Personality: James was shaped into the person he is today by an unstable family life. His family environment was unsound, to say the least,His parents' marriage was loveless, often times volatile. This marriage both intrigued and disgusting young James, he was fascinated and repulsed. The turmoil of his parents' marriage, however, left James without a dependable source of encouragement or love. He learned to deal with his parents' erratic mood swings and coped by learning to predict his parents' behavior.
James was probably born with, and at very least was developing into, an `observer' type personality. He is a remarkably observant person, always scrutinizing both others and the environments into which he is placed. This `observer' type personality was developed and heightened by the tragic loss of his wife and son. James' personality was drastically altered as he became a recluse. He blamed himself for not protecting his sister and suffered severely from survivor's guilt, adding this to his rage which caused him to become a flippant, misanthropic, and a vaguely psychopathic man.
Deep down his intuition, however, is his greatest asset. This insight, along with his intense intellectual comprehension. He has an innocent curiosity that when combined with his intellectual depth yields a character that is astoundingly fascinating. He has a vast array of knowledge, which helps him to piece together ideas that would not often be associated with each other. There is the part of him that has been lost and buried under everything...
This side of him is courageous; he fearlessly charges into dangerous situations, leaving little time to think of his won well being. This means he tends to be a bit reckless, putting other people's well being above his own. Birth and death intrigue him; tragedy and crisis captivate him. He is interested in the dark side of the human spirit, which leaves him open to attacks on his taste. He is often considered to have bad taste because of his aesthetic appreciation for the unexpected, odd, or overlooked parts of beauty. His eye perceives strange things as beautiful.
Likes: Murder, travel, stealing, fighting, alcohol, getting revenge on the time agency, the shadows, helping others when it fits into his needs
Dislikes: Being told what to do, the time agency, getting close to anyone, not being in charge, drugs, having some get through his defenses.
Fears: Not being in control of himself, falling in love, letting people close to him.
Powers: Unless you count being manipulative, cunning, independent, lying, self-confident, adaptive as powers then yes. Other wise not really
History: Nimbar the planet in which James born on had their rules and beliefs set into stone. He would be the only child born into a noble family. Once a son was born on Nimbar in a noble family, the could not have another child unless their child had passed away. Like with most families, the wife and husband were married for every other reason than for love. Thus giving James a very unstable childhood. Forced to go to school which he hated everything about only to come home to his parents fighting almost every moment. When he reached the right age, he disobeyed his parents wishes again. This time by joining up with the military, it was his way of escaping and getting away from everything he hated.
It where he gained the training that would later become useful for him. He worked his way up the ranks but left the military when the Time Agency took a interest in him. Though the last thing James wanted to do was more training and schooling, what the Agency offered him made the deal to good to pass up. So he persevered and even out did those who enlisted in the same time as him. However, James couldn't change the man he was. Taking orders and following them were always something he had trouble with. However the Agency put up with him because of his skills and because when James was showing signs of settling down and caring about something more than pissing others off. James had falling in love and was about to have a son, himself. Something he never thought he would want to have or let happen after his childhood. However, he promised himself that he would be a better father than his own was.
Though that would all come to an end when he came back home one day after finishing up a mission for the Agency. He was attacked from behind by two men then forced to watch as his wife and son were tortured then murdered. The men beat James within a inch of his life and left him for dead.
Soon as he recovered, he swore his remaining days would be spend trying to figure out who killed his wife and son or die trying to. He kept working with the Agency as way to seek out information without drawing too much attention to himself. It was on his last mission with the Agency that he took on the role and name that would become his for a while. He fell in love with the idea of a ranger. He found himself a decent cloak and a sword among other weapons that he loved.
During that mission was also when he learned it was his partner and some of the guy's friends. James set out and go revenge. He made it appear that those men had stolen and stolen technology. He watched as the men were assassinated. But the damage had been done, James was no long the sane man everyone knew. He pretty much became known as the Ranger from the moment on. Oh sure, he pretend he was and maybe deep down that honorable man was still there but it wasn't out for very long.
He would leave the agency and go on the run from them. All the while murder, stealing and doing what he needed to to make a living or just to please himself. After a few years when he was stuck on earth for sometime in the 21st century, there would be a women who would come into James' life to make him question himself and his way of life. Having been hired to kill her because the men who hired him, stumbled across something shouldn't have. However in the mere moments he spent with her while trying to get a chance to finish her off, she opened up a part of him that he thought was long gone. He ended up helping her escape from those who where after her and find what those men were after. But he made one mistake and left her alone, they killed her while James was fighting some of the other men.
Seeing her die brought back painful memories and left James questioning himself and his way of life still but he couldn't change who he was but he promised he would try to be a better man if he could help it. Even with that, he's still pretty much a flippant, misanthropic, and a vaguely psychopathic man.

RP Sample:
The night was still, clouds blocked the stars from showing in the night sky. Everything was quiet and barely any cars traveling all the streets. It was very late in the evening, only a few hours until the the sun would be up in the sky. However among the darkness, a orange, yellow and white light started to appear out of now where. As it grew in size, a tall man thin man who appearance was hiding behind a hooded cloak was walking through the strange light. The rift was open long enough for him to appear. The cloak was midnight blue almost blending him into the dark alley. Behind the shadow of the hood, a pair of green eyes peered out. It only took him a moment to get his barrings and figure out where he was.
Ranger was on the run again, looking for a hiding place to lay low for a while, twenty first century Cardiff seemed like a perfect place for that. It was a place nor time he had ever been before. Having taken another weapon from one now very unhappy person, was after him. Wanting his weapon and Ranger's skin. 'Wonder what I can find around here to keep me busy or if there is even a place around here at this time to get something to drink... Either way at least I won't be followed or found here... The rouge time agent thought to himself. The man brought his hands up to wrap around the hood of his cloak. His hands covered in leather gloves that were fingerless gloves. They matched the leather arm guards that he wore, his wrist strap blending in with them.
His shaggy blonde hair was a bit curly and hang in his eyes slightly as he lowered the hood down. Ranger made his way out from the alley, looking around the street and surrounding areas. Still really not sure about this town or what to do in it. He turned left and started walking down the street, thinking he would just do whatever he felt like. Wouldn't be doing any less than that, it was his typical thing to do and he no longer cared what happened because of his actions. That all ended years ago, when what he valued the most had been taken from him and he had been held back and forced to watch what happened. Now there were just rumors of a rouge time agent who did whatever for the right amount of money but one that you never wanted to cross. There was no doubt that Ranger hated life, no matter if it was human or not and that he was no longer sane.
He started to cross the street when a car came to stop just inches from him, he stood there as the driver moved to yell at him. His hand came up and he grabbed the sword from his back and brought it down to slice the one tire before looking at the man and move to take a step toward the man who just end up taking off running. Ranger sheathed the sword, not in the mood to chase him. He drew out his gun and fired, hitting the man in the back before turning away from the scene and moving through a park. He stopped in front of a fountain, his eyes looking down at the water. A deep sigh as he stood there, thinking about how long he would have to wait around here until it was safe for him to head back to his favorite century and place. At least here there was plenty for him to do without anyone knowing or coming after him or so he thought.
He stood there for a few more moments, just watching the water before leaving, making his way through the park and out to another street. His eyes looked around and he choice to head right this time, wondering what was going to happen now. He really wanted a drink or maybe someone to have some fun with. However right now, he would just settle for anything to do. Maybe he should have showed up during the day time, he wondered how many more hours until it would be day light here. His hands pulled his hood back up as he continued to walk along the street.
