Dark circles under his eyes, a short red beard, shaggy red hair unkempt from recent service. He keeps his back straight even when he tries to relax and eyes are always darting around, as if alert for danger constantly. His fingers tap against his side unless he has something else to rest them on. [/sub][/indent] ____________________________________________________________________________ PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE [indent][sub] Stemming from a streak of rebellion against his mother's influence, his career in the military from eighteen years old has been something rather concerning. Most of his career from Ranger school, to green beret, to eventual service in the French Foreign legion seemed to mostly stem from resentment and disagreement with his mother influence and actions. Especially with mother an influential politician and his father, the usual peacemaker between the two having passed in two-thousand. His current demeanor is one of the pragmatic warfighter having become a career military man in several armies, James shows signs troubled mind and anger issues when out of combat for prolonged periods. Without a task to devote himself too, he is to his infuriation as well unable to cope without some greater purpose to drive him forward. His service in the French Foreign legion then as a military advisor in Ukraine after the annexation of Crimea is enough to show he is a fit for the program so long as he has a clear objective. His communication and leadership skills very well developed, allowing him to listen and empathize with the men and women under his purview. He is also known for taking the time to listen and get to know those under him in how he operates with a focus on understanding them and directing them. An ideal candidate for the program if he can be kept kept focused, good squad for the hard calls to make.
