With a small frame and a young face, James is often mistaken for a young man of twelve rather than the young adult he is. He has very pale skin from so much time spent away from sunlight, his hair is reddish-blonde and appears to to be self cut into some sort of short yet long combination which always seems to hang down in the wrong places.
James loves to wear hoodie sweatshirts that are three times to large for him which cover his arms while at the same time wearing jeans that he has had since he was young which are now quite tight on him. He has a pair of mangy old sneakers which no one has managed to get away from him yet and goes nowhere without his ear-buds and mp3 player. His favoright color is orange which most of his sweatshirts come in, and he always seems to look like he just sort of cobbled together an outfit out of whatever was clean at the time.
Personality
James is many times mistake as cold or snobby by others, due to the fact that he does not seem to pay much attention to those around him. What most don't realize is that he is in fact not able to hear them as he is always wearing the ear-buds in his ears. The truth is that James is really a amiable guy and he loves to talk and hang out with people who have the same interests as him, however he also fears getting to close to anyone. He knows how dangerous it can be to be close to someone like him.
So to protect himself from his fears and to protect others from himself, he just continues to listen to his music. Shutting himself off from the outside world while at the same time opening himself up to something entirely different.

Ear-buds
mp3 player

Clairvoyance
simple psychic constructs

Restrictions:
Although James is a powerful psychic, he is only so powerful under the right situations. Those being that he needs to be able to hear music, particularly something that will get his blood pumping or open his mind to the other plane. His gifts of Clairvoyance and constructs are completely dependent on it. Without his music he is completely blind to the anything from the supernatural world and is nearly left defenseless to any attacks that he may receive. His only way to fight back without music is a low level cleansing field which he can't even aim.
History
James was always kind of a weird child, even before he could "see" though it never really stopped him from gaining any friends. His parents were great though he could be a handful at times and often found himself on timeouts and the such. As he got older things were looking up for him, life was pretty good and despite his strange habits and appearance he was happy. He made it through all of his young life on into his teen years without any incident.
That all really changed one day when he was in the car riding along with friends. They were all going to go have some fun at the beach and one of his friends older sisters who had recently gotten the restrictions on her license lifted was taking them. When a particular song came on the radio, at first James didn't really listen to it, but soon he found his mind was opening up. He was able to sense things around him, things he could neither explain nor fully understand. Unfortunately for him, the sudden awakening of such a high level power alerted some less desirable beings from the other plane.
Before James could even put his feeling into words the car that he was in had been thrown off the over the edge of the overpass that it had be traveling along and began to tumble to the earth. Instinctively James managed to create a protective construct around himself saving himself as the entire car crushed around him, his friends did not fair so well...
The car had been totaled an the music suddenly stopped, leaving James as blind as before and at the same time convincing his attacker that the source of the power had died. Over the next year James suffered from a deep depression that he could not seem to shake, no matter what anyone could say to him, he knew it was his fault that it happened.
Luckily for James, someone did finally come along who could pull him out of his depression. Someone who could understand his feelings, someone who could help him feel better. With that person's help he managed to master his personal demons and his abilities, allowing him to use them for what they were meant for.
