███ John Connor ███ THE PLAYER Name: Mike Age: 40 Email: michaelthedestroyer@yahoo.com AIM: shoot the wings Timezone: EST THE CHARACTER Name: John Connor Alias: John Reese, John Baum, Henry Gage, John Cooper, possibly several others Fandom: Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles (SCC) Point in canon: Post-series Sexuality: Bi-curious Species: Human Age: 18 Link to outside source: Here Personality: John carries a burden, has had it since the cradle. He's supposed to be some savior, a leader of humanity in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by machines. He is destined to lead humanity to victory over Skynet, the supercomputer that started the nuclear war and set the terminators on his kind. And of course there is the threat of cyborgs coming from the future to kill him before the war and change history. So, naturally... this can sort of make him a bit emo at times. Not as much as before, though, as now he's starting to step up to the plate and try to be more badass. He wants a normal life but realizes that the chances of getting that are slim to none. There's a slight case of PTSD for him; he was forced to kill a man when the attacker was poised to kill him and his mother. He'd never fathomed taking a human life, even in a survival situation. Also from the numerous times he has faced certain death when a machine came to kill him, and rescued at the last possible second? As well as actually now living in the post-apocalyptic future he'd been told of all his life. All of that has left him wary of surprises and often has soldier-like reactions; surveying rooms for possible exits, avoiding crowds, looking over his shoulder, jumpy at surprising entrances by others, etc. He is welcoming of distractions from time to time, though not too much as he always likes being prepared after all. He is sometimes open to any fun activity, provided that one can manage to pry him away from the computer screen and his serious thoughts. John does, however have similar traits to others his age. He enjoys playing video games a lot, working on cars, going out once in a while, skateboarding, riding a motorcycle, and other things of that nature. He is not the type of guy that would like to stay cooped up in his house for more than a day, can also be a tad impatient. Although, unlike other friends he's known.. he is perhaps the only one who thinks the idea of rewriting computer code, reprogramming CPU robot chips, and making viruses is an idea of a good time. A major deal with him is not having his words believed when he knows it's the truth, especially if his mother does not believe or trust him on occasion. He has issues about people not trusting him, and by extension, not trusting his closest friends or allies right away (though once the trust is earned, it's solid and unshakable). Though if it's betrayed, well.. the opposite of that isn't something he'd wish to consider. Another issue is that he sometimes acts on impulse when exposure is a risk. For example, he was prevented from saving a jumper at school. Another time he was going ahead and tracking a T-888's shipment of Coltan metal, which was very risky to his own life (such as being alone with the cyborg in 'standby' mode while trying to lift the bunker door keychain off his neck). He doesn't like high stress situations, especially if he's right in the middle of it (which sometimes he is). John can also be socially awkward on occasion.. like skipping class, eating lunch away from others, remaining outside the school even if the bell rang for everyone else to go in, doesn't like deadlines too much, etc. Occasionally prefers going off on his own sometimes where he doesn't have to think of what will happen and all that other serious stuff. Abilities: No powers, completely human. But he's skilled at hacking, viruses, re-programming cyborgs, firearms use, Spanish language, computer technology, and unarmed combat tactics.
