John Braveheart

"I won't kill my friends, you hear me?! You may force me to fight them, you may force me to kill some of their allies, but I will never kill them! Never!"
- John's words to the Crones, shortly before he is forced to fight them again in the assault (Confirmed)
John (full name John Vincent Braveheart II) is a Main Character who is Jared Kaos's best friend, as well as the current Tritagonist of "Miracula Luxia". He is a young man from Duskwood who is responsible for bringing Jared to the town and later becoming a good friend of his. He has a mother, father and little brother.
He is the Protagonist of his own story- "John's Story" and the main Antagonist of "Miracula Luxia" in Chapter 5 as well as a minor Antagonist in the first half of Chapter 6, renouncing his antagonistic ways afterwards and becoming a member of Jared's team once again.
== Personality ==
Unlike most people in the story, John is shown to be a very caring (albeit a little afraid) young man, whose skills have yet to rise and shine.
One of John's most valuable traits is his devotion to protecting the ones around him, doing so with remarkable skill and efficiency.
Although very skilled, John can also be very stubborn at times, sometimes disagreeing with his allies and trying to solve the problem in his own way. Sadly, it doesn't work out most of the time.
Unfortunately, most of those traits were erased when he joined the "Order of the Black Fist", making him as cruel and heartless as most of its members.
Fortunately, his personality returned when he joined his friends once again in Chapter 6.
John, now a person who has learned that the way he was following all this time was wrong, vows to learn from his mistakes and promises to be a loyal and protective ally who can be trusted by any good person around the world, not just Jared and his allies.
From Chapter 6 ahead, John has become a brand new person. A literal "Guardian Angel" who follows his allies anywhere and helps them out when needed, not fearing the consequences that he might suffer afterwards.
John is fiercely loyal when it comes to protecting his allies from harm, especially towards his best friend and fellow companion- Jared, with whom he is ready to do anything and go anywhere to help him our, showing just how loyal John truly is to him.
Instead of trying to think of a plan himself (and possibly make a wrong decision), John leaves the hard decisions for Jared to make since he thinks that he is a much better leader than him and he prefers to be the one who carries out his plan.

== Appearance ==
John is a young man with red hair (A lighter shade). He wears the standard outfit for any Hunter and Spy- a long brown coat with brown pants, long yellow boots and a white shirt underneath the coat. He also wears a pair of dark blue gloves.
His outfit in Chapter 5 is much more different, featuring a complicated set of clothing, all of it fit for a Shadow Stalker- black coat, black leggings as well as two gray blades on his back.
He also has a white headband on his forehead and a black bandage on his face (Though it is unknown how he obtained both of them)
His hair is significantly shorter (possibly due to the headband holding most of it up) and he has a small beard.
In the second half of Chapter 6, John's appearance is changed once again, this time featuring a much more interesting set of equipment- a royal set, given to him by King Starrus The Second himself. All of it is white-and-yellow- a sign of peace and light.
In Chapter IX (9), John's appearance changed slightly. His armor is pretty much the same, although it now has a badge pinned to it- a reward given to John personally by King Starrus The Second to honor his bravery in the war against Farrar's forces and as a thank you gift for helping Jared out when he needed help the most.
Other than that, he now has a green cloak and a white holy knight's shoulder guard (Just like some other characters in the series).
However, a significant change in John's attire is the fact that the eyepatch on his face is gone, meaning that his eye has fully healed in the year that passed after he was previously hurt.
The only thing that hasn't changed is his long hairstyle that has stayed that way ever since he renounced his antagonistic ways in the middle of Chapter VI (6).
== Weapons of Choice ==
John carries two daggers which are his Main Weapons. Those Daggers are actually two small White-and-Red Kunai, one of which is hidden in his pocket just in case.
It can be seen that he also carries a White Sword with a Yellow Handle. It is unknown if he actually uses it or it's there just for show.
In Chapter 5 his attire consists of two large gray swords which are able to inflict serious damage when used in combat.
John's ability to parry blows and deflect them has also increased due to the fact that he has those swords, making him a deadly fighter.
After the events in the first half of Chapter 6, John decided to discard those weapons and equip himself with a small sword.
While he may not be able to parry that many blows anymore, he is able to swing his new weapon quickly and fiercely, enabling him to deal some powerful blows to an unprepared enemy with no downside whatsoever.
In Chapter 9, his attire changes once again. This time, John uses both a small and a huge blade, both made of pure, magical energy and are of the element Earth.
== Relationships ==
=== His mother ===
John loves his mother and would do anything to ensure her safety. Their relationship expands to extents where both of them will do anything to protect each other.
John is very saddened by his mother's death and becomes emotionally distraught for a long time, not wishing to communicate with anyone else. Until he meets Jared.
=== His father ===
John and his father have a strong father-son relationship. After his wife's death, John becomes the primary person whom his father wishes to protect from harm.
John means the world for his father and he won't hesitate to kill someone if it means saving his son.
=== Jared Kaos ===
John and Jared share a very powerful bond that cannot be broken easily.
Both boys care for each other very much and are ready to risk their lives if it means saving the other.
Even after John's betrayal, Jared still forgives him, seeing a good friend and fellow fighter for the good of everyone in John. Their relationship after those unfortunate events becomes even stronger than before, signifying how much the two of them really care for each other.
Always the ever faithful companion, John is ready to fight every enemy, no matter how strong or smart until the very end, just to protect his best friend from harm. Same goes for Jared.
After Jared's disappearance in "Winning And Losing", John is completely devastated and emotionally distraught. However, unlike most other characters (who assume that Jared is dead), John doesn't stop believing that his friend is still alive and continues to search for him every day and night until he finds him.
John is overjoyed to see his best friend alive after the explosion and vows to always protect him, having finally learned from his mistakes and eager to redeem himself even more.
=== His brother ===
John and his little brother share a very strong bond between each other.
John is saddened to learn that his brother has disappeared and doesn't stop searching for him, even though it is very unlikely for the two brothers to ever reunite.
=== Seiko Kaos ===
Although he is much younger than her, Seiko has lots of respect for John and trusts him enough to even make him promise that he will protect her son after her death and never leave his side.
John has the same respect for Seiko, partially regarding her as one of the most amazing people he has ever met (and cares about her as if she were his own mom).
John is very saddened by Seiko's death and tries to keep his promise by always staying by Jared's side and fighting alongside him, just like he always has until now.
=== Annie Mitchell ===
John and Annie share a good relationship. Annie cares for John and so does he.
However, she is also very irritated by his sudden actions, often criticizing him for them afterwards.
It is unknown how she feels about the new John, but it has yet to be seen.
=== Aleks Kaos ===
John respects Aleks mainly because he is his best friend's father. However, he also has a lot of respect for him, because he is a former hero and wishes to learn what he has to teach.
Aleks is more than happy to help John improve his fighting abilities and is ready to help him out whenever it is needed.
=== Akari's parents ===
John has never met Akari's parents before, but when he sees their undead corpses, he feels pity for them and understands Akari when he realizes that she didn't have the strength to put them down after reanimation.
Instead of forcing her to put her parents down, he decides to put both of them down himself, being reminded of how he had to put his mother just like that a few years ago.
== Status ==
John managed to survive the dangers of the world after being left behind by Jared's sister and joined the Order of the Black Fist as an act of revenge against Jared for abandoning them when they needed him.
However, he gave up on his antagonistic ways when he realized that he was hurting his friend and decided to risk his own health to save him from a dangerous blast, temporarily blinding his eye in the process.
