• Personality

  James is sort of like a cat. Sometimes he disappears into the backcountry for nights on end. Some days he's all up in your business. He likes to be around you only when it's his idea. He likes being patted on the head, told he's a pretty boy, and given free food, but God help you if you try to pick him up. If you offend him, he just might throw up in one of your shoes.
  
  He is incredibly cheap and will sell anything not nailed down. If James actually buys something for you, watch out. He's either plotting something or trying to get a date with you. He keeps his promises (most of the time) and doesn't make a bad ally if the price of your head doesn't outweigh whatever trouble you're going through.
  
  The man's mouth is probably his biggest enemy, which is what landed him with that seasonal rack of his. The line between bravery and stupidity is very tin and James toes it constantly. He's not that great with romance either, tending to act immature around those he's taken a fancy to and forgetting that he's sort of creepy looking and the fact that standing outside their place of work for hours on end is not acceptable courting behavior.
  
  JW is the reason the McDonalds soda fountains say "REFILLS SAME VISIT ONLY" and that is all you really need to know.

• History

  James Walter became a crotchety old man long before his time. Uprooted from his relatively simple life in 1974 by a rogue time vortex, JW has been making the most of it in Hawksaw MS, since 2007. He was named town hero after vanquishing a monster with the help of an undead wolf named Deuteronomy and a shotgun. It is now his job to make sure nothing threatens the sleepy little town ever again.
  
  It's a tough gig, but the town agreed to keep his medicine supplied so long as he keeps them safe. James suffers from malnutrition, debilitating pain in his right arm, and mild visual and auditory hallucinations that aren't helpful at all in his line of work.
  
  Deuteronomy is the one who scratched his eye. She had meant to kill him outright (their first meeting was less than polite and involved a second story window) but wound up placing a ghoul's curse upon it. He can see spirits with his bad eye, but the vision is so poor in it now that he has trouble with depth perception.
