John

### Aliases

John goes by many aliases, such as 'Master Link', 'johnnyboi' and 'The Palladium', or sometimes just 'Palladium'. John is also sometimes referred to as "The reflection" by Andrew (Alternate), JJohn, and members of 46 Intel.

### Affiliation

John is friends with Jonathon, Sam, Levi, Charlie and Jackson Leyda, and a few others. Some temporary alliances include Andrew (Alternate), one of the rogue alternates who sided with John after turning against 46 Intel. John also has alleged ties with JJohn, the conspirator who nearly exposed 46 Intel's plot. The name similarities between these two is merely a coincidence. They are not alternates of one another.

## Appearances

### Debut

June 10th, 2016

John is a recurring character in the PCU and the first. He is a charming and persevering, yet also sarcastic and a little over the top. He is a centerpiece of the PCU who sees to the most challenging and epic showdowns of the whole saga.

### Origin

John begins his career as a gamer, recording Minecraft let's plays for his YouTube channel, but his story takes an immediate turn on June 11th, 2016, when he is suddenly visited by his future self, one from August 12th, 2020. This creates a paradox, allowing other Johns to emerge. In the midst of the chaos, a John from May 1st, 2022 emerges through a portal and explains to the other Johns of the coming of a third alien apocalypse. In an effort to reverse the horrible events of his time, the John of the future instructs the John of the present to put down any flying object with a space-time dilator contraption.

#### Alien Apocalypse and the Great Peace

At the dawn of the first alien apocalypse, he and his childhood friend, Lucas defend Earth from a plethora of alien invaders. This would set into motion a snowball of events, that would result in Lucas's eventual disappearance and a second alien apocalypse. Following this second apocalypse, times were peaceful, allowing John to take up the role of a news reporter and meteorologist for Channel 46 News.

#### Rise of 46 Intel and the Fall of Ben

In July of 2020, 46 Intel sets their plans into motion. Upon developing the technology to transcend into the Main Timeline, they send Jackson Leyda, a friend of **John**, a series of blackmail notes to get him to tell them where **John** lives. Jack obliges, but eventually turns against 46 Intel and intentionally misleads them. 46 Intel realizes the trail has gone cold, and they aren’t to be seen again for a while. In early 2021, John is visited by his old friend, Andrew, who, after growing weary of 46 Intel's plans, vows to destroy his arch nemesis Todd once and for all.

After Jonathon is suddenly hit by an alien laser during the third alien apocalypse, **John** attempts to undo the entire apocalypse by using the dilator to return to the past and warn his past self. In the the paradox preceding the apocalypse, the **John** of 2022 warns the **John** of 2016 of the first, second, and third alien attacks. He advises him to not invite Lucas over, and to use the dilator to send the aliens to the void. The plan is a success, and when **John** returns to the present, Jonathon is safe and sound at his house, and Lucas is once again alive and well.

By the events of Goodbye Then, John's old friend, Ben, has fully manifested in the physical world, at least appearance-wise. On the night of August 28th, we can witness Ben haunting **John**'s dreams, warning **John** of his own consternations. **John** is the one to finally confront Ben face-to-face, but Ben is quick to respond, temporarily entrapping **John** within the confines of his own mind. **John** outsmarts Ben, but before **John** lets his old friend die, Ben warns him that if **John** kills him now, his Consternations will be unleashed. Unwilling to listen to Ben's plea, **John** uses his willpower to thrust the Master Sword into the heart of Ben's physical manifestation, destroying it for good.

#### The Revenant

John later goes on to defend his timeline from the evil 46 Intel, and even takes them head-on in the True Ending.
