Johnny Viper is a character played by DonBr0.

## Early Life

Johnny grew up a son to an extremely brutal father 'Big John Viper', in his young years he would watch his mother beaten and scared regularly, at the age of 4 his mother would finally gather the strength she needed to leave. She left a life of brutal beatings and psychological mauling's,

she also left Johnny behind in her stead... He would never lay eyes on her again

The Boy was not unused to the regular drunken bouts his father get into, and was on more than one occasion bound and beaten bloody and barely hanging on.

Though Viper will talk about this readily there is still great swathes of his history untold and unknown

Even though his history is spotty he has always been clear on a few things

- "I just wanna leave this place better than i found it"

- "I carry The Viper name so i can put a better spin on it.."

## Life in New Alexandria

Johnny was Born to new Alexandria to the dusty streets of Tumbleweed

Left alone a lot as a child, and showing a keen mind even then he learned the power of the spoken word, often using it to cheat folk out of a meal to eat that day, or to feed his fellow 'streetrat' friends who never knew when the next meal was coming.

Eventually he grew older and his unique tactical mind was spotted by various gang's, and the young viper would fall (like so many before him) into a life of petty crime. He had to leave The county in his 20's but has never uttered why,

He returned from time to time over the next few decades now working as a bounty hunter, his hunts were so precise that he became synonymous with the deputies and criminals alike for going and working ***where they couldn't*** .

Even though he was known for this in certain circles he assured his name was never given and credit never taken, to this day whole investigations have been accredited to deputies while almost the entirety of the work and evidence has been gleaned by Johnny.

As a hunter he was also known amongst the criminal aspect as someone who would if he saw you had a code, at times turn a blind eye or go so far as to protect you and yours from detection/persecution, if not then he would engage freely in the chase. But he would always make contact openly first and be there to listen, but his judgement was always his own, if you were a bully you may never be heard from again, if you were a victim of circumstance you could find yourself a new home and name with 200 dollars in your pocket. He was a hunter who didnt care about the money , a rarity.

Dropped the hunting life after he met and fell in love with what was to be his future bride Dr. Clementine Scott, he knew his movements may draw danger to her and ever careful decided protecting her far outweighed his career

She introduced him to her friends who are all proud founders of The trail, an eclectic group of settlers who's loyalty's are to one another's survival and wellbeing above all else.

He married Clementine at a ceremony with their friends at Braithwaite Manor, Their Marriage was unfortunately cut short to complications with her pregnancy, she was out of state at the time of her death

Through his wife's deep love of therapy and medicine Viper picked up some of her books on the matter, learning quickly that much of the tactics he employed when hunting or information gathering helped him to have a deep understanding of a field he had never considered before,

After much study of the European experts in the field Viper found a new way to help with his unique mind and it's skillset

Opening the Clementine Grove Mental health and wellness facility in her name outside of St.Denis, where he works to this day helping the hurting people of New Alexandria who have been largely unseen until now.

He lives with the trail and will protect them before all else, though he keeps them on a straight and narrow course (while protecting their individuality) as best he can.
