Distinct Markings
Johnny has no scars that are large or noticable enough to bother mentioning. Just the odd mark or two from the rough activities (fighting, climbing, etc.) during childhood. He doesn't have any piercings either as he's not too fond of them. John has a small tattoo at the back of his neck which is three stars in arranged around each other. He doesn't like to talk about it and if people notice he'll flush and tell them its nothing.

Appearance
Johnny has fluffy, light brown hair that is usually pulled back from his forehead. His eyes are a little darker, but are still brown. His complexion is fair, though slightly pale during the colder months. He has a fairly muscular body, but nothing particularly special. He doesn't like to boast about it. He stands at around 6'0".

Likes
- A calm atmosphere.
- Romantic novels.
- Beautiful women.
- Long walks

Dislikes
- Ugly personalities.
- Chaos and destruction.
- Anything/anyone that will attempt to threaten, blackmail or intimidate him.

Secrets
Again, Johnny has nothing major worth mentioning here, apart from the occasional lie he told during childhood. For example; "The dog did it", "I didn't hit him", "I don't know where the money went", "I didn't touch the chocolate in the fridge". Just stupid things like that.


Personality
Johnny is generally just a very average man. He is calm and will attempt his very best not to snap and lose his temper with the people that are close to him. Like most men, he can become very attached to the prettier females, despite their personality or background. If they're hot, they're worth the struggle. He doesn't handle rejection all too well. He's not particularly emotional but he still shows basic emotions.

On the rare occasion that Johnny enjoys a drink or two, his drunken self can become violent. He does not think to hold his tongue around people, being very straight-forward and honest. Usually he has no control over his body and can be very weak whilst like this. This is one of the main reasons he doesn't allow himself alcohol.

He often doesn't show that he cares about people, so he seems a bit distant at first, but after a while he will become nicer to talk to and more approachable.

History
Johnny had an average childhood. He grew up in California with his mother and father. He was a rough child, so he would often come home with bruises and cuts from climbing and fighting with other boys. He wasn't much different as a teenager, although he was a bit calmer about certain things. Nobody in his school would dare start fights with him though. They also weren't quick to invite him to parties because of how he can be after drinking.

Throughout his life he has had many women in his bed, but none he's actually been able to say that he loved, or even liked for that matter. They'd be gone the morning after so he didn't really care about becoming attached to them. He never thought about 'falling in love' before. Love would've just tied him down and he didn't want that in life. And so he remained alone for the majority of his teen and adult life.

When he reached the age of twenty, his mother passed away. He was gutted but his father didn't seem to care. Johnny wasn't surprised. They'd been distant for so many years that all the love between them had just faded away into nothing. He moved to Paris soon after and has lived there for exactly two years, attending college and basically just making a life for himself.



Theme Song
Run||Snow Patrol
"I'll sing it one last time for you
then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear"

So begins...

Johnathan had spent most of the morning nodding along to conversations that didn't really concern him all too much. Occasionally a friend or acquaintance would approach and for a brief moment or two he would have a decent conversation, but soon enough they would wander off on their own and he found himself lingering around the bar, blankly staring at the selection of alcohol on offer. He felt guilty just looking at them. The bottles called for him and he ran his tongue over his teeth, he could almost taste the sweet liquid running down his throat.

"Are you waiting to be served?" the man behind the counter asked, gesturing to the drinks that Johnathan had been eyeing up for the past twenty minutes or so. "No. I was just leaving," he replied, taking his weight off the counter so that he could keep a straight posture. "Thanks". They both exchanged glances, before Johnathan turned to exit.

The cold breeze of the outside world hit him like a brick, and he shoved his hands into his pockets and brought his shoulders up, releasing a shakey breath that caused a mist to cloud his vision briefly. He had no specific destination in mind, but simply just walking through the streets of Paris was nice. Peaceful, even.

He took a turn into an alley way, and when he had emerged from it he was greeted by the salty air of the seafront. He padded along the hot sand, shoes and socks in hand. His eyes followed the movements of families and children digging holes, seemingly competing with one another. He released a deep chuckle and shook his head, memories of himself being a child entering his mind. He thought of when his own mother had taken him to the beach, she had been so kind and patient with him. Wandering closer to the water, Jonathan slipped off his shoes and socks and placed them just out of reach of the water. He dipped his toe in the water and found it to be pleasantly cold. He grinned and then with out another thought he hiked up his pant legs and stepped into the water. He let out a growl against the cold of the water and walked in up to his shins.

He felt better now that he was away from temptation. The fresh air and cold water helped to clear his mind. He breathed in deeply and closed his eyes for a moment.
