Johnathan was born in..... well, no one knows. All he knows was that he was born somewhere on the American-Mexican Border, and he was given no other information. For the first 7 years of his life, he was raised in a orphanage. When he was, 5 he began running. He would leave occastionally to just jump around on the roof-tops. He would do this often to escape the other children of the orphanage. Because of his assumed heritage, he was often mocked. He had no real friends, and he was somewhat of a loner. Very shy. At the age of 7, he could run much faster than other children. Then he was adopted. He was taken under the care of a nice pair of foster parents. Was this the end of his pain. No. Soon after he was adopted, his new mother died in a car accident. His new father started drinking and becoming abusive. His new school was no better than the orphanage children. Only a few people were his friends. At the age of 9, he ran into a strange man. He was trespassing on his property, and he gave chase. Johnathan, being much faster, almost outran him, but he ran himself into a dead end. The man, instead of reporting him to the police, was impressed by his speed and offered to teach him how to put it to good use. Thankfully, againist all odds, this man was not a pedophile. He was teacher of Parkour, a art that was meant for efficent movement. He accepted whole-heartedly. He came to the man almost always after school for him to teach him. Although his grades at school dropped (except for practical things, like Geometry. He saw them as possiblely having a use in the near future, unlike others. ), skills became better. Soon he could out run anyone in the school. But, his abusive father eventaully caught up to them. When he was 13, his father confronted the man who taught John, and chased him off. This was awful for Johnathan, for he did not only teach him the skills, but also about being kind to others and that violence was almost never the answer. But, life must go now, though he never stopped practicing. In high-school he took corses he considered pratical. Things like engineering and geometry. However, his father was getting even more abusive and the bullies more oppressive. So what does he do? He does what he did best. He ran. He booked a ticket to Italy when he was 15 and he was off. He was able to pose as a 19 year old. He thought he was scott free of his troubles. But fate seemed to like to steer him to dispair. When in Italy he decided to take classes in Engineering and, to his enjoyment, flying lessons. He posed as a 19 year old again in his classes, and, and one point, met a woman named "Mariella Angela". He fell for her after a few minutes of talking. Whe was so understanding for him, and she had a great personality to him. They quickly became friends, and then the best of friends, and then... well, you getthe idea. Johnathans life was turning into something of a very good dream. It was a pity it would not last. "Politics" are what turned his life upside down. In the world, the Western European Alliance (WEA) and the Eastern European Dictatorship (EED) were facing each other down to the last. The EED thought it prudent to end the negotiations and use force instead. Dispite the WEA's allies, The Mongol Empire and the UEE, the war was long drawn out. Italy was the first invaded. Italy consripted almost all of its population from ages 18 to 35. And sadly, dispite being a 16 year old at the time, he was still identified as a 19 year old! And so he was dragged into one of the bloodiest wars in human history. He quickly befriended (for his social skills had improved over the last few years) most of his 150 soldier company. He thought they would not experiance much combat. He was wrong, for he was placed in the 170th Miltia Battilion, of which was sent on a bloody assault to take the Balkan. One of the bloodiest campians in the war, when it was finished, only 5 people remained in the 170th Miltia Battilion. With the Mongolians and the WEA dividing Eastern Europe, he returned home, where he discovered to his dismay that Mariella had been killed in a bombing. Having no friends and no where to go, he went to the only place he could think of. Space.
When he joined the crew, it was sort of last second. He literally joined 2 weeks before the launch. He was also servely drunk when he entered the pod, possibly having his memories mess with enter and conflict with the ships programing. There was also a hooded man who altered Johnathan's pod before it took off. He did under cover of Darkness and he hid it quite well, so no one knew till the ship launched that some one had altered Johnathans pod. Lords knows what he did to it.
((Expect Ghosts from Johnathans past fucking with us once in a while. And by that, I mean, like only once of twice in a chapter (Which are hopefully longer than the first). Also expect plot devolpment and tapes in Johnathan's mind with some random dude talking to him, about mysterious stuff. ))
(( Edit: Holy crap thats a whole lot of text. ))
