(http://charmed.wikia.com/wiki/Projection), in the very long term.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>There are approximately two types of people in the world: those who find James to be witty and oddly charming, and those who are understandably infuriated with his smarmy attitude and lack of personal drive.  Thankfully for his ego, most fall into the latter camp.  He is the archetypical parasite, leeching off of friends and family whenever he is able to avoid having to commit to a real career.  He considers himself to be quite the smooth-talker, able to wheedle his way in and out of most situations without having to exert himself, though anyone that's known him long enough can smell his bullshitting from a mile away.  He's quite good at coming across as a sophisticated yet tortured artist, despite having never once created anything of value<br/><br/>That being said, he can be genuinely entertaining when he isn't looking to get something out of you, and is remarkably experienced at draining the tension out of a room when the need arises.  James is also a bit more street savvy than one might expect, due in no small part to the several occasions that he spent his days out on the street when he couldn't wring enough money out of people to pay the rent.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><br/>The middle child of the Warren Family, James was always something of a disappointment.  Living in the shadow of a far more respectable older brother and cast to one side after the birth of his younger brother helped to fill him with a rather bitter sense of uselessness.  As they grew up it became quite apparent that he was not as creative as the eldest and not nearly so intelligent as the youngest, forcing him into filling the niche as the utterly unremarkable Warren son.<br/><br/>Sometime in Middle School he simply stopped giving a shit altogether, adopting a somewhat darker and careless attitude and style that, against all odds, managed to draw a rather unusual crowd of so-called outcasts.  Much to his bafflement it seemed as though the more callous and dismissive he became, the more they seemed to like and fawn over him.  It was around that time that he began using people and promptly discarding them when they had nothing left to offer, much to the concern of his siblings.  As the years went on he gradually seemed to distance himself from them, perhaps aware of exactly what he was becoming and too ashamed to be scrutinized by them.<br/><br/>It was hardly surprising that he couldn't even work up the ambition to finish Community College, dropping out instead to shack up with a successive series of shallow and easily manipulated girlfriends (and, so it was rumored, the occasional male acquaintance) in order to get by.  The occasional menial and short-lived job here and there managed to keep him afloat between willing 'victims' of his habitual mooching, when he wasn't ringing up his brothers or grandfather in search of a handout.  Most of his days were spent wandering through bars and neon-tainted nightclubs (particularly during the periods of homelessness) in search of new game, blatantly ignoring the calls he received from family and older friends until he got into a real bind.<br/><br/>He's currently managed to find a particularly wretched one-room apartment that is only marginally better than sleeping outside on a bench, his only regret that he hasn't managed to sucker in another woman in several months.  Despite the unstable living conditions over the years, James has always gone to great lengths to keep up his good looks instead of looking like a grimy bum.  When one chooses to get by with a forked tongue and charming smile, appearances are everything.
