Gender: Male
Nicknames:
John-John
Long-Gone-John
Johnny
Mr. Time
Personality: Generally kind-spirited, happy, and efficient, John is a Goblin Gator whose looks are the exact definition of "Don't judge a book by its cover!" John is notably adventurous, punny, and a history-"lover" - and when it comes to adventures, John daringly explores the unknown with a great sense of curiosity and wonder. John is not a solitary venturer, however. When possible, he will always bring a friend along to chat and explore with. With that being said, John is known to be very chatty - striking up conversations where possible. With a chatty nature, John is also known for his over-all warmth as an individual - being excellent at giving warm, secure hugs and making sure that nobody ever feels left out of fun activities. With a happy and playful nature, John also loves making puns and jokes! Though he knows that nobody ever likes to hear those terrible puns roll out of his mouth, he takes delight in seeing others play along with his terrible jokes.
Additionally, John is a total nerd for history - taking joy in reading history books with facts that he knows he may be able to prove true or false with his abilities.
Age: While some believe John to be thousands of years old (or more), John is actually 22 years old. The belief that he's so old naturally comes from the fact that he can time travel - but realistically, John was born on the year 1994 of January 8th. Having a personality with humor, John likes to joke that he's "negative (number) years old" when he goes back to a time in which he didn't exist.
The "present" time?: Though John travels throughout many different timelines, there is one timeline in specific that he considers "the present" - the 21st century, 2016. When John decides to time travel, he always remembers at the end of his travels to return to the exact time and date of which he left off before embarking on the journey.
The power: While John does not regard his powers as something to take seriously, he does not treat it as a miracle either. John is fully aware that his ability to manipulate time helps him lead a more adventurous life, but it is also considerably dangerous. With an awareness for the danger of his powers, John surprisingly does not use his powers as often as people may think. Additionally, John does not undo "minor" mistakes in life - as he believes that if someone makes a mistake and it is undone with the power of time, they will never truly learn from the mistake and gain wisdom on the topic. When it comes to interacting with others regarding his powers, John finds himself sometimes bringing his best friend Soku along on adventures to the past - the only friend he trusts to come along on his time adventures! When it comes to combat, John finds himself using his element to slow time dramatically so that he may leave the scene unscathed and undisturbed, as he isn't fond of fighting. John does not consider his ability to slow time a blessing, however, as he usually winds up with a violent heart beat after the use of this power. Otherwise, John does not often bring up his element control as a topic to talk about unless someone starts the topic up. In conversations that revolve around his powers, John is usually the complete opposite of passionate. Talking about his powers does not stop him from having a good mood, though!

- ???L i f e- Being a Goblin Gator that controls time, John is seen as one to be avoided by most of society - as John's control over time strikes fear into the minds of others. However, with a bit of conversing and understanding, anyone who knows John even a little bit can admit that he's a kind-hearted, talkative fellow. Otherwise, those who have never met John are usually wary of him once they learn of his ability. John's ability is not feared out of jealousy, but rather the fact that many individuals do not desire knowing that the GG can jump ahead of time to see their future. Some people even feel sorry for John, as they believe a being with the power to control time must feel awfully lonely knowing how their best friends 'begin' and 'end'.
H o b b i e s- Educating others on the past -
When it comes to history, John certainly comes in first! With his upbeat, friendly nature and need to talk, John loves talking about history to others. It amuses him most when an individual brings up a topic that he was able to witness with the help of his powers - for example, the industrial revolution or the renaissance - both important events that John went back to experience for himself. As a time traveler, however, John takes care not to reveal too much about what he's seen, as he does not wish to change the entire world's way of thinking or get himself into serious trouble with individuals who do not tolerate the truth.
- playing Pictionary -
Though John loves to do history-related things, playing Pictionary is definitely one of John's more preferred games. John is not exactly an 'artist', but he enjoys drawing for Pictionary nonetheless and sometimes manages to slip in some historical characters! What really gets John to enjoy this game is the guessing that the game involves. The success of guessing what a drawing is thrills John greatly, and with that being said, has made Pictionary possibly his favorite board game.
- Time traveling!-
Obviously, John loves time traveling through the past and (occasionally) the future as his powers permit him to. When it comes to sightseeing, John preferably travels to the past to view impressive nature scenes that he would not otherwise be able to check. However, John does not do time traveling just for sightseeing - he finds himself having quite some impressive adventures during his time travels, in fact! From making a daring escape out of a dungeon to fighting off ancient beasts of little or no reason, John's time traveling has granted him quite some wisdom, but more importantly, valuable friendships.
-Reading -
When John cannot time travel, he prefers to take on a completely different form of adventure - reading! With the fact that John's adventures include more action than dialogue, he often checks out books that are filled with action as it satisfies his need for "something to happen".
F r i e n d s & E n e m i e s i hope some non GG friends are possible omg 
Soku the GG | Friend | "The chill dude who also happens to be a stylish, fabulous 'thief' " | 21st century
Quite the unexpected encounter, John and Soku first met on the streets of what John considers to be his own timeline. After a bit of shop lifting and making glances 'here and there' without focusing directly on the path ahead of him, Soku hurriedly (but accidentally) bumped into John. Rather used to such occurrences, Soku's haste in fleeing from the store knocked John's feet clean off the ground as the time GG himself paid little attention to his path. With a hasty apology and lending a hand in getting John back on his feet, Soku once again continued to get as far as possible from the shopping center - though, he wasn't quite being pursued in the first place. After a day of wandering the center, John spotted a certain familiar figure sitting in the shadows. Calling the shadowy figure out and questioning what exactly happened "back there", John and Soku managed to have quite a lengthy conversation! Exchanging friendly advice about how to navigate the city and life tips in general, the two GGs have become best friends ever since - resulting in a lengthy, lasting friendship of 6 years so far!

- Aister the Gallora || friend || "The glorious dork who doesn't like my jokes and tries too hard to be evil" || 17th century
Being one of the first friends John has befriended, Aister and John are rather close friends. Originally, it was John's ability to manipulate time that spooked Aister when the two first found each other in the midst of a densely wooded forest. With a careful approach and exchange of words, bad puns/jokes, and understanding, the two have become close-enough friends to call each other by silly, insulting names.

- Kādo the Drakami || friend || "The dude who's always fun to be around but makes almost zero sense" || 11th century
"Where to even start.... I love the guy but I can't even begin to explain his logic!" Being John's silliest friend, it did not take long for the two to become friends while the silly canine dragon hung off a tree by his tail. One thing John finds most admirable about Kādo is his very open-minded personality. As most 'strangers' fear John for the simple fact that he can control time, John felt a little unconfident about letting Kādo know that he could control time. Much to his surprise, however, the pink Drakami responded with a bright smile of surprise and a reply that while positive, made little sense but was enough to properly get Kādo's intended message of acceptance across.
•••••

- Roiyaru the Drakami || enemy || "The furious guy who treats others as if they don't have emotions" || 11th century
Being more of a bad memory than an enemy, Roiyaru is one of the few enemies John has made while venturing in the past. Sadly, Roiyaru's unreasonable, demanding, and harsh first impression upon John left the GG and his friend Kādo fleeing from Roiyaru's castle. Truthfully, however, Roiyaru does not hate John - he just has an immense fear of the tall GG's powers and intimidating appearance.
