Profile
John is... well John. Although mostly human looking, John is one of the many mutants that originated from the people who were experimented on when Ectoplasm was first discovered. After a long, bloody war between humans and mutants and the Ectoplasm that now freely leaks into the living plane of existance, the world is in a pretty bad state. John has spent a lot of his adult life ignoring all of that history and cryptid stuff, until two lost wannabe ghost hunters thrust him back into the life he tried to hide from.
Now he's stuck with Sammy and Gabbie, two young students from Chickadee left with no where to go and determined to find a cure for the demonic corruption taking hold of the land. John sticks around mostly because he'd rather not see these two kids hurt, but also because he feels the need to help stop the plague and reseal the horseman of pestilence responsible for the carnage.
After all, it is his duty to reseal the spirit he let loose in the first place.
John can come off as a complete jerk and is pretty irritable. He is usually closed off to most people and doesn't trust others very much and is generally pretty aloof. He can also be very aggressive when angry or just emotional in general. It takes a long time for him to start liking and opening up to someone due to... some unfortunate past experiences. He is quite stubborn and is hard to persuade him to do something that he doesn't want to do. He has some problems separating what's right and what's wrong, and is pretty neutral in most situations. He just does what he can to survive.

Originally created to see how powerful of a monster could be created for the Wineblood army, John is a mutant of rather high pedigree. The whole "living weapon" think kinda fell through and now he's over on the other side of the world being dragged along on a quest to save the world from what is essentially rabies but worse. Oh so much worse.
John is only one of two Darkbloods who were successfully created. He did not have an even remotely good childhood, and spent nearly all of his time being monitored and tested on. His mother was uncaring and saw him only as another experiment to poke and prod at, and his father was non-existant and was probably killed shortly after John's birth on account of being a Blackblood. Many nights were spent lonely and hungry.
At about 16 is when the whole being created as a living weapon was getting... pretty bad. John was forced to constantly be pushed to his limits so his own mother could keep note and soon begin training to become the super soldier the Mutants wanted. Refusal to cooperate came with painful consequences. During one of the few times he was allowed to have his own time, he came across a mysterious tome being held in the facility. It called to him. It compelled him to pick it up... to open it. And he did. And was in turn possessed by the ghost sealed within.
This ghost that possessed John, a very infamous entity known as Nosoi, did make his powers much stronger, which pleased the researchers who had yet to detect what had happened. It also made John's bloodlust and hunger for fresh meat much, much more powerful. He wasn't entirely in control during one of the human's and his conversations, and he kind of... snapped. He came to with blood everywhere, a portion of broken metal bar stuck in his left eye, and human blood around his mouth. And his friend's corpse sitting infront of him with his throat torn out. Nosoi had taken full control, and in the process killed his friend and several other mutants, including his mother. John was just... numb. He trashed Nosoi's tome and escaped the facility, and lived the next few years wandering around the Wilderness fighting raccoons for the tastiest looking trash and rotting carcasses.
Of course, after several years he met Sammy and Gabbie, and was dragged along on their journy to stop Nosoi and the person who got ahold of her. John says he's just looking out for these dumb kids. What he really wants is a chance to redeem himself for unleashing Nosoi in the first place, even if it comes at the cost of his own life.

- Slit pupils and sharp teeth. Left canine sticks out.
- When spiked up, his hair occassionally looks vaguely like devil horns.
- Blood is a very deep, almost black, purple. It is also very thick and slimy.
- His eyes have a bit of a purple hue to them.
- High amount of ectoplasm in body compared to other mutants, causing blood and spit to be acidic enough to give some pretty serious chemical burns to others, comparable to battery acid. John himself has a high natural resistence to the stuff, so he isn't bothered by it too much.
- He likes to chew on stuff when he's bored or nervous. Especially bones.
- Despite not at all having a license, he is the designated driver of the group. This is a horrible idea.
- John used to belong to one of my IRL friends as a side character in their own story. Said IRL friend gave John to me and i was the one who made his design/personality/story. IRL friend gave him to me because John was going to die in the og story. Unfortunately for John, he still dies in the end.
