LIKES Jam on toast, tea with just a splash of milk, peace (not silence, mind you), excitement, jumpers, feeling needed, Quidditch

PATRONUS Wolf, because he is unfailingly loyal and fiercely protective to and for those he cares for.
PERSONALITY
Hamish is a solid but complex man. He is a commanding presence despite his short stature, it’s a calm sort of command, though. The kind that makes a person stand a little straighter without thinking and want to put their best foot forward. While he is not easily impressed, he understands when a person has done something to the best of their ability and can acknowledge the effort appropriately. He is not easily fazed by the gruesome or messy things in life, but he will get frustrated if things don’t quite go the way he planned.
While he craves excitement, he also loves the simple pleasures of life.
All in all, Hamish is a good man to have on one’s side, but it can mean disaster to end up on his bad side. He doesn’t trust easy, so to earn it is an accomplishment in itself. Hamish protects those he cares for with everything he has, willing to put his own life on the line for theirs.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

OTHER James Harold Jameson, aged 65, estranged father. Lyla Kay McGregor, Mother, Deceased.
HISTORY
James met Lyla one fair day while touring Scotland at the age of 23. Lyla, a mere 19 at the time, had been immediately charmed by the older man and the pair entered a fast courtship. For the first few months their relationship was one to be envied, so smitten did they appear to be with each other, but James slowly began showing his true self. Having suffered a fair bit of physical abuse at the hands of his own father, James was against actually hitting anyone, but he still threw barbs. The verbal abuse lasted another three months before Lyla finally got the nerve to pack her things and leave one night while James was out drinking.
Two weeks after leaving, though, Lyla discovered that she was pregnant. However, unwilling to return to an abusive relationship for the sake of her unborn child, she returned to her parents for support. She remained with her parents for several months quite happily, and was finally beginning to recover from the abuse inflicted upon her. Unfortunately, that peace wasn't to last. James returned, furious, and dragged Lyla, now seven months along, back to his small flat. Heavily pregnant as she was, Lyla hadn't the energy to protest as much as she wanted to, though she made sure to vocalize her protests as loudly as possible and with as much flailing as her swollen stomach allowed. Being a muggle, Lyla hadn't the abilities to escape James when he magically locked her in the flat while he went out. Thus it came to be that Hamish James Jameson was born in the dingy bathroom of a small flat in the center of Magical London. Lyla was beyond thrilled to have him, despite his rather sudden arrival during stressful times. She cleaned and wrapped him herself and cared for him as best she could until James returned. Of course, James named his son after himself, conceited as he was, and Hamish was christened with a name so redundant he still shuddered when the entirety of it was uttered.
When Hamish was two years old, Lyla once again packed her things and escaped one lucky night after several months of patiently lulling James into a false sense of security. She returned to her parents for support until she managed to get her feet back under her. Unfortunately, it only took a month for James to return, more furious than the last time. He dragged Lyla back by her hair, and for the first time in his young existence, he actually hit a woman. Unfortunately, Lyla was at the top of a flight of stairs when the blow fell and knocked her off her feet. She didn't survive the fall.
Lyla's parents made James promise not to seek out his son in exchange for not pressing charges against him, he wisely took the deal and fled back to London. So it was, that Hamish was raised by his maternal grandparents with as much love as could be given. They were overjoyed to learn he was a wizard, and encouraged his studies. When the Second Wizarding War broke out, Hamish fled the Wizarding world and joined the Muggle army. He only returned from a tour in Afghanistan two years ago after receiving a bullet to his left shoulder.

RP EXPERIENCE? Since March of last year
RP SAMPLE. Hamish didn't particularly like sand. Mostly because it got everywhere. Literally, everywhere. In his boots, his socks, down his shirt, and--possibly worst of all--down his pants. It chafed and dried his skin in ways no amount of lotion would fix. The sweltering heat of the desert sun did nothing to help. Gunshots and bombs went off all around him, but he paid it little mind in his small medical tent. He rarely concerned himself with the goings on outside the tent, more concerned with the man or woman spread across his--not really--operation table.
He'd never really expected to be hit. Despite being in the middle of a war zone, he'd lasted several years in that tent without being hit and he saw no reason why that ought to change. Unfortunately, either by sheer luck on their enemy's side or supreme stupidity on theirs, an enemy combatant managed to get across to their side of the battle. With a machine gun trained on the small white, canvas medical tent, the soldier unloaded round after round. Hamish wasn't the only one hit and several died in the process of either trying to escape or helping others to do so. His one, last thought before completely blacking out was, Please, God, let me live.
