James Brookstone

**James "Jimmy" Wan Brookstone** was a member of the Ninja Force (also known as Old Guard) and elite captain of the Black Delta Agency's operations. James was one of the only members of his team that did not possess any elemental powers, however, he was regarded to as the Violet Ninja and served as a diplomat between his allies in the Ninja Force and ones in the government. James was the firstborn and oldest child of Cole Brookstone and Seliel Watanake as well as a surogate nephew to friends of his father. He was the spouse of Amber Brown, father of Scotty Brown, older brother of Elias and Dana Brookstone, and brother-in-law to Liberty Brown. James gained his above normal strength from the genes of his father's side and the martial arts taught to him by his mother's relatives. He would learn more essential skills at The International Ninja Academy alongside Vincent Roberts and Emma Haruno, who were part of the second group of additions to the Ninja Force.

After graduation, James would go off to assist in conflicts against the Dark Horizon Syndicate until he would cross paths with and join the team in their battle against Cain's Ghost Army and many other threats leading up to the arrival of the Shadow Forgers. He was a witty, smart, charming and confident fighter and comrade who often wouldn't let his friends' gifts of elemental powers overshadow his human potential. Like the team leader, Jason Walker, James would struggle with the fear of losing loved ones, especially after the death of his father. His goal was to give the people of the society he lived in the freedom they deserved. Freedom from corrupt government figures such as the nephew of Cyrus Borg, kings of the criminal underworld like Johnathan Destrevan, and greater threats like the Oni Empire. Although James was never put in the spotlight unlike a handful of his comrades, he got his shining moments across their adventures, such as: shooting Johnathan Destrevan in the upper body various times, bringing down one of the Garma-Titans that attacked the city and the aiding in the defeat of the poser Bane Destrevan. James would rally alongside other members of the Ninja Force to keep the Shadow Forgers off the backs of Jason, Natalie, Vincent and Levi as those four would be a part of the cause that restored their reality of Earth-20's inhabitants and components upon Earth-21.

Within the new world, James would join the Black Delta Corps to help people of the cities and towns that were hurt by criminal factions and syndicates. Here, James would meet and befriend Joey Destrevan shortly before the young Destrevan's fall to darkness and demise at the hands of the Omega. James would pursue a life of romance with Amber Brown after being reunited with his mother, who disappeared after his birth to face down and deal with enemies of her bloodline and joined the Black Delta Corps as a supporting commander. During the five-year-absence of the Ninja Force, James would be promoted to commander after the death of his mother during the Oni Warlord Vessels' attack upon New Genesis City and would do his best to stop invaders from taking over but would have to join the Resistance in bringing back the missing heroes and tearing down the Black Sun. In the finale of Beyond: Unlimited, James would assist Vincent, Digital, Cody and Brooklyn in defending the people of New Genesis City from the Shadow Forgers while Keith, Zeke, Sabrina, Natalie and Alessia dealt with the Fallen Angel and White Wren. The Ninja Force would fade into the background as the Black Delta Corps would advance their numbers and qualities to become an improved unit of defense for the Provinces. The last thing James would want to see pass, soon came in the form of war.

As the reclusive Dark Order instigated a conflict between the Oni Empire and Prowler Syndicate into one with the multiverse, the Ninja Force and their allies from their own reality and other realities would form a multiversal alliance to fight back against the enemy; the Multiverse Protection Corps was born. James would serve as a supporting commander during the series of wars with multiple big gatherings of foes from across the cosmos. He would aid in the Siege of the Oni City and capture of Saiko as well as fighting back against the God Garmadon and his axis forces. James would also lend a helping hand during the many events of the Final Battle of a New Genesis. After the war was over and the Black Delta Corps were reinstalled to their former state of agency, James would take Amber's hands in marriage and adopt a son named Scott.

James's life would get harder in the new age of heroes as with Landon Hayate's return came many shocking events such as his own son's sacrifice to stop a Prowler cruiser from attempting a kamikaze on New Genesis City and Keith and Natalie's deaths at the hands of Landon, who was also slain in the end. He would even see the death of his wife at the hands of a variant of the man who raised him; Kai Smith. During Saiko's return, James would sacrifice himself to allow Cody and Brooklyn the chance to live and warn the rest of the MPC of the Oni King's return. The Defenders, Black Delta Corps and remaining members of the Old Guard would commemorate his sacrifice at the Fallen Heroes Memorial near the International Ninja Academy.
