Why thank you!

I've been wanting to write something with Alexis and Jim for a while, now. Her relationship with him is drastically different than that of her and Lilian; with Jim it's an awkward sort of familiarity, but with Lilian it's more downright distrust.

They're definitely on the way there; particularly at the point of her main story at this moment. As Alexis starts growing more and more distant from Johnny, Jim kinda steps it up and is there in the ways he wasn't there when she was younger. I figured 6 years old would be a nice time to do it, 'cause after all that is more or less a critical period when forming relationships, especially with parents.

I've always see him as a scruffy little troublemaker who spends a lot of time wandering the streets. And taking from how he acts about Lola, I figured he was probably pretty protective about people he cares about--even if you don't see much of that in Bully, since he's fully engulfed in caring about her.

Thanks! I'm planning on doing one for Jesse, because his relationship with his dad is probably one of my favorite parental relationships of my OCs. Besides, the wiki deserves to know the Super-Dad that is Jasen Tyler!
