Oh, Tara. Jaime has no idea what to make of her, really, but he feels a sense of heart-aching sense of sympathy and compassion for her. After years worth of missteps in several different ways, he can't help but treat her gently, afraid of pushing too far and doing nothing but chasing her away, back to being homeless and starving in the streets. All he knows is that she's a traumatized young woman who's been through hard things in her past, things that mean that she doesn't tend towards trust or, for that matter, any significant sense of self-esteem. He's not sure what hurt her - or what made her hurt everyone else, from what he's heard - but he's bound and determined to help her. He just needs to figure out how.

This is Jaime's version of Bruce Wayne and is, therefore, the one that he likes the most. He's heard plenty of bad things about Batman - and the League's various mistakes and blunders - and he knows that some of them are true, but he'll still step up to defend him. By his money, Bruce is a good man, and a deceptively kind one too, having helped rebuild Jaime's house, defeat the Reach, and done a million other little things. Make no mistake, though - Bruce can be intimidating and impenetrable, and Jaime still doesn't feel like he has much of a relationship with the man, let alone the figure.

Ah, Klarion, one of Jaime's oldest friends here in this world. Klarion is so childlike in so many ways, so unused to life here on the surface that it's hard for Jaime not to cut him some slack for his less moral endeavors - and, of course, because he's his friend. Jaime's proud of the leaps and bounds Klarion's made here, whether it's connecting with other people, friendship, or just plain old opening up and trying not to commit quite as many crimes as before. He's one of the few people Jaime feels like can actually understand him, and what it means to be attached to someone else like they are. It's a nice feeling, having someone who understands.

Jaime has a soft spot for AIs and a soft spot for Booster Gold, and those two things have collided in one shiny, adorable, metal package. It's so nice for him to have someone who's actually on the same page as him - and it's still sort of astounding to him that Skeets is so much more well-adjusted than the humans he surrounds himself with - and who he can speak honestly and openly with. He's been watching Skeets' journey to self-actualization carefully and while it's a lot slower than Khaji's, he views it with no less contentment. Skeets is on the way of finding himself in a way Jaime suspects will culminate in doing the same things he's always done, albeit for different reasons, and he hopes Skeets can hang onto that no matter who winds up in this world. He's his own bot now!

It's funny - Jaime has all of these issues about Ted, but none of them have anything to do with the man himself. Jaime had spent so long in Ted's shadow that it's hard for him not to hero worship him, but at the same time, he feels this abstract sense of responsibility to and for him, for his happiness, and to make sure that his death wasn't in vain, and that he'll do right by him. Jaime feels a lot of guilt for the fact that Max came back, and with such success, and the fact that they haven't beaten him yet weighs heavily on his shoulders. When it comes to the person himself, though, Ted's been nothing but wonderful to Jaime, admirable in his support and how staunchly he sticks to his guns (even if those guns happen to be teasing the crap out of Batman), and Jaime's incredibly proud to be working alongside him, and incredibly loyal to whatever cause he wants to take up. If Ted ever needs anything, Jaime will be there. And now for the little matter of therapy...

Diablo - or Chato - occupies a strange spot in Jaime's social circle. There's a strange sense of camaraderie with him, an understanding that he doesn't necessarily have with anyone else, but Jaime's still understandably wary around someone with such a sordid past. That being said, he trusts the guy. He thinks Diablo really has turned over a new leaf, and doubts that he would ever hurt anyone without adequate provocation. Despite his rough demeanor and his tattoos, Diablo's never actually done anything to make Jaime distrust him, and he's been a good roommate, and Jaime's liked having him around. It's just weird, that's all.

Manabu's kind of a dingus. He's a passionate, hot-blooded, reckless, helpful sort of guy, and the sort of guy Jaime suspects he would have gotten along with a lot better a couple years ago, when he was a little more like him - not that Jaime isn't still many of those traits, but he's quieter and more thoughtful now, more inclined to resignation than he's ever been before, and that's led to a bit of a clash between them. He likes Manabu well enough anyway, even if things are still a little awkward.

Jaime never really knows what to make of Chilton. He doesn't particularly like him, and whenever they talk, he feels the expanse of differences between them - Chilton is well-educated where Jaime's just getting started, a man of rich tastes and money to Jaime's proclivity for saving up and buying cheaply, someone who always seems like he has something to say and a superior air about him where Jaime is perpetually insecure. He doesn't seem like a very nice person, but... there's a humanity there, and a connection there that Jaime finds difficult to wholly ignore. Maybe it's time to get to know him a little bit better.

Will has been a constant voice of reason in this world, evidently seeing the world with clear eyes and a logical, decisive mind, not apt to fall victim to histrionics, logical fallacies to prove a point, or the faultier discourses that Jaime's heard. It makes him feel like he can trust Will's opinion on matters, even if he personally disagrees, he's always bound to learn something new. More than that, though, Will's a friend, of a sort - he's been nothing but kind and caring, willing to offer a listening ear or, at the very least, some well-needed doggo therapy. Jaime hasn't spent as much time with him lately, but his fondness hasn't abated.

Poor Veronica. She seems way too normal for the world that she's been thrust into - or at least she seemed way too normal until it came to light that she's got some hidden traumas of her own. Nevertheless, she's a heck of a lot more normal than everyone else around here, and she always seems really attentive and kind - he hopes that this place doesn't put her through the wringer too badly.

Kanaya's one of those funny cases where Jaime's spoken to her a lot more as the Blue Beetle than as himself, to the point that he generally avoids speaking with her out of costume - knowing so much more as the Blue Beetle just makes it awkward. Nevertheless, he's seen her at her lowest, and he now believes that he knows her at her most stable (or as stable as she'll ever get in a place like this). They may not always see eye-to-eye, but Jaime genuinely believes that she's a good person who at least endeavors to do good, and he's happy for her and her progress.

As another one of Jaime's oldest friends here, he has a lot of affection for Laurie, and absolutely trusts her. She's gone through so much and overcome so much in her life (or, rather, her death), and he's really proud of how far she's come, and he's proud to be her friend. They're more similar than either of them could have ever guessed upon their first meeting. More than anything else, they're comfortable around each other, and that's one of the loveliest things you can be around another person.

Jaime's not looking for a replacement for his own, wonderful parents, but their absence has left a gap in his life that Erik works in part to fulfill as someone who's not quite a friend, not quite a co-worker, and not quite a mentor, but some nebulous thing that exists in-between. Erik has a sordid past, but with Jaime, he's never been anything but supportive and honest and determined to do the right thing. He also has the rare quality of making Jaime feel listened to and valued, and it encourages him to share things he may not share with others. It makes him feel a little foolishly like a kid again - something he doesn't see himself as - but it's nice. He treasures their relationship.

Sarissa is the worst influence on Jaime that exists in-game. He has no idea what it is about her, but when you throw the two of them in the same room, it almost inevitably ends in food and foolishness, and Jaime finds himself being carried away with things he wouldn't ordinarily do because it seems like fun at the time - sort of like the way he is around Eddie, but Sarissa's no Eddie. He wouldn't get so carried away if they weren't such close friends, though, and he has heaps of fondness for Sarissa, disaster though she may be. She seems to be doing better lately. He hopes.
KHAJI DA'S ASSESSMENT: Threat level: low. < Sarissa Theron >

Yusuke's kind of a funny case. Jaime had initially been thrilled to meet another Persona-user, and through Yusuke's help, managed to find out that his old friends in SEES who'd been alive to begin with are still alive and well, knowledge that he treasures. But besides that, Yusuke seems kind and helpful enough, but is oddly cold, and is clearly going through an awful lot that Jaime's exposed to by virtue of living in the same house as him, but has absolutely no context for. He suspects that Yusuke's polite to him and doesn't harbour any particular dislike for him, but he doesn't think the guy particularly likes him either. It's weird.

Jaime's spoken to Utena enough times to get a general impression of her, though he doesn't know her all that well yet. From what he can tell, she's an intelligent, well-spoken young woman with a good head on her shoulders, a tendency for philosophizing, and a general disposition towards good. He likes her an awful lot, and wouldn't mind getting to know her a little better - and hopefully whatever's been going on in her life to make her so thoughtful will chill out, just a little.

Archie Andrews is the one person that makes Jaime lean back and say to himself: oh my god, I'm old. He often wonders if Peacemaker felt the same way with him that he feels about Archie. He thinks that Archie's a great kid, eager to help and eager to do good, but he worries about his naivete and the fact that he doesn't know what he's doing - and that he's going to get himself killed. It makes Jaime a little nostalgic for more innocent days, but he's just determined to keep him safe. And if Archie ever runs into trouble while moonlighting as a hero - well, Jaime's prepared to take responsibility for that.

Kaneki's a mess. Jaime's known him for so long now, through his humble beginnings, to his life as Sasaki, and now the him that he is now, but through it all, his life's been tough. Kaneki seems to do his best to try to do good and be good - and generally succeeds - but there's an unhappines and a darkness in him that's wholly earned, but also beyond Jaime's comprehension. He reaches out on occasion, but suspects that Kaneki will never open up to him - he just hopes Kaneki will find someone who will understand him in the way he deserves.
KHAJI DA'S ASSESSMENT: Threat level: high. < Ken Kaneki > exhibits mental instability. I do not understand why < Jaime Reyes > continues his relationship with him.

Jaime doesn't know Elena very well yet, but what he does know about her reminds him extremely strongly of just about every other journalist he's met here. She's bold and intelligent and probably a little too ballsy for her own good (and remarkably resilient!). Jaime can respect the hell out of that, and out of her. He just hopes it doesn't backfire on her one day.

Persephone's a hard nut to crack, that's for darn sure. Jaime knows that there's a good person in there, he knows it, underneath all of that bluster and horrible luck (and short lifespans) and, well, alarming tendency to lash out at other people. He can't get a finger on where Persephone's at, not necessarily because she's a goddess, but because she's the antithesis of him: artistic and emotional and volatile and abstract and passionate and angry. Jaime just can't quite figure her out, but she has shown him and others enough bouts of unexpected kindness for him to want to get to know her better. They're on their way.
KHAJI DA'S ASSESSMENT: Threat level: high. I do not know why < Jaime Reyes > continues fraternization with < Persephone >. She is dangerous. I do not trust her.
