all about
you.
you.
PERSONALITY » John is, to put it simply, a simple guy. He gets angry when things annoy him, and when he’s enjoying himself he’ll smile and let people know. He doesn’t exactly wear his heart on his sleeve but he doesn’t spend all of his time trying to hide his feelings from everyone either. If he’s pissed off at you, he’ll tell you. Generally however, John is a pretty happy go lucky sorta guy. He lives his life day to day, and deals with things as they come. He refuses to dwell on the past as he believes nothing good will ever come of it, and instead lives each day as if it might be his last – and for good reason too.
John is the sort of guy you wish would have taken you to the prom rather than the douche you went with – the guy who’d rather take you home to meet his dad before his bed. Good hearted, pleasant natured, he’s easy to get on with and nice to be around. However, perhaps somewhat contradictory to his leaves things in the past motto, if you hurt him or his, he will get his own back. He keeps his promises, and his word is his oath; and perhaps his greatest oath at the moment is the one he made to Norah.

HISTORY » Sasha Johns was born to Mary Smith on the fourth of July, whilst her long term boyfriend and fiancé Evyn fought the fires spread by that years fireworks deep into the night. For the first two years of sasha’s life, he grew in a typical family. His parents were engaged, saving for their perfect wedding, his father working as a fire-fighter whilst his mother ran the family home and looked after their son. This, however, seemed to become too monotonous, too boring for the estranged housewife, and on the 3rd of December Evyn returned home to find his son, alone, and crying in his cot. His fiancé had left him with nothing but a son, and the ring he had proposed to her with.
For as long as John could remember, it was always him and his dad. They played football together, watched matches together, and when his father worked he was looked after by a college student named Eve. As far as John new, this was how family’s worked, and he was more than content with hi lot in life. He was a happy child, who saw his father as a superhero. And thus from this grew the child’s longing to be just like dad, to be a hero himself and help people.
He worked hard in school and stayed out of trouble, joining the track team and running his way into a full ride at the local university. Everything seemed to be going perfectly, and in the fall John started his first semester of pre-med, whilst his father cried at graduation, and showed up to cheer his races from the stands.
Whilst at college, John met Ellie, a fellow track star who was studying history. A year older than him, the two became quick friends, and quite without realising, John one day woke to find himself falling for the tall brunette. After returning home for Christmas, and talking to his dad, John decided to ask Ellie out and pick up the phone.
His sweaty palms and racing heart however soon turned out to be nothing more than un-needed nerves, for the girl answered yes before he had ever finished asking. For john, those holidays could not end fast enough, the next semester could not begin too soon. But John met nothing but heartache and disappointment on his return – Ellie appeared to have dropped out, and no longer answered his phone calls.
John however, being john, could not leave it alone, and he began to worry when it turned out that Ellie’s friends had not heard from her, nor had the college actually been notified that she was dropping out – she simply hadn’t shown up. One night, after spending another three hours reaching no one but the answer machine on her phone, he got in his truck and drove to her house. He was not prepared for what he found.
She was gone. She was dead. Murdered in her bed whilst she slept – the house still reeked of the blood and carnage of the weeks before, the entire family slaughtered in the chaos of a single night. The police said it was an animal attack, but john didn’t believe them. There was no animal that could have done this.
And so John researched. He spent endless hours in the library, pouring over texts about animals... and eventually the occult. But he wasn’t the only one looking into the mysterious deaths. A hunter, breaking into the library late one night found john pouring over the very text he was looking for. Assumptions were made, threats exchanged... and john found himself on his very first hunt, going after the werewolf that had murdered the girl he might very well of loved. What, however, he wasn’t expecting, was the thrill that accompanied the hunt... nor the guilt that came with the firing of that single shot into the beast’s heart.
Unable to concentrate on his studies any longer, John dropped out of college and went with the hunter from the library, spending the next fives years learning from him, and fulfilling his childhood dream in a way he had never even dreamed off. Saving people from the monsters under the bed, the shadows that went bump in the night.
For John, hunting has become an addiction that he cannot escape. He is constantly working, earning money by doing odd jobs, handy man jobs as he travels, maintaining just enough money to keep the gas in his truck and the clothes on his back. Now however, he has found a new addiction, one that started with a fluke phone call from woman in trouble.
