BioThis is the personal log of Space Corps hard-light hologram Arnold J. Rimmer...
Fictional Journal for AJR from the tv show Red Dwarf, his character's cannon (or the majority of it) is from series one through to series six. Though some elements from the books (Infinity welcomes careful drivers, Better than life, Backwards and Last human) may be reffered to and kept.
Background:
Rimmer is the youngest of four brothers, John, Howard and Frank, all of whom are high-flyers in the Space Corps. His father was a half-crazed military failure, who made up for his own inadequacy by stretching his sons on a rack. His mother seems to have spent a great deal of time with more successful officers and Rimmer divorced his parents at the age of 14, only retaining access to the family dog every fourth weekend.
Graduating from Io House, Rimmer enlisted in the Samaritans. In one morning, six people committed suicide, including a wrong number who only called for the cricket scores. (Note: The papers dubbed the day 'Lemming Sunday.') With a maintenance course from Saturn Tech under his belt, Rimmer elected to enrol in the Space Corps and work his way up the ranks to be an officer that way, where his brothers didn't have to.
Rimmer entered the Corps at the level of third technician, and managed to climb the ladder all the way to second technician. He has taken and failed the astro-navigation and engineering exams 13 times. Despite this failing, Rimmer continued to lie to his mother. While his father suffered a series of strokes, he told her that he had reached the position of 'Rear Admiral Lieutenant General.' In reality he was still making sure the vending machines didn't run out of fun-size crunchy bars.
At best an incompetent fool, it was Rimmer's failure to repair a drive plate correctly which caused the cadmium II leak that killed the ship's crew. He died also, but was revived as a hologram to keep surviving crew member Dave Lister sane. Rimmer's personality was replicated exactly. His fascination with 20th century telegraph poles, his love of Hammond organ music and morris dancing and his enthusiasm for war-based board game Risk continued.
