Appearance:
Upon first glance, James seems to have an air of regal and stoic confidence about him. A piercing glare, manly jaw and tall stance has the former athlete exuding power to those around him. His resting expression is a rather unimpressed look he tries not to direct at anyone, lest they think he's about to berate them or something along those lines. His hair is dark and thick, styled into a short cut that looks equal parts expensive and casual. His eyes are a dark brown, like most Asians (and unlike his faceclaim picture), and look rather sharp. James possesses a mildly tanned complexion and strong build, though he has been getting slightly flabby on his stomach. However, underneath all the aesthetic qualities his fitness has granted him, James is actually a pretty plain guy.
His casual attire consists of a dress or polo shirt, jeans and dark dress shoes.

Synopsis:
Winner of seven Grand Slam tournaments in his career, the former world No. 1's reputation has deteriorated over past few years. His prime was reached about ten years prior to Bonaparte's invitation. After becoming one of the few athletes in the world to achieve a Career Golden Slam, the fans and media began noticing aggravation and recklessness in his behaviour. Countless controversies both on and off the court dragged his image through the mud. A sudden back injury finally put his floundering career out of his misery almost three years ago and since then, the Boomer has been wallowing spending his days maxin' relaxin' by the sunny shores of Monaco. James now languishes in his wealth, coming off to others as a stern, antisocial and bitter man.

Notes:

• Fluent in English and Mandarin. His high school level French is barely passable but he can hold a conversation if he concentrates.
• Blood type is A-.
• Voice can become extremely loud when agitated, hence his nickname 'Boomer'.
