Family:

Other family: Weasleys, Teddy Lupin

Ginny: James is really proud of his mother and thinks it’s brilliant that she plays Quidditch so well. His life dream revolves around playing professionally, so he’s always going to her for tips on how to improve his game (he goes to his father as well, but he’s always thought of his mum as being better at Quidditch). He knows he pushes her patience a lot with his constant pranking and his tendency to ignore things she tells him to do, but he really does love his mum.

Harry: James is always just the slightest bit disrespectful to Harry. He doesn’t mean to be… it just comes naturally and he can’t seem to help himself. More than once James had been told off for rolling his eyes when his father has told him to do something.

Albus: Al is… James own personal punching bag. Not to say that he actually punches Al (much), he simply tends to make the younger boy’s life a living hell. He likes Al well enough, but it irritates him a little that Al might possibly be competition. James wants to be the best, and Al keeps challenging that. James also disapproves of Al’s friends and the House he was Sorted into, but he’s slowing getting over at least the Sorting. Despite everything, James does love his brother. He wouldn't be opposed to having a better relationship with him.

Lily: James spoils her, to be honest. He made a point of sending her home chocolate frogs while he was at school the first few years, and now he’s constantly keeping a check on her to make sure no one bugs her during her first year.

Rose: James is rather fond of her, but sometimes she gets on his nerves a bit. He doesn't hold it against Rose, though -- he knows how much he tries her patience sometimes. He thinks it's brilliant that she plays Quidditch for her House team, and he's always up for some good-natured competition.

Hugo: James considers it his solemn duty to turn Hugo into a miniature version of himself.

Teddy: If James was really worried about something, Teddy is often the one who he would go to seeking advice James looks up to Teddy a lot, and considers him to be an older brother. He always looks forward to when Teddy comes for a visit, and enjoys trying to work out at least one prank to pull on him every time.

Current living situation: A small flat which he shares with his mother. It’s not much to look at with only two small bedrooms and a kitchen that often seems no larger than a postage stamp, but it has a solidly built basement, and that’s what’s important for someone with Remus’s condition.

Sexual orientation: Straight as an arrow. James doesn't really care for that sort of thing much right now, though. He's all about practicing for Quidditch and pranking all of Hogwarts at least a half dozen times. He doesn't have time to devote to relationships.

Personality

James likes to laugh. That’s the simple truth to his personality. With the end of the war, laughter was something that everyone encouraged. His Uncle George especially encouraged James’s love to laugh, equipping him with pranking items for every birthday and Christmas.

James may have been encouraged too much, however. He’s grown a love for pranks that would have put him in league with the original James Potter had they been in Hogwarts at the same time, and he has about as much respect for rules as said grandfather. He rarely steps very far over the line (at least not when adults are watching), but his professors have marked him as notorious for toeing the line like a balance beam.

Though James doesn't really see it that way, a lot of his pranks are cruel, and meant to humiliate whoever his target may be. He's spent more than a few nights in detention being told off.

James can be a bit biased against Slytherin and dislikes them entirely, but he does on occasion try to be a bit nicer to them. Sometimes. When the mood strikes him. Which it rarely does.

With two parents who excelled at Quidditch, James has a natural knack for it. His Quidditch skills, frankly, went straight to his head. James has always been a bit of a braggart, eager to prove himself better than his brother while at home, then better than anyone else at school. His bragging can make him difficult to get along with, but James doesn’t seem to notice.

James has played Chaser for his House Quidditch team since second year, and hopes to be made Captain with the start of this term.

James takes after his namesake far too closely for the good of Hogwarts. He's incredibly interested in pulling pranks, and takes too great a joy out of humiliating other people. There are very few lines he won't cross, and that has led to his gaining several enemies at Hogwarts. By default, he hates Scorpius Malfoy's guts. It's a principle sort of thing, and James likes to think that he's carrying on his father's legacy by picking fights with Malfoy.

On top of his prejudice against Slytherin, James also has his grandfather's ego, thinking he is God's pretty gift to the world, and being well aware that nearly every single wizarding child in the world has heard of his father. Also, James loves his Quidditch, and hopes to one day play professionally.

James had an interesting first year at Hogwarts. Being the first Potter child to come to the school since the war, he managed to be fairly famous just because of who his dad was. It’s perhaps because of this that James expects attention now, and will go to great lengths to get it. When people mention that his dad is famous, James used to preen, but now that he's had a chance to make his own mark in the school, James is more apt to get annoyed over the remark. He would rather people know him for what he's done rather than for what his father has done.

James’s main goal in life is to become a professional Quidditch player like his mum. It’s a bad idea for anyone to get in the way of his playing the sport.

Usually, studying is something that James sees as happening to other people. He's somehow passed his classes until now through some form of osmosis -- he absorbs whatever he hears in class, and retains it long enough to squeak by on his tests.

Though he's a night owl, James is one of those obnoxious blokes who can be up around the same time as the birds are and be just as annoyingly cheerful.

Appearance
James thinks he looks like a thousand galleons with his messy copper-toned hair and dark eyes. At just over six feet tall, few people will ever be able to convince him that he's not a very pretty boy. Most other people may not agree with James's assessment of himself, however. It's perhaps something in the way he carries himself that cause most people to dismiss him as someone they might be interested in. Just from a single glance a person can tell that James is quite full of himself. The arrogant way he carries himself, his constant smirk, and the evil glimmer that's often in his eye are enough to tell people what sort of person he is.

Because he doesn't really care for following rules, James is the sort to always have his tie undone or simply looped around his neck. Only after repeated warnings will he ever bother to tuck his shirt in. Outside of Hogwarts he favors wrinkled, muggle T-shirts and battered jeans.

Background
James was born as the first child of the famous Harry Potter on October thirty-first. He grew up without really noticing how much of a spotlight his father lived in out in the wizarding world at first. As he grew older, however, he didn’t fail to notice the great respect many witches and wizards seemed to pay his father when the family met people on shopping trips to Diagon Alley. And what had happened all those years ago always fascinated him a bit.

Because of his competitive nature, James’s relationship with at least one of his siblings has been sub par at times. He gets on fairly well with his sister, and is extremely protective of the little girl. If anyone ever attempted to bother her, they could count on James going out of his way for months to hex them every chance he had.

James’s relationship with his brother has always been a bit more strained. Perhaps because James felt they were too different, or simply because he felt he had to be the best in the family’s eyes, James didn't get along with Albus while growing up. They’ve had their moments when differences have been set aside, and now that James is older, he's more apt to cool his temper and get along with Albus.

Entering his first year of Hogwarts, James was immediately enamored with the idea of being famous. Because he was one of three children and had countless cousins with which to contend, the idea of standing out and being special never really struck him until he heard his name called for the Sorting that year. The applause that rang out when he was chosen to be a Gryffindor has been firmly ingrained into his memories -- he will do whatever he can to recapture that feeling of being someone interesting and admired.

Before entering Hogwarts, James made due with tormenting his younger brother for entertainment. He had always enjoyed lying despite how his parents tried to put a stop to it, and he used his talent for making up lies to tell Albus when it came time for the younger boy to start Hogwarts the next year. He put every grain of effort he could into convincing Albus that if he didn't bring a purple-spotted toad with him to the Sorting, he would end up in Slytherin. He was well aware of his brother's worries about ending up in the House, but that didn't stop James from teasing him all the way up until the train made it to Hogwarts.

As he continued on through his years at Hogwarts, James became more and more dedicated to doing anything that would garner him the attention he wanted. He showed off constantly, he spoke his mind at every given opportunity, he openly made his opinions -- good and bad -- known... It didn't take long for James to make a name for himself. It wasn't necessarily a good name, but it suited him just fine.

With his fifth year upon him, James is pleased that he hasn't been chosen to be a Prefect. If he had gotten the badge, he told his father, he would have immediately binned it. After lifting the Marauders Map from Harry's desk drawer in his third year, James has swiftly gone down the path of the casual rule-breaker. He was anything but Prefect material at this point.
