Personality: James is an incredibly driven person. Everything he does in his life is done in order to get to the top. Best grades of the school, best pilot of his year - James is almost always the one in the lead. He's naturally talented, but his achievements are all founded in the hard work that he puts into realizing his potential. If there is something he wants to achieve, James is the kind of person who will put absolutely everything into reaching that goal.
In addition to that, he has a deep respect for order and hierarchy. He's good at fitting into rigid structures and following orders. Even before he enters a military organization, James is already perfectly suited for soldier discipline. If you need rules followed or something done by the book, James is your guy. Only very seldom he breaks protocol to do what he perceives as morally the right thing. When it comes to superiors, James feels a deep respect. The idea of being rude to someone of higher rank pretty much horrifies him. So he comes off as a very polite young man.
James is good at bringing groups of people together. He's amiable and by complimenting people's skills he tends to bring out the best in them. To people on his side, James is a supportive and attentive friend. This makes him pretty popular. Further he's good at coordinating groups and reacts quickly to new situations. He's also loyal to his teams and would take risks to ensure every person in his group makes it through a mission unharmed.
But on the downside... James is arrogant. He's incredibly proud of everything he does and definitely thinks of himself as an awesome guy. This sometimes hinders himself from understanding when he is out of his depth and needs to consult someone else's expertise. He hates being seen as someone flawed, so accepting help isn't easy to him. Neither is apologizing. Rather than admit he was wrong, James would like pretend his wrongdoing never happened and prove himself via making up for it with uncommented favors. His stuck-up attitude also does shine through in conversation from time to time. Knowing him for a while, you'll definitely get the conclusion that he's full of himself.
Because James is so prideful, he reacts badly when somebody else is more talented than him. He then latches onto every idea he can think of why the other person is undeserving of their success - and he isn't afraid to let them know as much. Though his verbal insults mellow out as he grows older, the underlying feeling of jealousy remains a core part of his character. James still doesn't have an easy time accepting a peer's success when it surpasses his own.
James can also be very direct when telling people what he thinks they're doing wrong. This isn't only limited to quips made out of jealousy, he's also very vocal about the rules and how he feels people should follow them. When he corrects people, James doesn't sugar-coat his words. This makes him come across as rude or uncaring from time to time.

Victory Road Sample: He spends half of the morning thinking that he's dead. That some bomb finally dropped on the Garrison's base and the shield broke and everything was over. Granted, this is a kind of odd afterlife. „Mom“ is gentle and energetic but James thinks that if this is the great beyond, she ought to at least look like his own late mother. This afterlife doesn't have the decency to grant him his over-due reunion? How upsetting. Inanely, it's exactly this thinking that ticks James off to the fact that he's... probably not dead.
He doesn't feel dead, certainly. He feels well-rested and that's been a rarity in these recent times, but he also feels... extremely corporeal. James has never been dutifully religious, but he can still tell something doesn't add up here.
So while he's still busy mentally sorting through this experience that just refuses to be out of body, Mom sends him off and then he's just... outside. With a puppy staring up at him with its round expectant eyes. Lost on what else to do, James kneels down and scritches behind its ear. On closer inspection, it's kind of a weird puppy, but it likes scritches all the same so that's... that's fine. James can deal with that.
Ear-scritches turn to belly-rubs and after about ten minutes of murmuring 'good girl, good girl' over and over, he feels clear-headed for the first time since waking. Hopefully he can keep this dog. He really needs a companion.
Now in a better headspace, he begins reading through all the information material provided in his bag. It sounds positively grotesque. James feels like laughing, but he doesn't. Instead he sorts through his other meager assigned belongings and tells himself it's basically like a military ration bag. That's comforting. It's messed up that reminders of war are comforting, but suddenly waking up in peaceful little monster land has done a number on his brain.
