Overview[edit | edit source]

A quiet, bookish man, James shares two homes in Hearth and New Masselburg with his partner Crest. He can come across as timid or a bit rude upon first impression, but cares very deeply about those he considers friends. While not currently employed, James spends most of his time writing and composing.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

James is a man of short stature, standing at a meek 5'3" even with 3" elevator inserts in his shoes. His dark grey hair is rarely seen long or undyed, generally sweeping down just above the rim of his glasses. Currently, he appears thin to an unhealthy extent under the many layers he usually wears, generally looking a bit under the weather. Grey hair aside, he seems much younger than one might expect, with soft facial features and rather high voice, but the pronounced limp in his right leg and the cane he always has with him may give the opposite impression.

Background[edit | edit source]

Growing up in a small household in Commonport with his parents and brother Joseph, James spent most of his early years gallivanting about that part of the city, not doing much of anything beyond playing the violin and telling tall tales. At the age of 15, however, he was forced to find ways to support himself after essentially being kicked out of home, and took up an apprenticeship at a book-binder’s store. He left three seasons later, finding ways to scrape by, legitimate (busking) and otherwise (petty theft) on very rare occasion. He managed to sustain a vagabond’s life style for the next year, learning as he went. It took another year for him to come to terms with himself, and settle down into a brief stint as a scholar, working with Edgar Bookman on a few publications. The two later parted ways, leaving James to return to Granthel at age 19 where he remained for two years, living alone in a small apartment. He set off again to travel after getting antsy where he was but, due to an unfortunate mishap with the captain, was left "temporarily" stranded in Hearth where he met Crest. It later became evident that he wasn’t planning on leaving, and was quite happy to settle down in Novania for the time being.
