PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:[/font]
James Sirius Potter is definitely the kind of seventeen year old the girls go crazy for. He has slightly longer dark brown hair that is always messy. Looks wind blown almost all the time from Quidditch and his routine work out schedule. His skin is slightly more tan than some Englander's mostly because he is outside ninety percent of the time. His eyes are a happy medium between almond and circular and usually the most fabulous green color when he's in a good mood. His eye color does tend to change a little to more of a grey or grey-blue shade depending on his moods. If you know him well enough, the eyes can tell all. Even if he's lying to you, if you know him you can tell. If not those expressive eyes will lead you to betrayal.
He stands at six foot, three inches tall and very muscular. He weighs a good two hundred and forty pounds but its almost completely muscle mass. He works out daily to keep himself in this kind of shape. Not because he has to or to get the ladies (because we know he could do that with his flirty personality alone) but he does it because he wants to. He likes the way it feels to have the kind of body he has with toned muscles head to toe and a six pack of abs.
As far as clothing outside of a Hogwarts student uniform goes, James has a very casual style. When he is working out or at Quidditch practice, a pair of gym shorts and a wife-beater are usually the accommodating articles of clothing. For a date or a party (which usually fall into the same category for him anyway) his usual is a pair of slightly loose fitting blue jeans with the occasional trendy holes in them (though normally this is because he's just had them forever and worn them out) and a t-shirt or a wife-beater with a button up over shirt. Usually long sleeved with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the shirt unbuttoned halfway.
Though this may make James seem like the perfect guy there are of course the flaws that any human will have. He has horrible vision just like his father for instance. He owns glasses but hardly wears them as he hates the way they make him look. (Too much like his dad for his liking.) He most often wears contacts and uses the glasses only when he has no other choice. Also he has several scars on his right leg around the knee area from the several times he has broken his leg and had the bones exposed. Usually even when he is wearing gym shorts or jeans shorts though, that is hidden by the knee brace he wears most of the time.

STRENGTHS:[/font]
-Quidditch; James is a great Quidditch player. Some of it is raw talent and some of it takes lots of years of practice under his belt. He plays keeper.
-History; Believe it or not, James is a huge history buff. He know's more than any other student his age really seems to. But he hides this from everyone because seriously, who would expect a jock and ladies man like him to actually like history?
-Transfiguration; One of the easiest subjects for him to pick up even in his first year. Who know's why, it just is.
-Picking Up Girls; James know's just what to say to get a girl to spend an afternoon with him. He is a sweet talker, a flirt and an over all ladies man. It may not last long with any of them, but hey, he's not in it for the long term just yet.
-Drinking; Though this also falls under the weaknesses, James can drink all day and hardly start to feel really good and drunk until the end of a party at night. Whether this is really a good thing or a bad thing he has yet to find out.
WEAKNESSES:
-Potions; The subject in school that haunts him. It's like cooking. For him, there is really no point in learning it because he simply cannot get it right.
-Patience; James has a short attention span and when he is determined and wants something, he wants it then and there. This has a lot to do with the types of girl he dates, the people he picks for the Quidditch team he runs and the amount of homework and class work he actually gets done as well as the reason for him still limping never giving injury the proper time to heal.
-Admitting When He's Wrong; As most people James hates to be wrong. It's one of his biggest pet peeves to be argued with and its even worse when he is proven to be wrong.
-Food; For such an athletic person, James eats a lot. Like, almost as much as he drinks and that is a lot. It's like he can never get enough. Good thing he works out so much or he would be a rather chunky guy.
-Drinking; Like I said, both a strength and weakness. He may be able to get away with it now, but eventually someone will notice that it takes a couple shots of whiskey to get him out of bed in the morning. Or to get him through the day he carries around a flask. If he doesn't have a minor head buzz from the alcohol, he doesn't seem to function right anymore. Can anyone say Alcoholic?
QUIRKS OR HABITS:
-Nervousness; When James is nervous he has a tendency to run his hand in his hair, or across the back of his neck.
-Smoking; Yes, that horrible tobacco habit. It is one he acquired far too young and does not seem to have the will power to drop.
BOGGART:
Around James a boggart will turn into a furious looking mother dragon, because of the time when he was young and ran across a mother dragon and her nest while visiting his Uncle Charlie. Needless to say that didn't go very well. To get rid of it he thinks of Minister of Magic Robert LeBlanc being chewed on by the same dragon. Needless to say as well that James is not happy with the changes that came about in the past four years. (hahaha. i had to do it. no matter the plot, James has an ever-lasting hatred for Robert because of the entire last plot... 0.o)
PATRONUS: James happiest memory to conjure a patronus can be either making the Quidditch team his first year or being made Captain in his fifth year. The patronus takes on the form of a fox.
AMORTENTIA: sex, itilian food and whiskey.
LIKES:
-Sex; James has been sleeping around since he was fourteen, definitely a bit of a player with a bad rep.
-Quidditch; With the hopes and dreams of a professional Quidditch career to keep the lifestyle he loves so much.
-Whiskey; An avid drinker, he starts his day with a shot of whiskey and continues to drink from a flask throughout the day. At night he is happy to drink whatever someone at the party is giving him, but if hes getting a drink for himself it's always going to be whiskey of some sort.
-Food; James works out constantly, if he's not hitting on girls, being nosy, partying or keeping in shape, he is eating. He eats so much because he burns so many calories to be as active as he is. But even when he has his "lazy days" like anyone else, he will still eat more than the normal amount for a man his size.
-History; for some reason, James has always been into history. He actually enjoys the subject, not that he would ever tell a fellow student that. He loves to know about the wars down to the last gruesome detail.
DISLIKES
-School; in all honesty, James stays in school because its a place to stay and his only entrance into professional Quidditch by playing on the Gryffindor team as keeper and captain. If it weren't for that, he probably wouldn't bother.
-Homework; really, if you don't like school, how are you even supposed to consider doing homework? James doesn't.
-Ass-Holes; James does not appreciate any guy who calls a girl names, hits her or anything like that. He may use them for sex, but at least he treats them right while they are with him.
-Vodka; out of all the alcohol's in the world, this is the one James just refuses to drink. As horrible as it is to say considering his alcoholic status, he will go sober before drinking vodka.
-Kids; James really doesn't ever planning on settling down and having the family life. Mostly because at this point in his life, he just can't stand kids.
PERSONALITY:
James is a lot of things. He is arrogant, smart-assed, opinionated, flirty, smart (when he wants to be). He is also a great athlete, conceited and an alcoholic with a slight temper problem. All of these things make up the ladies man with a drinking problem we all know and love as James Potter. Growing up he was a rather normal trouble making boy. He got into everything, made a mess and picked on his little brother and stuck up for his little sister. As the years went on and he went to school his jokes got meaner and his attitude got worse. If it was not related to Quidditch, he no longer seemed to care. He had his first girlfriend in his first year and had accomplished his first kiss a couple weeks later. Then he realized that he liked a lot more than one girl and so not long after that, he could be found snogging a different girl all the time in his second year.
When it got into his third year and he was hanging out with all his older friends from Quidditch they went for drinks at the Hogs-Head in Hogsmeade because the bartenders there were more likely to serve hard liquor to the younger kids. That was the first night he got drunk. Shortly there after was the first night he had a cigarette and the first time he had other pleasures graced on him. He had never been with an older girl before and this girl was a fourth year. Not much age difference but she made sure he got the experience he needed to be the perfect ladies man. By his fourth year he had his first time and nothing could have been better. But then he couldn't get enough and that is why he is the way he is today. Basically a seventeen year old player and horn-dog. He will admit it too, but when he's talking to a girl, he will tell them anything they want to hear in order to get what he wants.
James really doesn't care about school work, it could mean less than shit to him in all honesty. Especially once the changes in the ministry came around. His goals were simply to become a professional Quidditch player but it doesn't seem that will be a possibility now. He figures he will find some pointless job like the rest of the people have. After all, none of them really require him to have good NEWT scores anyway so what does it really matter? Although, if he can help it he wants to find a way to change what has happened. If there is a group out there ready to fight the changes, he will be in it. As stated before, he is stubborn and there is only one job he truly wanted after school was over. And that is the one that would let him continue the lifestyle he has become accustomed to.
A smart mouth is another of his flaws, he doesn't know when is the right time to keep his mouth shut. If he's angry, you know it. If you started an argument or he did there is no doubt about it James will be the one with the last word. He doesn't know how to let things go and just ignore them, its not in his nature. Backstab him once and you will be on his shit list for the rest of your life or his.

FAMILY
Harry James Potter; shop owner in Diagon Ally, Forty-two years old.
Ginny Molly Weasley-Potter; idk; forty-one years old.
Albus Severus Potter, Sixteen/Sixth year, Gryffindor.
Lily Luna Potter; fourteen/fourth year, Gryffindor.
HISTORY (this will probably be shitty, i am always bad with histories...)
In simple words, James has had a pretty average life. He grew up in a loving home, no abusive parents, no close family loss and not too many terribly hard times. Things were pretty happy around the Potter house hold while he was growing up. Which was exactly the way his father intended it to be. James was more than excited to receive his Hogwarts letter at the age of eleven and was promptly sorted into Gryffindor just like his mother and father. Needless to say he was more proud than he could express about following in his parents footsteps.
At a young age he had discovered he loved the sport of Quidditch and also like his parents he is rather talented. James chose the position of keeper and made the team in his second year. Since then a lot of his life has revolved around this. He keeps himself in shape and plays every day whether or not he is practicing with his team or on his own. He had planned to be a professional Quidditch player for years. After all, he did not really care about school or classes and had no interest in much else besides history. But that dream may have been torn from him when the new minister of Magic Robert LeBlanc changed everything.
When James (who hardly payed attention to things regarding the ministry) finally caught wind of the changes the minister had made he was appalled. His father had been forced out of his position as head of the auror department and to open up a shop in Diagon Ally. There was no way in hell this could be happening. Apparently the new rules stated that the jobs you could have depended on what house you were in in Hogwarts. The worst part of it was Robert LeBlanc, having been a Slytherin, really seemed to loath Gryffindors, leaving them with the same job options as Hufflepuffs. And neither of them were given the only option James had ever had his mind set on.
With no idea what he is going to do with his future and highly considering finding a way around these rules so he can keep the cushy and happy lifestyle he has now, James is simply trying to enjoy what he has left of his time at Hogwarts.

ALIAS: padfoot.
AGE: ALMOST TWENTY ONE; finally.
TIMEZONE: I live in Fl... I dunno time zone's so figure it out.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:So lots had been going on in the last few months. Since December James and Kelsey had become parents, and started to take responsibility for not only their own lives but the lives of their two little twins. And since then, James had realized that professional Quidditch is much more time consuming than the house team in Hogwarts. He would wake up in the morning, kiss Kelsey, go kiss each of the little babies and then go take a shower, get dressed and go out of a two mile run. By the time that was done, he would take the twins to which ever grandparents were watching them for the day, while Kelsey headed off to school. Unless her classes started later that day in which she would take them and he would apparate straight to the Quidditch pitch for a long day of training.
Being so busy also meant less time together which was killing the couple’s relationship slowly. James knew he would have to do something about it, especially when he was forced to be away during her birthday for a Quidditch match. Next time, he figured maybe he could pay one of his teammates to injure him and make it look like an accident so he could go home if it meant missing something important like that. Because he knew it had hurt Kelsey and he really wished he hadn’t had to miss out on that. Things were becoming strained between them and he knew it. Though, it didn’t mean they didn’t have fun when they got the chance. Because the two were still as wild and crazy as ever on the few occasions that they get a night to do so; either after the twins were asleep, or if they managed to convince their parents to take them for the night.
The past couple weeks, he had hardly seen Kelsey at all and it was really getting to him. He was not nearly focused enough at practices. Normally he was on his game no matter what was going on, but lately he had let in more goals than he had in his entire career at Hogwarts. He had of course, been yelled at for that and forced to do extra practice for it, which kept him away from the house even longer. Cursing loudly at his team captain, he endured hours upon hours of extra practice because of his lack of attention during the team practice that afternoon. This was getting really old really fast, James loved Quidditch, and he loved being able to play every day and get paid for it. Even going out to lunch with the guys and having a few drinks when he knew Kelsey was still at school. But he missed the hell out of his family.
The night previous had been one of the biggest matches they had yet, but of course Kelsey was in school so her and the twins were not able to be there. It was unfortunate because most the other players’ families were there to watch them and cheer them on. Soon enough though Kelsey would be done with school and then they would be able to do all those family type activities. And maybe, when she wasn’t in school, he would be able to see them more. After all, he could go home for lunch breaks a lot easier than he could go to Hogsmeade and walk into Hogwarts; it was hardly worth it for the twenty minutes he might get to spend with her by that time. They had won the match, 230 points to 80. James had really been on the ball that night, until the very end of the match, when he was busy trying to block the Quaffle and was hit in the leg by a Bludger, which spun him a complete three-sixty in the air while he tried to get control of his broom again, the Quaffle went in the goal hoop.
James finished out the match, his leg throbbing in pain the whole time, but since when would he let a little thing like pain keep him from playing? Never. When he was forced to be seen by a healer just after they won the match and the snitch was finally caught, he was informed that his knee and lower leg were both broken and he would be forced to take at least a few weeks off from playing. (Lucky for him magic makes healing times much shorter than if he were a muggle.) Cursing left and right as they worked on his leg and forced him into a brace that would immobilize his knee, he realized one thing. At least now he would have some time to spend with Kelsey and the kids. Even if he did have to be in pain during the first week or two of it. They told him to get some rest and they would see him in a month to clear him to play again. James had a few choice words for them just because he hated healers, but thought better of saying anything to the people that decide when he gets to play again.
That night he stayed with the team as he was originally going to, and of course, self medicated by getting drunk of his ass. The point was, he would have been drunk off his ass anyway after a win like that. His teammates were sad that he would be sitting out for a while, but congratulated him on such a well played game even after breaking his leg. The next day it was time to go home, and James gladly said good bye to his teammates, packed up his bag and apparated home, dropped his bag on the floor and made his way painfully to his recliner, leaned back, hurt leg propped up on the recliner and his other bent at the knee so his foot was touching the ground. Closing his eyes, he figured maybe he would get a little bit of a nap before Kelsey and the twins came home when she got off school that afternoon…
