- Often struggles to maintain eye contact with people, especially if they are strangers to him. Having his emo fringe parted to the side makes it look like that is the reason that he crookedly peers at people, but it is more of a social quirk than a physical obstruction of his vision.
- Volatile — Has issues with a his quick temper and anger management. JD sees a therapist biweekly, is on mood stabilizers, and has intense hobbies to help treat the severity of his disorder.
- Virtuoso — Dixon has inherent, near prodigy levels of talent with stringed instruments. He favors the sound and feel of the viola most, but he can also play the cello, violin, guitar, and bass — in that order of preference.

Music runs in Johnny Dixon’s blood, touching nearly every aspect of his life since long before he was even a twinkle in his parents’ eyes. His grandfather, James Dean Hardy, whom he has inherited the nickname “JD” from, was the guitarist for a rock band called AXIS before he got involved with a woman and a “Maple Syrup Farm” that wasn’t really a maple syrup farm and eventually found himself incarcerated… which is really a story for another day, or never, preferably.
Prior to his misdealings, JD Hardy had a daughter named Regina “Sin” Hardy, who went on to be a famous musician in her own right. Sin started off as the drummer of a band called Twisted Fates where she ended up falling in love with a man that is not Dixon’s father. That came later, after the break up and Sin leaving both the band and her Canadian-born life to start fresh in the United States — specifically Las Angeles, California.
Dixon’s father is a man named Lucas Piccoli. Luke is a proud (very proud) New Jersey-born punk rocker. He too was in a band prior to moving to LA, a band by the name of Detritus, for which he was simultaneously both the lead guitarist and the lead vocalist. Much like it’s namesake, the band amounted to being nothing more than a waste of time and efforts when many of the founding members abandoned their callings in favor of drugs and women. This pissed luke off, so he also uprooted his life in search of greener pastures.
Time and circumstance seemed to work out just right for Lucas and Regina, as they found themselves in LA just as Dominus Records was in search of new talent. It wasn’t just the record company that was scouting, but an established guitarist under the company named Jareth Wells, who was seeking to form his own band as a frontman. And so, the massively popular emo revival band known as Deciduous Dreams came to be, with Jareth on vocals, Lucas on guitar, Sin on drums, and additional members to follow.
Despite past failures when it came to relationships with bandmates, Lucas and Sin began to gravitate towards each other. The pair had a vicious, explosive type of chemistry that lended itself to falling in lust more than falling in love. Lust had consequences, and it wasn’t very long into their “relationship” before Regina found herself knocked up. The prospect of parenthood was terrifying for the both of them… they were young, unmarried, and starting out their new lives with a brand new band that seemed to be going places — and going places fast.
Lucas did the only thing that he could think to do to change one of those three facts. He proposed. They might have acted like what they had wasn’t love, out of fear or denial or whatever internal reasoning they had, but they were in love, and they were having a child. Marriage seemed like the next logical step. That being said… they didn’t get married until a few years later, long enough for Dixon to be the ring bearer in his own parents’ wedding.
Deciduous Dreams made, and continues to make, the band members and the record company a lot of money. In Johnny Dixon’s early years, he was cared for by expensive nannies and wanted for very little while his parents went on tour with the band. As he grew older, being raised by nannies in the absence of his parents began to feel lonely and cold. Dixon proposed that he be able to stay with his friends, Trevor and Riley, whom the frontman of his parents’ band had just recently adopted. The boys were all within four years of each other in age, and they got along quite well in the very frequent times that their parents hung out together.
Remy Wells happily agreed to take care of JD in addition to his own two boys while Jareth, Sin, and Luke travelled with the band. And so, Dixon came to be the honorary younger Wells brother. The three could often be found hanging out in the tree house in the backyard pretending to be pilots, or hunters, or astronauts, or whatever the imaginative career choice of the day was. To this day, the tree house remains sentimental to the trio, and they go there to think or nap or simply to have brotherly conversations.
When JD wasn’t spending time with the Wells, it was likely because his parents were home. Being an unproclaimed mama’s boy, Dixon is happiest when his parents are around. It’s not that he doesn’t support his parents’ career choices, he is actually very fond of the fact that both of his parents are rockstars, and looks the most like the child of a rockstar out of the entire bunch that attend BHHS. He just… really misses them when they are gone, that's all. Remy Wells and Troy Lyon are both like fathers to JD, but they aren’t nearly as cool as his real father, or his mom! Dixon idolizes his parents as much as he loves them, and takes after them in many ways. His style, his talents, his height, and even his volatile temperament are all an equally blended combination of Lucas and Regina, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
