ALLIANCE: the Team
RANK: Member
WEAPON: N/A
POWER: After being kidnapped and subjected to various experimentation's via the Reach/Light, James was discovered to have an inactive metagene within him. So the Reach subjected him to a variety of experiments in their attempt to isolate and hopefully weaponize the Meta-gene, which resulted in him developing the ability to generate and manipulate fire.

• Pyrokinesis: James possesses the ability to mentally control any ambient heat energy and the physical ability to transform into it through sheer will. Using this ability, he can traverse great distances at supersonic speeds or float mid-air via his body's production of an invisible energy field, dish out powerful blasts of heat, create shields of heat, or absorb various sources of heat energy. But he can only utilize his powers for an entire day before his body needs to recharge from him having expended all of its energy.
  
• Thermokinesis: James possesses the ability to mentally control the ambient heat energy within his immediate environment, even when he himself is not aflame. He can reduce objects' temperatures, raise them to several hundred degrees, or extinguish open flames. However, his current immediate range stretches to twenty-seven meters.
  
• Thermal/Infrared Vision: James possesses the ability to see object's heat signatures, effectively giving him infrared vision.
• Immunity to Fire & Heat: James is unaffected by any heat source or flames, including his own, even when part of him is aflame and the rest of him is not. His flesh cannot be scalded or burned by any heat source.

PLAY-BY: Chace Crawford.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Fear: Fear of losing control and burning down everything, fear of disappointing the Team and the League, and a fear of needles and medical equipment's.

Desire: Desires to use his new found abilities to do good, help others, and keep those close to him and the Earth safe. He also desires to do good in school and come out with a stable job to support himself, his family, or a girlfriend if he gets one.

HABITS: James fidgets a lot when he's nervous, uncomfortable, or at times in deep thought. But he generally doesn't take notice unless it's brought to his attention. He also tends to have panic attacks when he gets too anxious.

PET PEEVE: People who unnecessarily complain about everything, and ignorant people.

STRENGTHS:
OPTIONAL
• Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: After years of training, James possesses an expert knowledge of close-quarters combat, which allows him to go toe-to-toe with men and women far superior to his size and weight.
• Conditioning: Due to years of training and exercise regimens, James is flexible, fit, and agile above any ordinary person of his age.
• Expert Marksmanship: James possesses expert skill in a variety of guns. 
• Expert Engineer: James shows a great understanding of technology. He can dismantle, hack, and create various machinery or programs at incredible speeds.

WEAKNESSES:
OPTIONAL
• Energy Depletion: At an average rate of expenditure of energy, James can maintain his fiery state for about twenty-four hours before he is forced to revert back to his regular form.
• Fire Extinguishing: James's flame is supported by the presence of oxygen, and thus is extinguished in low air pressure or a vacuum. James's flame can be extinguished by smothering materials, such as water, sand, fire-fighting foam, and heat-resistant blankets, unless his flame is at such an intensity that it immediately vaporizes such materials on contact.
• Physical Condition: James physical condition (health, exhaustion, or injury) also limits his flames duration.
• Family/Friends: James would go to any length to protect his family or friends, even if it means sacrificing his own life.
• Vulnerability to Cold: If extremely cold temperatures are projected onto him such as ice beams, ice blasts, etc. it can temporarily render him unable to generate a sufficient amount of flames to reenter his fiery state or produce fire in general.
• Loosing Control: Due to having acquired his newly found powers, he's still scared of going all out in fear of harming others accidentally.  

TRAITS: James is a reserved and gentle person, but he isn't afraid to stick up for himself. However, he does suffer from social anxiety from being sheltered a majority of his life. So he isn't the best when it comes to social situations or holding long drawn out conversations, especially if it gets too crowded. He starts to panic and hyperventilate which has resulted in him passing out on a few occasions. But once you get to know him he tends to be very compassionate, caring, and considerate. Moreover, he has a strong work-ethic and would always try to be there for his friends or family no matter the situation. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

HISTORY:  James was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He was the youngest of his parents two children. From an early age James showed incredible intelligence and technical know-how with technology, but unfortunately he suffered from social anxiety which wasn't helped by his father behavior. His father was sort of paranoid and wasn't completely sold on superheros. He believed they were ineffective and were just playing god, especially after he lost his sister to an accident stemming from that. So in order to combat that as well as prepare them for the inevitably of one day running into one, or a situation involving them he trained them on things he learned in the army when he was off tour, but also had them enrolled in martial art classes and the like.

However, all that effort in the world wouldn't stop what's coming. A few months before his high school's graduation James was mysteriously abducted, resulting in a state-wide search for him, but it was to no avail. The captors weren't found. He had been captured by the Light/the Reach in their effort to isolate the Meta-Gene and to duplicate and weaponize them. During this, he suffered extreme trauma that still affects him today, but ultimately resulted in him acquiring his powers. Additionally, it was during this time as well that his parents got called away on tours which caused them to have to leave their oldest daughter with their mother's sister before being deployed, and unfortunately killed during combat.

This devastated the family and weighed heavily on his sister. Not only had she lost her brother, but her parents too? Could things get anymore worst? Nope, they wouldn't or maybe they would depend on how you see it. But James would eventually return along with the other children that got kidnapped, though with a twist. In an unlikely turn of events he ended up getting powers. He could turn on fire off and on at all and control other sources of heat energy. It freaked him out and if it wasn't for the Team he would have gone insane if not outright captured again, or killed. But James luckily fell into the Team's hands, as stated, and after a couple months of rehabilitation and a new found control over his powers he was returned to his family. They were elated, but he quickly found out what happened to his parents.

He often cried at night. Why did this happen to him? I mean, his father may not have been the greatest at times and he certainly wished he got out more, but they still had a somewhat functional family. So why? He ruminated over these thoughts frequently till his aunt snapped him out of it by consoling him, and explaining that things must happen for a reason even if he doesn't know it now. For example, he was blessed with powers even though it wasn't in the ideal conditions. So maybe he's to help people. He took this to heart and it changed his view on things, which eventually allowed him to return to school after months of being away. He then graduated and moved to Metropolis from whom he got a scholarship. 

Around that time, that's when Darkseid had begun his invasion. The Reach had already been cleared off Earth thanks to the Team. But this was one he couldn't ignore especially now that as the months passed by some of the emotional trauma of everything had been relieved, and he was gaining a stronger mastery of his powers. So having taken what his aunt said to heart James moved into action and ended up assisting the Team in their victory. This earned him a spot on the Team afterwards,  so whenever he's off from school he's been helping the Team out and trying to make the world a better place with the hope, and determination that he won't allow other kids to go through the same things that he did, even if he means risking his life.
