| PERSONALITY |
| Beliefs | If it's not nailed down, I can make it fly |
| Ambitions | Win as many amateur racing trophies as he can |
| Dislikes | Moving slowly |
| Religion | None |
| Psychological Profile | A typical "hotshot" pilot, bordering on immature, and occasionally hot-tempered. Nonetheless an extremely gifted pilot. James is well aware of his abilities and has a hard time not being a bit on the arrogant side. Very outgoing, and fun to be around, loves to party. Has a long list of ex-girlfriends, most of whom don't like him very much (anymore). |
| Hobbies | Flying, racing, and parachuting from orbit. Has a large collection of racing trophies. Is very skilled at flying old 20th century bi-plane reproductions and loves "barn storming" when he can. Usually, he has to use the holodeck for this sort of thing, but it's much more fun in real life. |
| Other Information | Claims to be related to the "Jimmy Doolittle" of Earth's 20th Century "Golden Era Of Flight" and "World War II" fame. However, this is in doubt, as he tends to tell tall tales. |
