Johnathon isn't a big talker. He likes things quiet, civil and as calm as possible. He's usually a solitary person, hangs by himself reading, gardening or just sitting and thinking, and occasionally can be caught lurking in the shadows in the most unsuspecting of places. Not that he's trying to be creepy or anything, his curiosity just gets the better of him, and he likes to overhear some conversations. Nothing perverted, and he's not really spying, it's just something that he enjoys, makes him see others in different lights.
Having raised himself, Johnathon rarely asks others for help or depends on others for any basic needs he may have. He also finds psychiatrists to be full of crap, and hates when his friends try to get him to talk about his problems. He'd much rather just tend to his plants and work out his issues with them. Mostly because plants rarely judge you. He enjoys nature immensely, and takes weekly hikes through the woods around the school, finding solace in the trees and plants.
While he appears solitary by nature, he does have a softer under belly. He's quite friendly if you take the time and have the patience, to get to know him, and will help anyone who seems to need a hand. He especially enjoys the notion of "tough love" and will be a hard ass on students who give him a tough time. Along with plants, he has a huge soft spot for animals and keeps a penguin as a pet in his room. The only person in the world he loves more then plants: Waddles.
And like all men, John has a bit of a superiority complex. When angered he gets to be a little arrogant and cocky, and especially when someone's deliberately trying to prove him wrong, he gets a little out of control with his words and actions. Not to say he goes around throwing things at people or yelling random cuss words at strangers, he just grows red in the face and makes sure you know that he's upset.
As a side note, John hates drama, hates being near it or in it, and wants to put every so called Drama Queen on a boat and send them to the Bermuda Triangle.

Johnathon grew up with an abusive father. As a toddler his mother decided to leave and left John behind as a punishment for his father. Unfortunately, this didn't make things any easier for John, and his father began to abuse him in place of his mother. At a young age he picked up smoking and drinking, earning the title of "Bad Boy" by the time he reached high school. He wasn't much for fighting or causing commotions, but he did have an air about him that made him seem untouchable and a mystery to every one he went to school with.
He wasn't much for academics, and spent most of the time at school out in the soccer field. His school had a small wooded area just behind it, that was blocked off by a mesh wire fence. John would spend countless hours out there, just smoking and watching the plants grow. It wasn't long before he discovered his gift, his unique ability to control and create plant life. At first he was a bit freaked out by it, unsure of what he was doing exactly, but after awhile he began to enjoy it. Loving the fact that he had some control in his life.
At eighteen, he dropped out of high school and left his abusive home to go somewhere where he could start over. He traveled by hopping rail cars, from one city to the next, and without any money in his pocket he was forced to use his ability to create plant life that would give him sustenance. In one particular town, Johnathon had a run in with a group of people he had never encountered before. An organization called the Hunters.
While scrounging for loose change in an alley, Johnny walked up on what appeared to be a mugging. But after staring stupidly at the kid throwing large slabs of concrete towards the people with guns, he knew he wasn't the only one out there with an unique ability. After that encounter Johnathon tried to find a place to set his roots down (no pun intended), when he came across an elderly woman at a diner. She spoke with John for a long time, paying for his meal and offering him a place to live.
Which was, of course, Masquerade Academy. Johnny was brought on as the Botany teacher at the school, and the elderly woman was working as the astrology teacher and offered him guidance on how to control his ability.

`` ABILITY/POWER
Plant Manipulation He can, with nothing more than a thought, create plant life almost anywhere he wishes too. As long as there is dirt, there will be plants. Usually he just creates plants to make an area more leafy, and spends hours on end talking and tending to the plants he creates. But, if need be, he can create plants to harm another person. Or at least tie them up, and distract.
