Interests… lonesomeness, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, antique guns, writing fiction.

Challenge… come out of his shell. Rather than becoming an extrovert, James merely seeks to develop healthy relationships with the people surrounding him – for far too long James has had trouble relating to people in any kind of way.
Personality… quiet, gloomy, mysterious, lost soul.
