Personality
James is a very friendly, kind man, willing and eager to make friends with anyone and everyone, even if they don’t want to. This causes him to have trouble telling when people are ready to end a conversation, don’t want him around at the moment, or just plain don’t like him. He enjoys discovering new races and learning their languages, seeing new ones as puzzles to solve. He’s also great at masking negative emotions behind a kind and jovial face, which can sometimes make it hard for him to express these negative feelings to someone else.
History
Born in space aboard the cargo ship S.S. Queensland, James worked as a crewmember as soon as he was old enough to walk and talk. He always enjoyed meeting new aliens at port and as new crewmembers, talking to them greatly, and taking interest in how they spoke back. However, life aboard the cargo vessel just wasn’t enough for James, who left for Earth and Starfleet academy once he came of age. In training, he put his interests to good use, becoming a communications and xenolinguistics expert, taking pride in his abilities. After graduation, he served first as an ensign aboard the U.S.S. Divergence, a Miranda class vessel, as a 3rd shift Comms. Officer. This position was nice to him, but he eventually received an indictment and transfer to a starbase after the captain discovered he was running a weekly poker game without his permission(The captain was just jealous James didn’t invite him). Eventually, James would make Lieutenant rank, and be reposted to a starship, the U.S.S. Tricyion.
