Personality:At first glance John is a carefree person who loves to experiment with all kinds of stuff: drugs, music genres, hair styles and colors, computer parts and other technological assemblies... He is pretty out-going and likes telling stories, part of which is big talk. He is not afraid to speak his mind about a lot of subjects, that is, unless when things get personal. That's when you get to the secretive and serious side of him. Since people have misused his openness in the past, he has learned himself to not give away too much personal information. Even his close friends don't know too much about him. The only person he intends to fully open up with is to that special one he intends to share his life with. Because of this, he has been called to 'have trust issues' by his exes.
Place Of Origin:New Orleans, Louisiana
Biography:John was born as the second and youngest child in a middle-class family. His parents split up when he was still fairly young, his father leaving his mother behind with the kids. (Later he found out his mother had asked for a divorce because his father would often physically abuse her.) The siblings grew very close to each other despite the age gap of four years, and they in turn also grew very close to their mom.
Except for the family situation, John's childhood was overall pretty average. It was in his teens that he became a bit of a problematic child. Getting in touch with what his mom would call "the wrong kind of people", he started to sneak out at night, tried smoking and drinking at an early age, and experiment with narcotics.
Things took a turn for the worse when his mother fell ill with what turned out to be breast cancer. After some more research, the doctors found out it was the aggressive type; his mother had only a few years left to live... The terrible news hit the small family hard, but John's mom decided to make the best of the situation, living each day as if it could be her last. The three of them spend a lot of time together, going on trips when their mother's health allowed it.
After her inevitable death, John grew more serious, greatly affected by the events. She had left the children with a small fortune, but not enough to support them on the long run. His sister Sophie took John into custody and together they moved to Miami, where Sophie opened up a hairdressing salon.
With the salon growing to be one of the better ones in the city, and with John's school grades improving each year, their future is starting to look a little brighter.
Extra:The Bridge (Bron/Broen) is one of my current favorites.
