INTRODUCING JAMES HOOK. A HUMAN FROM ECHO CREEK.
James Hook has always been synonymous with the word âfear.â Growing up was tough and life wasnât the best it could be and he often got caught up in trouble. He was always getting into fights and serving multiple detentions which lead to suspension and eventually expulsion. James didnât really care at the time but as things passed parts of him wondered what could have been if he finished school and went to college.
He wasnât surprised getting kicked out of school. His parents werenât happy, but at least they had more help at the docks now which was enough to satisfy them.
The docks were a lot of hard work and it quickly bulked him up. Some people say he did steroids but he swears it was just all the heavy lifting at work.
He stopped giving a shit when he met Billy. The guy seemed alright and was pretty smart, to James at least. He quit the docks because he was sick of his parents and saw an opportunity for himself.
Opening Neverland was his idea. James wasnât stupid but he wasnât book smart like Billy. He had enough smarts in him though to get the club moving along. Billy was mostly there for all the boring shit James didnât want to do for the club. Besides, all the other bars in Echo Creek sucked.
When Neverland first opened James felt like he was finally content with his life. Then Peter Pan came along and ruined it all. Losing his hand was really difficult to deal with, but having the prosthetic helped. That was until Chrissie turned it into a hook.
His sister is a very sensitive topic and those in his life that actually know she exists know not to bring her up. The last time someone did they lost an eye. He has some regret in his heart for kicking her out of his life, but he also knows heâs successful the money he sees from club revenue makes it easy to forget. Sometimes he thinks of her though, but he hasnât really seen much of her since he kicked her out.
When he had enough money he bought a boat. Itâs just a nice fishing boat, but he grew up near the water and smelling of dead fish at the end of most days because of work and such. Still, he fishes even now and loves his boat.
After the boat came a house and James finally felt like he was ahead in life. He still had a hook for a hand but he had learned to accommodate. Sometimes he wanted to hunt Chrissie down and get his hand back, but heâs certain itâs too late for that.
The more time that passes the more his hatred for Peter grows. He detests that his sister sided with him and wouldnât care if Peter dropped dead.
After losing his hand he started drinking a lot. Like, yeah he drank before seeing as he owned a club but even at home he drinks now. Itâs not really a good coping mechanism, but it help him in the moment.
He doesnât really have many good hobbies. Heâs usually at Neverland and if heâs not there heâs either fishing or drinking. Or both. Sometimes he reads but not as often as he used to.
Honestly, all thatâs missing in his life is maybe some company but heâs so good at pushing people away that he doesnât have much for company.
Heâs just trying to live the life the way he feels is destined to and he isnât going to let anyone get in the way of that.
