James' basic view of the world is that everything that happens has to happen for a reason, and that every and all life has some form of meaning to it. As such, the man finds killing and murder to be rather distasteful, as well as a belief that even the most evil and vile people in this world are deserving of redemption. His is a kind heart, one that beats with an empathetic rhythm that seeks to feel out and understand the thoughts and woes of others, but due to how he grew up with a lack of significant human contact and very little in he way f friends, he has trouble expressing these feelings, and often says things in a manner that may come off as odd or even insulting to some people. In an attempt to hide his social failings, James often takes to mirroring the emotions and attitudes of whoever he's talking too, as well as trying to be as agreeable and passive as he can be so as not to make somebody angry with him.
In regards to how he feels about His Aeon, the best of ways to put it is . . . conflicted. Raganavic is an unstoppable force of life, a creature whose vary presence invigorates those around him to an insane green, who can turn the most barren and inhospitable of regions in the world into places full of life and wonder. Even in his current catatonic state, rumors often abound about how, more then any other Aeon, his needs high-levels of security due to the fact that many wild animals, some being quite monstrous, are often formed out of the very dirt near the facility where his body rests. Yet, having part of the beast inside of him, and feeling it's latent thoughts, he knows that despite the wonder and beauty it can create, it is wholly unintentional. Raganavic is a creature of instinct and savagery, a harsh predatory beast who would have little problem destroying everything in its path. While both have an understanding of life, James' belief that all life should be respected often clashes with his Aeon's desires. Not only that, but the difference between thought and instinct is present in how they approach violent situations, as Jams likes to plan and prepare for things in advance and strategize, Raganavic seeks to only act and continuing acting until his foes have been defeated. As such, James often has trouble controlling the instincts that Raganavic unleashes upon him from time to time, the primal call of his flesh and bone urging him to leave his civilized mind behind.

James' life is likely different then most who entered the SOLDIER program. While it started common enough, with his family living an average life in Cressia, things began to change once James entered the elementary school. There, James was quickly discovered to be something of a prodigy when it came to things like math, sciences, and computers, etc. His mind worked on a level much more advanced then those of his peers, and as such, he quickly was removed from the school system entirely, his parents taking to putting him into special tutoring institutions so that his intellect could be challenged and so that his gift could continue to grow. By the time he came to be 15 years old, he'd gained several degrees from colleges institutions and had developed a few rather impressive patents in computer science. However, it was also at this age that he began to realize what his successes had done to his life over all.
His parents had become estranged and uncaring of him, often seeing him as just a way for them to continue their growingly luxurious lives, making themselves rich of his discoveries. His childhood had gone by in a flash, filled with nothing but studies and projects, he had no friends, especially none close to his own age, and he often felt a great depression from everything that had come to be expected of him. Whenever he sought to relieve his load or suggest that his family do something together,his parents would shame him for daring to be lazy. They'd rant on and on about how he should keep on using his talents to better the world, and so on and so forth. And being the diligent boy he was, James often complied, but as the next three years went on by, he felt control of his life slipping farther and farther out of his grasp, and his depression growing deeper and deeper. And then, one day, he heard about the SOLDIER program. A sect of specialized Super Soldiers, they were often asking for volunteers to take into their ranks. Being old enough to participate, James suddenly found himself doing something he never had done before.
Acting on impulse.
From that moment on, his life quickly fell into a swirl of chaos as his parents screamed at him for wasting his potential, his own questions on what had possessed him to joining, and the events at Fort Lulin when he finally arrived. Havin made sure to keep relatively fit, he was able to pass the regular tests to ensure he was able to fulfill the duties a Soldier needed(if jus barely) But then came the Bonding with his Aeon. To call the experience painful was an understatement, as he felt that his entire world had been thrown onto it's head, the intensity of the alien DNA merging with his own flesh and bone, the feeling of Raganavic's immense life energy flowing into him. He honestly wasn't sure if he'd survive the process in the moment, but he didn't regret his choice for a single moment the entire way through. It was, for the first tim in a long while, a choice that he had made for himself, and he was determined to see it through to the end. After the process had been completed, however, James noted that he felt. . . strong. Stronger than he ever had before, and with this strength came a feeling of control and power. While he knew that, as SOLDIER, he'd likely be forced into many terrible situations and would, quite likely, die in a battle somewhere, he felt that if it happened, then it happened. While he wouldn't say, at the young e age of 18 at the time, that he was content with his life up to that point, far from it, but he was to live his final moments out soon, then at least he had at least taken control of his life in someway before he end.

'Stay back. Assist the actual fighters. Strategize when things go wrong. Try to ignore Raganavic when he gets antsy.'
James' time on the battlefield is very much limited, but what he lacks in skill, Raganavic often assists him with(whether he asks for it or not) by surging the primal instincts within his very DNA. James' fighting style is to stay in the back and take out foes while his allies are keeping them busy, preferring to stay out of the bulk of the fighting whenever possible. His weapon load out consists of a simple semi-automatic pistol that he bears some proficiency with, often used when things get a little too close for comfort, and a hi-tech Compound Bow. One of the few hobbies he had that actually carries over to his new lot in life, James proves himself to be a pretty good shot with the weapon, and the power that the thing can pack is not to be underestimated. Along with just regular arrows, James can also employ a variety of special arrows. these include Stun Arrows(most effective upon human enemies, as that what they've been optimized for), Smoke Arrows, Flash-Bang and Concussion Arrows, Flare Arrows, Net arrows, and Grappling Arrows, with designs for other such arrows being in the works. Now, given the fact that he can only carry so many on his person and an emphasis on lethality, while something he dislikes, is the point of the job, he often only has 3 of any type of special arrows, and of those he has, he has about 5 of each, so he has to make each shot count when he uses them. as for normal arrows, he often carries anywhere between twenty to thirty of them at any one time.
As for a melee weapon, all he currently has is a knife, but he's currently going through training with various implements in order to find something that betters fits his style, though the knife isn't that bad of a choice, just not one he's sure of yet.
Raganavic's abilities often have to do with either smashing through the opposition or filling ones allies with his immense life energy in order to make them better and more dangerous.
Draco Cordis [Instinct, Predation, Agility] This is a passive ability that grants James two things: a form of life sense that allows him to identify most living creatures within 10-15 meters of his position, though he's unable to pin more than a general sense of the direction the life signs are coming from at his current level. The second ability activates whenever he's in a fight or feels as if he's in some form of danger, granting him a heightened reaction time through heightened senses, as well as faster reflexes in order to keep up with his increased perception of the world.
Draconus Aspectibus[Instinct, Ambition, Savagery] This is James' active ability, which isn't really that draining, but costs him the use of Draco Cordis when used, if only for a short amount of time (3-4 posts). This attack allows James to summon up to two smaller, simplified version of his Aeon's form(known as Aspects) from the immense life energy that flows through his body. Once summoned, the Aspects can be used to perform one actions, and then they immediately disperse, the remaining life energy dispersing into the ground, often leaving behind a bright spot of greenery behind as a result. Actions the Aspects can do are varied, but the commands must be simple and they can't go more than 15 meters away from James, growing weaker the further away they are. Some examples of their usages are Attacking X target with a bite, claw X target in the eyes,Take hit for X comrade, Move X comrade from point a to b, so on so forth. Now, the Aspects don't stay around forever, as they often let loose a large amount of the life energy that lets them come into being, often leaving them little time(1-2 posts) to actually act, meaning that James can't just use this ability without thinking. This ability can only be used when James is capable of using his Draco Cordis passive or is somehow filled with Life Energy in some other way.

Red&Green, Life, Instinct, Savagery, Chaos, Dynamic, Short-sightedRaganavic- A humongous testament to the chaotic energy that is life, his entire form, while manly stable as a Serpentile Draconic entity, constantly changes the components of it's body, not in an effort to adapt to their surroundings, but due to the spontaneity of the creature. It was thought by those who studied it that this ability to manipulate the very energy of it's own being was not just limited to it's own body, as the comatose form of the dragon often has to be cleared of new and strange creatures sprouting from both the dirt and the creature itself.
It's thought that ancient people thought of Raganavic as something closer to a natural disaster then a god or being, a fickle creature that cared not what happened, only caring about the present. It's a being that acts and never thinks, a destructive force of life that would leave vast swathes of Destruction and Death alongside equal, if not greater, amounts of life and creation.
James and his Aeon are in constant conflict, as one might expect from an early bond of a Newbie SOLDIEr, if a bit more so. The creatures desire to act and keep acting are beyond a doubt the hardest thing for James to resist, as it pushes him to follow random impulses and desires, and usually at the most inopportune times. However, there are times when the two are able to better coordinate their efforts, as these are the moments where James' over-thinking mind causes him to freeze up with indecision. In these cases, the Aeon's influence often forces him come to decisions quickly, and in these instances, where seconds are precious resources, he often finds himself grateful for the push. There is also a slight physiological change due to the Aeon's cells, as James often gives off quite a lot of body heat due to the high levels of life energy imparted upon him by Raganavic(and like the Aeon can adjust it's body,he can somewhat adjust the heat level), as well as people, animals, and plants often feeling somewhat invigorated around him as well. He's been told that he makes an excellent room heater on cold nights. He's not sure whether or not he should take that as a compliment or an insult.

This final ability allows for James to generate and internalize a great deal of life energy into his body, putting him into a form of hyper-state that causes a form of Raganavic to form around his body, similar to that of an aspect, only this one is much more transparent, and gives of lots of sparks of electrical-looking energy with every movement. In this state, a huge rush of Life energy is flowing through the area around him, up to five meters in every direction, and any allies caught within it will gain an increase in their regenerative ability, ability to heal, and physical capabilities. Along with this, James is able to from constructs from his Life energy in order to attack and deal damage to foes, mostly using this to add some extra oomph to his arrows, though, as he can create much strong ones comprised entirely of his Life energy. This form only lasts for, at most, 4-5 posts. After that, James will enter a critical condition as his body starts to shut down from all of the excess life energy entering his system, likely entering shock and death if not treated appropriately soon after.
