➤ CANON POINT: Towards the end of Into Darkness, prior to Spock chasing after John Harrison.
➤ SEXUALITY:

Open. If there's a label that needs to be placed, it's likely pansexual due to his willingness to also involve himself with other species. Throughout the two movies, we have seen Jim Kirk primarily with women of varying type, including two different types of alien women that he's most definitely been intimate with. He's unquestionably close to the men in his life, and considering the assortment of partners he's been rumored to have I don't see it as a far stretch for him also to be with other genders as well. He comes across as a very self-assured character that is comfortable with himself, particularly in a sexual way.

➤ PERSONALITY:

James T. Kirk. He's bold, brash, and cleverer than he seems at first point, often times picking the most brilliant ideas out of thin air. At first glance, Kirk would be considered either childish or standoffish, depending on how you approach him and his mood. He's got a youthful enthusiasm that leaks through at every point in his being, nearly to the point of recklessness, which is shown at several points in his canon as being both a benefit and a drawback in his role as captain of his ship. While he is reckless, he does so in a way that at first may seem like luck. Most of what occurs seems to happen through sheer force of will, or proper circumstance when the stars align and things just seem to benefit Kirk and his crew. While Kirk is of course very lucky, a lot of what spurs his slapdash decision-making is a quick wit and a breadth of knowledge that very few people close to him are privy to.

In one of our first interactions with the captain, we see him take on an impossible task in his academy days - the Koboyashi Maru. A test that no one has yet won, a command simulation that Kirk manipulates the coding of to make certain that he's able to overcome(and therefore win) the simulation. We see from this example that he's not at all a saint by any means, willing to do whatever he can to make certain he can win - citing Pike's earlier conversation regarding his father and his no-win scenarios when brought in for question. Kirk is manipulative, going so far as to use another cadet to gain access into the testing system codes, but not in a way that's meant to be hurtful or cruel. He simply has a stubborn desire to win, a constant drive to succeed in his own particular situation, even if it's at a detriment to himself or someone else. We also can gather from this that he's again, highly more intelligent than he comes across, especially in a tech-savvy way - not many people can hack a test of Spock's own design, and Jim Kirk managed to do so with a shit-eating grin on his face and an apple in hand.

He's an extrovert in a big way. Kirk feels most comfortable around people, in crowded places - when he goes to find solace, when he's got a troubled mind, the first place he'll jet to is a social place, usually a bar. He's great with social graces, fluid in social situations, but we do see that he keeps most people at a comfortably safe distance. He only has a few very close friends that he relies on constantly for validation and allows them to see his weaknesses, and tries to keep them near him. When he's on his own, he tends to over think, and tends to brood more than he likes - he somewhat needs people. For all his ego and confidence, he can still be brought down to proverbial Earth, and even he knows he needs that. He has a very hard time with abandonment, brought on by his father's absence in his life and lack of a decent father figure until Pike shows up. He's an attention-seeker, to the point where he gets bored easy if the spotlight's not on him, and when Kirk gets bored, he gets impulsive. He's a fighter, brought on by bar brawls and a more well-trained background in hand-to-hand combat experience in Starfleet, and he seems to have grown an ability to mostly ignore physical pain.

While he wouldn't be described as death-defying by any means, Kirk regularly throws himself into danger's way. He would rather himself be in the line of fire than anyone else, especially if that anyone else belongs to his crew. He also has a desire to protect life in general, evident by risking his first officer in a stunt to protect a planet Starfleet's never even had contact with in order to keep them from being eradicated by a volcano. He's at his core, a good-hearted person who wants what's best, despite whatever consequences he may render. He's still very young for a Captain in Starfleet, and some of his decisions have reflected that. He's humbled by his mistakes that he's made, and attempts to make good on them as best he can, despite the great cost it has to him.

Regarding those that are closest to him in his life, he has a very complex relationship currently in development with his first officer, Spock. From being marooned on Delta Vega, to being choked against the helm and proving that Spock was emotionally compromised, their relationship is in a complicated transgression from something that is strictly professional to being more friendly. They continued to develop from another drawback that happened when Jim Kirk threw his leadership in jeopardy by saving his first officer's life; resulting in the loss of his ship and the loss of his first officer until he's reinstated in order to bring John Harrison to justice. Their relationship grows close when Spock is able to admit that he feels sadness as a result of Jim dying. The elder Spock has stated to them that this was a "friendship that would define you both", something which continues to develop despite the drawbacks at the beginning.

His relationship with his chief medical officer, Leonard McCoy on the other hand is one of familiarity and friendship. The two of them are close and have been since the academy, Kirk often dragging McCoy along, McCoy often following begrudgingly wherever Jim may go. He calls him Bones as a nickname, and McCoy often is his grounding force. McCoy has no qualms about letting Kirk know when he's doing something reckless and stupid, and because of this, he regularly listens and consults the older man for advice. McCoy seems to have been able to be more at peace with his fear of space and flying as a result, resulting to only silently cursing or making remarks as opposed to needing to hide in the bathroom with no windows. One can surmise this is due to Jim's influence.

He also has a relationship with the rest of his bridge crew that is very close and familial, his communications officer, Nyota Uhura being the first woman we see Jim trying to pick up on in the bar before joining Starfleet. Their relationship is more flirtatious than anything serious, though Jim is somewhat nosing in on her relationship with Spock, often involved in what little arguments they have, nudging her for details. He is somewhat of a mentor and a hand to guide for the younger navigator, Pavel Chekov, and the younger pilot, Hikaru Sulu, taking care to develop their skills as members of the bridge and being on the command track. He has a casual friendship with Scotty, the two of them seeming to trade off in saving each other's lives and bickering in regards to decisions about the Enterprise. In the second movie, Into Darkness, Khan uses his crew members, his "family", to have a hand in manipulating Kirk into working with him against Marcus, and this is something that explains his relationship with his crew well.
