Personal History:

John Johnson knew he wanted to be a doctor from a young age. His father was a doctor, his uncle was a doctor... one could say it ran through his blood. So John spent most of his life buckling down and getting his work done. He took the time to be averagely social, playing baseball in the spring for his school's team from Middle School through High School. He stopped participating in competitive sports when he left high school, much to the dismay of his couch and fellow players.

Once in college, he hit the books hard. He went out of state to go to Duke University. His life changed drastically. Despite being set on becoming a doctor and staying in the pre-med program, John fell in love with history and literature. He ended up double majoring in History and Biology, with a minor in Global Health. He also managed to get swept up in a young romance with a fellow history major, Jenna Rainsby. Unfortunately, they parted ways as they graduated to pursue post-graduate education.

After four years of Medical School, John got caught up in the desire to do something with his life. Now a licensed medical practitioner, he went to serve with Doctors without Borders for two years. He served in rural parts of Southeast Asia for a few months before being sent to the Middle East for the rest of his time there, aiding victims of the violent conflicts in the region. He had seen the brutality of conflict and had been up to his elbows in viscera more than a few times. When he returned to the states, he gave up on medicine for the time being.

John ended up going to grad school to attain his Masters in History and meet the requirements to become a high school teacher. He then moved back to his hometown to teach at his high school. He was brought on as a member of the History Department, where he happened to run in to his college sweetheart. The two rekindled their relationship, and got married a year and a half later. At the point of the Invasion, John was an assistant coach for the baseball team, an adviser for students looking to pursue a career in medicine, a history teacher who taught the general World History freshman required course and an honors class on Western Civilization, a loving husband, and the father to a boy and a girl.

Personality:

Without a doubt, he is an academic and a father to the very core. He has a tendency to lecture his friends and allies, mostly a byproduct of his role as an educator, adviser, and coach. That being said, Doc is always there for those in need. He manages to make the medicinal supplies he has access to last. He always helps himself last, instead always doing what he can to put the needs or desires of others first. When not fixing up injured Wolverines, he's often reading through what's left of his library collection. The book he keeps going back to, for some reason, is his version of the Complete Works of Shakespeare.

How did you join up with the Wolverines?:

Doc was well known throughout his community. He received an award for his outstanding service to his community before the invasion. Afterwards, he reached out to everyone he possibly could to offer his services as a doctor. It was only a matter of time before the Wolverines reached out to him. The first time he was asked to join, Doc declined to join officially out of fear for his family. He did reach out after the abduction of his family, and was brought into the fold.

Why did you choose to fight?:

One of the biggest consequences to an invasion like the one the Americans are experiencing? People end up imprisoned. Among those who were taken from their homes were Doc's wife and his two children, 7 year-old twins (a boy and a girl). Doc was out on a "house call" after the invasion, trying to check in on some family friends. Losing his family to the North Koreans drove Doc to the brink, willing to aid any efforts to try and get them back. Needless to say, a doctor would be useful in such an effort.
