Douglas James/2.0 and Prior

Douglas James is a character role-played by Niccorazi.
==General Information==
Douglas James came to Los Santos looking to create a new beginning after a half baked career in the military. 
==History==
Douglas James is a former military demolitions expert who turned to a motorcycle and the free, open road after the honorable discharge earned from two tours of duty serving his country. Those who knew him in the military can attest to his loyalty to his unit and the solemn way he carried himself, aside from a couple scraps with his commanding officers. 
Towards the end of his second tour of duty, Doug became disenchanted with the rigidity of military life and waited with tightly-contained anticipation for his discharge day. When that day arrived, Doug set forth to determine what his post-military life would be like. As much as he grew to dislike following strict sets of rules and bending to authority figures, Doug's experiences in the military taught him to value loyalty, family, and brotherhood.
After about six months riding around the country, hopping from hotel to hotel and bar to bar, Doug learned of a city called Los Santos in the state of San Andreas. He was told he could find anything and anyone he was looking for there. There were plenty of options for earning money, both over the table and under it, so he sold his sweetheart and hopped on a flight to LS. This is where it gets complicated, this is the memory Doug had up until his Douglheim revelation, now he is not even sure if he was ever in the military, as he doesn't remember much about his time in the military, only that he "was in the military". See "Douglheim" below for more info.
== Affiliations ==
Doug was brought into the HOA as a hangaround by Kray-Tor Skullfondler. Prior to this, he was part of Outto-Tune Tyrone's crew that focused on import and export of materials for big buyers in the city. Doug spent a few months working with Outto-Tune Tyrone and was part of the original crew for TGI until his "Douglheim" revelation, which helped him realize he wanted bigger and better things.
He had already been hanging around with the HOA for about a month and had began doing various jobs with them. About three months into being a hang around, on October 24th, 2020 Doug was made into an official prospect of the HOA after Huckleberry “Huck” Guthrie and Kray-Tor both agreed to promote him. Doug remained a prospect for about a month, until he decided to embark on a journey with Dundee and the BBMC as they tried to rebuild that motorcycle club. Doug started as a hang around for the BBMC, and has since been promoted to prospect.
Doug has left his BBMC affiliation after the city collapsed, awaiting for it's 3.0 rebuild.
==Douglheim==
Doug believes he is "Douglheim the Great", who is a Viking from space and that he was attacked by space monkeys who poked his eye and caused him to lose his brother in outer space. He also believes that at the peak of Mt. Chiliad he can plant potato beacons on the antenna of Mt. Chiliad that burn messages into the potato that help him communicate with his mother in Asgard. Kray-Tor originally dressed Doug, helping Doug remember he was Douglheim. Many people consider him: weird, crazy, and unhinged which got him the nickname Raphael #2 (in reference to Raphael Kristof, as he is also weird, crazy, and unhinged).
==Departure from the HOA==
However, Doug decided to leave the HOA in favor of joining Irwin Dundee and the Bondi Boys MC. His intent to leave was due to the HOA not being a good fit, even though he cared for everyone in the organization. He, then, left by leaving a note with his kutte letting them know he is opening a new chapter in his life and it wont be with the HOA. Upon finding the note, Kray-Tor accused him of being a cop, then made insinuations like he was going to die, Huck did the same. It was then that Doug said he would hold on to Siz Fulker's Cliffhanger until he knew he was safe. 
His actions after leaving the HOA the way he did left a bad taste in the mouth of many HOA members, then to make things worse he laid out the Angels and Chang Gang a few times with the The Russian Mafia due to the The Russian Mafia's affiliation with BBMC, and that has put the crosshairs of various groups on his back. Additionally, he has been blacklisted by The Lost MC from doing any sort of business after Kraytor vented to them; Erin Cox also tried but failed to get him blacklisted by the hobos. 
==Doug's Eyes==
Doug has had his eyes gouged out twice, once by Big T in the Southside, and then again by Huckleberry Guthrie and Fiona Stewart of the HOA while in prison. The reason the HOA wanted his eyes was because the Lady of the Lake had fixed his eyes previously after Big T took them, and the HOA believed they were their property. Doug was treated by Dr. Jannetty at Pillbox Medical Center where Jannetty gave him Cyberpunk Steve Buscemi eyes. At first they were set on the preset of "Crazy Eyes" from "Mr Deeds", but Doug had a hard time seeing straight and he thought he was facing the doctor when he was really facing the electrical box. Then the Dr. re calibrated the eyes to "Boardwalk Empire Nucky Thompson" eyes. At any time Doug can calibrate his eyes to any role Steve Buscemi has played. 
==Electric Chair==
After leaving the HOA and joining the BBMC a war started between the HOA and BBMC to settle beef that Siz has had with Dundee ongoing for a long time, as well as settle the beef with Doug leaving. Doug robbed the person running the food truck in Mirror Park and forced him to make two donuts, Doug then gave the worker $200 and drove off screaming BEACHSIIIIIDE! Doug was then later kidnapped by the HOA when they saw him driving around a second Christmas Granger, Huck took Doug to the electric chair (high voltage power station) up at the observatory where he was electrocuted five times leaving his hair up on end singed and his vocal chords burnt. This has left Doug with a higher pitch voice and doctors don't know how long it will take for him to recover. Doug describes it as being "fried like a chicken" and often says his vocal chords are "all burnt up".
