Likes: His family, his few closer friends, being useful, Arabelle Malfoy, pranks and being noticed.
Dislikes: Everyone who is against the Resistance as they are against his dad, being held back by Harry and not being allowed to help in the war efforts, when his siblings are teased or importunated by others as he thinks only he has the right to do so, inactivity, Travis Goyle, Phineas Lestrange, prejudice and being ignored.
Strengths: Loyalty, cleverness, easygoing personality, understanding towards others and defensive magic.
Weaknesses: Overprotective, loud, nosey, mischievous, reckless and bad temper when frustrated.
Overall Personality: There is no doubt that James Sirius took after both his namesakes, his own father and his twin uncles, George and Fred Weasley. He is a brave and energetic young man who feels held back by his father by not being allowed to help the Resistance when he feels able to do so. He is a reckless person especially when it comes to threats against his family and loved ones. He feels it is his job as the oldest to watch over and protect his siblings and he does so like a lion when needed. James becomes a really scary guy when one tries to mess with his siblings, specially Lily, even though he is always teasing them and being nosey in their lives, Teddy's and his cousins' too. He does so out of a need to help and protect them and for that he needs to know what is happening with them.
Even though James knows he can count on his father, specially after his mother's death, he chooses not to burden him with his troubles. Harry already has too much on his mind without needing his problems there too. So James, Albus and Lily grew up to rely on each other over the years especially when they discovered their special magical gifts. There is a lot of true companionship between James and his siblings and he is always there for them and vice-versa when needed. He wouldn't think half a time before making a sacrifice for his family and he has done so before once. He now carries the emotional load of what he has decided to do, alone, out of choice and is growing increasingly neurotic due to feeling guilt-ridden for his actions when beside his father and siblings, specially after the time switch.
James is a stubborn and rebellious young man, tending to do his own thing when he believes it is for the best or that it would spare his family harm and pain. Even though he grew up understanding the pain of loss, he still misses a lot his lost family members and is all for making the future better if Harry finally allows him to help him out, even if it is his father's younger version, who is his age now. He is also a clever, charismatic and easygoing fellow who loves to prank, joke and smart mouth. He is a true friend to his friends, but if he doesn't like you it's better to stay away. He carries his feelings close to his skin and you'll always get to know what he thinks about you. Reason why he is currently in a practical open war with Phineas Lestrange. He can be loud and have fits of bad temper on occasion, specially when he feels frustrated with or angry about something.
James is currently in love with Arabelle Malfoy, who doesn't care much about him due to being in love with someone else, Travis Goyle, whom he dislikes due to jealousy. He though will not give up because that is not in his nature. When he wants something, he is a true go-getter. Not to mention his own namesake is a source of inspiration for him when it comes to this situation. James believes that if he does things right or insists just enough, he might get the girl he loves to go out with him someday like his grandfather did with his grandmother.

Father: Harry James Potter
Mother: Ginevra Molly Potter (née Weasley)
Siblings: Albus Severus Potter and Lily Luna Potter
Others: Teddy Lupin, his many Weasley cousins, uncles and aunts.
Birth Place: Resistance camp in Britain
Current Residence: Cottage in Godric's Hollow
Overall History: James was the first child born to his parents in 2004. He was always very loved and cared for even after his siblings came to join him and extend the Potter family. Life wasn't easy in the Resistance camp and he grew up to need little to be happy. Everyday many left to fight and many failed to return or did so injured. James understands the meaning of war even though he and his siblings had always been protected by their father as much as he could shield them from it all. Like all the other children born to Resistance members, James was taught at the camp by the adults who were willing to do so like Andromeda Tonks and Molly and Arthur Weasley. Though always mischievous and loud, he was also a somewhat applied student, never failing to learn what was taught to him by his professors.
James was gifted with his wand by his father when he turned 11 and began to study magic skills at the camp with basically the same professors who had taught him reading, writing and math plus his own father when it came to defensive magic later on at which he became increasingly good with his years of study. His dream was to become the best possible wizard as fast as possible so he could help his family out there. At the age of thirteen it was noticed that James became a little destructive, but he did hide what was happening to him from all but his siblings with mastery until he got it covered enough so not to cause a constant ruckus anymore. Many at the camp until this day, including Teddy, pass that phase of his as just a fit of clumsiness due to wanting to call attention to himself, but the truth was that his magic was growing and manifested in an unexpected way through a special gift.
Special Magical Skill: Telekinesis - The ability to move objects with one's thoughts. James is able to move small to medium sized objects without the use of his wand. It does take a lot of concentration and will or fits of anger to work. His power is channeled through either of his hands.
Current Level of Control: Poor. Just enough not to be a walking disaster when not level-headed.
Weaknesses: As this development was unexpected, he was not prepared for this. Such fact also interferes in his control as he doesn't know exactly what to do to hold it back to this day. James also can only move objects that are lightweight and the lighter they are, further away from him they will be able to move. When calling for objects in his vicinity, he can only manipulate those within a 10 meter radius of himself. He can also only move at tops three objects at the same time with at most 90kg each. It also takes a good deal of concentration to make it work, not to mention that his gift is also channeled through his hands. If he cannot move them, he cannot use it at all.
Note: This plot point was approved by Admin Redd behind the scenes.
This small phase having passed, all returned to normal at the Resistance camp and James' life until a year later when it was the time for Albus and one year after that for Lily to have to deal with their own emerging gifts. Albus developed the gift to 'freeze time', making things stop moving around him and Lily developed premonition as her gift. Having a little more experience, James helped them to figure out how to control their gifts, which worked a bit better for Albus than Lily as her visions seemed to come as they wanted and be totally uncontrollable just like it was with other seers. The three siblings supported each other and became closer than ever before.
The war out there was escalating to horrible proportions for some time, already having killed James' mother, Ginny Potter, his uncle and aunt, Ron and Hermione Weasley, and a dear friend of his father's Elizabeta Beilschmidt years before in 2009. Actually James barely remembers them as he was just 5 years old when they died, yet he remembers them more than his younger siblings do. In 2019, when he was 15, was when his eyes began to see Arabelle Malfoy with other intentions. The pain he felt made him wish to get closer to someone other than his siblings and cousins because more than ever before he understood that life was short and was only growing shorter each day that went by. Unfortunately, his flame did not see him with the same eyes, being interested in another camp inmate until the present time.
Lily's first vision, at the age of thirteen, which freaked her out, was about an attack by the Death Eaters to their camp and the death of many of their friends. After reassuring his sister that because of her warning nothing bad would happen and the gift she had was truly the best one amongst all of theirs, James made sure to let his father know through an anonymous tip note what would happen so he could prepare the others and move the camp in time before they were attacked, which has happened.
A year after that, already on another safe camp location for some time, Harry disappeared for a while, which caused his children to be afraid that something might have happened to their father just as it had to their mother not long ago. Lily reassured them that Harry would come back alive and by then both James and Albus had learnt to trust their sister when she said things like that. She then said that he was fighting with Voldemort in a forest they used to camp at as children and had just been stricken by an AK, but that it would not be final. They had to rescue him before it became so. Then again it fell to James to use his cleverness to let the right people know that his dad had to be rescued before he was actually killed by Voldemort in that forest without revealing the true source of the information, Lily. He cursed himself for not being able to apparate yet or he'd have rescued his father himself without thinking half a time before going to that forest.
Harry having returned well as predicted filled his children's hearts with relief and they stayed very close to him for days after that. He kept talking about finishing that once and for all so they could finally go live their lives as normal people. James and his siblings knew by then how determined their father was to take down Voldemort and with his last tether to life gone, whatever happened next to either Harry or Voldemort would be final to both of them. One night Lily had another of her visions, in which she saw that it was Harry the one who would die if he went after Voldemort again. That devastated her and she cried the entire night on James' shoulder. He could not see this. He could not accept this as what had to happen. They had changed things before thanks to Lily, they could do so again and save their father. They had lost enough already for Voldemort's sake as it was.
That was when James came up with the murderous idea. They would make sure that their father would never see Voldemort alive again and thus insure his survival as they could not their mother's. They would go there and kill him themselves. Together they were strong and capable wizards even at their young age. Much more than their father gave them credit for so far. James convinced Albus and Lily that it was in their hands this time to save their father and they agreed.
The next night they left the camp with the help of one of the free House Elfs that lived with them and sneaked into Voldemort's chambers. They knew where they were due to Lily and her previous vision of Harry being killed trying to kill Riddle in his sleep. Albus and James kept giving them protection while Lily guided their way. Once within the Dark Lord's chambers Albus froze the room for a couple of seconds, which was enough, and then James finished it by using his telekinesis to place a knife present in the room through their enemy's heart. He did not have the stomach to get closer to see the result of his work, but he did have it in him to command the knife up and down again several times to make sure it was done before they sneaked out and returned home to the camp.
The Potter family was very united though, specially after Ginny's death, and none of them found it in themselves the will or the strength to lie to their father about what they had done that night when they were confronted with Harry's questions about their disappearance. Off course, Harry didn't take it very well that his children had disobeyed him and got involved into something that he didn't want them into as much as he could avoid it. The last thing he wanted was exactly what had just happened, that his children would know what it was like to kill someone else. His reaction scared them all and then James made a decision he would regret to this day.
James tried to use a memory spell on his father, but it failed due to Harry's acquired mental resistance over the years. He then convinced Albus and Lily to help him because it was for the best. His younger siblings caved and did so. Once the three of them casted the spell together, Harry's resistance was overwhelmed and it worked. Now their father thought that he was the one who had killed Voldemort as he had wanted to do. The new fake memory was perfectly vivid by taking from James' own experience in doing the deed. Knowing what they had done as accessories to murder and above all messing with their father's memories was an increasing load to his younger siblings during the next few days and James did the last thing he regrets to this day, he used an obliviate to erase their memories about the whole Voldemort thing and the discussion with dad the next day. He took upon himself to carry that pain and truth alone and never let anyone know what really happened. He has been keeping to his self promise until the present day and it's taking its toll on him.
Shortly after Voldemort's death, they were brought back in time by forces unknown. Now they had a chance to make everything better and save their loved ones. James finally had the chance to know Hogwarts as a 'transfer' student from America, James Prewett. Since then he has had to keep a low profile due to being the sibling most identifiable as a Potter, though he didn't let that immobilize him and did get situated as much as he could, keeping an eye on his dad's younger self from the distance. It is James' plan to go on the run with the trio and he is about to leave Hogwarts to go offer himself to help them against Voldemort. Maybe by doing that he can save himself from his own guilt or that is his idea anyway.
