history James was born in London, on a cold November morning in 1989. His parents were a happy couple, only wed a few months before the birth of their baby. It had been rumored that the couple had only taken their vows because she had become pregnant, but the Havoks' obvious happiness over being together quickly erased any related gossip.
His childhood was a rather easy one, he was a very happy and intelligent child. Very social and active. And his parents seemed to him like the happiest couple on the planet.
The Havoks wanted to have yet another child, but all of their attempts resulted in failure. Jeniffer Havok was incapable of conceiving another child.
Toben Havok was disappointed for months, coming home in a bitter mood, letting his temper lash out to his wife and son. He did not hate them or even dislike him; but he knew no other way to show his dismay. Jeniffer and her son James were however under the impression that Toben no longer wanted to be a part of their family, and neither were sure whether to persist in being nice to him, or just distancing themselves.
James decided to try and get closer to his father, while Jeniffer was not quite as strong, turning to her husband's brother, Tobias Havok for support. Inevitably they began having an affair, keeping James and Toben in the dark.
Their oblivion to the affair however did not last too long. In what seemed like a very popular scenario, Toben caught his brother with his wife one day when coming home early from work. James was on his way home from school at the time, and by the time he got home, his uncle Tobias lay on the floor shot [with his mother weeping at his side] and his father had disappeared completely. James was eleven when this happened, and to this day he has not seen his father or heard from him.
His mother never found it in herself to divorce Toben, but she'd become involved with a wealthy business man over the years, and she now lives with him in his mansion, in the better part of London.
Ever since his uncle's death and his father's disappearance, James had never been the same. This bright happy child had drawn into himself, preferring solitude over company.
Over the years he'd allowed himself to become social again, but he'd never been quite as happy or easy-going ever again. He despises his mother's boyfriend, and despises his mother even more; considering her responsible for his father's leaving and his uncle's death.
Something good had come from his withdrawal however, he'd been able to focus on music far more than earlier. He wrote songs, sang, and played the guitar.
When James was about sixteen his mother, fed up with the dirty looks her son gave her, spoke to her boyfriend, and they both decided on sending him to Hoffman Academy in order for him to explore his talents. He was conveniently still in town so they could keep an eye on him, but he was out of their hair, for the most part.
James hated the idea at first, knowing that this school would be far more difficult to keep up with and not get expelled from. But he decided to go with it, knowing that the school would help him become the world famous rock star he is planning on becoming.

personality
D A N G E R O U S
This first characteristic is what would describe James the most. Ever since having been transfered to Hoffman Academy, James has made a reputation for himself. He is very easily provoked, and has started fights on many occasions. Not only can he be physically dangerous, but also socially. If you do something to him, or someone he cares about, ... let's just say it's social suicide. Though James doesn't have any true friends, he has many fake friends, and many who have his back.
I N S E C U R E
He will show this to no one, ever. James hates this characteristic about himself almost more than anything else. To him this is a weakness, and he never wants to be seen anything close to weak. Particularly at Hoffman, he fears that this attribute be discovered; it's be social suicide if he ever told anyone or let them see this vulnerability.
U N P R E D I C T A B L E
One of his best liked and most hated attributes is his unpredictability. It's hard to ever tell how James will react to a particular situation. He himself doesn't how what his reaction would be, until the particular situation occurs. Because of this, it's also hard to tell who James will pursue romantically; one can never tell when or even if he'll make his move.
R O M A N T I C
Though he will never admit this, Jasmes is a romantic at heart. He attempts to hide this by dating people he's only attracted to sexually; that way he won't have to worry over becoming emotionally attached. Of course he's made a few mistakes and fallen for people. The way he handled this was to make them believe that he hates them.
V A I N
Though James my truthfully be insecure about his feelings, he is not in any way insecure about his outer appearance. He's not actually cocky about it, but one can tell through his attitude and the way he speaks that he knows he's good-looking. James is quite confident when it comes to approaching girls or boys he feels sexually attracted to.
L O Y A L
He has very few people he actually considers friends, but to those people he is unconditionally faithful. If anything were to happen to any of these people, and if the person responsible is within his reach...watch out.

eyes James' eyes are a dark chocolate brown in colour, and their average in size and shape. They have been described as very deep, secretive, and mysterious. He's very thankful that he's learned to guard his expression well, using this as an aid to lie or deceive people [in order to hurt them or to keep them from getting hurt]
hair His hair is also a dark brown; he keeps it clean and styled 99% of the time. James' hair is naturally straight, and it has a natural messy-look to it, but he intensifies this with gel and hairspray. He keeps it at generally the same length, and will have no one but trained professionals trim it.
height He stands at a tall 6'1. James likes his height, considering it just perfect. He's not too tall nor too short.
style James has a mixed style; something between punk and clean-cut. He likes leather jackets, ripped jeans, and chucks, but at the same time has a thing for dress shirts and ties. He doesn't wear the latter very often, but he's been told that both styles suit him very well.
James also loves sweaters, whether they be plain or with crazy textures. He's sometimes even thankful to London's foggy weather, the temperature giving him an excuse to wear his sweaters.

sample post
Maverick slammed the door of his Honda Civic Hybrid shut, cursing under his breath. He shouldered his bag, and pushed the hood of his sweater up over his hair. He was in a shitty mood. One slender hand slipped into the pocket of his jeans, fishing out the pack of smokes he'd slipped in there before leaving his place. With fumbling fingers he pulled out a cigarette and placed it between his lips before searching for a lighter. Within instants he discovered it in the pocket of his sweater. Maverick lit the tip of the smoke and took a long relaxing drag, almost groaning with pleasure as the smoke flooded his lungs.
Fucking habit. He removed the cigarette from his lips in order to exhale, tilting his head back as the smoke emitted from between his lips. Shitty day. His eyes settled on the roof of the school building, and his lips twisted slightly. Smoking would be more fun up there; plus none of the teachers could see him through a window or something.
He didn't bother putting out the cigarette as he entered the school. If he set off the fire alarm....fine, classes would be cancelled. They'd all have a holiday in the middle of the week. Maverick smirked as he hurried up the stairs, reaching the second floor within minutes. Only a little longer and he was stepping out onto the rooftop.
The first thing his eyes settled on were the dark haired girls not too far from him. Instantly he recognized her as Ryder, mixed feelings of adoration and annoyance flooding into him. This should be interesting. With a shrug he put the cigarette between his lips and sauntered over; settling himself across from her without speaking a word.
