Fighting Style: John is a very disciplined fighter, he tends to not let emotionalism cloud his judgment and is pragmatic in a fight. He doesn’t fool around and will immediately attack, but usually not recklessly. John was trained in the Modern Army Comparatives Program at Fort Benning, Georgia. He has level three MACP qualifications, which is one bellow top of the 4 leveled ranking system. It also qualifies him to instruct other soldiers in hand to hand combat for the basic levels. The training is somewhat similar to civilian MMA training, but not entirely the same. There is a lot of focus on grappling techniques, strikes, and submissions. He is a little slow, though, once he's winded. Faster fighters may tire him out. In some ways, it's be easier for him to go toe to toe with someone bigger than him than to fight a speedster.

Preferred style: Grappling, submission holds
Preferred match: Any, especially yaoi, however he does not enjoy humiliation matches.

Favored holds: Sleepers
Neck Scissors
Back breakers
Bearhugs
MP Hammer lock (pinning the opponents arm behind his back to restrain him and cause extreme pain to the arm)

Finishing move: Kata ha Jime variant (Tazzmission). John uses one arm to get his opponent into a half nelson, while the other wraps around the opponent's neck to choke them. John then uses his legs to catch them in a body scissors.In hentai matches, he may use his feet to stimulate the opponent from this position, though this does make the scissor hold weaker.



Appearance: John is a relatively tall and well-built man. He has very short hair and a well-toned body, smooth of facial hair. He has muscular legs , with tan skin and red hair. He usually wears a US Army MP tee shirt and jeans/sweat pants into a match. [size=150]UNLIKE IN THE PHOTO[/size], his eyes are green and he has two old scars. One is on the left side of his lower stomach, it looks like a bunch of small wounds, as it was minor shrapnel from an IED. The other is a long horizontal scar along the side of his waist, where a 7.62mm round from an AK-47 had grazed him and tore a bit of flesh out. The round never actually entered his body, just grazed him badly. Neither wound was very severe, he didn't even leave his deployment.



Personality: John is the Super-Ego of the group. He stands between the Id and Ego, Ro and Amanda, to provide a balanced, pragmatic, logical, and moral view. In general, this puts him in a leadership roll. While he is not emotionless, his logical and calculating way of looking at things makes him seem cold. He is very nice, very courteous, and can be very formal with strangers and even casual acquaintances. This, combined with his rather strong sense of moral certitude, can make him seem aloof or condescending, even when this isn't the case.

He is a very disciplined fighter, he tends to not let emotionalism cloud his judgment and is pragmatic in a fight. He doesn’t fool around and will immediately attack, but usually not recklessly. While he can and will be ruthless in a fight, he will not lose respect for his opponent no matter how vicious he is assaulting them unless he is disrespected first. Before and after a match he is friendly and outgoing, and he will ALWAYS help someone who needs it after a match if they earned his respect. He won’t feel disrespect by any kind of attack, even a tactic one might feel to be embarrassing or humiliating or even 'underhanded' (barring serious exceptions), but he will become angry at trash talk, discourteous behavior before or after a match, and so forth. As such, however, he does not feel using tactics one might consider embarrassing or humiliating to be disrespectful, as he expects no less from his opponent. He will never intentionally break the rules of a match unless he has been seriously offended.

He has an eclectic collection of hobbies, including maintaining several motorcycles and driving them. His prized motorcycle is a Royal Enfield WD/RE from WWII. This small motorcycle was an antique. His grandfather had been a British Paratrooper during WWII. The motorbike was "misplaced" and somehow ended up in his grandfather's house. It was passed down to his father and then to John. John is also is a recreational marksman, which is difficult in Japan, but he still shoots in competition. He works part time as a range master outside of Kyoto.



History: John, an American of Scottish decent, grew up in New York City, where he befriended Ro Larren and Amanda Clare He was a sophomore and they were freshmen, but all of them shared a love for wrestling. They soon became members of various small level leagues. But, while Amanda and Ro wanted to go Pro, John secretly did not.

He loved wrestling, particularly the rough and often brutal and bloody fights he got into with Ro (which resulted in Ro breaking three of his fingers in one instance, and John totally dislocated her shoulder in another). Neither of them bore any resentment, they fought because they loved to fight, so it was natural they might get hurt, they laughed about it once healed. He also very much enjoyed the sensual wrestling with Amanda. While all three of them were sexually active with each other, they were all “friend zoned,” they never did, never wanted to, and never will be romantic. Despite this, he did not want to go pro. He had always wanted a career in the military.

After leaving High School, where he was a noted track athlete, John enlisted in the United States Army and served for several years (MOS 64 Bravo, MP). He functioned as a military policeman. As an MP, he policed other soldiers. When deployed to Afghanistan, he assisted and trained the local police forces and patrolled various streets and towns. This led to confrontation with Taliban forces, who did not like the presence of US soldiers or MPs in their former turf. His departure made Amanda and Ro very said, since the two of them imagined all three of them rising as wrestlers together.

He was considering making a career of the military and was even investigating the possibility of Officer Candidate School. However, several years later, he was given an Honorable Discharged after being accused of violation of the Army’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy in regards to homosexuality. While John did not admit to the charges at the time, after being discharged he is openly and proudly bisexual and will tend to react violently to bigotry against homosexuals.

Soon, he found his way to Japan, where after fighting in a few amateur circuits, he eventually was contacted and joined AFW. Much to his surprise, he managed to encounter his old friend Amanda. He was so happy to see her again that he almost hurt her in the hug he gave. Shortly thereafter, Amanda managed to convince Ro to join them, and the three friends were together once more.


Ro and John (the height difference is not really so pronounced).

Eventually, after entering a slight joke of a tournament, John defeated the representative of Kent Quick and gained the title. John found Kent's attitude to be homophobic--he refused to fight another man (even though it was a non erotic and, indeed, brutal ladder match). He said the idea of men touching him made him uncomfortable and so found a woman to fight in his name. He has a lingering and intense dislike for Quick. As a result, he considered his victory to be undeserved.

Latter, John's inadequate feelings began to subside after he fought and tied against Friction's champion, Angel, in an intense battle that exhausted both fighters. They got so caught up, neither of them noticed that they were being counted out when their battle spilled out of the ring. John got along with Angel very well.

In John's mind, he didn't really become champion until his first title defense. John fought Makie Akamatsu, an incredible opponent who--despite being much smaller--was every bit his equal. After the match, John told an interviewer that any one of a million tiny little things could have made him lose. He said that if he had to choose a successor to the title, it would be Makie. He then said that if the "...pompous, self focused, ignoramuses who run Tension have any sense, they'll make sure Makie had a chance to go after the next champion."

As Champion, John was somewhat controversial because of the perceived ease in which he won, but his subsequent victories eased that controversy. He also was well liked because of his friendly and open demeanor, as well as his attitude towards female opponents. In his own words, there were too many "douche bags [in Tension] who are only here to grope small women. It's one thing to defeat a female opponent in a fair fight, it's quite another to be a pig." John tried to use the publicity of the title to set an example. He wanted to show that you can give your all and fight a female opponent without disrespecting or objectifying them.



Friends: Tai Kaminya, Amanda Clare, Ro Laren (both are childhood friends...and often more...but no romance), Angel (fought to a draw in a Champ vs Champ match and became friends).
Allies: Amanda Clare, Ro Laren
Rivals: none
Enemies: Kent Quick, Killer King (by association).
Crushes: Makie Akamatsu (John greatly respects and admires her as a fighter. He couldn't help but be attracted to her, though he didn't let that affect his match. Her attitude can be off putting, however.)
Lovers: none

Record (official forum matches only)
*Note: While it may appear that John had few matches, he has an enormous number of early matches that were unintentionally dropped by one or both parties. Also, he participated in a tournament that was meant to have 4 rounds, but only had two as a result of people dropping their threads. As a result, IC I do not refer to those matches specifically but I do act as if he has had slightly more Tension experience than is listed here. I usually treat them as defeats he experienced in the past.
