Summary

The leader of a mercenary group, based in the capital city of Albion, Avalon. John has always been brash and strong. During his childhood, he befriended a kid named David. Eventually, the two of them created their own mercenary group and embarked on numerous adventures, taking on any kind of job along the way. Throughout his journey, he started adopting David's cool-headedness and stopped being so brash. However, the two had a falling out and ended up going their separate ways, never to see each other again. John was devastated, having lost his best friend.

At the age of 18, John saved Nidrawe and Sythet when they were 4 and 10 years old, respectively, as they were being hunted by a soldier. He took both of them under his care and started a new mercenary group to earn money to provide for them. Young Licht would be the next member to join the group after being rescued from his owners, who had trained the poor child in the art of assassination. The last two to join were Lana and Thea, orphaned after a monster destroyed their homes and killed their parents.

Now, aside from leading his own band, John also serves as a parental figure for everyone in his party. He loves all of them as if they were his own children and will not hold back against anyone who tries to harm them.

Skills

John specializes in dealing huge amounts of Physical Damage. The lower his HP, the more damage he unleashes against his enemies. Start the battle by using his Skill 2: Apex Predator to consume his HP and gain the powerful effect [Wounded Tiger], granting him Atk equal to a percentage of the HP consumed and allowing him to inflict up to 5 instances of [Tigris Rafflesia] on his foes. Focus on keeping his HP low to maximize his damage output, but don't get too cocky. If necessary, use his Skill 1: Scarlet Moon to bring his HP up, but be aware that doing this will consume all of his Blood Frenzy stacks. Utilize his Ultimate: Oblivion to consume the shields of every enemy and extend the duration of [Wounded Tiger], but before doing so make sure to inflict some [Tigris Rafflesia] instances in order to maximize his damage. John is a self-sufficient damage dealer capable of taking some hits, but he should not serve as the team's main tank or damage dealer. Use him if you want a character that does not require much team building or assistance, but be careful when managing his HP.
