History:
James was born on Jupiter’s smallest moon: Europa. He was part of a small terraforming colony, 116 members at it’s peak. Unfortunately, Wey-Yu found more promising colony locations, so Europa was put on the back burner. The company kept providing necessities, but did not provide equipment to improve further, than what was already established. Soon raiders began to establish themselves on the moon, and before long europa had become a lawless wasteland reminiscent of the wild west.

By the time James was born, Europa was dominated by raiders. Whenever raiders came by, the colonists seales the blast doors and waited for the raiders to leave. That was how James spent his early life, learning basic english and math, and how to farm in a desolate wasteland. James life took off when he was fourteen years old.

In the year 2140, a military transport vessel crashed on Europa. This gave the raiders access to military equipment. When the raiders next came to the colony, they had C4 to blow the blast doors open. The raiders once inside were determined to take everything they could. One of the raiders eventually broke into James’s dormitory. James was hiding under a bed and when the raider turned around to search the closets, James came out and grabbed the raider’s pistol. The raider felt the pistol move and spun around, and punched James. When James got punched he fell over. The raider tackled James and tried to get the gun from him. James got his arm free and placed the gun to the raiders forehead. James fired the gun, the recoil broke his arm, and the raiders corpse fell and trapped James.

James was trapped there for almost two days. When the Colonial Marshals arrived, Everybody else was dead. They took James to Mars where he would spend the next few years of his life. By the time James reached mars, his broken arm had become infected, and was replaced by a simple prosthetic. Unfortunately, there was not much demand for a fourteen year old cripple. James scraped by until he was 16, but then the company came after him. The company has lost a significant amount of money when the colony was destroyed, and James as the sole survivor, was blamed for it. James could not pay the debt, and went on the run.

James spent two years on the run, moving from place to place. But finally the company cornered him. They offered James an ultimatum, work for them or die. James desperately tried to run, the commandos who caught him shot him in the knee. James knew he was done for, so he accepted the offer of work. James expected a desk job, so he was surprised when he was taken to Pluto. James was given state of the art prosthetics for his arm and leg. After a few months of rigorous training on Pluto, James was sent into the Death Squad.

James spent four years working for the Death Squad, going from place to place. Killing who he was told to kill, and saving who he was told to save. After four years when James was 22, the company sent his squad into a death trap. What he found out was that many Death Commandos eventually went rogue, so the company had taken to terminating them. For all intents and purposes James was dead, luckily the USCM was conducting training exercises nearby, and came to investigate the gunfire. A field medic named Alyssa Cowper revived him. Following this James took up work in the USCM.

James is currently 24 years old, Works as a specialist, and is stationed on the USS Sulaco

Relations:

Following two incidents of everybody he cared about getting killed, James has a hard time making friends. When asked about this he said “I have realized that if I am nice and let people in, they just die.

Alyssa Cowper - The only person James is consistently friendly too, it stems from the fact that she saved his life. They share a sense of humor, and occasionally will understand each other's jokes when nobody else does. Cowper is also the person who introduced James to his few other friends.

Harry Cowper - Alyssa’s brother he and James often butt heads regarding combat strategies. They have something of a rivalry, often attempting to outdo each other. Their rivalry once landed them in medbay, when a drinking contest escalated and ending with both of them needing a liver transplant.

Borcuse 'Farsight' Girge - Initially Girge hated James. Girge believed that James loved Ally and saw him as a romantic rival. This went on until the two were assigned to work together on an OP. While defending the FOB, James explained to Girge that while he was employed by the company, they fucked with his genetics so he no longer had any interest in relationships. After this they became friends, and often are seen fighting together.
