Character's Personality: James Norrington is an honorable man, highly skilled and talented in all that he does. In his career, he has glided from midshipman to lieutenant and then to Commodore speedily due to his hard work and perseverance. This has earned his recognition and trust from his superiors and underclassmen. Although James may appear frigid, up-tight and smug, he treats his colleagues with respect and is kind to those he cares for. James feels it's his duty to rid Port Royale of piracy, his strong sense of pride and justice helpful in the mission. Norrington is also deadly with a sword and can only be bested by Will Turner. Most admirably, James strives always to do what is right and dedicates his time and service to others, not just himself.
Character's History: James's first mission as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy was aboard the HMS Dauntless. He was to deliver Govenor Weatherby Swann and his daughter, the then younger Elizabeth Swann safely to Port Royale. Years later, Norrington has been appointed Captain of the HMS Interceptor. At this time he was preparing for his promotion to the rank of Commodore, which occurred at a ceremony at Fort Charles.
It seemed all was swell, and all that remained was Elizabeth Swann whom he had fallen in love with. Everything was falling into place accordingly until the infamous pirate Jack Sparrow stumbled upon Port Royale and interrupted the Commodore's marriage proposal.
Despite Norrington's attempt to arrest Sparrow, Will Turner intervened and along Elizabeth followed. James accepted her decision nobly and even ceased to chase the convicted pirate for a day, letting them escape. He later pursued the ship mercilessly, as Elizabeth's safety was then probably in danger. After a number of very unfortunate events occurred after this serious mistake, he was found a fallen man and heavily intoxicated in Tortuga, sunken to the same level as the very man who had cost him his position, love and crew.
James lived life as a pirate on The Black Pearl for a short while before his perfect opportunity for redemption finally came. After an epic three-way sword fight on Isla Cruces, James cunningly snatched Davy Jones's heart from the jar of dirt and pretended to create a diversion with the chest while he escaped. He brought the heart back to Lord Cutler Beckett, and replaced Jack's name with his on the Letters of Marque. His charges were cleared, his honor regained and job replaced with a stunning new promotion to Admiral for the East India Trading Company. Unfortunately, Norrington did not realize just how power-hungry Lord Cutler Beckett was, and heavily regrets his sins and aiding him in the killings of countless people. After a brief but emotional encounter with Elizabeth aboard The Flying Dutchman, he decides to disobey the orders given to him by Lord Cutler Beckett and choose her side, the right side. In his act of freeing her and her crew, gives his life and dies for love.

Roleplay
Task: You have just arrived at Walt Disney World. Your character has just been brought to the Happiest Place On Earth, but what happens then? What do you do first? What park are you going to go to?
The scorching sun blazed against James's worn face, waking him from his unconscious state. His eyes slit open, his eyebrows furrowed as a low grunt escaped his lips. Well, I'm alive. If that's anything to feel excited about.
He sat up slowly, grimacing as he shielded his eyes from the sun's burning rays. As he stood, he could not recognize his surroundings at all. For a wavering moment, James wondered if he had wound up in this place when he had been drunk and just couldn't remember his importance in being present there. A sign overhead read "Welcome to Walt Disney World, The Happiest Place On Earth." James reacted with a bitter chuckle, "Oh dear!" he remarked sarcastically.
Well, there was no use in just standing there in a daze wondering where you are when you could just find out. Norrington ran a hand through his messy brown bangs, pushing them out of his dirty face as he began to walk towards the entrance. He could see children flocking about, giggling and smiling and playing games with one another. James was unsure of how to react to this, seeing as he had never been around so many children in his life. He felt overwhelmed, though his expression was blank. He just hoped there was someone who could tell him where he was so he could get the hell out of there.
