*claws at face* just ONE?! Augh... uh... ummm... *rolls a die*
James Jesse, the Trickster!
I feel like he may have loaded my dice...
• what they'd do if they had a kitten in their shorts
Let's face facts: James probably put the kitten there himself. This is a man who attacks people with pudding, mostly to distract them from the way he's an easily-bored world-class con artist with a genius for off-the-wall inventions. So it'll depend on what purpose he put the kitten there for, and probably involve a humorous dance. (Whereas if a kitten just crawled up the leg of his shorts when he was preoccupied, he'd probably just fish it out with a little grumbling, set it out of the way with a "No", and carry on.)
• what they'd do if sent on a multi-week camping trip
Ignoring how very low the possibility of James obeying anyone trying to "send him" anywhere -- well, I guess he was in the FBI for a while, so it isn't totally impossible -- it depends on if he has company. If he has company, COMPLAIN INCESSANTLY and/or behave in a manner befitting his latest trick. If he's on his own, he'll probably be pretty okay. He grew up a carnie, he's got experience living rougher than most settled folk are used to, and it would be a decent opportunity to catch up on his reading and plot new plots.
• their most fabulous moment in canon
*blows out a hard breath* So many choices.... He beat the devil at his own game. Literally. More than once.
• what they'd sing at karaoke (and how they'd do)
Oh, dear God. Uhhhh... he's totally shameless and a complete ham. He'll sing anything, and he'll chew up the stage and probably do terrible things with tune and tempo and vibrato and volume while he's at it. He could probably also perform a surprisingly sincere rendition of any given old-fashioned cowboy song.
• what they think about in the shower
Best not to speculate, really.
• what they'd do if someone appeared claiming to be their kid from the future
Bear hug, followed by a number of zany-seeming tests to verify the claim.
• what they'd do if someone appeared claiming to be their kid from the past
Ah, yes, Billy. Saved him from religious assassins (managed to drag Piper into it), iirc.
• what kind of hobbies they have
What he does for his Rogues stuff is so varied that it's hard to tell where research and activity solely for enjoyment meet, but his interest in the Old West seems to be the thing that is most purely just for enjoyment.
• if their hair color is natural and how I know
A blond Italian seems against stereotype, doesn't it? And sometimes he has dark eyebrows, but I think the fact that he was blond in the flashbacks to his childhood are the best indicator we have that he's probably a natural sunshine-top. Or else has a lifelong dedication to the colour.
• if this character is dead, and if so, if they can get better
I have no idea if he's kicking in the latest reboot of the universe, but last time I read before shit changed, he was dead, but there were like 4 ways Rogues fans could think of to easily change that -- including the fact that his son is the earthly avatar of a god of life/love/light. That one's usually my favourite.
