Setting: inception wiki & eames History: There isn't actually a lot of things to work with, with Eames as a character. A lot of his background leaves it up to the viewer. A few of the things we are sure of however is that one: Eames has had military training. Two: He has a history with Arthur. Three: He's attempted to preform Inception before, but the idea did not stick. Four: He's more than a thief, he's a forger. We're first introduced to Eames when Cobb realizes that he, Arthur and Ariadne alone aren't enough to pull off the Fischer job. We meet in Eames in a gambling den in Mombasa. By one of the tables, rubbing two poker chips together. He and Cobb have a conversation about Inception and how feasible it is. He then proceeds to debate with Cobb about how to preform Inception. Insisting that to plant the idea into the subconscious mind, it exceeds more than going deeper into their subconscious and planting the simplest version of the idea. Cobb who is being followed by men of a rival company, who are out for his head arrive in the casino. He then recommends Cobb, A Chemist - Yusuf and then proceeds to distract the men as Cobb makes his escape. They schedule a rendezvous later and on running Cobb runs into Saito. The three meet with Yusuf to discuss the terms of Inception. Saito then insists he ought to be allowed to go into the dream with them. Here, in this scene, we see a hint of Eames arrogance. He easily tells Saito, who in some position, is his boss - that there are no room for Tourists on the job. Also this plays on the fact Eames is extraordinarily overcautious. They visit a dream den and test out Yusuf's compound. In the dream den is basically a room full of people who 'live in the dream' and are co-dependent to shared dreaming. Eames puts on a blank mask to this, curious but not expressing any sort of sympathy. Eames, Saito and Cobb then discuss the matters of the case. Eames takes a look and analyzes the relationship of the mark, Robert Fischer and his father. Eames is then informed that Fischer was more or less cared for by his godfather/gather's right Hand, Browning. Eames then spends time away from the team to study Browning and Fischer as characters by faking being in Browning s employ. This tells us that Eames is capable of acting and keeping a mask on. It also shows how Eames isn't quite the team player, but manages to keep himself necessary. We then proceed to see Eames planning in the warehouse with the rest of the dream team. He then forms the entire backbone of the Inception plan. The fact it has to seem self-generated. There are a number of back and forth's between the teams as they plan for Inception. Notably, most of Eames' ideas center around emotions. He also translates Maurice Fishcer's business stratagem into catharsis - by deciding on another fine point of the Inception job. The main idea that Maurice Fischer accepts his son for what he can create and wants him to stop following in his footsteps. Although, he is challenged by Arthur because Eames is all concepts they follow Eames idea anyway. He then breaks the idea down into the three dream levels we encounter in the movie. There is more planning as the whole team constructs the plans for Inception. There's a lot of display of one-ups-manship between Arthur and Eames during the planning sequence. They manage to get Fischer to sleep. The first dream level involves kidnapping Fischer in a cab. Fischer's subconscious ends up being militarized and Saito gets shot. Eames then finds out from Cobb that they are too heavily sedated that death leads to simply going into Limbo. Cobb pushes them into a situation where as Eames describes is, "A warzone with no way out". Eames is also the first one to back out because the stakes are too high. We see his first sign of self preservation here. Cobb then convinces Eames to go further with the job. Eames proceeds to forge into Browning. As Browning he then decides to play his cards as he talks to Fischer; attempting to reconcile the fix the relationship between father and son while exposing Browning's true nature. They then proceed to the next level of the dream. Eames forges into a 'lovely lady' that flirts with Fischer to steal his wallet. He gets proof that his first forging of Browning is successful. They go on the 'Mr. Charles' plan, where they tell Fischer he is dreaming. They enter Eames' dream. It's a militarized snow-base where Fischer has to open a giant safe of his 'memories'. Eames' level has back-up and failsafes, which are another proof of his absolute need for self preservation. But that He also hands a gun to the injured man to watch his back as he makes things explode. Fischer manages to get shot by a projection of Cobb's ex-wife and Eames has to go use a conveniently dreamed defibrillator on him to give Fischer a 'kick' and let him open the safe. So all in all, Inception is successful. Eames probably needs more cut of the pay and probably never wants to work with Cobb again. Personality: Eames isn’t the easiest man to read. He’s sort of like a black jack dealer who’s drawn an ace and a king on the first go but waits for you make a move, before he reveals a winning hand just to see how you react. Eames is a man who favors character. He would think of people as stories with chapters in-between sentences only he can see. He’s excellent at reading character and manipulating his observations to his advantage. He’s also quite keen on observing little habits and ticks. This need for observation is an assets as his career as forger. Where within the dream he takes on the shape of someone in the dreamer's subconscious. To make sure his job is convincing, there are quite a number of underlying requirements - not only the ability to pull of being an actor but the fact he has to learn how to empathize and react accordingly as the character he's playing. This requires studies of his targets habits and tics, from his gait to the inner workings of his target's psyche. He thrives off eliciting response. It also leaves him a bit more empathic and with a keener sense of understanding to other people. During the planning period for the Fischer job, it is Eames who suggests to strip the idea to the absolute basic. His grasp on psychology is clear and he makes it his business to understand people. He’s known as one of the better forgers in their industry, and for good reason. Eames is extremely thorough with his end of the job. He does the necessary research, goes the extra mile with the job and he’s got a back-up plan for the fail-safes. Even when he’s in pretty deep trouble somehow almost always manages to scrape his way through; and this isn't through luck. He's probably one of the more efficient members on the team; as he's constantly suggesting back ups and precautions. Despite the mentioned efficiency, Eames often under plays his own intelligence; choosing to seem not as clever as he actually is (although his spelling is not without it’s flaws, he’s not illiterate). Playing the comic relief card to a tee and making off hand comments about his terrible math skills. Eames makes himself essential without being too much of a team player. He’s made himself indispensable to the dream team by forming what is in-essence the root of the plan and managing to cover most grounds of it. Although a good portion of his work, is done alone. Eames also reveals next to nothing about himself apart from the fact, he occasionally enjoys a good gamble. There is nothing in the movie that hints as to who Eames really is; apart from having some animosity with Arthur. This may suggest that Eames isn’t as trusting as he pretends to be; or perhaps keeps work and personal life separate. He’s got a good sense of self-preservation. It’s not so much as cowardice as knowing when to perform a strategic retreat. Through the course of the film he takes the time to question how well done Cobb’s plans are once they’re set into motion. At one point, even offering to ‘sit it out’ and not go through the trouble. He understands the weight of what happens if they fail. He may be portrayed as a gambler; but this means he values his life as a poker chip. His safety is where he draws the line. This sense of self-preservation is also one of Eames biggest flaws. He's quick to abandon. If they were on a boat at the signs of sinking, Eames is the first one to drop everything and get a life boat before alerting other people that the boat is sinking. He's not keen on risking his life for anything and doesn't buy into the romanticism of it. Needless to say, he’s also probably the most grounded to reality out of everyone in the film. Eames’ tongue is a bit on the dry side. He has a sense of humor, and he tends to enjoy a bit of friendly banter. He would rather not be a ‘stick in the mud’, please and thanks. He's sociable despite keeping private and he sees the benefits of getting along with everyone. He's willing to have a bit of fun, which is refreshing when you work with faces like Cobb and Arthur. He's willing to toe the line a bit with his cheek. Casually tipping Arthur over when describing a kick, and nicking Fischer's wallet not once, but twice (flirting with him the second time). Eames is also quite imaginative and prefers to think out of the box. He doesn't mind encouraging people to dream bigger and hold high stance on creativity. He doesn't care for technicalities as long as things get done. A complete contrast to Arthur's working methods. He can smooth talk and he flirts when it means achieving his goals. So all in all, he's sort of like a morally gray James Bond whose fond of paisley and has no sense of color. Abilities:

They’re in the stages of planning Inception. The team had settled into a pattern of what he’s come to understand as warehouse meetings and roping in some new recruit named Ariadne. He’s fresh from a thirteen-hour flight from Sydney to Paris in Saito’s new airline and he’s a bit too groggy to come to terms with the whole situation but he obliges Cobb’s orders nonetheless. He delivers his findings to Cobb’s desk in HQ. A manila envelope containing the full psychological profile on both Fischer and Browning, a numerous amount of transcripts and whatever other information he could dig up by pretending to be an employee of Fischer-Marrow. He gives a brief summary and Cobb rewards him by handing him the address and the keycard to his hotel room. Cobb mentions something along the lines of booked you late and that there were no more rooms. He would have to share. “I could have done with a cardboard box on the street and a blanket. Adaptability is a strong suit,” he answers neatly. He leaves the warehouse and takes a cab to the hotel. He’s normally the sort to chat with the cab drivers but he’s much too tired to do that. All he wants somewhere proper to sleep and a warm shower. When he arrives at the hotel room the first thing he notices that it looks fresh from the brochure. There wasn’t any indication that anyone was staying there. The bed (noun, singular also king-sized) was properly made and luggage seemed to be neatly stored away and not at all in view. He would have said it was empty but the shower was on. Eames is grinning from ear to ear as he quietly enters as all the facts equate to whom he’s sharing the room with. He locks the door behind him. Setting the luggage down by the door. Lifting an untouched bottle of scotch from the Mini-Bar and pouring himself a glass. He opens the closet and although he’s greeted by the row of tailored suits he doesn’t give them a second glance as he focuses his attention to the hotel safe. He identifies the model and it takes him precisely seven minutes and four seconds to figure out the combination. He’ll retrieve a folder of files from the safe, shut it and close the closet door. He tosses the files to the bed, set the scotch on the desk. He takes off his shoes by the bedside and hangs his blazer haphazardly on a nearby chair as he’ll flop on the bed in time to the sound of the shower stopping. He uses the opportunity to flip through a random page in the middle of whatever his roommate has kept hidden to give the impression that whatever he did took him much less time. He does use the opportunity to scan for keywords and skim through the document to get a gist of what he’s reading and how much he can bullshit on the topic. As his roommate exits the bathroom in nothing but a towel. Eames will grin at the familiar man from the bed. “Hello, darling,” |
