Personality: James is an optimist who always tries to see the best in people and situations and he is charming and capable of making friends with almost anyone. He's got a goofy sense of humor and often plays tense situations off with a light-hearted/laidback attitude, unless someone he loves is in danger at which point he is relentless in saving them. He is stubborn and determined. He is loyal, brave and has a strong sense of justice. He projects confidence, but he has a lot of insecurities around whether or not he's good enough for the people in his life. At times he can come off as cocky or arrogant. He hides his insecurities, preferring to look after others so he doesn't have to acknowledge his own needs. His love language is physical touch and he's a tactile person. James will try to hide anger or depression, preferring to pretend things don't hurt him and responding with gentleness or humour. He is respectful of boundaries and has a saviour complex. He can be brave, impulsive, brash, defiant and hides his fear behind his humour. James has quiet borderline personality disorder, which he often internalises so it doesn't spill out onto others. When James is pushed too far, he will snap and he can be fiery and passionate in his anger. It takes a lot to get James to snap, as overall he is a forgiving man. James is a people pleaser and he harbours a fear that the people he loves will leave him if he doesn't keep them smiling, because of this he uses humour as a coping mechanism. He has a reputation as a ladies man, because women are interested in him, but James is demisexual. James has always been athletic, playing Football through high school and university. James is an extravert with a natural charisma that has a way of winning people over. He is a romantic at heart, sentimental and tactile when it comes to the people he loves.
