Appearance
John is a tall and lean young man. He has black hair and white streaks that are slicked to the right side of his face and slight facial hair. John's attire consists of black trousers long sleeve collar shirt partially covered with a dark color waistcoat that is left open. He also wears a black glove on his right hand.

Personality
He comes over as a person with a lot of personal problems to the kids, he seems to be a rather simple person who doesn't value having comrades around him because they are all dead weight to him.

It is a possibility that he has a multiple personality disorder because he began to speak to himself, calling names like his own and 'Lucas' and this theory was later strengthened when Ivet and Anna discovered his room where they saw that a lot of names were written on the walls, implying that he has gone crazy over the past years.

History
Around thirteen years ago, John escaped from the Glory Bell orphanage with several other orphans. They then took Shelter in an underground Shelter where they started a new life.

Search for Minerva Arc
John was first seen greeting the Grace Field escapees when they arrived at the shelter. After explaining to kids what the house has to offer and where he came from, telling them he escaped from another orphanage called Glory Bell thirteen years ago with his comrades, who all died because they were weak-minded and believed in friendship, which disgusts John, He then proceeded to tell the kids that they can't stay at the Shelter because John won't be sharing his home with them, this resulted in heavy protest by the Children, angering John even more. He then threatens to kill Emma with his gun if the children don't give him the Promised Pen and leave the shelter.

Emma then slammed John in his cross, giving her a chance to escape. John then tried to shoot Emma but missed on purpose because in fact he has never killed anybody before and doesn't want to do so. He then experiences a mental breakdown, calling random names, before collapsing on the table. He was soon after tied up by the Children but managed to escape by cutting the rope with a hidden knife.undefined He then proceeded to pursue the children, only to be greeted by Emmaundefined who wants to involve him in her plan to search for point A08-63. Emma approaches John in a friendly matter, asking him for his name which he refuses to tell them while handing him over a bowl of soup. Emma then takes a more serious note and begins the negotiations, asking John to be their guide and bodyguard in their search for William Minerva. John feels nothing for the offer and laughs it off, calling Emma and the other children a bunch of suckers. He tells them to leave the shelter, Emma proceeds to say that all of the children will leave the shelter once they found William Minerva. John, getting pissed off points his knife at Emma, threatening to kill her if they don't leave. Ray then points John's gun at him, not to kill but to return the weapon to its rightful owner, surprising him. Ray then shows an igniter to John, startling him. He then tells him that it took some while to fix it but that the self-destruct system of the shelter is online once again. Emma then gives the man two options: Making a deal with the children or to ignore the offer, resulting in the self-destruction of the shelter, giving John no other option than to agree with the children's offer. In the following days, John tried to learn the children some rules while threatening them to kill them if they were to break any of the rules. This resulted in Alicia threatening to break John's precious teacup, leaving him in shock. He tried to avoid the children by staying in his room, but this did not work out when Emma came in who came to ask him some question such as: 'What is a poacher?' but John once again refused to give her any answers, claiming it all to be a secret.

After the questions he walked to the living room, asking Emma to follow him and bring Ray. In the living room, he opened a secret door behind the piano, shocking Emma, Ray, and Nat. The secret room behind the piano turned out to be a large armory. After giving the children the change to grab some guns, Emma, Ray, and John began their journey the next day in search for William Minerva, but before they could departure John was told by Gilda to bring both of the children back home alive, threatening him to blow up the entire shelter if even one of them ended up death. With that in mind, the trio began their search for William Minerva.

Gun Shooting
He is quite good with a pistol, shooting a bullet into the wall right next to Emma on purpose, only missing her by a few inches.

Survival Skills
He managed to survive for thirteen years on his own inside the shelter, growing his own vegetables for example. But he is also capable of survival outside the shelter while hunting for animals, looking for fruit and in fights against any threats.

William Minerva
He thinks of William Minerva as a big liar because he never showed up at the Shelter.

Grace Field Escapees
The relationship between John and the children was from the start hostile and unfriendly. John even threatened to kill Emma if he kids didn't hand over the Pen and leave.

After being forced to work together with the children, he began to call them by several nicknames such as Emma: Antenna, Ray: Sleepyhead, Don: Bean Head, Gilda: Prissy Four-Eyes, Nat: Nose, Thoma: Curry Chow, Lani: Pizza Topping, Anna: Babysitter, Alicia: Hair Ball, Mark: Cookie, and Ivet: Shaggy.
