| Bio: |  Name: James Elijah McCafferty Nicknames/Aliases: None. James does not like nicknames. Gender: Male Race: 3/4 Human, 1/4 Fire Demon Actual Character Age: 25 DOB: July 21st Physical Description: 6'1", 176 lbs, very lean build, striking blue eyes, dirty blond hair Distinguishing marks: His eyes are probably the most distinguishing feature he has aside from his modelesque good looks and build. Like most people, he does have a birthmark of some sort, a small, slightly darker patch of skin in an oval shape on the inside of his right thigh. He has no tattoos or piercings as he would never choose to mare his perfect flesh, nor does he have any scars remnant of childhood, always healing quickly and being left rather flawless afterwards. PB: Mathias Lauridsen Birth Location: Manhattan, New York Personality: James is determined. What he wants, he gets, and he doesn't give up until he has it. He surrounds himself with things that are beautiful; women, friends, cars, clothes, furniture, art. Everything in his little world has to be perfect and even the slightest imperfection can set him on a rampage. His temper is far from perfect. He is much like his father in that sense. He flies off of the handle easily and does not recognize his own strength. That is one of his major flaws though he would never admit to it. James is a snob. He is a complete and total elitist, coming from old money. Anyone that is unlike him, that doesn't have what he has, that doesn't come from the background he does, the wealth that he does, isn't worth the time of day. And if he happens to give someone of a lower caliber the time of day, it is only because he either wants something from them, or because they are beautiful enough to make up for their lack of upbringing. James is completely and totally vain. He won't ever tattoo himself or pierce himself because he would never want to mare his perfect flesh. He spends more time readying himself to go out than any woman he has ever dated. Everything has to be perfectly pressed and put together or intentionally torn apart. Every strand of hair is located in precisely the right place and if you mess it up, there goes the temper again. Control freak would be another phrase best used to describe him. In a relationship, you do what he wants when he wants you to and nothing else. If you step out of line, he is not afraid to put you back in it, doing physical harm if need be. He thinks he is better than everyone else, even the people that he involves himself with, and because of that, he feels that they are not capable of making the correct decisions about things for themselves. He is the only one that knows anything about anything and everyone else, if they disagree with him, is wrong. Personal Background: The Jameson's were a part of New York's elite. They were high society, as most commonly referred. Old money. In August of their only child's eleventh year, both mother and father were killed in a plane crash leaving Sloane Jameson all alone with all of their money. Their oldest and trusted ally, their housemaid, was named her legal guardian, and Sloane remained in boarding schools until graduation, at which point in time she attended Georgetown University. Having spent most of her life practically an orphan had left her rather needy. And the fact that she was rich, and people knew that she was rich, had made her easy prey. She went through a lot of relationships during the course of her four years at Georgetown, each proving worse than the last. Upon graduation, Sloane headed back to Manhattan. She was rich enough that she didn't have to work and she spent her days shopping and her nights club hopping with the Manhattan elite. It was on one such night, when she was with her nearest and dearest friends in the hippest new joint on the street, that she met Elijah McCafferty who she felt an instant attraction for. Their romance was quick, and it wasn't but a few short months after meeting that she found herself married to a man that she hardly knew. Elijah did not come from money. Truth be told, he didn't come from much of anything, so he was quick to take control of the purse strings. His mother had abandoned him at a young age and he was raised in foster care. It wasn't until he was in his pubescent years when he found out who and what he was. A product of rape, his father was a fire demon, his mother a girl that had taken his fancy but hadn't wanted it at all. Elijah spent a vast majority of his youth in a place for people like him, Halcyon, where he learned more of what he was, how to control it, and most importantly, how to hide it. Elijah and Sloane were married for years before she learned the truth about him, and even then, she hardly believed it, though his quick temper was enough to convince her soon thereafter. At twenty-four, Sloane found herself pregnant. At twenty-five, she gave birth to a child that thankfully looked like nothing other than a normal human. A few years later, a daughter came along, and that was the end of it. Elijah's temper became increasingly bad once the children were born. He was prone to heavy drinking, and with that came the fist. It was two years after Raquel was born that he injured her to the point that she could no longer bear children. James was eight by then, and old enough to care for his mother while his father was gone. From the age of eight until the age of ten, Elijah was nowhere to be found in James' life. And then one summer night, he showed up at home, and in spite of any pleading that her children may do, Sloane took him back, and things continued to go downhill from there. Elijah never touched the children, but every day James lived in fear of what he was going to come home to. Every day there was something else that Sloane had done wrong and every day Elijah punished her for it. And more and more James came to hate his father, his namesake, and pledge to himself that he would be nothing like him when he grew up. Upon hitting puberty, James' mood swings became more prevalent and fires would ignite when he became very angry. His father, however, was around to always put them out. His mother had become a shell of a person and seething with anger, James finally encountered his father, challenged him, and lost. At the time he was fourteen, and he was bedridden for nearly six months because of it. As soon as he recovered, his father sent him away, though not to Halcyon, but to a regular boarding school for boys where he spent two years. When James was sixteen, nearly seventeen, he received word that his father had died. He had been decapitated in a taxi accident. He was more than a little ecstatic and he came home right away to be with his family. His mother eventually became more like herself, though the old wounds would never fully recover, and his sister found a way to smile again. Everything seemed right in the world again. James graduated from high school with honors, excelling in the AP classes which garnered him enough college credits to begin NYU as a sophomore. By that time, his mother had met another man, a nicer man, a rich man, who instilled in her all the things that her parents had in her youth, and who reinforced that wealth is power way of thinking in James and Raquel as well. He was rich, smart, handsome, and talented and he finally began to behave as such. Fast-forward to his senior year of college, James encountered a beautiful girl by the name of Natalia. She was beneath him really, but she was beautiful enough to make up for it, or so his by then step-father had led him to believe. He pursued her until he had her, thinking it would be another one of those things where he got the girl, enjoyed her, then moved on, but it turned out to be something much different. Days turned into weeks turned into months turned into years and he found himself in love for the first time in his entire life. Apparently, as it was for his father, love was his adversary. The further into the relationship they got, the more things began to change. At first, it was just little things, arguments, flying off the handle more easily, getting jealous and maybe, just maybe, getting a tiny bit rough. But as the months progressed, so did those parts of him, and he found them in more frequent fights, and found his hands on her in not so pleasant ways more and more often. He became more and more possessive of her, cutting her off from everyone that she cared about, all along denying that there was any sort of problem, that he was even remotely similar to his father. Everything came to a head when Noah, who he knew all about, showed up on their doorstep and, against his wishes, Natalia went with him to lunch. He was furious when he found out, uncontrollably so, and he.. well it was almost as if he blacked out, and when he came to, there she was, hardly able to move, reminding him so much of his mother after his father had gotten finished with her. He was beside himself for what he had done. And this time, no amount of apologies could get him out of it. Two days later, Natalia was gone, and it took all he had in him not to go after her. After her departure, things became progressively worse for him. He found himself bound by anger more often than not, and taking it out on the people around him with no remorse. The fire, which had subsided once he had gotten past the turmoil of puberty, came back. One night, after bringing a woman home with him from a club, he became so angered by her presence that he that he nearly beat her to death, noticing not that his apartment was catching fire around him. Once the flames began to singe his flesh, he realized what he had done and, fearing repercussions, he fled, leaving her there to die. It wasn't safe for him in the city anymore. Too many questions were being asked, too much attention drawn to him, regarding the incident though the fire had pretty much eliminated any evidence of what he had done. He had to get away, go somewhere, anywhere other than here and that was when a scout came to him to tell him of a place where he could learn more about what he was, learn to control it, learn to hide it. The name, Halcyon, rang a bell from his childhood, something his father had said. Begrudgingly, he accepted, knowing that there was really no alternative in the matter. Halcyon turned out to be one of the best and worst things that ever happened to him. He arrived there only to be encountered by Natalia and the one and only Noah. Things were a bit touchy for a while, but given enough time, and enough rejection, he started to move on. He met a girl, Nell, whom he liked pretty well, and then she left while he was gone to New York. His mother was in an accident and then died. He returned to Halcyon shortly thereafter. Then he met someone else, Fisher, with whom he became rather unlikely friends. Before he could really sort through anything that was going on, he got a call that required his attention in New York. It was while he was there that the incident occurred that led him, and several other students from Halcyon, to TJS instead.  Family: Father - Elijah McCafferty (deceased) Step Father - Preston Hudson (55) Mother - Sloane Sister - Raquel McCafferty (19) Weakness: He has a hypersensitivity to cold. He is quick to anger. He heals faster than a normal human but not nearly as quick as a full demon would. His senses, reflexes, and strength are a bit enhanced of that than a normal human but nowhere near the same capacity as a demon. He can be killed almost as easily as a human could be due to being mostly that. Magical Abilities: James has the potential to create and manipulate fire. At this point in time, however, it is not trained and remains uncontrolled. With extreme emotions, he tends to get a little hot and can ignite fires that are out of his control. Being only 1/4 demon, however, he will never be able to create large fires without some help; ie flammable materials present, and he will never be able to control very large fires. Anything much larger than a few feet in diameter would be beyond what his skill could ever encompass. Any Training: He is a master fencer. Special Skills: Master Fencer, excellent horseback rider, champion polo player, and an excellent swimmer. He is also quite charming. | |||||||||
