Canon Character Information
Appearance: Harry has often been described as his father with his mother's eyes so from this we can assume James is also a tall, thin man with black hair that stuck up at the back. His eyes, however, are hazel and not green. He wears glasses just like his son but in the rare time we see him, in Snape's Worst Memory, it is mentioned James' nose is slightly longer than Harry's. Due to being an animagus, he also has the appearance of a stag at times.
History: Link to James Potter @ HP Wiki + Link to RC Timeline Post.

Personality: James’s parents were quite old and wealthy when he was born and spoiled him as he was an only child. This led to him being arrogant and boastful but with a good heart deep down. Even with the money spent on him, his parents still taught him right from wrong, and although he never really showed it, he knew the differences as much as his friends did. Only when he realised the knowledge his parents had instilled in him, did he finally mature and stop hexing other students for the fun of it. This was why he was given the Head Boy honour as well becoming Lily’s boyfriend and later, her husband.

James also loved being the centre of attention and therefore had many fans during his Hogwarts years. None of this mattered to him however as his eyes were solely fixed on one woman who he antagonized for most of their school lives; Lily Evans. He did this, of course, because that was what boys did when they were not old enough to understand their feelings. Love was just hormones raging and by antagonising her, he gained her attentions, even if he didn’t gain her affections. Again, he had to learn to control this side of him and show the more vulnerable inside his parents had brought forth before Lily would accept his offer of a date.

Despite the honours given to him in his seventh year and his eventual membership into the Order of the Phoenix against Lord Voldemort, he never lost the mischievous side which dominated him throughout his youth. He continued to spend time with his friends after Hogwarts and enjoyed messing around with Sirius Black. Together they got into bother with Muggle policemen while on broomsticks, but this lead to one of times James defied Lord Voldemort.

Even though he was a pure-blood, he disagreed with blood purity and the prejudice against muggle-borns and werewolves due to his wife and his good friend, Remus Lupin. Together with Lily, he defied Lord Voldemort a total of three times and along with having a son born at the end of July, was subject to the prophecy Albus Dumbledore heard from Sybill Trelawney. He continued to defy Voldemort by hiding with his family until they were eventually betrayed by Peter Pettigrew.

James was a very intelligent and talented wizard, but more importantly, he was loyal. He stood by his friends at Hogwarts and his family after that. Even without his wand, he stood up to Voldemort and died to try and buy his wife a few more minutes to escape with their son.

But this is only half the tale. While James lived in Ruby City, his personality changed to suit his environment. His deaths caused him to become more reckless and he experimented with different things more often. Taking each day as it came, because he believed this was extra time that he could lose at a whim, James did whatever he wanted as well as anything he could to protect others in the city, friend and enemy alike. He has befriended those he never expected to and found a home but the mischievous teenager still lies below ready to be unleashed when the time is right.

Powers/Abilities/Talents: James is an accomplished wizard. He has mastered apparation and become an animagus during his life as well other feats inside the city such as creating food and drink that can accommodate anyone's taste. He can also fly a broomstick especially well.
AU/CR AU Addendum: James spent roughly three years in [community profile] rubycity_rp and was one of only a few residents who lasted that long. He became a feature in that city, owning a coffee shop and housing those who needed the help. His personality changed significantly because of it but I believe he is lot more well rounded due to his experiences. And he has some new knowledge along with it.
