John Smith

John Smith is that guy whose family defends the cosmos from evil and stuff. He's a Protector Aasimar with a penchant for being surprisingly good with people, but is also unfortunately unavailable almost any time that those talents would come in handy.

## Personality

John generally lives up to the Canderan stereotypes of being overly loud, friendly, and lacking any concept of personal space. When he sees people that are feeling down, his first instinct is to try and comfort them, even if he has no idea what they're going through. John's first approach to conflict is to talk things out, but if that doesn't look like it's at all possible he will waste no time in putting himself on the frontlines.

That being said, John's idealism works against him as much as it does for him. When there's a conflict that can't simply be talked out, he has problems dealing with not being able to do anything. Avoidance can be a bit of a crutch that he leans on, intentionally or not, and his bullheaded ignorance of circumstances can hurt as much as it can help.

Many of John's ideals come from what he's witnessed in his own family, who act as the mysterious Masked Heroes of Candera. Once upon a time, John's grandfather advised him to "be like the sun," shining and bringing light and warmth to all.

## Pre-Campaign

John's family is known for having some sort of inherent ability to them that allows them to manifest certain abilities once awakened. These take the form of suits of armor, weapons, and the motorcycles that are their trademark. However, awakening isn't an easy thing. It requires moments of immense and genuine stress, to the point where most family members would honestly prefer that nobody awakened ever again. Nevertheless, the awakenings continue, and the family does its best as a whole to ensure everyone is as prepared as possible for when they inevitably spread out to perform vigilante hero work.

John is no exception. He lived a generally ordinary life with his family in one of the largest Canderan cities. His father is an ordinary salaryman, while his mother is a highschool teacher who moonlights as a Masked Rider. The last member of his immediate family is his little sister, Sophie.

Since then, John has spent most of his time learning Kiokan and preparing himself academically and personally for a transfer to a Kiokan school.

Upon arriving, he was taken in by the heads of the Kaneko Conglomerate, who have been the strongest supporters of John's family since their respective starts. He had been friends with their son, Yamakawa Kaneko, since their births, and the family as a whole are all friends. They've taken it upon themselves to start John's training in earnest now that he has finally managed to transfer to a Kiokan school.
