* Pre-Calamity
* Eldrigora Corruption

John is the older brother of the titular Jacob Zielinski, and an infamous drug dealer, and the owner of the Milwaukee Record Store (in order to cover up his drug dealing side business). John cares deeply for his little brother, and treats him like a son. Because of this, John keeps his status as a drug dealer secret to Jacob, as he's scared of the fact that if Jacob finds out, that might ruin their relationship they have as brothers.

## Personality

John is similar to his brother Jacob in terms of comedy. John is known for being very light-hearted and comedic, not afraid of throwing (sometimes cheesy) one-liners and jokes whenever he can. John even sometimes pulls pranks on people with his brother. He uses his quick wit and charm to divert attention from his status as a drug dealing, creating a persona that is both endearing and enigmatic.

Despite his involvement in the drug trade, John has a profound and genuine love for his brother, Jacob. This affection is a stark contrast to his involvement in illegal activities, revealing a complex and multifaceted personality. John's care for Jacob is unwavering, and he goes to great lengths to ensure his brother's well-being and safety, shielding him from the darker aspects of his own life. This dichotomy highlights John's ability to compartmentalize his life, balancing his illegal dealings with a genuine sense of responsibility and protection toward his brother.

## Abilities & Technology

### Abilities

#### Chemistry Knowledge

John is very intelligent in the field of chemistry, which is helpful due to being a drug dealer.

#### Multilingualism

John is able to speak multiple languages, those being:

* Polish (first language)
* English
* Italian

#### Expert Combatant

Pretty self-explanatory, John is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, about as skilled as his brother is.

### Technology

Due to having no innate powers, John depends on high-tech gadgets for special abilities that way.

#### Nanite Swarm Manipulator (NSM)

The NSM allows John to control a swarm of nanites that can reshape matter at the molecular level. This grants the power to instantly heal injuries, create and manipulate objects, and even transform his appearance.

##### Applications of the NSM:

* Instant Healing: The NSM allows the user to heal injuries, wounds, and ailments instantly by sending nanites to repair damaged tissues and cells.
* Shape-Shifting: The user can alter their physical appearance by rearranging the nanites, changing their clothes, appearance, or even mimicking other individuals.
* Object Creation: The NSM can be used to create objects and tools by assembling nanites into various forms, which can be incredibly useful in emergency situations.
* Matter Manipulation: The user can manipulate matter at the molecular level, allowing for the reshaping of physical objects, including turning one object into another.
* Superhuman Strength: The NSM can temporarily enhance the user's physical strength by reinforcing their muscles with nanites.
* Enhanced Durability: Nanites can reinforce the user's body, making them more resistant to damage and physical harm.
* Environmental Adaptation: The user can adapt to extreme environmental conditions, such as surviving underwater by forming a protective bubble of nanites for breathing.
* Invisibility: By dispersing the nanites in the air, the user can achieve a form of invisibility by bending light around themselves.
* Enhanced Senses: The NSM can improve the user's sensory perception by modifying their eyes, ears, or other sensory organs with nanites.
* Poison and Toxin Neutralization: The nanites can neutralize poisons and toxins in the user's body, providing immunity to many harmful substances.
* Nanite Reconnaissance: The user can deploy nanites for surveillance and information gathering, with the ability to transmit data back to the user's consciousness.
* Flight: The NSM can enable limited flight capabilities by creating wings or propulsion systems from the nanites.
* Energy Absorption and Redirection: The NSM can absorb and redirect various forms of energy, such as heat or electricity, for offensive or defensive purposes.
* Psychic Defense: The NSM can protect the user's mind from psychic or telepathic attacks by forming a barrier or altering brain chemistry.

## Weaknesses

### Electromagnetic Pulses

EMP waves could disable John's tech, preventing him from using powers until they begin to work again.

### Human Limitations

Despite being powerful in his own right, Jacob is still human, and has the weaknesses of any other human.
