general appearance James Potter has the typical Potter smirk, the same one passed down for generations. Some call it that look of arrogancy, others say James just smelled something rotten, and never got the look off his face. The boy has pale skin even being a quidditch player the boy spending so much time in the son practicing he should have peaked a tan. Not in the least the boy is as white as the powder found on the ground from ages of being untouched. James Potter also inherited his grandfathers eyes, and very much his fathers as well. The unfortunate disposition for James, his eyes sight thus pretty sharp for being a quidditch player is sheilded by Coke bottle shaped glasses. He's tall and lanky, and very fit.

The qudditch training was deffinitely shaping him up to be a strapping and strong lad, but the chocolate frogs were rumored to be doing the boy in the middle. None of this is completely known to many. James Potter is also wide eyes, full browns, and a slightly wide but cute turned up nose. Well not really turned up or cute. The girls seem to like it, James on the other hand is commonly made fun of his disposition especially with his nose. Many say it's from being spoiled and arrogant, and far to many years being a jerk that a hex hit him, and made it stay that way. James also has very dark and unruly black bits of hair. He completely and obsessively messes it up. Having older parents always flattening his hair down, he hated it, he thinks he looks better with it all messed up.

overall personality, James Potter is an arrogant fellow. Many would say that they didn't like his disposition growing up with him at hogwarts. Of couse he could spend many days tricking, pranking, and causing problems throughout the corridors of hogwarts. But he had to keep those first years on their toes right? James can be many things, arrogant and obnoxious being two of them. Well the boy likes to have fun. Growing up with two elderly parents was proof that he was trying to live out a childhood having fun, when he was supposed to be prim and proper back at home. Although the boy being very spoiled was cause for concern on his up bringing. Spoiling a child meant that he would grow up thinking the world was to be handed to him on a silver platter, and being a pureblood wizard meant many things came very simple to you, especially for your linage.

Call it obsessive compulsive with the boy untidying his hair constantly. Weither to use it in a peacock manner to impress the girl of his dreams or to annoy those of his fellow students into thinking 'the king of quidditch' was off prancing around again. He was a very popular boy, he could have any girl at the snap of a finger, but he chose Lily Evans. He's very persistant, and in that matter being absolutely annoying to many. But persistance is a very good feature to have especially at Hogwarts, it showed the staff that you weren't just messing around. Although James had mellowed down on many of these features throughout his years at Hogwarts. Some of his most picked on things were still deep down inside of the boy. As Severus Snape called it, James did have a bit of a saunter to his step. Proud head up, shoulders back, and the movement of 'royalty'. Although not being royal at all, James took to people as if they were there to worship him. It boosted his ego quite a bit. Boy did he like a good stroke of confidence here and there.

James doesn't allow anyone to realize he's very studious. No way, he wouldn't be caught dead reading a book. If someone or anyone for that matter was to catch him reading. He'd hex them, or leave a surprise prank for them. James is also very showoffish. Of course he's talented, many could tell you that, but do you think he would stop walking around like his head was bigger then his foot for a few minutes. No way not James he was more doing it so that some how Lily Evans would be impressed with him. He's mischevious, he's always the one poking his friends into having a little fun now and then.. Ok more then just now and then. He liked to have fun everywhere he went, and no matter who was at the expense. James has a very good 'photographic' type memory. He can memorize anything and it'll stick with him. Probably how he became so good at hexes and spells. He watches, listens and learns. He doesn't need to read a book at all.

WHEN YOU BLESS THE DAY
the history
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

mother & family, Dorea Black-Potter [age 57]
father &family, Charlus Potter [57/ 58]
siblings, N/A Although Sirius Black - Seventeen - Gryffindor
overall history, James Ignotus Potter was born to his older set of pureblood parents. His mother in her ripe age of 40 years old had never been able to have children until their little miracle and bundle of wizarding blue was born.James grew up the only childn, not having much contact with any sort of grandparents being that his parents were to old, and their parents had passed away. James grew up quite oblivious to many of the outside world. Although being older, they wanted James to have the best, and gave him everything he wanted, and put the boy up on an untouchable pedastal. Installing early in him the arrogancy of thinking he was better then many, becuase he could ask and recieve. The boy grew up finding things to arrouse his parents and annoy them. Chocolate frogs from behind a chair, or putting little wizarding stink bombs in the bathroom. Which he'd run out laughing while she was yelling at him. It was the life of a pureblood single child. Although James loved his parents very much. He longed for the life he saw other wizarding kids have. Fathers that could teach their sons how to ride a broom, or take him for broom rides. He'd travel the street of diagon alley watching families with multiple kids flood the hallways.

It wasn't until a few years later, when James got his owl being invited to Hogwarts Witch Craft and Wizardry School. He was a very talented child. Maybe he had a temper where magic just flare up once in a while. Although he did quite a bit of damage getting ahold of his parents wands when he shouldn't have. I'm pretty sure Charlus and Dorea had a very hectic time having to explain the random spells cast from their wands. Coming to Hogwarts and riding the train, James was talkative to the older students probably pestering and annoying the whole lot of them as they waited for their arrival. James was sorted into Gryffindor, and went on to make friends with four boys. Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Although James being James, he found ways to pick on poor Peter for his weight, and the way he'd follow him around like a lost puppy. He loved that this kid idolized him in many ways, that lead to many of James big head moments. James met Lily Evans in Hogwarts, trying his darndest to get her attention. Weither it was hexing younger students or boasting about his abilities on the quidditch broom, he'd made two enemies.. One Being his love Lily and the other her best friend Severus Snape.

James rivalry through school lasted continuiously with Severus Snape, he was the reason James would always get in trouble, but his friends were always there to back him up. He learned of his friend Remus's little 'problem' and worked on ways to deal with it by looking through books, when he snuck out of bed at night. In James second to third year in Hogwarts, he started practicing his Patronus Charm, and learning how to charm himself to change form. Unfortunately the spell backfired quite a few times leading him to end up with antlers in the wrong parts of his body. How James couldn't figure out how to get these spells to work were beyond him. Practice makes perfect and James continued to work on his transformation returning to Hogwarts in year five with the ability to fully change himself into a Stag. Becoming an underaged secret animagi. Through James years in Hogwarts, he never got over the fact that showing off might make him look bad to many. It was the way he grew up trying to attract the girl he wanted to be with. But on the other hand, James started mellowing out, after annoying poor Lily over and over again. During his stay at Hogwarts James gained a Chaser position on the Gryffindor quidditch team, he also gained fans, and fellow croonies along for pranking sprees once they lost a match. James didn't like to lose and was a very sore loser for the longest time.

But In James sixth year aside from his hatred and the constant rival for Lily's affection. A trip to the shrieking shack to take care of his friend Remus almost cost his enemy his life. James gained a concious and saved his life. Unfortunately Snape didn't understand that underneath all that hair and big head James was actually a really good guy, he was just extremely misunderstood. The boy didn't have someone teaching him at home how to be 'nice' and 'attract' lady wizards the right way. Unfortunately for Snape's life, he became indebt to James Potter, and James used this to his ability so many times. At sixteen Sirius moved into the Potter's house to avoid his own confrontation from his mean parents. James actually enjoyed having someone to talk too, and play quidditch with in his spare time. Being that he was also a huge collector of brooms. The boy had every new broom that seemed to come out, while he was in school. He'd keep his others tidey and neat and would work on them to keep them crisp and new constantly.

Now James is in his seventh year, his new goals were.. to land the girl of his dreams, and try not to get kicked out of school. As headboy you can't mess up too much.. right?

roleplay sample. Bricen was new to this parent thing, and it kind of scared him. Maybe because he was realizing, he was growing up faster then he once thought. But it wasn't the bad kind of scared, it was just the nerves of finding out he'd be a dad, and all the drama that would probably come attached to this situation. Bricen had ended up doing things he normally wouldn't do. One.. hanging out with his sisters boyfriend, and two shopping for baby clothes on his day off. He wanted the future little mini him to have a good wardrobe. God already knew that his dads would spoil the baby rotten, since it was their idea for him to be a dad young anyway. The thought rattled the boys mind every night, which he stayed awake and ended up thinking how things could have been different, how they were going to change, and how he was going to make a good enough living to support three kids, and Scarlett. That was a big responsibility coming from someone who basically raised his sister, and lived off his dads scott free, so alot of his paychecks went into savings or into things he wanted for himself. But tonight wasn't about him, it was about Scarlett and his soon to be family going to target and getting things they had to get. It was so weird to think only a month ago he was a single dude living the life of no sex. Then a month later he was getting all the sex he wanted and three kids. It was crazy for him to even wrap his head around sometimes.

Bricen worked on getting Lucy unwrapped from her carseat and letting the little girl out, walking over towards the other two with her tiny hand in his. It was going to be weird to imagine hands smaller then the two he already held. "I'm up all the time, that's not a problem." he stated shaking his head, although the late night cravings could get in the way of his job especially if he was out on patrol or trying to find someone who decided to shoot someone. It could be dangerous. "There might be a few times, you'll have to learn to deal without it." he said honestly, letting a rather loud sigh pass his lips. He hated to say it, but it was more the fact that he needed to be able to do his job, and not get killed or fired. He'd need the money he was making. "Those aren't that hard." he said shaking his head, you could just put the cinnomian into the mixture. He wasn't a chef, but he was sure he could figure it out. Give him enough time to do it. Bricen had let go of the little girls hand, and gave her a bit of a hand with Jack being put into the cart, before standing there waiting for her to get her food, and walking along side of her, and the kids. This was a weird experience.

Clothes were fucking tiny as hell though, he glanced around noticing a pair of shorts that would probably fit his wrist and that was about it. He couldn't really imagine putting something so small on a baby. He couldn't even imagine something that large coming out of something as small as her. It all baffled him in the worst way sometimes. "Why don't they just got outside in their underwear. As long as their junks covered, I'm pretty sure he'd be fine." he stated with a shrug. He wasn't around kids all the time, so he didn't know the rules to what a kid could and couldn't wear outside. Her question pulled him from staring at the tiny clothes, and shrugged back at her. "Well of course." he said honestly. He was growing up in the next couple months, and would officially be daddy, and husband. He hadn't proposed to her in the sense of a man should, he'd have to do that, it was just a common thought it would happen. "Yea but i'm not going to end up like him." he said shaking his head. He wouldn't walk away from his kid, there was no way.

"Obviously, It's a big deal. Or I wouldn't still be here." he said shaking his head. He knew that was a lie, but if it wasn't that kind of commitment, He was certain he could still be living the bachelor styled life. Although his life consisted mostly of working, and the bar his parents owned. As she picked up shorts, Bricen's hand picked up the tiniest piece of clothing, and was trying to imagine how you'd fit someone into it. He smiled at Jack for a minute, and then his face went into a rather heavy thoughtful look. "Friday." he nodded at her. "Then we'll have a catch up rehearsal, and then a couple shows. If we get married, I want them to be part of the wedding." he stated with a nod of his head. Just because they were his best friends, other then Zero that was. "I don't really.. sing.. sing?" he scrunched his brows to look back at her.
