Physical description:
John is about six foot five, and is the very definition of a beanpole. Once he could be called wiry, but since his retirement he has lost his former muscle tone and become, as the Eleventh Doctor would say, "proper skinny". His apparent age is deceptive, as he looks to be in his early twenties until you look into his eyes, which have seen centuries of joy and madness alike. He has a handsome face with short dirty-blonde hair and strange golden eyes that almost seem to glow faintly when in shadow, and skin that is surprisingly white for someone that has spent most of his life in a scorching desert. He always appears wearing red and gold, whether that means simply wearing a red t-shirt and a gold ring on his hand, a bright red suit with a golden tie, or in times of dire danger, his old suit of golden armor and crimson cloak.

Personality:
John has always been the jovial sort, the first to crack a joke and the first to laugh at situations many would not deem humorous, though this has been dulled somewhat by time and recent circumstances. He is clever, able to see things differently than most, an attribute that has enabled him to find solutions few others would have thought of. John is much older than he appears, and sometimes (more and more often, as of late) one can see that he is tired, in his bones and in his soul. Tired of war, of chaos, tired of fighting. But John will always be a hero at heart, unable to resist the call when someone, whether he knows them or not, is in danger. He has an open heart, and is quick to make friends, and even quicker to rain down retribution on those who hurt those friends. While no longer the nigh-unstoppable force of magic he once was, he can fall victim to the sin of pride, a fault he recognizes and seeks to change. John is a man of faith, and believes strongly in both God and his friends, always certain that in the end, no matter how bad it gets, everything will turn out for the better.

Equipment and Abilities:
Once nearly godlike in his power, in order to save his world one last time, he gave that power up. For a while, he believed his power to be gone entirely. Recently, he discovered his power was not as completely gone as he supposed. John's powers are magical in nature, though certain of his more scientific-minded friends have described it as "possessing a connection to an interdimensional energy field that enables limited manipulation of reality". He can conjure items from nothing, generate blasts of pure magical energy, create force fields, teleport, enhance his physical capabilities, and control natural elements, though on a much smaller scale than he once could. What makes him special however is his ability to breach the boundaries of universes and walk between them, with his many travels between universes giving him the title of "Adventurer". How he has recovered this small fraction of his magical power is a mystery to him, but it is a mystery that he is determined to solve.

Historical Background:
John is from Earth, specifically Earth Prime, the first and central earth, a world where science is the predominant force, while magic is a thing known only in the distant past through ancient myths and legends, where superhumans, aliens, sentient machines, and other fantastical things are only known in fiction. However, John was different. John was special. John was just a child when he first came into contact with magic. He was on an elementary school field trip when he met a tiny woman, glowing with multicolored lights and born aloft by tiny butterfly-like wings, who none of the other children could see. Dubbing the creature Pixie, they quickly became friends, and Pixie taught him how to open his mind to the hidden realms of magic. This was all a wonderful game at first, but when the rulers of the magical realms learned that a human walked their world for the first time in centuries, they took notice. John found himself the center of a magical war before finishing elementary school, temporarily becoming the champion of the Faerie Queen of Spring. He grew up quickly in this time, facing evil at a much younger age than any should, quickly becoming a master of magic. He lived a double life, switching between battling magical creatures and traveling through mystical realms to going to school at his home in Las Vegas.

Eventually John became his own master, leaving the employ of the Queen of Spring and using his growing power to proclaim himself apart from any faction, and no longer a tool to be used. Years passed, and he learned new ways to use his magic, until he discovered a way to open a portal to a different universe entirely. He found himself in a universe so unlike his own, an earth where magic was common, and magical beings roamed the world freely. There he fell in love with the queen of the land, a beautiful sorceress that had once feared her power. Together they defeated many threats to their home, from demons of fear and shadow to scheming princes, until John was forced to leave to repair the damage his tearing of the dimensional fabric had caused. He later learned to safely traverse the worlds, and returned to his love, as well as going on many wild adventures across countless universes, making friends and enemies along the way and earning the title of the Adventurer. Over the course of years he saved his own universe on several occasions, as well as various others, and gained the title of Godslayer by slaying all of the pagan deities of his world.

Then, something changed. The universe was threatened again, this time by something that not even John's great power could stop. In his travels he had become more and more powerful as he absorbed magic from each universe he visited, as well as power from the mysterious Void between universes. He had become an Anomaly, one so powerful that it was tearing his world apart. The only way to save his world was to give up his power willingly, which would mean leaving the love of his wife forever, as well as their two children. But what other choice did he have? So he gave up his power and returned to an ordinary life, without magic, without adventure, and without his love. Then, one day, he felt a spark. Just the tiniest bit of magic returned to him. Not enough to return to the woman he loved, not by far, but enough for him to go back out into the Multiverse and uncover this new mystery. And maybe, just maybe, he can find a way to get more power, enough to return to the world he left behind.
