James Johnson

James Johnson was the communications officer on the Blue Dwarf. He was an active and important crewmember during the early months of the Blue Dwarf's mission.

History
James came from a family of JMC workers. His mother told him that his father was a brilliant officer, although the truth was that his father was on painting duty at all times.

James, thinking the stories were true, went into the Academy thinking that he would be able to be just like his father. His dream was to meet little green men that lived in the rocky caverns of Jupiter - who, of course, did not exist.

He was assigned to the Blue Dwarf as a back up crewman, and held in stasis until he was needed. When the previous communications officer committed suicide, James was awoken from stasis to fill the role.

James has the honour of being one of the first humans to establish first contact with an alien species. Along with Doom Harbinger, James met Efof Yu'Wan'Kar on the Ffion orbital station when the crew visited the planet.

Appearance
James was a tall, lanky, and spotting young man,

Personality
James was brought up on a diet of comic books, sci-fi television, and his mother's exaggerated tales about his father. And so, he firmly believed that space was a fantastic place to have adventures, as opposed to the more widely accepted theory that space is big and empty and full of rocks.

Although entirely personable, James had the tendency to bore people with how much he locked space.

Alternate Versions

 * High-James: Working as the Communications Officer on the Blue Dwarf of the High-Universe, this James was a camp and flirty version of prime-James. He was presumably killed when the High-Dwarf was destroyed.
 * Low-James: Known as Jimmy Johnson, he was the put upon and weak willed Communications Officer of the Low-Dwarf. Although not wholly evil like his fellow crewmen, who tortured him mercilessly (literally), he did swap the prime-James into his place and pretended to be him.
