ANOMALIES: Growing up in a swampy area of Louisiana with a younger brother and a handful of rough and rowdy friends (some of which he kept into adulthood), James has a number of odd scars here and there that he can’t quite remember the stories behind. He has only two tattoos, one of the LeBas Co. Sheriffs Department badge and the numbers 1.29.1991 just below it over his left shoulder blade. The other lays on the opposite shoulder blade, and is a curly script of the name Maeby.
SCENT: James smells woody and earthy mostly because of his hygiene regimen, but also because of the sheer amount of time he spends outside on the job. If around him enough, one might grab a hint of spearmint on the man as well.
ALLERGIES: Peanuts, Dust
FASHION: James isn’t a formal dresser in the slightest. He dresses for comfort, no matter the occasion. Whether on the job or not, he can be found in a pair of jeans and a Henley.
NERVOUS TICS: James tends to tap his foot when he’s nervous--or anything in his proximity, really. Pens, flashlight, whatever’s in his hands.

VEHICLE: James drives what his father used to call a company vehicle. It’s a white 2007 Ford Crown Victoria with a fading LeBas County Sheriffs Department decal across the side.
PHONE: James was brought into the twenty first century by his daughter a few years ago and currently possesses an iPhone 4.
LAPTOP/COMPUTER: James doesn’t own a computer--anything he needs to do online can be done on the desktop at the sheriffs department.

DIET: James doesn’t do much to take care of himself and this reflects in his diet as well. Now that his daughter is old enough to fend for herself, James’ diet consists mostly of fast food or takeaway. If he’s not dragged over to the Dubois house by Magnolia Rose, at least.

LANGUAGES SPOKEN: English, French
PHOBIAS: James is afraid of death. It seems like a common fear, but James’ knowledge that he’s done nothing spectacular of his life makes the thought of dying even scarier to the man. He’s afraid of losing control of his life and his town and he’s afraid his daughter might fall into the same endless cycle of disappointment he’s currently in.
