Bio: James was born after the war had finally finished. He didn’t really know his mother much as she passed away shortly after he was born. His father, James Sr. raised him alone, under tolerable conditions. He learned to do things from a young age, his father knew how to repair things, so rather than leaving James out of it he figured it would be better for him to watch and learn a few things. James actually started taking on repair jobs when he was only eight. While he was young his father actually had him weld a lot of the time as he couldn’t hold the welder as steady as James could. His father helped to repair many things and was well known. The two eventually moved to Blood Creek (when James was thirteen) and opened a small shop. James took care of most of the repairing by then, his father only handled the business side of the shop.

His father passed away (five years ago from current day), leaving James the shop. Rather than moving away James decided it would be best to stay in Blood Creek, most of the people already knew him and he had a few steady clients at the time. Currently he’s been in the town working on various items brought in by customers but also trying to get a power generator going to use with an arc welder his father had that never really worked as they lacked the means of power.
Fatal Flaw: He has carpel tunnel so sometimes it takes a while to finish a job because of pain from it. He’s also partially deaf in his left ear due to being around machinery when fixing things.
Strengths
+ Able to fix most things
+ Able to weld
+ Decent shot
Weakness:
- Carpel tunnel makes it hard to hold onto things very long.
- His hearing in his left ear is more than halfway gone.
- loses his temper easily while working on things (if they don’t work the way he wants)
Likes:
✔ Working alone so he can concentrate
✔ People bringing him things to fix
✔ People bringing him things he can use for parts.
Dislikes:
✖ Being told to hurry
✖ Smoke and or water nearby his workplace (it can damage the electronics he’s trying to fix)
✖ belligerent customers (he will throw you out of his shop if you push him around too much, and probably break your item more rather than fix it, so don’t piss him off)
Other Information: His work requires acetylene and oxygen tanks, if you find them and bring them to him he’ll either pay you or offer to upgrade or fix something the next time you’re in or right then and there.
