Description: Clad in a reinforced leather tunic, boots, leggings, gloves and wool cloak while wielding a large Bowie knife, he stood as a very imposing figure. Leaves, twigs, and other vegetation covered his clothing, acting like camouflage. A thick dark beard covers most of his weather-worn face, while coal black hair cascaded to his jaw line. His brown eyes betrayed an intelligent and civilized demeanor, despite his appearance, along with an abundance of experience for his relatively young age.
MENTALITY
Quirks: Doesn’t like technology
Fears:Crowded and/or enclosed places.
Likes: Being in the wilderness, killing Orocs, and a good deer haunch.
Dislikes: Has a fiery hatred towards Orocs
Personality: John, despite first appearances, is a very caring person. He is willing to help complete strangers in need. However, he is also a loner and does not work well with others. Being a bit eccentric from living in isolation for so many years, he may be a bit hard to understand. He tries to live a relatively simple, down-to-earth life.
When the time comes, John can be cold and calculating, especially when it comes to dealing with Orocs. He is willing to stalk one for days if it means discovering one of its weaknesses or even getting a chance to kill it. His greatest motivations are survival and vengeance.

HISTORY
Life:
• Martial Status: Widower
• Family: Deceased
• History: John was born into a farming family almost three decades ago. He lived in relative peace with his three brothers, two sisters, and parents growing a subsistence crop until he married a young beautiful woman when he was nineteen. However, just a year after they had their first child, a band of Orocs attacked their home. John was away working the fields at the time, and returned to the bloodied, half-eaten bodies of his family and his home in a charred ruin. In tears he burned the remains of his family and gathered what clothes, food, and supplies (including his older brother’s Bowie knife) and fled into the wilderness. Since then he has lived as a hermit, constantly moving to avoid being discovered by bandits and Orocs, hunting and gathering food, learning his to survive in the wild, and watching the Orocs from afar – plotting his revenge.
