Jimmy Misstep
The well-meaning disaster. Jimmy is relentlessly optimistic, spectacularly overconfident and blessed with the dangerous ability to understand just enough about something to get himself into serious trouble. Every new job, business or life decision begins with some variation of “How hard can it be?” Jimmy rarely intends to do anything wrong; he simply regards rules, regulations and professional expertise as inconvenient obstacles that surely have an easier workaround. His solutions are usually logical for approximately three seconds. Strengths: enthusiasm, confidence, creativity, resilience. Weaknesses: due diligence, foresight, regulations, listening to Alfie. Natural habitat: immediately before a catastrophe. Inevitable destination: prison.
