Canon
I wish it were as simple as that. His canon expands over a bajillion books, starting with Ian Fleming's, which inspired over twenty films (the series is at twenty-two now) from Albert Broccoli's EON Production, as well as a handful of other "unofficial" films.
Character
James Bond is either immortal or a Time Lord. What is certain is that he is not human, though Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig (and this character's mun) mistakenly believe so. He works amongst mere mortals as a secret agent for the MI6, British Intelligence, and has done so since 1952. He is prone to one-night stands, gadgets, and explosions.
Sean Connery
A hairy beast of a man who is for many, perhaps most, teh Best Bond Evair. The quintessential 1960's playboy, this Bond romps without consequence through a world of increasing excess and exorbitant luxury. His rampant misogyny is matched only by his slap-happy successor Roger Moore. Despite that this Bond seems in all appearances to be calm, cool, and collected, with an inexplicable encyclopedia for a brain, there lies beneath this cool exterior animalistic aggression, perhaps a little bit of sociopathy, and the emo that lies at the heart of all. He mostly doesn't like it when people kill his friends or hurt innocent women--though it is, of course, perfectly all right for him to treat these same women any way he pleases. His sense of humor leans heavily on puns. Because of his privilege of being the first Bond, and therefore the one to garner the series' first batch of millions, he is the one to set the standard for all Bonds after, despite that he increasingly bears little resemblance to the Bond of the books. By the time this Bond was set to be retired, no really, he's never coming back again except for in the 1980's, he had created his own special brand of James Bond: the cinematic Bond, the one people know best.
George Lazenby
People tend to forget about George Lazenby's Bond; however, he exists, and clearly got the worst deal than all the other fellas. He threatened to quit, then up and fell in love, got married to Emma Peel (I mean, Tracy Draco), and promptly became a widow. His life sucks. He said so in the movie.
Roger Moore
He did it for the lulz. It is very rare when he engages in the srs bizness. When he does, he usually recovers by engaging in more lulz. He doesn't take many things seriously, breezing through life as the gentleman playboy spy version of Buster Keaton. Despite his overwhelming irreverence, he tends to be very rough with the womens, though really, this isn't a problem, as the actress playing Octopussy dismissed Roger Moore's Bond bursting into her room for questionably consented sex as "not very nice."
Timothy Dalton
IZ SRS BIZNESS.
This Bond probably would not know fun if it was a big ass bird and flew smack into his face, though he is capable of enjoying things like fairs and exacting revenge. Like his literary counterpart, who he arguably resembles the most, this Bond has a bad habit of falling in love very quickly and with little reason. He was probably being stalked by Georgi Koskov, but who can blame General Koskov when Timothy Dalton is so handsome?
(Not to be mistaken for Simon Skinner.)
Pierce Brosnan
So hot the mun wants to slap his mama.
This Bond exists somewhere between the Roger Moore extremes of irreverence and the Timothy Dalton/Daniel Craig/George Lazenby extremes of woe. Unlike the Dalton, Craig or Lazenby Bonds, the Brosnan Bond does not handle his woe in a way that makes people want to hug him, but in a way that makes people very concerned for his liver. This Bond is very, very fond of his gadgets, the way a gamer might be of his or her game system. He is most likely to accidentally blow something up because of this. His women generally tend to be the types who could kill him when he is or is not looking.
Daniel Craig
Cranky, irritable, and possibly in need of Midol. Tends to be the default James Bond played/written by this mun due to having watched his canon more than most Bonds and being by far more respectable to the general consensus of Bond fans than the mun's imaginary boyfriend, Timothy Dalton.
