{❝Like what you see?❞}
James has a mop of messy black hair and stunning, bright blue eyes. He changes his hair style often, sometimes wearing it long and at others keeping it cut short. He stands at a tiny five feet four inches tall and weights about a hundred and ten pounds — soaking wet. His small stature is the exact opposite one would expect from a Builder — and especially from the Keeper of the Builders — but James' leadership position comes from his brain. Despite probably being less physically adept than most people, the things he designs and builds are sturdy and reliable. He's hoping he's due for a growth spurt soon. He wears thick, black-rimmed glasses for reading. Generally, he wears collared shirts as few of the other boys will take them when they're sent up, and jeans. He has a thin scar on the left side of his face that runs from about the corner of his mouth to his jawline, but he doesn't remember how he got it.
{❝Just leave me alone.❞}
✦Cunning ✧Sarcastic ✦Introverted ✧Loyal ✦Spiteful
James tends to be introverted and prefers his own company. He enjoys the time he spends reading when he's not designing new structures to build around the Glade. Despite this, he can be quite fun, especially with his quick wit and sarcasm. However, after any kind of social gathering, he needs time to be alone and recharge.
His loyalty is easily won, but once lost, is lost forever. He can be vengeful, even spiteful, to people who cross him. He's generally slow to anger, but can be quite the firecracker once set off. Despite his small stature, he's not afraid to fight anyone and everyone. He can tolerate a lot of things, but one thing he won't tolerate is a bully.

Secrets:
⊙ James doesn't mind staying in the Glade. Life has settled into a routine and he's a bit too afraid of the unknown to know if he really wants to ever leave the Glade. Everyone else is preoccupied on finding a way out, so he never mentions this.
⊙ James has never given a thought about his sexuality, always far too busy with other things. He feels he can appreciate both males and females, but has never given an actual thought to being with one or the other.

﴾Remembered﴿
James remembers waking in the Glade at the age of twelve, three years and five months ago. At least, he thinks he was twelve, and he's been counting the months ever since. He doesn't know what month it was when he came to the Glade, but every time he's counted 365 days that have passed since that day, he considers it his birthday.
He arrived with no memory of who he was, much like the others. On the third day, his name came back to him. He spent a few weeks disoriented and shifting from job to job until the Keepers decided he wasn't good at anything and made him a Slopper. He hated the job and being treated like less than the other Gladers. He suffered through a year and a half as a Slopper before a nearby building happened to collapse while being constructed. James shook his head, and casually muttered under his breath how the design was flawed to begin with. The Keeper of the Builders overheard and asked James how he would build it then. James scoffed and explained. When he was done, the Keeper nodded his head, shook James' hands, and said, "Welcome to your new life as a Builder."
From then on, James helped with designing the buildings and helped to build them with his small stature as best as he could. He became Keeper of the Builders three months ago, when the former Keeper sunk into depression and then committed suicide by locking himself inside the Maze overnight.
﴾Forgotten﴿
James was born on March 21st at twenty-seven weeks gestation, along with his twin brother, Peter in New York, New York. After a long, hard NICU stay, the twins were released to go home with their parents. At the corrected age of three months, Peter passed away due to SIDS. James grew up without ever remembering his brother, but his parents would often talk about Peter and their were pictures of the twins scattered throughout the house. James grew slowly compared to his peers and developed some eyesight problems due to his prematurity but was otherwise healthy.
When he was nine, his parents moved him from the busy life in New York City to a more settled one in the outskirts of the state. James was gifted a Black Lab puppy for his ninth birthday, which he, ironically, named Snow.
On the night before his tenth birthday, a group burst into the home and attempted to take James. When his father refused, he was killed. The distraction, however, gave his mother enough time to make an escape with James in tow. They survived in the woods for a few days before a Crank found them and got to James' mother. James was able to make his way back to their home, where a guard had been posted in case of their return. James was now property of W.I.C.K.E.D.
