At present John still holds some of his old as well as more modern ideals however after spending some time with his natural counterparts (humans), he has become much more open and loving towards people, generally trying to avoid conflict and help out the needy. In short, John is haunted by two different personalities however the dominant one tends to be the one that possesses reason and love rather than hatred and vengeance.
Special Skills
- Pain nullification - While it doesn't stop him taking damage, it does allow John to reduce the pain he experiences to something almost none existent during combat. It's like a double edged sword given that it can lead to him not releasing he should back out because he's dying.
- Master Inventor: John is a extremely resourceful and innovative inventor, combining his scientific knowledge with his transmutation skill to create various powerful weapons and other advanced magic powered machinery.
- Master Marksman: John has outstanding marksmanship in dual wielding his dual revolvers Donner and Schlag to destroy large numbers of powerful enemies in quick succession
Special Abilities
- Transmutation: Put quite simply, a skill which allows John the action of changing the state of another element into another form. Law of equivalent exchange still applies and you cannot create elements out of thin air.
- Lightning Clad – Magic obtained by John throughout his travels to various places. It allows the user to generate lightning in the cells of the body however it is useless beyond being used as a short range taser or as a power source for his weapons.
- Thunder in heaven, great vigor – A trick devised by John during his travels. By using lightning clad to energise the cells of the body, the user is given a brief sudden burst of speed. The user uses a lot of stamina for this move and it doesn't actually affect the users rate of reaction making it dangerous to use and therefore more of a trump card rather than a style of fighting.
- Augmented conditioning - Enhanced physical abilities due to having to replace various body parts with mechanical ones after suffering major injuries from his travels.
Background
John was created by an unknown magician as one of his many homunculi suited to various purposes. Initially Hajime was kept locked up and his magic circuits were used for farming mana however soon enough his master would take interest in him, taking him on board as one of his students and eventually coming close enough to him to treat him as a son. In fear of the boys hate for all living things, John would be banished into the world to experience it for himself and make his own decisions about life. If in two years John was still considered a threat, he would be hunted down and put down for good. During his life as a traveller, John would encounter many magical creatures, good and evil alike, which would result in permanent damage to his body after being attacked by one of them. A large portion of his body has now been replaced by more mechanical parts.
