Fanon:James Finnegan

Biography
James was born on May 25, the only child of Ray and Emma Finnegan. Like Ally, he led a pretty much ordinary life up until he started college. During his freshman year Emma died suddenly of illness, causing a rift between James and his father. The two never really got along. The two became estranged until Ray's death five years later. Then a year after getting out of college, James and a friend were trapped in a house fire. Just when the end was near, a fellow firefighter saved his life. Unfortunately the friend did not survive and continues to haunt the empty house.

Life in The Sims
After a few years of partying and whatever, James decides to finally settle down and focus on his future. At first he aimed for a career in business. But the career was too boring for him so he quit. Not long after he discovered that he had a talent for painting and playing the piano so he decided to take a job in entertainment. As for his social life, he's very social and friends with many Sims of all ages.

At one point he dated Audree Cardova for a while. Things got complicated between them, especially when he found out that she was seeing others behind his back. He and Audree remained friends for a short while, until Audree got herself tanged in other problems with Bill and Matt. James decided to keep a safe distance from her.

Later, James became discontented with his job. He loved being an entertainer but felt that it wasn't enough. Maybe there was more to life than parties. After missing a week of work, James was fired. During that time, James decided to take some classes at the community college. He became interested in psychology and eventually attended school full time. He took an accelerated program and graduated within a few years with a degree.

Epilogue
