was, "Thank you..." before exiting her office, never seeing her again. Upon being informed of her death from Timotheus, Jim unsurprisingly had a small breakdown and it was one of the events that caused him to further delve into insanity. Due to the agreement that Timotheus made with the other Council members, he had to leave his position as an undercover O5, meaning that he would leave his position as Area Research Director as well. He promoted Jim to Area Research Director in the same day due to this reasons. Jim now keeps Sonia's golden clipboard on the far right side of his desk, making it visible to him at nearly any time. Jim now doesn't like talking to therapists because of Sonia's death. To this day Jim still thinks about her, though he rarely mentions her name to anyone.

Jim And Woodchippers
Jim first threatened to put someone in a woodchipper when he went to the medical bay to take inventory. Dr. Seth Callaghan commented on the clipboard Jim was holding, that clipboard being Sonia's old gold one, and infuriated Jim with the comment. He threatened to put Seth through a woodchipper before leaving the bay after bickering with him. Jim would go on to threaten to put others through woodchippers, though as of now he hasn't actually done so. Yet. "'I'm just gonna go before I do something really smart, like putting you through a fucking woodchipper.'"

The Final SCP-8515 Breach
The last time SCP-8515 breached she used her newfound ability of telekinesis(?) on Jim in the breach shelter, causing him to levitate above the ground. She eventually released him and left the breach shelter. Upon her return to the breach shelter Jim was one of the researchers who she hadn't killed in her frenzy and was able to safely return to the research bay.

The Death Of Summer And Jim Shooting O5-2
Upon being told about Summer's desk disappearing by Alpha, Jim raced into the research bay towards where her desk used to reside. Upon finding it gone Jim told himself that she was just transferred and that no harm had come to her, which he was wrong about. He got sent emails which simply said that she was indeed transferred, which was a lie, but Jim believed it. He replied to the emails and asked to be able to speak to Summer, however he never got a reply, which caused him to become somewhat suspicious about it. Jim eventually received a pistol, which unlike the other ScD personnel he could have because he was the ARD. He named it 'Jared' after his old friend, Jared Ballard. Then one day O5-2 entered the research bay to look for something. Jim, knowing how people have a strong tendency to be killed when she's around, walked over to her and asked her if she needed anything. She said that she didn't need his help, to which he replied by telling her that him being the ARD meant that he could quite easily help her find whatever it was she was looking for. She then told him that since he's the ARD he should be spending time getting the researchers to work rather than worrying about emails. Jim, knowing that if she knew that she knew about the emails she could give him an answer, asked her when he would get a response about being able to speak to Summer. O5-2 simply replied by telling him that he wouldn't, because as it turns out, she herself kill Summer due to her leaking information about the Foundation to the outside world. Jim, furious at her, impulsively drew his pistol and pointed it directly at O5-2, though upon realizing what he'd done, Jim attempted to lower his firearm, only to accidentally shoot O5-2 directly in the chest. After she was shot, she fell over and ichor began to leak out of the wound. Jim dropped the pistol and took a step or two over to her, hoping that the wound didn't kill her, although it couldn't he didn't know that, and she slowly started to get up off of the ground. As she rose sirens started to go off. Upon getting up from the ground, O5-2 grabbed Jim by the throat and lifted him off the ground, glaring at him from behind her mask, a small golden glimmer being visible where he right eye would be beneath the mask. She decided not to kill him, thinking that it would be better to let him live in fear, before throwing him against the wall. She told him that if he ever told anyone about what just happened that she'd killed him, to which Jim promised not to. She left the bay and everyone inside of the bay, excluding Jim, was given amnestics. Timotheus, now fully under the name of O5-10, then scolded Jim and took his gun from him. To this day Jim fears O5-2 more than anyone.

The Ball And Jim's Bionic Eye
The ball is Jim's greatest enemy. Upon breaching containment due to it's container being dropped, it made it's way to the research bay. Upon entering the bay it bounce around the place before slamming throw the window to Jim's office. It then messed his office up before flying directly into his right eye, somehow not killing him, making the eye no longer function, and throwing Jim back. He was brought to the medical bay and got the eye removed, being given a bionic eye in it's place. He now has something that resembles PTSD, causing him to hallucinate about balls.

Jim's Descent Into Madness, Brain Damage, And Ongoing Events
Jim had begun to lost his sanity after the death of Sonia, only getting worse with the death of Summer, and even worse after his researchers wouldn't do their work. His descent into madness over the past month finally culminated into him killing two researchers, one by his hand, and other shot dead by Koli upon him ordering them to do so. He's currently suffering from minor brain damage and has a minor death wish, though as of now he hasn't shown any suicidal tendencies. He is still trying to find someone to make his Area Research Chief, having narrowed down his list of people to only Dr. Seed and Dr. Abigail Cobalt.

The time's Jim Was Tormented By O5-6
The First time O5-6 harassed Jim using his abilities was in the cafeteria when O5-6. using his ability to shapeshift, altered his vocal cords so that his voice would resemble Summer's and let out a small giggle in the cafeteria, where Jim was at the time, to mess with him. Jim, upon hearing the voice of his deceased girlfriend, looked around in shock, not seeing her. O5-6, outwardly appearing as an African American male, reverted his voice back to that of one that would fit his current appearance and chuckled to himself in amusement of Jim's reaction. The second, and arguably most vile way O5-6 messed with Jim, was when he turned himself into Sonia using his ability. She (referring to O5-6 seeing as he was in the form of a woman currently) then knocked on the door to Jim's office. Jim got up from his desk and opened the door, only to see Sonia, who he'd though was dead and had already grieved for, in front of him. She simply asked him if he had any clipboards, which was something that the real Sonia would've actually done, and Jim didn't answer the question, instead asking how she was there and saying how she was dead. O5-6, still looking like Sonia, then told Jim that she wasn't dead, because she was right there in front of him. Jim continued questioning the situation, to which O5-6 told him that if he didn't want her to be there that she'd leave, which she did after speaking, not giving Jim a chance to say anything. Jim went to Sonia's old office after that, hoping that she actually was there, only to not see her. He returned to his office, where he found O5-10 waiting for him. He told Jim that it wasn't her, but rather O5-6, before then, just to spite O5-6, giving Jim level five clearance, before telling Jim to go see a doctor about his brain damage and leaving. Jim to this day hates O5-6 for that.

Cup Of Jim Incidents
One day while in the cafeteria with Dr. Summer, who by now wasn't his girlfriend yet, Jim made a joke about the time someone typed in 'Cup Of Joe' into SCP-294. He said, "I'm just hoping no one misspells it and puts in 'Cup Of Jim'.". Then, totally not out of hilariously metagaming, Dr. Gordon Woods entered the cafeteria and typed in 'Cup Of Jim' into SCP-294, which then dispensed a cup of Jim's assorted bodily fluids. Dr. Alpha then entered and did the same thing, not knowing what it would do to Jim. He passed out and was brought to the medical bay. After recovering from the first 'Cup Of Jim' incident, Dr. Henry Washington would end up typing in 'Cup Of Jim' into SCP-294 accidentally while trying to type 'Cup Of Joe' in an attempt to get coffee. Him typing that caused Jim, who at this time was the ARD and in his office, randomly lose his bodily fluids once again. Dr. Henry then again "accidentally" typed in 'Cup Of Jim', which caused Jim to pass out and be carried to the medical bay by Koli. While Jim was in the medical bay getting a blood transfusion after what Henry had done, Dr. Alpha entered the cafeteria and accidentally typed in 'Cup Of Jim' wanting coffee, however all that was dispensed was once again Jim's bodily fluids, making Jim once again lose blood, though he miraculously didn't die due to him being pumped with blood as it happened. Then while Jim was still in the medical bay from Alpha and Henry typing in 'Cup Of Jim', Jonathan Gordon-Williams entered the cafeteria, and meaning to type 'Cup Of Joe' in an attempt to get coffee, he accidentally typed in 'Cup Of Jim', causing Jim, who was currently still getting a blood transfusion, to lose more bodily fluids. That was the last time anyone typed in 'Cup Of Jim', because SCP-294 was then taken out of Area-17 due to how dangerous it was. As a direct result of the 'Cup Of Jim' incidents, Jim got blood poisoning due to the blood bags used to give him the transfusion being tampered with before getting said transfusion. He collapsed in his office and was taken to the medical bay by Koli. To detox him, Seth stabbed a needle with the detoxification substance, causing Jim to feel immense pain in his wrist. Jim recovered from those incidents and as of now hasn't had another.
