History: James' Wiki Page

Personality:

- James is confident, bordering on arrogance. He is guilty of pushing around people he finds irritating (see: Severus Snape) and showing off in order to be the center of attention. He can be boastful, loud, somewhat obnoxious, and far too pushy for his own good. The very definition of the tired trope "boys will be boys", James Potter requires a swift kick in the pants for being a brat.
- He likes being the popular kid and sometimes takes it a step too far when it comes to showing it, especially when it comes to Snape and the other racist POS Slytherins that are obviously beneath him. Frequently scolded by Lily but applauded by everyone else, James tormented Snape for much of his school career simply because he didn't like him. It is also insinuated that James tormented Snape because Snape was close friends with Lily, and therefore James was a bit jealous.
- That being said, James is also (deep down) a genuinely good person. His friends (that are alive and are not Peter Pettigrew) refer to him as "the best of them all." He was sorted into Gryffindor because he values the traits highlighted by the house the most -- bravery, chivalry, loyalty. James would die for his friends without hesitation and considered it the highest form of insult to not trust his closest friends. He is brave and chivalrous at heart, even if he can be a bit of a git sometimes. By his current canon point, he's grown into himself and has become less of a show off and more of a responsible mature human being (except Snape, who is still the worst, and still deserves to get pushed down a set of stairs six times a week).
- James is also an excellent student. He is first introduced in the series by Hagrid, who praised him (and Lily, his future wife) as being one of the best wizards of his age. James was made Head Boy despite not being made prefect first and was at the top of his class. He also managed to master the art of becoming an animagus in only three years, a feat that is not only impressive, but rather unheard of.
- James is also fairly selfless. Before James sacrifices himself for his family against Voldemort, he risked his life in order to prevent Severus Snape from being eaten by one of his friends, Remus Lupin, who happens to be a werewolf. While Snape swears that James only did it to prevent expulsion (which may have been true, or James may have been attempting to avoid traumatizing poor Remus), he still risked his life in order to prevent Severus from being harmed, as James was not transformed at the time.

Abilities:

- Magic: James, as mentioned above, is an excellent student and gifted wizard, particularly in the art of transfiguration. James is an animagus -- AKA, he can transform into one [1] animal at will. James' animagus form is a stag, which is definitely not stupid and is definitely majestic as hell.
- Athletic: James is an excellent Quidditch player and won at least one championship playing for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. His position is Chaser.

Augment Skillset: Pilot Augment.
Sample:

[Being a fish out of water is something James Potter is not used to, but for the first time in his life, James has quite a lot of sympathy for Muggle-born witches and wizards who suddenly discover 1) magic is real and 2) they are completely capable of performing it.

James is a pureblooded wizard raised in a pureblooded wizarding community, which means all of this technology and whizzing about is a bit new for him. Somehow, though, miraculously, he seems to understand the basics. He's in space, he's on a spaceship, and he can totally 100% fly this thing. Apparently. There's no need to panic. He'll be completely fine. He's James Potter, after all -- he has totally got this.

So when James turns up on the video feed, you can see a fairly handsome teenage boy in what appears to be in set of black robes. He's wearing round-frame glasses and has brown eyes, messy black hair that sticks up in the back, and a pin attached to the font that reads 'Head Boy' if you're paying obnoxiously close attention.

It took him a few seconds to figure out how this business works, despite having knowledge of it, and James attempts to project as much confidence as possible (though the observant viewer may detect a note of concern in that tone of his).]

Don't suppose this is very elaborate practical joke, is it? Pads? Moony -- Wormtail, laughs all around, very clever hallucination, shouldn't have eaten the tart...

[There's a pause before James exhales, his cheeks puffing out slightly before he continues.]

I'm missing my first round of classes, aren't I?
