#james apprentice

 Let’s go back to their physical description, but go even deeper! Do they have tattoos, piercings, scars, etc? What sort of clothes do they like?

Jamie has several scars all over their body (they used to be super clumsy in the earliest months after coming back to life), but the most evident is definitely the one they have on their left arm.

Both Jamie and Asra hate talking about it, but this also happend because of an accident.

At that time Jamie had a lot of troubles regulating his magic and its strenght, and after this particular accident Asra almost stopped trying to teach him magic altogether because of how bad it scared him. It took a lot of time to convince him to give it another shot.

Interestingly enough that scar appeared in a pretty reminiscent spot.

I've really enjoyed reading about James from @bluehairperson

Day 3: Give a short summary of their relationship to the other main characters!

Day 4: What about the courtiers? What do they think of them?

Day 1: Introduce your apprentice!

James | he/she/they | 32 | taurus | april 21th | 178 cm

James is... something. He’s a very spontaneous person. He’s warm, helpful and generally very easy to get along with. If you’re polite enough you’re going to have a good time around him. He’s always available to lend a hand if needed, which makes a lot of people, Asra included, see him as a sort of responsible older sibling figure.

On the other hand, if you dig a little deeper you might get a pretty different picture. James is not used to being disliked. People being mistrustful or giving him a hard time make him easily irritable, which he is at least a little bit decent at hiding. He’s a chronic people pleaser, but instead of bending over to accomodate everyone he resorts to lying to cover up himself and his actions. Lies that always end up accumulating and making him sweat to mantain the charade. He doesn’t do it maliciously, but he’s definitely the type of person who ends up hurting the people he cares about because of his decisions. He thinks (or tries to convince himself of it) he can handle anything alone all the time, which is what usually puts him in these kind of situations. He can also be a massive hypocrite. Asra could swear he wasn’t like this before.

Day 2: Who is their LI? What’s their relationship like?

During the murder investigations his relationship with Valerius, who is mainly his employer, is an absolute mess.

One of the things James is known around town for is how good he is at finding people and things who go missing, them being civilians, wanted criminals or lost valuable items. He obviously uses magic to do it, but because of how unreliable his spells are with his amnesia he doesn’t make it public. So, when he hears that some rich guy at the palace is hiring a bounty hunter to catch a dangerous killer before the Countess’s new hiree that sounds like an easy job, right?

Wrong. Valerius sees almost immediately through his act and James struggles to deceive him about his true intentions. They lie to each other constantly, they’re both extremely secretive and even tho their relationship start as a casual affair they still manage to be pretty possessive and jealous.
