James Valharen

James Valharen is a DLC character in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita, originating from Clouds of Judgement. Initially a proud, happy person, James has since degraded into a paranoid, solitary figure after obtaining his Deus and becoming hunted down by his own country. With all of his friends dead (by his hand, literally) and every Arreglasser police station gunning for him, he has given up hope of a peaceful, justice-filled life, and openly renounces any form of righteousness.

Appearance
James wears a ragged, modified Arreglaser Police uniform under a dark brown trench coat. The uniform consists of white boots, brown pants, and a white long-sleeve tunic fixed by a black belt and blue sleeve. On James, the boots are stained a permanent mud brown, and the patch on his tunic that represents his unit is ripped out to expose his black undershirt.

Battle
 James Valharen  Chronoknight - Uses buffs to strengthen himself and ravage enemies.

James is a very experienced Chronoknight who uses his Time Magic in order to buff himself. Most of his moves affect only him and make him a very good offensive fighter, but he has very low health and some of the worst defense in the game, making him a glass cannon of sorts. Most of his time-oriented attacks have extremely quick output but last for a short time, making them easy for him to use in the middle of combos to speed himself up and extend combos. Mastery of this system can give him a very high offensive potential and even circumnavigate past his abyssal defense - how much does defense matter if you're too quick for the enemy to hit?

EX Mode
James' EX Mode is Exposing the World's Truths. His tonfas are permanently surrounded in a crystalline aura and his coat is now frayed and torn, as well as flowing behind him as if wind blew at him. He gains the abilities "Regen" and "Quick", which cancels out most of the recovery frames of his attacks, allowing him to chain attacks almost instantly after another.

James' EX Burst is Summon Shinryu. He attacks the enemy with his tonfas twice before kicking them into the air as time freezes. Shinryu emerges from his prosthetic hand and flies around the enemy as James concentrates his magical energies. The player must hold a random button while a bar rises to 25%, then another button as it goes to 50%, and so on until the bar safely reaches 100%. If the bar gets to its destination successfully, Shinryu slashes the enemy and freezes them in crystal as James casts Meteorja on the enemy. If the player fails, James simply jumps and attacks the enemy as Shinryu bites them.

Story Specific

 * James: "Who are you? Why do you keep following me everywhere? What, you thought I didn't notice?"
 * Iocus: "The woodpecker thinks he can chop down a tree...The splash thinks it can erode a mountain."
 * James: "What did you call me? Why don't you take that mask off and show me just who's the woodpecker?"
 * Iocus: "...I tell my soul to wait without hope, for hope for you would be hope for the wrong thing. You see, young one, you're edging very close to power, yet you believe you have all the power in the world. You can change nothing. This I know."
 * James: "You don't know anything about me! Just...Just leave me alone."

Iocus summons Verthandi.


 * James: "A...A Deus? Wha...Just what the hell are you?!"
 * Iocus: "If you do not come too close, if you do not come too close, you're see there is a time for living and for generation; a time for the wind to break the loosened pane. Young one, my beginning is my end. I am here, or there. Or elsewhere. Hmhmhm..."
