appearance:
I'm fairly average height for a male my age, standing at 5"11. My hair is brown and very curly; I've let it grown out a bit over this past school year so it is beginning to look a bit more rugged and unkempt (which my mother would despise.) My eyes are a greenish-blue, tending to look more green on certain days. I have also just started to slowly start growing out some small amounts of facial hair on my upper lip and chin, though I am still deciding if this look works for me so I don't keep them long. I'm still experimenting with the whole "facial hair" thing.

personality
likes:
I quite enjoy being the center of attention and pulling pranks, which often leads to my getting into trouble. I also really like girls but I like Aurora the most. I'm a little addicted to cigarettes as well as Quidditch. Family and friends are also very important and mean the world to me.
dislikes:
I hate blood purists and the whole group of kids who hate others because of their parents or bloodlines. Potions class and schoolwork are my downfall, as well as rejection and killjoys. When things don't go exactly as planned, I also tend to get a little peeved.
erised:
I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life yet but I do know that I want to see the world and gain new experiences. Overall, I hope to be a son my parents can be proud of and make my family happy.
amortentia:
Cigarettes, lavender shampoo, chocolate, new books (remind me of Aurora,) and Aurora's perfume.
boggart:
Disappointing my family or those I love.
overall personality:
I was in the spotlight from a very young age... you could say that is the reason for the way I act now. Growing up I loved to be the center of attention and would do just about anything for a good laugh, usually at the expense of others (which sometimes I'm not too proud of but hey, if they deserved it they deserved it!) I love a good joke. I quite honestly consider myself a sort of "king of pranks" around these halls... I've pretty much coined all there is or I'm related to the guys that did so... I kinda coined those too. With attention from people also comes attention from girls, and boy do I love girls. I kind of became a "casanova" around the school growing up but now I've only got eyes for one girl and one girl only and that is a certain darked haired Ravenclaw beauty.
I've been told I am full of myself, that I've got "a big head," or that I'm a conceited jerk. I think that's all a little harsh... I promise I'm a good guy! Sure, yeah, I'll do anything to get some attention but at the end of the day it all boils back down to my family and friends. Did I make laugh, did I make them proud? Above all else, there is nothing I strive to do more than make my parents and family proud and to bring honor to the Potter name... I'm just not sure how. I act all tough and cocky and sure of myself but really... I'm really unsure of a lot of stuff. I'm not insecure! I know what I look like! It's just... growing up kinda scares me. Being out there in the world is a little frightening, you gotta admit. And I don't know what I'm gonna do next.

history:
James Sirius Potter is the eldest child of Ginny and Harry Potter, named after two of the greatest pranksters Hogwarts has ever seen: James Potter and Sirius Black. So, naturally James S. Potter grew up to be a little bundle of trouble. He would definitely one day live up to the names he was given. But in the meantime, the eldest Potter child became a renown celebrity. He was, after all, the first child of the Boy Who Lived; the defeater of the Dark Lord Voldemort. So from a very young age, James was in the spotlight; coddled and loved upon by many. He was the first official grandson of Arthur and Molly Weasley, son of Harry Potter, and his first and middle name alone got him plenty of attention. It was no surprise that one day James would love the limelight.
The eldest Potter did not get to bask in the lovely spotlight for long, however, as a year later Ginny and Harry welcomed their second child: another boy, this one by the name of Albus Severus. At first, James was very confused about Albus. At only a year old, it took some time for him to get used to not being the only child anymore and his tiny little brain sort of resented little baby Albus for that reason. But he was glad to find a little playmate in Albus! By the time the Potters welcomed their third and final child, a daughter, James was ready to finally take on the role of a big brother. He was a little bossy sometimes, as older siblings can be, but he loved his brother and sister more than anything and it showed: whether he was protecting them from something or somebody, or showing his love by teasing them with pranks, he became an older brother that was a force to be reckoned with. If you wanted to get to Albus and Lily, then by Merlin you had to get through James.
As James got older, he began to cause more and more trouble. He was always getting into things he wasn't supposed to and her had a particular fondness for things that weren't "allowed," like sneaking freshly baked cookies from under Grandma Molly's watch before supper. And coming from such a big family, he had many others to put the blame on. Family became a hugely important thing in James's life from a very early age. He realized young that he came from a long line of very talented Quidditch players and infamous jokesters: like his namesakes. His grandparents had always told him growing up that he looked just like his grandfather, and it made James proud to know that he was carrying on some sort of legacy. Coming from such a large and famous family, pride was a big thing with James. It was no surprise that when he turned eleven years old, he became a prideful lion.
James continued to bring pride to his family's name when not only was he sorted to Gryffindor but when he had tried out for the house Quidditch team, he got the position of Seeker his first year just like his father and grandfather before him. There was no better feeling in James's eyes than seeing the look on his father's face when he told him he was carrying on such traditions. James had a very close bond with his father growing up, sharing many of his hopes and aspirations with him: really looking up to his father. He would go to work with his father and for a while even aspired to one day be an auror (an aspiration that one day faded,) and it was during this phase that James had stumbled into his father's at-home office and accidentally happened upon an old piece of parchment. It struck the eldest Potter as odd to see such a tattered piece of parchment tucked neatly away in his father's desk but after a moment of poking around, he quickly realized what it was. And that was how James had discovered the Marauder's Map. So naturally, during the school year James would sneak it off to school with him. It was during these years that he had begun to carry on a tradition that he had known his grandfather to have been a part of... the Marauders. With the help of Casey Finnigan, Finneas Jordan, Abigail Shacklebolt, and Fred Weasley II, the Gryffindors formed a second generation of the Marauders: and the years spent with them were some of the best in James's life. James began to look forward to going to school every year.
However, it was also during his first few years at school that James began to drift slowly apart from his brother. Albus had been sorted into Slytherin house, and while Harry had taught his children not to discriminate between houses, the difference really put a wedge between the brothers. They didn't see one another as much and the two were practically opposite from one another. James, with his outgoing and show-offy attitude and Albus, the quiet and more reserved type. The two still loved one another, but the separation had taken its toll on their relationship. Meanwhile, Lily and James got closer. With Lily being in Gryffindor as well, James could see he more often and that always proved fun to do when boys would be flirting with his sister and he could scare them off or make fun of them for trying to get with a Potter. James can be very overprotective of his siblings, especially Lily (considering her recent state, specifically,) and in his eyes, nobody is deserving of her.
Hogwarts was the first time that James had really been around other girls that weren't his cousin or his very good friend Alice Longbottom, whom he had been friends with since they were born. James really took a liking to girls during his school days, flirting and snogging with them incessantly. He was sort of the Hogwarts playboy, if you will. It really earned him quite the reputation around the place. James learned he was good at sweet-talking and had a charming personality that had come with years of being in the spotlight and schmoozing with people his father knew from work. He grew very cocky and egotistical the older he got, and it really showed in his personality and the way he carried himself. Gaining the position of team captain on the Quidditch team, which only inflated his ego more. It began to become more clear to James that he was making a lot more enemies than he was friends, but his true friends had stuck by his side at all times and that was all that mattered.
Perhaps the most life changing year of James's life, however, has been this past year...
The beginning of his seventh year, James discovered the body of the first muggleborn victim of the infamous attacks. It had really taken a toll on James as he retreated into a shell of sorts, skipping classes, becoming quiet, and he even lost the first Quidditch game of the season when he wasn't in the right mind frame. But then a ray of light shone down on James's life when the beautiful Aurora Lestrange walked in. At once, James's life as a womanizer had ended. He had never been more captivated by a girl in his life and the two began to date quite seriously. She was with him when the second attack occurred and when Ethan Johnson was tortured. She stood by his side when he and his brother had gotten into a huge fight during a Phoenix Rising meeting (a group which he had formed at the beginning of the year with Abigail to get to the bottom of the killings,) and when Aurora had been pulled from school... his world began to crumble. Not only had he and Albus not spoken for months, but he had also not spoken to his best friend Alice and his mother was then attacked and had lost all of her memories after the age of seventeen. She had no idea who her children were. And on top of that... Lily had become a werewolf. It seemed as if things could not get worse... and then Aurora returned.
Aurora moved in with the Longbottoms and she was away from her family and James was happy again. He began to do better in school now that she was back to help him regain focus and he even didn't smoke as many cigarettes as much as he had when she was gone. For a while, everything was better. And then the unthinkable happened when masked and hooded people attacked the school. James, of course, went to be with Aurora and make sure his siblings were safe. He was devastated when he learned that Casey had been taken as well as Abby's twin sister. James's heart ached and then when he saw Ethan's body... nothing will ever make him forget it. Now that Casey and the others are back, however, everything seems normal. He has only a few short weeks until graduation and now James realizes something else... he has no idea what he is going to do with the rest of his life.
