02Appearance
At age eleven, Jorge has straight neck-length hair with long bangs across his forehead. He wears a short-sleeved collared shirt with a buttoned vest over it, ordinary pants, and simple shoes. A distinctive dark oval pendant is fastened at his collar.↗
As he grows older, he cuts his hair shorter and it flows to the side. At sixteen, he is depicted in a light-colored suit with a jacket over a shirt, still wearing the same pendant at his neck. His pants are also light-colored, matching his jacket.↗
03Personality
During his childhood, Jorge is initially cowardly and relies mostly on Lisa Lisa to protect him from his bully, Antonio Torres. However, he also displays a sense of self-actualization. Knowing he cannot rely on Lisa Lisa for his whole life, he begins to stand up for himself after a face-off with Antonio's father, and more so when both Lisa Lisa and his best friend Tsukumojuku Kato part ways with him.↗↗
Jorge becomes braver and more mature later on, being able to face the clown from Penelope de la Rosa 's Wound ability without any second thoughts just to save Penelope and her ex-boyfriend. When he moves back to England with Penelope and his mother, he distances himself from his peers even more after being bullied, although he is open towards those who share interests with him such as the Motorize siblings and Jim Graham. Even if he is aloof, Jorge does not shy away from expressing his feelings and even going to extremes just to reassure his love for Lisa Lisa when she was in Switzerland.↗↗↗
As a skilled fighter and a war veteran, he is knowledgeable with planes and automobiles as well as in battle tactics. Having an experience of being Tsukumojuku's partner in solving cases, he is capable of deducing valuable information in crimes with his intelligence.↗↗↗
04Abilities
Piloting
At a young age, Jorge develops an interest in building planes. With the help of Steven and Kenton Motorize, he remodels the scraps of one of their old planes into a new plane named Star Shooter. However, it isn't actually strong enough to support his weight so he can't fly it. Jorge mentions if he weighed only 100 grams then it would be capable of flying with him riding on it.↗↗
When he grows older, Jorge makes modifications to a seaplane in the Royal Flying Corps and also names it Star Shooter.↗
Jorge and his friend Jim Graham were the only pilots in the Royal Flying Corps who were capable of taking off and landing on a ship at harbor from the deck of an aircraft carrier sailing across the ocean. While fighting enemy forces, Jorge would perform impulsive tactics such as piling bombs in the empty seat next to him and then tossing them out of the plane to blow up enemy ships.↗↗
Beyond
Jorge has a Beyond named Trinity, which is shared with Jorge Joestar from the 37th universe and Dio Brando. By believing that he provides context as the main character of the story, his Beyond lets him act with courage. When he uses it, Tsukumojuku Kato takes him to where he needs to be.↗
Sharpshooter
As a trained soldier, Jorge is a skilled marksman. With his pistol, he easily targets bombs that Jim tosses out of the plane in order to create a large explosion. He manages to shoot down over 23 zombie pilots while flying his plane. Later, Vinegar Doppio converts a part of Jorge's skull into a phone. Jorge points a gun to his head and precisely clips off about two millimeters from the part of his skull that was transformed.↗↗↗↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Jorge was born in La Palma, part of the Canary Islands in Spain. As a foreigner, Jorge was constantly bullied by his Spaniard classmates, notably Antonio Torres and his gang of friends. Elizabeth would constantly have to save him by beating up Antonio.↗
Youth in Wastewood
Jorge moves to England with Erina and Penelope. He claims that the English people are unpleasant and naturally look down on everyone else while pretending to be gentlemen, believing that the Spaniards back on the Canary Islands were far better despite them being cocky and violent. Jorge transferred to Jonathan's old school, Hugh Hudson High, and is still bullied. Jorge's classmates are amused about him being a fallen aristocrat, and are also jealous about his mother's economic success.↗
Teleported to Rome
Jorge had somehow reunited with Lisa Lisa in an underground temple in Rome where nobody had set foot in for over a thousand years, as Lisa Lisa was trying to retrieve the Red Stone of Aja with Straizo and the other Ripple warriors. However, Lisa Lisa got separated from them. Lisa Lisa and Jorge talk about Jorge's new life in England and she hopes he isn't being bullied again. After talking about airplanes and how much fun Jorge was having, Lisa Lisa went quiet.↗
The Royal Automobile Club
Back at home, Jorge thinks about Tsukumojuku Kato and ponders about the future due to Japan's war with Russia. Later, Jorge has to have a jury trial because of him pleading innocent. He can't go to school while the trial is going on, so Penelope becomes his tutor once again. Since he has more free time, Jorge asks to get his driver's license. Jorge would normally have to wait one more year before he could get his license, but Erina didn't care much and let Jorge do as he pleased.↗
1907: Post-Graduation
Two years pass and Jorge graduates from Hugh Hudson High School in 1907 while still being under suspicion for Kenton's murder. Penelope and Erina plead for Jorge to go to college but he refuses. Jorge finally starts beating John in RAC races. Later, John calls Jorge to let him know that his boss wants to start working on planes next. Getting invested in airplanes once more made Jorge want to speak with Steven again.↗
Jorge and the "Gremlin"
One day while flying his Star Shooter, Jorge's plane is suddenly shot from the side. Jorge wonders if Jim suddenly snapped and betrayed him, but then looks to his right to see an enemy German Albatros fighter plane headed towards him. They shoot again, breaking Jim's Simone in half with several machine gun bullets. Jim falls toward the ocean but Jorge manages to catch him in his plane.↗
Battle in London
Jorge and Lisa Lisa theorize about Antonio and how he could operate in daylight by hiding inside human bodies like Jim's. They worry about his capability of quickly creating zombies all over the world. Straizo asks how they can fight zombies inside fighter planes, but Lisa Lisa assures him that Jorge will shoot all the zombies down. Just then, a Ripple warrior informs them that English zombies are attacking their base. Steven leads Jorge and Lisa Lisa to two of his Motorizing planes.↗
1920: The Marriage
On the day of their wedding, November 11, 1920, John notices that Steven hasn't arrived yet and offers to be the best man in his place. Jorge decides to quickly sneak out to the Motorize manor but tells Penelope, the maid of honor, beforehand. She asks why not anyone else go instead, but Jorge feels that it would be easier to go there himself. Jorge assumes that Cardinal did something to Steven since Steven didn't get along with his brother-in-law.↗
2012: Morioh
Jorge wakes up, lying on a bed with his injuries and fractures healed. The Italian man sitting next to him greets Jorge, with Jorge confused as to how he could suddenly understand and speak Italian. Vinegar Doppio introduces himself and reveals that Rohan made it so everyone in the house could speak English, Italian, and Japanese. Doppio calls his boss, Giorno, to inform him that Jorge has woken up.↗
Epilogue
Lisa Lisa and Jorge stay separated because she is afraid of losing him again. Since Jorge is legally dead in England, he moves to America and becomes a screenwriter in Hollywood using the pen name "Motorize Jump", waiting for Lisa Lisa to come back to him.↗↗
