James could be considered to have a severe brow. He has a smooth jawline and has dark blue eyes that give an air of brooding to him. Some have remarked his ears are borderline too big for his head so he usually lets his curly brown hair grow enough to cover them up. He is a bit over average in height standing at 6'2" and has a fit build. There is strength to his arms and he carries himself with an air of importance.
James is not a showy dresser and prefers neutral colors that don't cause him to stand out. He has a thin scar on the lower left of his jaw from when he got into a fight as a teenager. He is a very realistic sort of man and so his mouth is nearly always set in a line; neither turning up or down. On the occasions he does smile, he has a set of straight and pearly teeth that add a very handsome charm to his face.

James is a fairly quiet man and prefers to keep his emotions close. He isn't overly passionate and gives the impression of a very reserved man. While many may think him indifferent, he generally has opinions about everything but prefers to stay silent. However, once you've earned his friendship it is something you will have the rest of your life. He is fiercely loyal to those few who are close to him and would do just about anything to insure their happiness and well being. James has a strong sense of duty and honor and will fight injustice whenever he can with whatever capacity he has.
He strongly believes that all you need in life is determination and hard work to be successful. While he acknowledges the different castes in society, he doesn't think there needs to be such rigid restrictions as many people put around themselves. He has a very warm side to him beneath the cool exterior and a particular soft spot for children and women. He has a bit of a hero complex and sometimes feels as if its his job to right every wrong that there ever has been in society or ever will be.

James grew up the second oldest in a family of four. There were decisively middle class citizens. They always seemed to have enough, but never anything extra. James always knew as a young boy he'd have to work hard to make a living for himself. He always had a good relationship between his parents and siblings. When he was just a young boy he had met a girl named Jane. Even though they were four years apart in age, the sensitive part of his soul sought after the young girl and befriended her. James was outraged when he realized the family environment that Jane lived in. He couldn't fathom how a husband and father could treat his wife and children so belligerently. Growing up he always did his best to bring a smile to Jane's face since it was all he could do for her. He used to fantasize about challenging her father to a duel and liberating Jane from his control.
James was very protective of Jane and ended up getting beat up terribly because some boys were teasing her. Even though James wasn't a good fighter, and hated physical violence, he felt it was his duty to stand up for her. As they began to grow older he was starting to see Jane with different eyes. They were both changing. It seemed to him that he woke up one day in love with her. He couldn't explain his feelings at the time and was afraid of them. He agonized for months over what to do with his feelings as an 18 year old. There were a handful of times where he tried to tell her he loved her, but she never understood the gravity of his words. She always told him she loved him too, but James knew it wasn't the same depth of love he had for her.
James' parents were pushing for him to join the royal navy. They wanted him to have military prestige in the hopes of securing a good marriage with a sensible young woman. James knew that his parents love Jane, but they would never approve of them getting married. He would share his hesitation with Jane in joining the royal navy always using the excuse of being so far from home--his real fear was being so far from her. She thought he was silly and told him he needed to do great things with his life.
After two years had past of unrequited love, James couldn't take it anymore. He knew things were getting worse at home for Jane so he finally bore his heart to her. He begged her to runaway with him, to marry him, and he promised he would love and take care of her. He told her that she didn't have to love him the way he loved her. All he wanted was for her to be safe and to be with him. He was crushed when she turned him down. She told him she couldn't marry him and she wouldn't runaway with him. He was hurt, but he felt the most betrayal when he discovered she had runaway by herself and had disappeared.
James was bitter for a very long time and shut in on himself. In a desperate attempt to escape the pain he joined the royal navy and left without looking back. His strategic thinking and level head helped him advance through the ranks over the years. Even though he was good at what he did, he did not enjoy it. He hated having any say over the lives of others. He left the royal navy at the age of 27 and then spent the next two years aboard ships.
Now that he has had ten years to look back, he knew it was foolish to ask a frightened and naive sixteen year old to runaway with him. The bitterness in his heart has long ago been smoothed over. Yet he has never been able to see another woman through the same eyes he always looked upon Jane with.
James was approached to come aboard the RMS Titanic for its maiden voyage as an officer. The thought of going to America for a new start was tantalizing so he took it.
