## History

### Childhood & Teenage Hood

John wasn't meant to be born, his mother Mary Anne had tried to abort the twin boys before they were born due to her husband and John's father Thomas Constantine but it was a failure, so when the birth came both Mary Anne and John's unborn twin died in the birth leaving John in the cruel "care" of Thomas who blamed the small baby for his own mistakes.

John was close with his older sister Cheryl Constantine and she acted as more a care giver then his father ever did so she was really the only person he'd follow the rules of. Even during the times their father was in jail they stuck together.

John learned that he had magic when he was still quite young and it was due to a fight John got in with another kid that ended when John set something near by on fire. One of the first things John did with his magic as a child was lock away his childhood innocence and vulnerability in a box and hide that box away to keep himself from being hurt any more.

Once he was a teenager he ran away from home after cursing his father which made Thomas withered and frail. He was on his own for awhile till he landed himself in London and became friends with Chas so started living with him.

### Punk Rocker

John was both in the underground occult scene of London but also the rock scene with his band Mucous Membrane although not popular they did make a few albums that got onto CDs, though at this point John owns all but a few of the CDs mainly because he doesn't people to be able to track down the old members of his band

### The Beginnings Of The Hellblazer

The Newcastle incident happened when John and his bandmates trying to get some money from a club, so they broke in and found the aftermath a magical orgy gone horribly wrong, A child had summoned a demon that killed all the adults that had been abusing her but then it wouldn't leave it was there when John and his band got there. John trying to play hero summoned another demon (Nergal) to take down the first one but failed to control it letting it drag that child away to hell.

After awhile of staying at a asylum and being abused by it both in normal and magical ways John was able to get out and went to the USA to learn more about magic so he could control it better so he wouldn't hurt people again.

He ended up in New York and decided to try to find a man by the name: Nick Necro who John had heard might be able to teach John more about magic so he tracked Nick down and while talking with him also met Zatanna Zatara and fell in love right away with both her and Nick. They were in a polycule together and during their time together they studied magic while dealing with threats like the Cult of the Cold Flame, before everything fell apart with the three they connected their souls together which to this day hasn't been undone.

Things fell apart when Nick started to become obsessed with the search for the Books of Magic along with him starting to feel that he was just a tag-along to John and Zatanna so Nick teamed up with the Cult of the Cold Flame.

John and Zatanna, after Zatanna had became pregnant with Zachary Zatara and John had caused a spell that went wrong and killed Giovanni Zatara, split up due to fights along with Zatanna being rightfully pissed at John

## Current Storylines

### The Search For Rose Constantine

Rose Constantine went missing after Crisis of Canon: Part 1, "she stopped existing" is what seemed the most likely till John Constantine disappeared into the Dark Multiverse, making it clear he was likely look for something- **someone**, Nick Necro & Maria Constantine go into the Dark Multiverse after John and hopefully Rose.

John had been able to after awhile of rest/having a pity party for himself find a new way to try to find Rose, one of her toys on that she had put a spell on was still around due to it having a spell on it so it couldn't go missing, with a hook to Rose's magic John was able to cast a spell to try to see where the rest of the magic was and saw it was in the Dark Multiverse. After seeing that his daughter was in so much danger he went right to work to get to her not even leaving a note on his way out.
