Background

When he was little, James’s father left him, his mother, and England, causing him to be emotionally traumatized. James is incredibly intelligent as he built his first skateboard when he was eight. His mother is the owner of the Benbow Inn. Sometimes he helps at the inn with picking up the dishes and washing them. James had a history of skating in restricted areas which led to him often getting in trouble with the cops and had previously been on probation. He was failing, constantly getting into trouble, and when his mother talks to him, he acts like a stranger towards her. He started cleaning up his act after learning about a study abroad program opportunity in Japan because he felt like there was something calling him to Japan. He hopes that by proving his academic worth in the study abroad program, people back home will see him differently.
Relationships
Family
parents — Leland and Sarah Hawkins
James was brought in the world to young parents. Leland was 19 years old while Sarah was 18 years old. When Leland left his family while James was still young, it caused him to be emotionally traumatized and act out as a teenager. His mother, Sarah, loves him dearly. James remembers his mother crying when Leland left them. She read him books about space and pirates in his childhood. When he is in trouble, she calls him by his full name. He would always find stray pets and beg his mother to let him keep them. As a teenager, his mother finds that when she talks to him, he acts like a stranger towards him. As Sarah knows how smart he is, she tries to convince him not to throw away his entire future. She is relieved to see James clean up his act but initially has reservations about him traveling abroad to Japan. He managed to convince her and she bids him farewell at the airport, wishing him luck.
Friends
Makoto Kino aka Sailor Jupiter
In their past lives, they were half siblings as Zeus was their father. Although they were born within the same year, Jove was born before Princess Jupiter so she regarded him as an older brother. When Jove and Princess Jupiter were able to spend time with one another, the two of them would try to catch Jovian fauna together. However, as they got older, Jupiter grew taller than him one day. In modern days, despite him being older than Makoto by being born 12 days earlier, she seems more like the big sister figure due to the height difference and her temperament. Makoto is always making sure he is well-fed and willing to cook for him and the other Jovian guardians.
Josephine Taskier aka Sailor Taygete
In their previous lives, Josephine was Jacinta, his past life mother. Jove asked Jacinta about the meaning of Taygete, and she told him about the nymph who was part of the Pleiades and about the Pleiades. She loved Jove dearly and they would often stargaze together. Upon encountering each other in modern days, James was at a loss for words because of how beautiful she was. For some reason, James finds it easier to open up to her compared to his biological mother. Josephine has a motherly relationship with James but has no intention of replacing his biological mother.

Love Interests
Tomiko Mikan aka Sailor Euporie
The two of them first met during her initiation ceremony to become Princess Jupiter's guardian Sailor Guardian. She couldn't help but notice the Baron of Taygete and her princess's half-brother (as he was the illegitimate son of Zeus and Sailor Taygete) sharply dressed in formal wear. It wasn't until Princess Serenity's and Princess Tranquility's 14th birthday ball that they finally got to talk to one another. They danced with one another and later talked to each other about sword fighting outside of the ball and even jokingly got competitive at who was the better fighter. She boldly kissed him before the night ended and she had to return to her post. They met each other in their current lives and got to physically spar with one another with swords during training. When they were alone, she told him. "Look at you glowing brightly like a star." He told her that he was lucky to be able to be with her again.

Allies and Teammates
Edward Elric aka Sun Knight
Both attended Hyōtei Academy's sister school in London. They both participated in the study abroad program to attend Hyōtei Academy in Tokyo as they felt something calling them to Japan. They are alike as they are both English, 15-year-old boys who are rebellious, extremely intelligent, and wear braids. Both can alter their English accents to American sounding ones due to watching American movies and they do that to avoid getting laughed at by their fellow Solar System Celestial Knights. Both can speak to each other in their native English accent without fear of judgement. However, when anyone points out their similarities, both would strongly deny them.
(Inuyasha) Yasuo Taisho aka Lunar Knight
In their previous lives, they had a friendship that was brotherly. They often spar and it usually gets competitive and can last for a long time. In their current lives, Inuyasha attends Hyōtei Academy and James ends up going there to study abroad. James learns quickly that his tough guy act doesn't hold a candle to Inuyasha's jaded nature and yet he doesn't back down. When James says he's going to prove people back home wrong, Inuyasha verbally challenges him to make something of himself. Even in their current lives, they still have intense, competitive, sparring matches.

Inspirations
Since James is pretty much the character from Disney’s Treasure Planet, he had to keep his theme song. His middle name “Pleiades” inspired the quantity of nine in his “Thunderflash Bombs” and his “Rattling Stars” attacks. Joh Silver’s quote “Look at you! Glowing like a solar fire. You’re something special, Jim. You’re gonna rattle the stars, you are!” inspired the names of his “Flashing Lightning Bolt”, “Sunflower Electric Flare”, “Rattling Stars”, and “Shaking Thunderstorm” attacks. Josephine aka Sailor Taygete’s attack “Whispering Stars” helped inspire the name of his “Rattling Stars” attack. The Disney wikia helped me write his personality. John Silver’s quote “Stick to it, no matter the squalls!” inspired his motto “Stick to it!”
