Grade-9th
Age-15
Weight- 162lbs
Height- 5'10
Appearance: Body- John's body is a medium build, being toned by his daily workouts. The only birthmark on his body is found on his left shoulder, in what seems to look like a pair of cherries. There is a small scar on his right forearm, when he accidentally cut himself with a knife when cutting a rope for his dad. No tattoos or piercings on his persona.
Appearance: Cosmetic: Casual/School- He is usually seen in two outfits. The first is a brown jacket, either zipped up or unzipped, with a white undershirt. His legs are covered with Levi's jeans. He wears Addias sneakers, a mix of black and white. His hands are covered with black fingerless gloves. Finally, his head is wrapped with a white bandanna, a memento of his father. (Note- He doesn't always wear his bandanna to school, only once or twice in a week.) His second outfit is a grey hooded jacket, with a black undershirt and black pants with a chain for his wallet. His shoes are the same. He doesn't usually wear his gloves or bandanna with this outfit.
Formal- He wears a black long shirt with a white collared undershirt. His wears black pants with black dress shoes. His hair is combed down for professionalism.
Eye Color-Green
Hair- The color of the hair is auburn red. The length of his hair reaches the back of his neck, while his bangs go pass his eyebrows.
Habits- John has one very particular habit: he blushes whenever a female compliments him in someway. He just can not help but blush, and scratch the back of his ear. He scratches the side of his chin when he becomes bored or if he is thinking.
Personality- John is a quiet person. He is the one whom everyone recognizes, but no one talks to. He is not very outgoing to people unless he gets to know them. Even then, he is a man of few words. He is laid back, and listens to what others say, and tend to let things go. Some may say he can be a little too forgiving at times. He believes everyone deserves the respect of being an individual, as well respecting one's personal life. If someone asks him for help, there is no way he could deny that request without a strong reason; to him, his friends are more important then his own well being. Also is terrified of knives due to an accident at the age of five.
Extracurricular- John practiced Jeet Kune Do for eight years. Started in the first grade.
Hobbies- His main hobbies are going for walks, reading books, and working out at the gym.
Fighting Style- Jeet Kune Do, or the Way of the Intercepting Fist. The fighting style itself is based on the idea that the best defense is a strong offense. John uses his Jeet Kune Do training to parry his enemy’s strikes, and then counter using his own in a quick flurry. Most of John's attacks are pretty simple, being easily read, but this allows John to conserve energy.
Strengths- John uses his training in Jeet Kune Do both as an offense and a defense, being able to read his opponents strikes and quickly counter them with his own blows, being kicks, punches or a throw. Add that to John's overall strength and speed, making him a devastating opponent to face. Being simple as it is, John can use his energy when he'll truly need it.
Weaknesses- Jeet Kune Do strikes are pretty simple, thus is easily read. John himself isn't invincible, too many blows may slow him down enough to the point that his blows are in slow motion. Plus, John can't fight a long battle due to his stamina.
History- John was born in San Francisco in the year of 1993, the only child of William Plisken and Heather Plisken. The only problem was that William was in the navy. This made him worry that he would not have time to see his boy. Luckily, he was there during his early years. One day, William asked his son to cut a rope for him for a project he was working on. While cutting the rope, John swiped the blade to fast, slicing his right forearm wide open. John was rushed to the hospital fifteen minutes later to get stitches and had to stay for the night. Ever since, the young boy had been terrified of knives, dreading to even look at them.
Then came the announcement of corporal punishment system, in which frighten couple. Heather convinced her husband to place their boy in a private school to avoid a bad learning environment, and the pain to live in fear of school. It was these years in which made John who he is today; a very bright young man that knew how to be polite, respectful, and courteous of others. Unfortunately, John never learned how to present himself to others well. It was also during these years that John learned how intelligent he truly is.
After finishing the kindergarten year, John's parents discovered that private schooling ended at the eighth grade, forcing John. With this in mind, William sent John to a dojo a few blocks away in which taught Jeet Kune Do, where John would meet the sensei, Tetseya Takamoto. Since that day, John would run all the way to the dojo, ready learn the how to defend himself. At the age of twelve, John was forced to see his dad leave him to go be part of a ship's crew. Before he left, he gave John the bandanna, saying, "I'll always be with you, son."
Ever since, John increased his visits to the dojo, training everyday to prepare him for high school. Then it happened, he promoted to the 9th grade with an average of B's. Although he was happy, he was oblivious to the truth why he was in a dojo and a private school in the first place, but he didn't care. School was almost over, and John could finish his schooling in as little as four years. Armed with only a memento of his father, his training, and a heart full of confidence, John marches forward, unknowing to him the dangers that wait in high school....
