James Campbell (2/2)

[fightfair.livejournal.com]

History:
James and Eleanor were born in Pennsylvania as children of privilege, to a wealthy family that, by some stroke of fortune, managed to retain their abundance despite the downturn of the economy by relying on the steel industry, which had prospered despite the hard times. Born six minutes later than his elder sister, James nonetheless experienced the same pampered treatment that shaped their childhood. They grew up attended by many helping hands, but by the stern hand of their single father, however, neither child grew excessively spoiled, even if sometimes, the naiveté of a wealthy background sometimes shows through.

That is, to say, the Campbell family has never known hardship.

Their education had been at the forefront of their father’s concerns, and he had them sent to well-funded and well-equipped institutions since they were old enough to attend. Both siblings proved to perform well in their studies, as well, and even though their hobbies and circles of friends began to drift apart – James to his shooting and Eleanor to her cooking – the two twins and their father remained a close-knit triad of a family. Of course, they had their trifle fights, as siblings are wont to do, but to put it simply: it was an uneventful, but fortunate life, better than could be said for many Americans during the era.

Adessi was the latest of the educational endeavors their father sent them on. Truthfully, James had wanted to attend a boarding school somewhere further away, having always been the more fiercely independent of the two, and, as a boy, eager to prove himself in a world of men, but ultimately agreed to wait until university for that. Their grades and affluence certainly did nothing to mitigate their chances of acceptance, and the fall after turning fifteen, both James and Eleanor were promptly enrolled.

Weapon: Hunting Rifle
Stats: Agility, Strength, Magic, Luck, Vitality
Persona: Caledfwlch → Arthur (Caledfwlch is the Welsh name for the Excalibur, Arthur’s legendary sword, and Arthur, of course, is the same legendary Arthur Pendragon of lore. Like most other Emperor personas, Arthur is a king.)
Strength: Water → Ice
Weakness: Fire
Primary Skillset: Water → Ice
Secondary Skillset: Physical (Strike)
Other: James is a big fan of baseball, but he has never exactly learned how to play, being that he wasn’t exactly one of those kids around the neighborhood you could round up for a friendly game. The schools he went to also preferred classier recreational activities like…riding a horse, which he actually does with some proficiency, even if it’s torture on his back.

Also, Eleanor is actually the Empress character reserved (by a friend). I tried not to incorporate much about her in my application, but obviously parts of the history will be shared. I hope sibling characters are all right?
