LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW
B A S I C I N F O
★ NAME: Johan Pavel Mikhaylichenko-Molotov
★ NICKNAME: Just Johan, occasionally 'Yo'.
★ MEMBER GROUP: Human
★ POKEMON: Piplup
★ AGE: Twenty-Seven
★ HEIGHT: 5'5"
★ WEIGHT: 140lb
★ FACE CLAIM: Italy from Hetalia
★ APPEARANCE:
Johan's eyes are a particularly vivid blue - a trait picked up from his father, as his mothers eyes are brown. His hair, on the other hand, is a particularly indistinct brown. Once upon a time, it was neat and organized, but when he graduated he abandoned that - an apology to his cousin for touching his perfect hair. Johan stands on the short side of average at 5'5", and weighs about 140lb. There's not an ounce of fat on him, however, as Johan is all muscle. He has the sort of muscle gained from actual work, rather then working out, and is extremely fit. He has no scars, tattoos, birth marks, or other distinguishing features, beyond the fact that he's got a bit of a babyface. Given the option, Johan would always be in military dress. Coming from a highly military family, he almost always ends up wearing a uniform in the style of the ground forces, even if he will never be entering the military.

- Johan is relatively good at Sambo, a form of martial arts that emphasizes quick action. Despite being a pacifist most of his life, the last few years have left him with little choice but to take care of himself.
★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Johan is a gentle soul, shaped by his upbringing. He posesses no memories of his father beyond the stories he was told, and with those unhappy thoughts, he's learned to despise violence. He has a tendency to refuse to stand up for himself physically, even when attacked, and it takes a great deal to make him actually become violent. Despite his families attempts to incorporate him fully in their military lifestyle, he was completely unwilling to actually put into practice the things he'd been taught. Even though he's fully trained, he's yet to use violence against a living being. In many ways, Johan has decided that passive non-resistance is the fastest way to happiness. If he simply lets people do as they please, there's less chance of the violence escalating. As such, he's more or less become a complete doormat, letting people roll right over him.
Johan is a friendly person, trying to make friends even if he disagrees with absolutely everything that the person stands for. He has long ago learned he can end up friends with everyone, and at home had more then a few friends. He's loyal to the bitter end, and an excellent listener. However, while he won't fight back, he's no glutton for punishment, and doesn't go out of his way to get too close to those he knows are trouble.
Johan is of completely average intelligence, and has never mistaken himself for anything but. He gets excellent marks , but due to simply hard work. Johan is an early riser, frequently rising before dawn. He's decent at moving around at night, but prefers the daylight by far. He never leaves anything to the last minute, and doesn't do well when rushed. He prefers to be careful, triple-checking everything before he hands it in, and is a fairly dutiful student.
Johan is more or less completely useless when it comes to modern culture. Raised in a home that considered watching a history documentary once a month to be a 'treat', he has little to no idea about what's popular or cool. He's good at technical things, history, and military applications, and beyond that, not much. The two exceptions are photography, which is his personal hobby and job, and cooking. As the only person in the house who can cook worth a damn, it was always his job to do it, and he's learned to love it.
He's a pessimist at heart, even if he hides it, and is always convinced he's doing worse then he is. For Johan, anything that can go wrong usually does, and even if they don't, he tries to be prepared for the eventuallity that they will. This goes for almost everything, and dislikes being left unprepared. This is one of the reasons he's so patient - because sometimes, being prepared means being willing to wait for a very long time.

H I S T O R Y
- Johan’s mother, Anya, was a rebel, running off from her extremely strict family (and extremely strict brother) to get married to an office worker. Her family disapproved of the relationship, but she refused to see reason, moving in with him and living close to the poverty line. She considered herself blessed when she had Johan, giving him the name ‘Pavel’ to mock her brother.
- When he was five, however, a rather alarming fact was revealed: His father had been living a double life, and most of his 'business trips' were anything but. Instead, he was a killer, known to have killed at least three women not far from where they lived, all while hiding it from his wife and son. He was caught and sent off to jail, but finding out the truth about his father has severely affected the way Johan sees the world.
- Suffering from intense harassment, Johan and his mother move back to her home town, living beside her brother. She returned to using her maiden name, and Johan’s name was changed to match up. They began a new life, pretending that Johan’s father had never existed. While no one has found out about his father in years, Johan is constantly paranoid about the possibility that someone might find out and tell everyone. He’s convinced that all his friends will drop him like a rock if they ever found out.
- Meeting his uncle for the first time also meant meeting his cousins. Both adopted, Johan doted on both of them. His younger brother taught him to have far more compassion then most did at his age, and made Johan rather protective at him. It was his older cousin, however, who Johan was closer to. Magnus was his hero, his protector, and became everything a big brother should be.
- When Johan was twelve, he received an old film camera as a gift. Lacking friends his age, Johan took it up as his hobby of choice, being unwilling to join the military as the rest of his family had. A favorite subject of his was a pidgey that lived in the tree beside his bedroom, and he took plenty of pictures of it. His mother, by random chance, entered the photo in a contest - and it won, and won, and kept on winning. By the time it reached the national level, Johan’s mother had been approached by a formal manager who wanted to represent him, utterly ignorant of his age. Instead, his manager revelled in it. Overnight, ‘Taubsi’ became a sensation, the anonymous photographer of ‘Pidgey in flight’. The identity of the photographer was a closely guarded secret known only to Johan's family and his manager, and the anonymity only made the stunning photograph more popular.
- Johan has made enough money from his status as a photography sensation that he could likely retire, with some thrify spending. Despite that, he has no real intention of doing so.
- When Johan was a teenager, however, he began to realize that his perfect life was not so perfect. As everyone he knew went off and started dating, he remained at home. Love was a stupid concept to him, something he could never quite understand. Unable to remember his mother having ever been in love, and with an uncle so asexual he had all the charisma of a rock, he had no role models on the subject, and was forced to do proper research into a topic that should be instinct. It was then that he realized the simple truth: What feelings he had for his elder adoptive cousin were not simply the sort of feelings one is supposed to have. Facing up to it, he finally confessed, leaving both himself and Magnus terrible awkward.
- Johan recognizes the day after his confession as the worst day of his life, because when he woke up, Magnus was gone. Magnus had packed his bags and vanished overnight, leaving the family confused and alarmed. Attempts to track him down failed, and only Johan was left knowing why. While the rest of the family was forced to give up after years without a word, moving on with their lives, Johan remained behind. He still lives in the same house, still does the same things, perpetually trapped in his own waking nightmare. He continues his photography, even if it's become significantly more depressing then it should be. Instead, he waits, unsure if he's ever going to get to make up for his mistake.
