A scaredy-cat nerdy weirdo of his ignorant tough former self who dyes his hair and plays the keyboard. Not quite the future James had in mind, but he wouldn't trade it for the world… I mean, getting the world back would be nice too.

James is the pianist for The Dumpsterfires, and also the sweatiest person you will ever meet. The apocalypse sparked a little change in just about everyone, but it hit some more than others, James is a pretty prime example of the apocalypse altering people.

Before the nuke hit and changed his world forever James was a cocky jock, everything was handed to him on a silver platter and life was never challenging in the slightest. He used to cheat and ace every test, he flunked all his classes and got away with it, and he could say what he wanted about anyone cuz if you tried to stand up for yourself he'd punch you in the nuts! Oh, and he just loved to brag about his brand new babes, he'd rambled on for hours if you'd let him.

When the nuke hit his life immediately changed. There was no system any more, no one held power over anyone, he didn't know what his future looked like. All his life everything was effortless, he didn't have to work to earn anything, and now all those years of being given everything he'd ever need were over, none of it mattered. The undead claimed the land and good looks were the last thing on his mind. He didn't have to think about which hot babe he'd be dating next Saturday or which smart kid he'd beat into giving him the cheat sheet next week. He could be dead by tomorrow, he had to find somewhere to cower.

Now, being uncomfortably stuck but comfortably safe living with his band, James is still a paranoid weiner, but he's a happy paranoid weiner. (Aww). He's got a strong girlfriend who loves him, and a safe place to stay too. He lives in his hideout with his ghost brother Wallace, airheaded fun idiot Chloe, and his weird girlfriend Sophie... And her two cats. The four have claimed their home in Harriet's Barbers, an abandoned barber shop that they decked out and have claimed as their base and studio.
