I mentioned some of these ideas about my character's pre-game history, and the GM suggested I put them down on ... digital paper. Thus...
(And zenwolf is free to suggest any changes as I made some guesses about the relationship between JWesson and SRemington that might not track with his envisioning of the character.)
James Wesson is the only son of Devon and Honey Wesson. His father was a US Army Ranger and retired at the rank of COL/O-6 before entering politics, eventually rising to being Lieutenant Governor of Oregon, while his mother is a noted surgeon. From his father, he learned to love physical activity and was instilled with a deep sense of patriotism, and from his mother, he developed an abiding interest in medicine. At an early age, JWesson determined that he wanted to be a military physician.
He mostly grew up in [CITY] (although he spent summers at his grandparents' ranch) and attended the same elementary and high schools as Sam Remington, whom he considers to be his best friend. Although one would normally look at the two and see them as unlikely friends, they bonded in kindergarten and remained as close as brothers throughout their years in school. It was James' influence that led Sam to trying out for sports, and Sam's influence that introduced James to fantasy & sci-fi. They were inseparable during their Scouting years and both ended up attending the same university (Oregon State) where they were roommates for all four years.
While in college, James became romantically interested in Eleanor, Sam's sister, but did not ask her out until he had her brother's permission. Because of the close brotherly relationship JWesson maintains with Sam, he hasn't yet brought up his discovery of Ellie's cheating out of fear that Sam was aware of it and just hadn't mentioned it to James since their friendship had waned over the years while JWesson was in the military.
He likely did not meet the other characters (ASmith, AColt, JWBarrett) until college and football try-outs, though it is possible their paths may have crossed prior to that.
