Section 7 Chief Armand Reyne
"Don't ask about him. The more you know. The less you'll sleep. Trust me. I like him...he's like me...and I'd say the same thing about me"
James was a detective for 16 years after his episode getting him fired from the force in California. There he found something of a vague sense of balance as a police officer and a deep state conspiracist. He would routinely do several investigations into people of importance and amassed a massive treasure trove of important and incriminating documents, some being blatantly true until his various delusions and wild accusations crept in and got tacked on.
When Armand Reyne gained his position in New Helles James became very interested in him after being spurned on by rumors from other officers, tabloids and certain website. This led to a almost obsession investigation into him on his own part. At some point though, James was transferred from his prior region to new Helle's after taking a job offer from Reyne but not before burning, with Reyne's presence boxes and boxes of content and "evidence" against him. No one knows - besides Armand and James themselves, if he actually had anything legit and till this day, neither of them will say. What boxes he had left on others of political importance were taken in by section 7.
He's still regularly bitches about to Reyne about his work being classified from himself.
-will add other players they're down to formulate some fluctuations with James before the RP start -

Age: 42
Description:
A weather report for the mind of Jame's Orthic, Aka Lanker, AKA as his ex wife used to call him "Corpse Husband". We got, as always, a dark and distant storm blowing in across what was once a glowing, sunny day. It looks like some doom and gloom is coming in, so temper your expectation because any hope of a pleasant vacation is soon leaving here. We hope you don't like it warm because it's getting cold!
We suggest you wear a coat, something that can hide your face and has lots of pockets because otherwise you are going to exposed when the night rolls in. We hope you got a plan because that rain might seem light but it's gonna turn fast. I'm talking drizzle of suspicion, pouring paranoia, hails of hatred and one hefty pelting session of lingering lightening from that ever present "they" that's been hunting us and fucking up the summer skies we were meant to have for the last 35 years now. Always double check that your friends are who they say they, because identity theft is at all time high lately. Now onto-

!NEWSFLASH!
Male Announcer: James Expected to die BEFORE 50. THAT'S RIGHT! James is expected to drop dead before he even see's his next decade!
Female Announcer: Whew. They're giving him that long!?
MA: You're telling me. Then again. I thought he would of died years ago.
FA: If only, Paul. If only. Regardless. I guess we should talk about him now and get it over with.
MA: I suppose. James was a police officer since he was 19. He scored high marks in the academy and was accepted into the Californian local police force for a total 6 years. There he enjoyed a successful career and met his darling, super model wife, Samasa Hunson!
FA: Hold on, Paul! We got the wrong record. This guy sounds like...well...not a loser!
MA: Haha! Well, this should sound more like man we know. Shortly after, he became convinced that the local senator was...get this. Was a demon, Jane!
*sounds of unified laughter*
FA: What a total lunatic!
MA: I know! Anyone. He tried to bring evidence against the senator, including: throwing a bottle of holy water at that senator during a rally, live on air! His own friends and comrades had to arrest him and escort off to a audience while he just just keep shouting about the devil's pawns!
FA: Ok. This sounds more like him. I take it this is when he became convinced that his wife was actually a plant sent to try and keep a bead on him, or no, wait, is this after he went on to become a private detective when he kicked off from the force for his erratic behavior.
MA: Both, she divorced him the day he was kicked. Although to be fair, how many times can a woman tolerate being stalked twenty four seven to try and prove it. I suppose the police got tired of having to tag their own guy.
FA: Ok. Let's wrap this up. This guy even fails at being funny. This is pathetic. I guess it's pure luck that he managed to bust that grooming ring in Santiago sometime later. Turns out he can maybe be a pretty good detective. Maybe. Or maybe that just got the pitying eye of the agency to hire him again in a different section, well, until they moved him to New Helles after it popped up. He must of really got Reyne attention with his "personal projects"
MA: Lets. I guess if we were going to give a blip on what James is: James is a self pitying asshole who once he gets a paranoid idea in his head can't relax, no, not only can't relax, but gets WORSE and more aggressive and paranoid until its solved or settled. He could of been a pretty good detective once, maybe even happy, if he wasn't a schizoaffective creep who's so self absorbed that he thinks every person on TV is personally mocking him. I bet he thinks this broadcast is about him too.
*unified snickering*
FA: They say as you get older, it gets harder to change. But I don't think he could ever change. How long do you think those meds and that therapist will abate him around literal demons this time.
MA: Oh yeah. Dead soon, to be sure. RIP in peace and all that. Anyway. That's all for tonight. Sorry we didn't have something more interesting guys.

Ability:
Passed his basics physical exams last year. Fit and physically capable - for a human -
Has over 20 years of using small fire arms and has a consistent high score record for pistols at the shooting range. He's no ace, but he can get his shot more times than not and barely ever fumbles his weapon.
Has multiple years of experience being under cover and has done multiple undercover operative jobs across his prior employment in high risk operations.
Has a close understanding of how the inner world of office politics and police culture works. Is uniquely aware and understands the mentality of people around him, when his perspective isn't skewered by his rampant delusions and paranoias that is.
Has dealt with physical altercations and is a trained fighter. Is competent in boxing and kick boxing, but is not exceptional.
Exceptional eye for strange things and clues. Will normally see somethings others don't, but it can be hard to differentiate that from...well, seeing things that others don't.

THE RIGHT EYE
A eyepatch that covers James former Right eye after it was crushed a few years ago. The people who tore out his eye were gangster trying to torture him for trying to cheat them whilst undercover as a drug runner. He was saved by other officers making the bust.
The eyepatch has no distinctive markings from any other eye patch of its type, it's bland and sterile and looks interchangeable from the billions of them handed out for temporary use around the world for all sorts of eye injuries. Despite it's seeming utter mundanity, anyone who looks at the eye patch is given a sense that they are being stared at with an fearful, wide eyed, overwhelming intensity akin to meeting the gaze of a deer in headlights.
Effect:
"James has been on his shit again lately. I don't know what it is this time. He was doing so well, especially with the meds and therapist but ever since that incident. Well, he's been acting up and back to his "demon" bullshit. Oh, he ain't said it yet. But it's creeping in"
"Like how?"
"Oh. well. You know. He keeps insinuating that people appearance change all the time, small ways, saying they're more dark or insidious and shit. Saying that they were unnatural or otherworldly. He always change the story a little bit, especially about how they look. It's not even the memories about that moment either, he's doing to everyone. Ain't you notice the way he looks at people now. It's got that shifty, ratty, fearful tone to it. Like he's seeing something in our faces"
"You think he will fly off the handle again?"
"I think he's a time bomb. But the guy is good at what he does and he's loyal. I don't know WHY he's loyal. He's a schizo who think that even those who love him the most want to slit his throat. Maybe he's just loyal to spite us, to spite anyone that wants him to be...not a cop I guess"
"I'm gonna give him a week vacation and inform the therapist. Hopefully he should be fine"
PARANOIA: The Eye grants James the ability to see something true and horrible in everyone person, indicated by changes in their features. The change is always small at first, such as their faces getting a little darker even when in light or their smiles appearing more menacing and treacherous. These signs start off as small but grow rapidly each time he meets them until their entire face changes. This change occurs in a very symbolic: Such as those who have murdered children in their past having their own face change into a big eyed, baby face with wounds all over it.
The nature of what is shown can deal with any flaw or sin. Including emotional flaws like a constant need to push others away or more abstract and grey areas of moral imperfections, like having killed someone in self defense. When the right eye reaches it full morph, it resets next time they meet up and they appear normal, before changing again over the same period of time once more. These facial changes transform if the character has any new pertinent and dark engagements going on - such as a plan to murder James -
The Right Eye only works for people missing their right eye.
History:
The eyepatch history is pretty unknown. It's assumed that it slowly gained its powers through a mixture of James pent up negativity and trauma during his violence, once it was attached to him it's been slowly synergizing with not only what happened to him then, but the various mishaps and episodes in his life. The eye sometimes shows other people briefly as his ex wife or the senator he tried to accuse, as well as friends as criminals or threats as former friends he used to know in other forces. It is suspected, however, that the eye patch may of been used on a dying patent at some point who had similar episodes of Paranoia and since the patch was put back into storage before it drifted about in various reorganizing's and resupplies and ended up on James. Charging it with that prior spirit beforehand. But no one really knows due to the sheer mundanity and uniformity of the item.
