James Rodney Felton

James Rodney Felton is a thirty-two year old African American and Coast Guard veteran who hails from New Orleans, Louisiana. Raised in a strict yet responsive Roman Catholic household, Felton has grown up to generally see life as what he makes the most of without falling too deep into the darkness that the world may possess. He is one of the protagonists of the Newcomer Arc of Welcome to Cedarcrest.

Born on the 17th of May, 1967, Felton was raised by his father, Colton A. Felton, to be the ideal son after gracing his parents as their only child. Although he was average in his grades throughout his primary and secondary education, Felton's commitment to maintaining physical and mental health through sports and teachings by his father allowed him enough of a confidence to join the United States Coast guard when he had turned eighteen years old. Four years of active duty from 1985 to 1989 would precede a following four years of reserve duty at the tail-end of 1989 to 1993.

Finishing his total service with the rank of Petty Officer Third Class, his technical skills in maintaining essential infrastructure on service vessels easily translated to James opening up his own small-time boat repair business following his settlement as a civilian in New Orleans. For the next six years, James would steadily accrue and invest his money into the newfound business as he sought out new relationships and connections across the city.

However, near the end of 1998, James received news from a fellow veteran of the Coast Guard and his active-duty friend, David Hiers, that the man had settled in a rural portion of New York and asked of James to come along and view the property - and to maybe get a taste of this rather rustic life, which juxtaposed the urban life that James currently lived in New Orleans. Agreeing to this, James would take leave from his own business as he started what was intended to be a week-long vacation in Cedarcrest, a humble township nestled within the rural Atkins County. Unbeknownst to the man, he would gradually begin to find himself in a web of the abnormal and the unknown that radiated forth from that very town, only now coming to light.
