## Overview

John is one of the main characters. This guy uses magic as his weapon. He is almost a capable long range

 File:John f.png  fighter. He is also somewhat fair in short range fights. But his punches (or rather staff smashes) are long and can give a little bit advantage in hand-to-hand combat. He is the weakest in medium ranged combat with the most major flaw being his speed in preparing energy attacks. But if he has enough distance and time, and has quick minds, he can be deadly worth playing.
