James: transformation pattern

As with other evolvers, when you progress a tier from tier one, you unlock a new ability besides the inherent powers given by the pattern type. James had become a tier 3 pattern type and had thus unlocked 2 abilities, the first ability was to create and control different pheromones meaning that he could cause various effects when coupled with the virus energy. The second would be that he could mimic parts of people's bodies if he has a detailed understanding of the person's body.

after 4 years in the apocalypse, he lived in North Korea, since the apocalypse the infected included all of the North Korean ruling class which caused north Korea to become like the rest of the world and became overrun with south Korean immigrants who used the harsh border to resist the infected from the land route. Besides this North Korea had experienced quite nice living situations as the topography meant that a lot of settlements could be comfortably isolated from one another and the influx of Chinese and South Koreans made short work of a lot of the infected.

James would be an under appreciated tier 3 as his abilities were seen with scorn since others thought he would be a menace to society by perversely using his powers. Eventually this leads James to attain a hatred for humanity and wished to rid humanity of the taint by taking control of the ones he would claim as his. He would later snap and after getting a boost of virus energy he would mimic the parts of infected veins to spread his pheromones across the town.
