## Appearance

James is a tall man, standing at about 6 feet 1 nches, with a slender build that makes his height even more prominent. His long, black hair is often described as stringy, falling in loose waves down below his shoulders. The darkness of his hair contrasts sharply with his pale complexion making him look like a living corpse. What sets James apart is his unique eye. In his right eye, he has a concentric circle-shaped iris. It's a mesmerizing sight, with shades of gray blending together to create an entrancing pattern. However, when he activates his quirk, his iris turns a striking shade of purple.

When it comes to his fashion sense, James prefers to embrace the style of Victorian or Edwardian gentlemen. His typical outfit is a nod to the past, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance. He can often be seen wearing a black bowler hat, perched neatly atop his head. Beneath the hat, James dons a crisp white button-up dress shirt, the shirt is usually paired with a waistcoat, adding a touch of formality to his ensemble. To complete the look, he opts for an ascot or cravat, or sometimes even a vibrant red scarf, neatly tied around his neck.

When it comes to his lower half, James prefers to wear trousers, often in dark colors such as black or charcoal gray. They are tailored to fit his slim frame perfectly, emphasizing his long legs. On his feet, he wears black Oxford shoes, polished to a shine. For whatever reason James wears a purple bandana that covers his left eye. The bandana is tied securely, concealing his eye from view.

One accessory that James is rarely seen without is a cigarette. He can often be spotted with one in hand, a cloud of smoke swirling around him. Lastly, James is known for his menacing grin, which seems to be a permanent fixture on his face. His lips curl upwards, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth.

## Quirk & Abilities

### Quirk

**"Where There's Smoke, There's Fire"** is a formidable Emitter-Type Quirk that bestows upon James the remarkable capacity to conjure and manipulate two distinct elemental forces: smoke and fire. The initial facet of James's Quirk allows him to spontaneously generate dense, obscuring clouds of smoke at will. These plumes can range from wispy tendrils to billowing, opaque mists, and their volume and intensity are entirely within his command. This aspect of his power serves as a versatile tool, enabling him to create a shroud of concealment or confusion, obscuring both vision and tracking efforts. The second, more volatile aspect of his Quirk involves the ignition of the previously generated smoke. With a mere thought or a focused gesture, James can initiate a controlled combustion, transforming the once-harmless smoke into roaring flames. These flames are not ordinary; they are infused with an eerie purple hue, a visual signature unique to his Quirk.
