Johnny Rain

sometime in the far future, Johnny Rain was part of a group of flamelinkers, acting as their versatile allrounder and party face. When they eventually made their way to the kiln of the flame, they were faced by Vorm the Gaint, the previous linker. While his allies fought the giant, John snuck past during the commotion, attempting to link the flame while be behemoth was distracted. The flame did not take kindly to this, denying him as a worthy successor, turning him to ash. Years further still, in the era of DS3, he was resurrected as an unkindled being called to attempt to link the flame once more. Johnny, to say the least, was not thrilled with the situation, and while he did assist in the fight against Ludex Gundyr, he shortly after decided to forge his own path, ignoring the flame all together. With him on this divergent path came Locke, who he became quite close with over time. eventually, they came across a strange, well guarded portal. not well guarded enough to stop them, however. they crossed through, and found themselves in a new, strange land.

### present in the past

upon getting their bearing, they traveled north towards the reagen where Locke's ancestors called home. On their way, they came across a viking crew; and with some bargaining, threats of violence, bribery, and some actual violence, they managed to join them. They went on a great deal of raids with the group, Johnny's skill getting him elevated to the position of a Beserker, even though his fighting style had little to do with getting angry, and more to do with enraging his opponents. even serving when war broke out between the vikings and Lordran. while all was well at first, them even successfully raiding Anor Londo, their commander was killed by Lordran forces during a sneak attack, along with half of their forces. Not one to go out so easily, Johnny convinced the attacker to take them as prisoners, and eventually to have them as soldiers in a new branch of Anor Londo's Military. as of yet, Johnny is serving as head of the vikings that are under Anor Londo's authority, and strategic advisor to princess Ignis.

## Personality and Traits

keeping a relaxed in most situations, he's confident his capabilities can pull him through any situation he gets himself into. This isn't to say he's above running away or pulling a fast one, rather that he's confident that he'll always find a way to beat the odds. This confidence doesn't come from arrogance however, but from his analytical thinking; whenever in combat, Johnny is constantly looking for methods of improving his odds, wetehr that be through insults, flattery, pocket sand, retreat, or using his environment.
