Johnny Jaqobis

Appearance
John is about six feet tall, with short, dark blonde hair. He's athletic with light blue eyes and fair skin. John has a light stubble across his chin and upper lip. He prefers more modern clothing if he can get his hands on it, especially if it's comfy. Cargo pants are the best. Leather jackets are even better. If he has to rip the sleeves off of something or repurpose traditional Wall fashion, no problem. He always looks a bit dirty, a bit messy, a bit like he just rolled out of bed.

Johnny carries a number of scars, though medical treatment has taken care of most of them. He does have two rather nasty scars on his abdomen and near his crotch. Titanium traces are still present in his body from the stitches. He also has a scar behind his left ear from where it was reattached.

Talents
John is dyslexic, resulting in a learning disability, and was labeled as “stupid” all of his life. He is not. Decisively. Give this man any mech, any tech, and he can fix-it-build-it-fly it. He's also dabbled in stealing and bounty hunting (sometimes both at the same time.) He can handle himself with a gun, but he isn't great in a scrap hand to hand.

Interests
Collecting and reading comic books from different worlds, combing through Waca's for any tech or materials, drinking at The Club, building and upgrading tech. He's also a big fan of music (pop or soul), fanfic of his favorite comic book characters, a broadcast called "Tiny Ship Makeovers," and, though he doesn't announce it openly, robot porn.

History
Johnny was born on the ringed planet of Telen, in the J Star Cluster, along with his older brother, D'avin. He worshipped D'av most of his childhood, even as both of them suffered under their drunk father's heavy hand. It was a shit life, living with an abusive sheriff on a frontier planet, but Johnny was smart, and learned quickly. It was a good thing, because when D'av turned sixteen, he joined the army to avoid jail time for beating their father. He ended up spending the next few years caring for their ailing mother rather than go away to school, but she eventually died of Quinsy.

John left home when he was old enough, taking to stealing tech to pay off his father's debts. He nearly landed the theft of a lifetime; a high-tech spaceship run by an artificial intelligence called Lucy, but was interrupted in the theft when a half-feral beauty in a wedding dress caught him and shot him. They got past that. Eventually, Johnny went into business with her, joining her as a Killjoy, or bounty hunter for the Reclamation Apprehension Coalition (RAC). He also developed a close partnership with the ship's AI, with Lucy eventually refusing to take orders from almost anyone but Johnny.

Over the next six years, Johnny and Dutch rose in the ranks of the RAC, bringing in criminal after criminal and earning themselves a trusted name within the Quad Planetary System, a group of planetary bodies consisting of a dwarf planet and its three inhabited moons.

Eventually, Johnny was reunited with his brother when he discovered a kill warrant out for D'avin. He and Dutch managed to save D'av and work off his warrant, and Dutch invited him to join the crew. His relationship with his brother was strained at first, but Johnny is, if nothing else, a fixer, even when it comes to relationships. Eventually, the team bonded, and were drawn into a conspiracy in the Quad between the Company, the Nine, and the RAC. They became the heart of a resistance, and lost several friends (along with the love of his life) along the way, but after years fighting a Very Bad Thing, they prevailed.

In the aftermath, Johnny realized that he needed to forge his own way. With Dutch's blessing, he planned to take Lucy and set out for parts unknown. Instead, upon stepping through an airlock, he appeared in another world altogether.

Within Wall
He's been in Wall for a year and a half now, and he's set up shop in a back alley in the South Ward, helping others with their tech and loving the challenge of jury-rigging anything mechanical or electronic. More than that, he's used a backup of Lucy's personality to recreate her in his workshop, and often talks to her through a translucent tag behind his right ear.

Unfortunately, many residents don't quite understand, and he's thought of as a little bit crazy, frequently talking 'to himself'. Nevertheless, he's known to do good work, particularly talented in fixing and upgrading phones, communicators, and computers, as well as weaponry. He's also come up with a piece of tech that can charge electronics with a long-life plasma made from algae found in Ebbiarah. He's practically best friends with Wall's resident translator, Doug Ramsey, but has friendships throughout the city, from the Terrace to Westgate.

However, the most important person in his life walked in one day and has never really walked out. Poe Dameron is his partner in crime, and his partner in a lot of other things too. Johnny loves him, and has finally managed to tell him so as well, after months of being scared to open up his heart to another person. They're making plans to buy and fix up a farm outside of town, despite having been trapped there by monsters during a recent snowstorm.
