**Johnny** is a playable Family member. He is part of the original quintet of Family members that released with the game. He first appeared Petals.

## In-game bio

Raised by "Black" Nancy, Johnny's the closest thing to a traditional serial killer the family has. A predator in every sense, he's cold, narcissistic, and relentlessly brutal. Johnny takes immense pleasure in stalking and studying his prey before finally overpowering them. His Hunt ability is a direct reflection of this. With a high Savagery and Endurance rating, not many live to tell about it. The numerous scars that litter his arms and torso serve as a grim reminder of this chilling truth.

## Story

Johnny's birth mother was murdered by "Black" Nancy when he was young. Nancy immediately adopted him after the fact, and in mirror of herself, raised him to be cruel and vicious.

In the summer of 1972, Johnny broke into the house of three female college students in Pflugerville, Texas. After strangling one of them to death, he discovered the presence of her two roommates sleeping nearby, and attempted to stab them both. Johnny fled the scene after the two women fought back, injuring the left side of his face in addition to stabbing his left shoulder. The incident has gained much publicity in the local community as a result of there having been no arrests made in the case.

Johnny is a direct cause of the disappearance and death of Maria Flores during her wildflower photography trip in the spring of 1973, stalking and deliberately frightening her until she ended up at the front steps of the Family House.

## Personality

Johnny is narcissistic, sadistic, and manipulative. He enjoys playing with his food, and can often be heard taunting the Victims in his voice lines.

Johnny has a muscular build, and is described to have an attractive face. He wears his hair slicked back, and has several scars on his person, most notably one running down the left side of his face from his scalp to his cheekbone, and one on his left shoulder. He wields a skinner knife that was gifted to him by Grandpa.

## Abilities

**Hunt** allows Johnny to inspect "clues" on the ground in the form of footprints left behind by moving Victims. Upon inspection, the ability highlights the target Victim's most recent path of movement, allowing the player to track them to their destination. Victims crouching and moving at the slowest speed possible do not leave footprints.

Johnny can close crawlspaces, barge doors, and use ladders. He is unable to break barricades, traverse gaps, or use crawlspaces.
