|Powers|
James has the ability to manipulate his own blood and use it as a weapon. He can control its properties such as its shape, texture, and sharpness, enabling him to create various weapons limited only by his own imagination. His weapons range from quick bullets of blood propelled at lethal speeds to a pair of twin blades he wraps around both his arms for maximum speed and efficiency. He has also been known to form sticky globs of good or "whips of blood for less lethal confrontations.
James is able to regenerate his own blood rapidly, a must for his someone with his own powers. He also possesses a slight healing factor, allowing him to heal up any cuts he makes on his arms to access the blood necessary for his powers.
|Personality|
James has a cynical and distrustful personality thanks to his own life experience. He is scornful of authority figures and so-called "superheroes", viewing them as hypocrites at best and worse than the criminals they fight against at worst. He has no problem with breaking the law or hurting anyone who either gets in the way or deserves it. James learned long ago that law and order wasn't to be trusted so why should he respect the rules of a society that handed him over to sadists in white labcoats? He has a deep-seated need for destruction and he delights in any he is able to cause and it takes something truly heinous to make him ever feel guilty for his actions. He also enjoys fighting other people like himself, particularly superheroes, partly due to the challenge and partly due to the adrenaline that was injected into him whenever he fought other super-powered experiments such as himself back when he was in the care of the government.
A hedonist at heart, James enjoys drinking, smoking (both nicotine and cannabis), and injecting himself with drugs that he is, in any case, able to flush out of his system with his powers, only refraining from hard substances that he would have trouble flushing out. He loves the opposite sex and doesn't hesitate to welcome another into his bed. To his credit, James is fiercely loyal in any committed relationship he is in and has a certain disdain for cheaters or those who treat their partners badly.
Beneath his violent and pleasure-seeking exterior, James is surprisingly intelligent. Though he wears his status as a middle-school drop out as a badge of pride, he enjoys reading and since he escaped his captors, he has accumulated a small library for himself organized solely by his own interests. It has nearly everything from Shakespeare and Milton to philosophy to pulp fiction novels. He has a sarcastic streak a mile wide and enjoys teasing and snarking at friends or interesting opponents. James also truly believes in Henry's vision of a better world and does care for people other than himself such as those few people he considers friends and his little sister, whom he hasn't seen in over a decade.
|History|
James was a victim of fear and greed. Born the elder child in a family of four, James spent the first ten years of his life in peace, believing that he was loved. This all changed when his powers began to develop as he hit puberty early at the age of eleven. It was an ordinary trial for an ordinary eleven year old. A bigger kid was bullying him at school and regularly beat him up. He was given all the standard advice, "Tell a teacher", "Stand up to him", "Try to empathize with him". Instead, when the bully tried to hit him one too many times, his power manifested.
As the first neared him, James lashed out, causing the blood from his wounds to form into a tight little ball and shoot towards the other boy, grievously injuring him. When the police were called, James was treated like a monster. His parents disowned him and he was transferred to a government facility without getting the chance to see his younger sibling. He was utterly alone there except for one young girl about his sibling's age who was imprisoned there as well a few years after himself. Inevitably, they were forced to fight one another. James, of course, went easy on her and that didn't go unnoticed. The scientists separated the two and it wasn't long after that that the man who he would eventually call his leader freed him amidst the entire facility tearing itself apart. As far as he knew, James was the only one who survived and he vowed vengeance on his tormentors and the society in whose name they worked.
