Unless you happen to be a close friend, he will take it as a personal insult if you call him something like Jim, Jamie, Jimmy Boy or Jae Dongerino. In turn, he refuses to call people by their nicknames, unless they absolutely insist.[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] A G E [/u] ●[/color] [indent]18[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] G E N D E R [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Male[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] O C C U P A T I O N [/u] ●[/color] [indent]High School Student (12th year)[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] L O O K S [/u] ●[/color] [indent]James doesn't exactly look like much. His height is average (5'8") and his scrawny lean build isn't anything to write home about too. Attractiveness is subjective, but even with his ulzzang-like features, he'll swear up and down that he's average in that regard as well. He possesses sharp black eyes and lightly tanned peach skin. There's not much marring it, but if you [i]somehow[/i] see him shirtless, you'll see a couple of burn marks on his hairless chest. Not exactly emotionally heavy scars, they're just the result of a cooking accident. The only thing he'll admit to looking good is his hair. His sole pride, James has short and straight chocolate brown hair, maintained as best he can. A look at his day-to-day clothing habits paints James as a simple dresser preferring timeless styles. Jackets, sweaters and artsy t-shirts with muted colors are recurring items that he is fond of wearing. He also has precisely one type of dark trousers to wear on normal occasions and owns ten identical pairs of said trousers for practical reasons.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://img.kpopmap.com/2016/02/suho-exo-glasses.gif[/img][/center] [center][color=7799bb][h2][u]P S Y C H E[/u][/h2][/color][/center] [color=7799bb]● [u] P E R S O N A L I T Y [/u] ●[/color] [indent]James rarely shows himself up as anyone noteworthy. He comes across as an amiable, polite boy and yet also mysterious and out of the way at the same time. Despite this, in his long history of living and growing up in Verona, his peers have learned to respect him in varying degrees. He has a strong sense of respect and dignity, both for himself and for others. Unless you do something to offend him, he will treat you with utmost respect and courtesy, but more importantly, refuses to let others do the opposite him. Considering his position as head of the Lincoln Memorial High School Student Body, this doesn't exactly happen unless you're one of those rebel types. There are few among his acquaintances in Verona that James can proudly call a close friend, but those who are will be subject to his more...embarrassing habits. Let's just be affront about it, he loves that endearing sensation of physical contact. It's a thing with Koreans, apparently. He'll often affectionately hug, tickle and play with his friends when given the chance to do so without harming his image as a benevolent dictator. Keep in mind that he does this to his friends regardless of their genders and is done without any sort of romantic or sexual intent. He makes sure they know that. James takes his responsibilities as both a leader and a person seriously. All that he does, he does it with the best interests in mind. His own or otherwise. He sees Verona as an extension of his being; its problems become his problems as well. He recalls being especially troubled when he saw people getting sick from out of nowhere, despite him feeling no such qualms when the same symptoms happen upon him. This makes him one of the most exemplar and active young man in the city, don't let that skin-deep humility fool you. See him walking down the streets when you're in a bind, he'll lend a helping hand, no questions asked (for the most part). He's also that kind of guy who loves it when a plan comes together. He feels out of comfort when tackling adversity with purely gut feeling and desires to be prepared for any sort of situation. Thus, to prepare for any sort of situation, he considers any sort of knowledge, connection and trick valuable. Not to make him sound like a manipulative sociopath, but the first things that come to his mind when meeting a new person usually goes, in order, "Who are they? How can I benefit from knowing them? Can I stop them from taking advantage of me and turn the tables on them?". Lots of overthinking goes on in every step he takes, but not enough to make him question the road. Where James falls flat, however, is when it comes to his natural stubbornness. Don't get me wrong, he's not opposed to outside input in his decision-making, but when it comes right down to it, he has full dominion over his opinions and not a single soul alive can forcefully get him to think a certain way. There's absolutely no compromising with him when he's at his worst. It's his way or the highway, but his way usually gets everyone there effectively. Comfortably? Not so much. To put it simply, James is a heavy-handed yet pleasant person to be around, always having the best for you in mind. Be excellent to him and he will most definitely be excellent to you in turn.[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] R O M A N T I C I N T E R E S T S [/u] ●[/color] [indent]To be honest, the topic of love has stayed out of James' mind until well into his second year of high school. It wasn't that he saw it as a distraction, it just stayed irrelevant for a long time. Now with a good majority of his friends having boyfriends and girlfriends in tow, perhaps it was time for James to get with the program. The idea of being together with a person he loves is nothing short of tantalizing. Plenty of wonderful women were present in his school, but none have yet given him that spark. That feel of intense caring and passion. 'Till then, he remains open. ...Though speaking hypothetically, the ideal partner for James is a cute-attractive (not necessarily beautiful) girl of his age group. She ideally has a sense of romance and cares for him as much as he cares for her. She also needs to be prepared for both his rough moments and his touchy-feely moments.[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] O R I G I N S T O R Y [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Born and raised right here in Verona like his father, Yoon 'James' Jaedong traces his lineage to an angry South Korean nurse named Yoon Hanmin who emigrated to the United States because Private Harvey Lloyd, an American soldier, owed her loads of gambling money. Somehow, someway, she tracked him down to Seattle and after a heated argument that was inches away from coming to blows, the two came to an agreement. Hanmin would lift the debt if he married her right now. Seeing how [i]smoking hot[/i] she was, Harvey found it best to agree. They settled in his old mother's house, but moved out to the small town of Verona a few years after. In an ironic twist, it was because Hanmin owed a nasty gang gambling money that she couldn't pay out. So goes the story that his grandmother liked to tell, anyway. Everyone has that feeling that the story was fabricated and her coming into Verona was much more boring than she let on, but Harvey died of tetanus long ago, so he can't testify! Anyway, Hanmin gave birth to a son, Yoon 'Andrew' Noya. He would later move to Vancouver for his studies and actually met his girlfriend and future wife there, Helen Ling. The couple planned to stay in Vancouver, but upon hearing that his mother was now alone after the death of his father by tetanus, they made the decision to move back there and keep old lady Hanmin company (and stop her from gambling). Andy found work at a general store and Helen ended up being the organist at the local church after the previous one passed away. Not long after they settled in Verona, little Jaedong was born, later christened James. James was and is a good kid. Growing up, he was surrounded with love and care, which prompted him to want to give others the same treatment. The level at which he cared for what was going on with the town and the people in it was incredible for a child barely 10. The rest of his childhood passed by without much excitement. James' passing into adolescence was, for lack of a better word, boring, but he wouldn't have it any other way. Middle and high school life seemed to suit him perfectly as it was there that he discovered his capacity for intellect. People expected this small fry to be just another nerd like any other, but James was not about that life, they would soon find out. Not only focusing on his own academics, he strived to make his peers' studies excellent as well. He'd go around offering help with homework and lessons, free of charge. He became renowned in Lincoln Memorial High for the go-to guy if you needed help with studies. Everyone knew him, a good number of them respected him. It shouldn't come as a surprise that some time later, James was elected as President of the Student Body. A great honor for him, to be sure. Eighteen years into life, and everything in his life was going all according to plan. Then the strange occurrences happened to Verona. Unstable weather, sudden sicknesses and James was no exception. He fell victim to the fevers and aches that came from nowhere, which culminated in a deep sleep... And upon waking up, he found himself floating above his own body, like a ghost. This development scared him shitless as first, but soon found that it was something he could control. This was a power. Perhaps he could use this to help people further.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://oi57.tinypic.com/10qjjpv.jpg[/img][/center] [center][color=7799bb][h2][u]T H E M U N D A N E[/u][/h2][/color][/center] [color=7799bb]● [u] S U P E R P O W E R [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Astral Projection[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] P O W E R C L A S S I F I C A T I O N [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Mystic[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] A B I L I T I E S [/u] ●[/color] [indent]James is able to separate his 'soul' from his body, essentially turning him into a ghost. While in this 'ethereal' form, his body enters complete torpor; it cannot move and his heartbeat slows drastically, giving the appearance of death. It's proven that other people cannot see his ethereal form. In turn, he cannot interact with the physical world at all. Touching people or solid surfaces will only make him pass through them. He also apparently is not affected by gravity while separating from his body; he can freely float, hover and fly.[/indent] [color=7799bb]● [u] W E A K N E S S E S [/u] ●[/color] [indent] Having only possessed this kind of power for a whopping three days, James can't quite say he's mastered this ability yet. For one, he can accidentally become ethereal at any moment. When under emotional duress, shocked or just plain dozing off, he could slip into the ethereal world just like that if he isn't careful. He also assumes that there is a limit as to how long he can stay ethereal as going longer than twenty minutes resulted in his body nosebleeding and shivering out of control. Also, James finds being in ethereal form liberating. So much so that remaining in his body as usual just feels like drudging through tar. Doing something as simple as walking seems like a chore now and that is going to affect him greatly.[/indent] [/hider]
