Jimmy is a skeleton brought to life by a mad scientist for reasons Jimmy doesn't quite know. For days at a time the skeleton was strapped down to an operating table and left alone. He couldn't talk at the time and there wasn't much to look at except for a television in the laboratory.The television constantly played old noir detective movies like Boghart and Cagney. This is how Jimmy learned to talk. He began to emulate what he was watching on the tv, speaking in a style similar to a hard nosed private eye. Eventually Jimmy escaped after discovering that he was nothing more than a pile of living bones.Of course being a skeleton meant he'd have to hide.

That got him thinking, what would Sam Spade do?Living beneath a haberdashery for a while and learning how to sew from watching them eventually The skeleton made a makeshift disguise with gloves , glasses, the scarf, a wig, and a large brimmed hat to hide himself he set out to solve those mysteries himself. He adopted the name Jimmy Bones from his idol Jimmy Cagney and Bones because he was a skeleton.He found out he was rather good at solving petty crimes and the like. He had a knack for deductive reasoning and bad skeleton puns. So, eventually he saved up enough from the small crimes he'd helped solve to have an office space for James Bones Private EyeOh yeah, his skeleton is imbued with a sort of living shadow that has a variety of uses. Usually it's just an extension of his mind giving life to his thoughts like having the shadow play out a crime scene as he's figuring it out and the like…
