Alright, so James is a brand new character, and needs absolutely everything, except for future/current lovers!! Including friends, family, enemies, flings/past relationships for lovers, ect. I'll lay out some personality for you. CLICK HERE to read his full application!
Scorpio's are arguably the most straight-shooting direct of all the zodiacs, and being a Scorpio himself, James is a very direct and blunt person. He may keep his emotions inside most of the time, but if he doesn't like something about you, or if you're annoying him to no end, he'll tell you straight forward. You can either hate that or love that about him. If he's saying it to you, most likely, you wont like it. But, imagine if your enemy irritating James, and told your enemy exactly what he thought of him. You'd love it, wouldn't you? Directness is just that kind of trait. You love him or you hate him. James is very intense in that way, and in a way that you'd only get to see if you were alone with him, if you catch my drift. Yeah, I knew you were fantasizing. Which brings me to his next trait. James can be very arrogant and sure of himself. He loves to get under peoples skin, especially if he isn't fond of the person. Say there's a girl that finds him completely annoying, and it probably will happen, she may be rolling her eyes at him, or giving him a dirty look. Since he's so smug, he'd just look at her and make kissy lips at her, and probably throw in a wink, grin, then walk away. That's just how he is. Again, love him or hate him. He may be kind of smug sometimes, but he is very intuitive. Both book-wise and common sense wise. Even though he's rough around the edges, James has an impressive body of knowledge. He blames his adoptive parents. His mother used to read him the dictionary and would make him do jumbo crossword puzzles with her. Even though he got into trouble a lot as a child and teenager, James was incredibly bright, and was no idiot when it came to relationships and life. He knew how to get what he wanted, and he often used his looks or a bit of manipulation. He was good at it. These days, he doesn't really have the will to manipulate anyone. James can be very complex and difficult. He keeps everything in, and some days he' can be the most quiet person around and then the next day he can be the most hyper thing you've ever seen. That happened back in school when he was in drama. He used to sing and act in plays all the time. He was quiet off stage, but when he was on stage, he was lively and outgoing, and could deliver a punchline or a high note with ease.
He's quite a funny guy. It's very dry humor, though. Picture Bea Arthur (r.i.p., bea) in a teenage male form. He's like that. He delivers the most sarcastic, yet painfully serious, comment with perfect timing, whether you want to hear it or not. He doesn't really mean to be funny, actually, his sarcasm comes naturally and most times, it cracks people up. For instance, one time this girl who completely annoyed James, came up to him and told him all about her sexual escapade the night before. Well, just imagine how much James cared. "It was a feeling as if I was a virgin", she told him. James had rolled his eyes, drawing a comic strip. He could resist saying something sarcastic, but he had a totally serious look on his face. Then, he told her "you mean, the feeling didn't last long..." The girl had been surprised at him, and asked if he was accusing her of losing her virginity at an early age. Then, he told her "i'm just saying that you're lucky that jack and jill magazine didn't have a gossip column" Of course, he was implying that she lost her virginity while she was still quite a toddler. This shocked her, but she pushed it away, but that would never work. She then told him she thought they were meant to be together. Annoyed completely with her now, he decided that he needed to get her to leave as soon as possible. So, in reply, he told her "I wish I could say the same for your thighs" This made the girls eyes totally bug out. She told him that she simply would not stand for that! One last comment would do it, James knew it. So, he replied "but I bet you'll lay down for it". The girl screamed and ran off back into the high school. Yes, he was quite a pistol, and is to this day. He can seem kind of bitter at times in his humor, but that's just Jamie. He was determined to get that girl to buzz off, and it's that determination that sets him apart from everyone else. He's a very determined soul, in both will and mental determination. You could say he has a laser beam mental focus. When he focuses on one thing, he sticks to it until he's accomplished whatever it is he's hoping to accomplish. He'll do anything he can to get what he's after, and sometimes that means hurting the people you love, but he believes it's a sacrifice you have to make sometimes. James is incredibly serious at times, and painfully truthful. Don't ask James if you don't want to know the unvarnished truth. There's no sugar-coating whatsoever here, even if the truth is not pretty. He can sometimes be very critical, and it hurts people at times, and then he has to muster up an apology. He doesn't mean to do it, that's just his nature. He blames his demonic father. From the stories he'd heard, his father Orion was a cold man. However, by the same token, when James gives you a compliment, it's not as a condescending gesture, but rather a straight-out, honest assessment that you can indeed be proud of.
Although James generally performs well in social and work situations, he is most comfortable either alone or with the small circle of family and friends he is closest to. James is fiercely self-reliant and will almost never seek out the advice of others, preferring to look to himself for his answers. He doesn't ask for help because he doesn't like the feeling of being in debt to someone. Like many Scorpio's, James has penetrating eyes. He can make anyone tell the truth with them. They are a penetrating icy blue, and nobody ever knows what's behind those icy orbs. f you have found a romantic partner in James, you have a fiercely private, deeply feeling partner indeed. You may have to get used to the fact that you will never know everything about him, but rest assured that if he feels a strong connection to you, he will let you know what you need to know. Indeed, if he didn't feel a strong connection to you, you wouldn't even be around! James is very loyal and expects the same from you. He is a highly intuitive individual, and will likely instinctively know what you need and want - a very good trait to have in a partner. However, his intuition will also pick up on imperfections in the relationship, so don't be surprised if he zeros in and starts asking probing questions if you are trying to hide something from him. You'd better be very careful if you plan to surprise him with a birthday party, eh? So, let's get to the most dominating trait within James Phoenix eyes. His temper. Man, does he have a temper. It can be quite a horrible temper. He can, a lot of the time, keep his anger inside, but a lot of the time he just cant. When he's severely angry, his eyes start to water and a strip of red form around the outline of his eyes. The power of fire rises within him and often, fire will appear in his hands. His demonic blood definitely plays a part in his temper, which is why he makes fire. He is a pyro, so that makes for a fiery temper. Let's just say that you should run if you provoke him. So, to wrap this up, James is quiet, smart, sarcastic, creative (he writes and draws comics), temperamental, intuitive, and ambitious.
