Full Name: James Birch Grenville
Gender and Sexuality: Male, straight. Possibly ace, he hasn't really put any thought into it.
Pronouns: He/him
Ethnicity/Species: Tropius, European (Equivalent, at least)
Birthdate: September 2nd
Guilty Pleasures: Food, especially sweets. Bonding over a meal with a date.
Phobias: Ironically, heights. He won't fly higher than a few stories off the ground. Also, spiders. And large, stinging bugs.
What They Would Be Famous For: Maybe cooking? Oh and exploring, that's a thing.
What They Would Get Arrested For: Probably stole a baby he thought was abandoned but actually wasn't, rip
OC You Ship Them With: None, but he has had a few dates with a certain other Grass-Type in his guild.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Marci, over some shitty pun probs. (Nah, not really)
Favorite Book Genre: YA adventure-y type things. They're what made him want to be an explorer in the first place.
Least Favorite Book Cliche: Shoving in romance just to have it. (When it's done properly and adds to the plot, he enjoys it. Just not when the guy gets the girl just because it's another sign of accomplishment.)
Talents and/or Powers: Can stay airborn for a really long time, can most likely eat more than you, can weave out of his own discarded leaves.
Why Someone Might Love Them: Has a big heart, and is willing to devote a lot of time and effort to someone he deems worthy.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: Too lax, doesn't always know when he needs to be serious, will bombard you with dumb jokes.
Why You Love Them: James, or at least the various versions of him (There's also been a Chikorita and Bayleef version of him at some point) is my oldest surviving OC, along with Marci. I've had them for the good part of 6 years now. And that's just something I can't overlook. James is also a character I connect a lot with, and shares a lot of traits from me. I'm not saying he's a self-insert, because he's definitely got a lot going on that I don't, but he's the OC that I can relate to the most. It's also James and Marci's original stories that started me into the whole writing thing, so I have them to thank for my start.
