Jameson “James” Pangilinan is the eldest child of the family and a charismatic young man in his late teens. With short, straight black hair, warm brown eyes, and a fair complexion, he carries a natural charm that makes him effortlessly handsome. Standing fairly tall with a lean build, James is the lead vocalist of Kaleidoscope, his school’s boyband. His bandmates—Ezra and Apollo on guitar, Kai on keyboard, and Rowan on drums—are more than just fellow musicians; they’re his brothers-in-music.

At home, James plays the role of peacemaker between his brothers: the strict and pragmatic Benjamin and the mischievous troublemaker Michael. While Benjamin is all about discipline and rules, Michael thrives on chaos, leaving James to strike a balance between them.

Style comes naturally to James. He’s always on top of trends, knowing exactly what to wear and how to carry himself with cool confidence. Kaleidoscope, his band, takes its name from the iconic song by Filipino rapper Francis Magalona, symbolizing a vibrant mix of patterns and colors. Among his bandmates, Ezra exudes a guy-next-door charm, Apollo is the dependable big brother, Kai is the intelligent yet perpetually worried one, and Rowan—always drawn to the paranormal—frequently lands himself in bizarre situations.

James followed, strumming his guitar as an orange musical staff coiled around him. As he spun, cyan, magenta, and yellow music notes danced around him, popping with sound. With a final turn, the orange musical staff briefly flashed, and when it dimmed, Oppa Rockstar (James) emerged – an eccentric K-pop idol in a matching white-gray outfit, with a polished butterscotch guitar strapped to his back.

James, for all his charms, is an unwitting ladies’ man—a natural chick magnet. Whenever he takes the stage with Kaleidoscope, fangirls scream at the top of their lungs: “OPPA!!!” His striking resemblance to K-pop idols, despite being fully Filipino, only fuels their admiration. He’s used to the attention, though it once led to the breakup between him and his high-maintenance ex-girlfriend when a fangirl got a little too involved.

But romance isn’t just about the screaming fans. One day, James meets a dorky florist in a flower shop and, intrigued by her deep knowledge of flowers and roses, asks her to be his love guru. He figures that if anyone understands the language of love, it’s someone surrounded by roses. One day, he’s convinced, he’ll have a supermodel for a girlfriend.

James’ personal motto? “It takes two to tango.” Sociable and effortlessly amiable, he’s the ultimate nice guy, gifted in the art of diplomacy. He genuinely believes in fairness, compromise, and seeing things from all angles to make balanced decisions. However, his tendency to weigh every perspective sometimes leaves him indecisive. Above all, James values harmony—both within himself and in his relationships. To him, beauty is balance, proportion, and grace.

Three years ago, during a fateful game of The Star of Vis, James was struck by the Orange Luminary, bestowing him with the alter-ego of Oppa Rockstar—the very character he chose from the board. As Oppa Rockstar, James transforms into an eccentric, high-energy K-pop idol with dazzling musical powers. His abilities include:

• Striking with solid music notes from his guitar
• Weaving mesmerizing illusions through melodies
• Throwing concert glowsticks like daggers
• Releasing lucky clover leaves to influence fate
• Controlling floating spotlights that double as colorful blasters
• Summoning a full concert stage for dramatic, show-stopping battles!

James is a performer at heart, whether he’s mediating conflicts at home, charming an audience, or battling with the power of music. With his magnetic presence and rockstar charisma, he’s always ready to take center stage.
