[James Mercer]

Full name: James Alistair Mercer
Call Sign: Apollo

On July 7th, 1977, George and Adeline Mercer gave birth to their only child, a son. They decided to name him James, after their favorite version of the Bible.

James is charming, quick-witted and generally a pleasant person. He can gain just about anyone's trust, and is good at piecing together puzzles and discovering people's secrets.

In school, James was good at everything. This quickly led to boredom, and said boredom bred laziness and contempt. In the early 90's he formed the short-lived punk outfit Father Sgt. Christmas Card. He found that he was particularly good with girls, and it's surprising how much trouble a teenage kid can get into when he neglects to take certain precautions. He recieved a much needed kick in the ass when his father, a police officer, was killed in the line of duty. James then decided he would follow in his footsteps to honor his memory.

After graduating college, James immediately got a job with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, mostly doing undercover work. His good looks and charm got him into many a criminal's confidence (it also got him gonorrhea once, but that's another story). However, an ill-fated tryst with a woman he was supposed to bust got her killed and him fired.

James lives in a small Portland apartment, with modest furnishings and a few plants. His frequent travelling as a federal agent didn't leave much time for pets or relationships. He has a few close friends he sees whenever he's in town and they usually just go out to the pub for a few drinks. He is a staunch supporter of local music; he can often be found in a small venue or jazz club.

Hobbies: Reading(James is a voracious reader), screwing around on the internet, martial arts, movies, music, Legos, board games, poker, drinkin', crossword puzzles

James Like!: The Pixies, The Bad Plus, Kurasawa films, Frank Herbert, that girl from E! Wild on, Ravi Shenkar, Elvis Costello, etc.

James Hate!: Modern Radio, Nu-Metal, Jane Austen, comb-overs, Friends, parking meters, irresponsible parents that leave their fucking children at Funcoland, airheaded MTV sorority shows, anything remotely MTV affiliated, midgets, rudeness, inbreeding, Vin Diesel

Physical Description: James stands about 5'10" with a wiry build. He has medium length dirty blonde hair, and gray eyes, with hawkish features.
