❛❛ HAVE YOU EVER IRONICALLY SAID THE WORDS 'I'M SO DEAD' and had a random heart attack, or a piano fall on your head, or fallen down a set of stairs suddenly appearing at your feet and broken your neck, and suddenly, you find yourself in the afterlife? of course you haven’t. unless you happen to have an extremely unfortunate timing. or, i guess, fortunate, depending on how you look at it, because let’s face it, as far as last words go, that might be one of the cooler ones, if only because it’s so ironic… for me, it has happened surprisingly a lot. hi. i’m john.
this is where people usually ask how i got here. well... after they ask me if i’m god. i can understand the confusion, but no, i’m not.
i was born to two very normal, very human parents. and they thought that i was normal, too. until i learned to talk, that is. let’s just say i’ve given my parents a heart attack on several different occasions during my childhood because as a kid, you want a lot of things, and you want to experience a lot of things, and you have an incredible desire to explore as well as a great imagination. like, wanting to live on the moon, or having a dragon as a pet, even though dragons are pretty big, and you live in a small apartment in the middle of the city. the neighbors weren’t too happy about that one. not my parents, either.
still, life goes on, and you grow up, and you realize that when you can make everything you want to happen, happen, suddenly things become less interesting. so, you try your best to let things happen without your influence. but let me tell you; ordinary life… it gets pretty boring, too. it’s not like in the movies, or in the books, where there’s supervillains and superheroes and aliens and ghosts and monsters to start shaking things up a bit. no, it’s laura being annoyed at her friend jennifer for leaving her on read, and douchebag paul complaining about his wife to his pals. sure, you’ve got your friends, and you hang out from time to time, and you’ve got your job, and the rent to pay, but nothing ever really happens, you know?
that’s what i figured. so, i decided, if i wasn’t going to affect the world around me, i might as well travel. take myself someplace where the action is, where maybe i can do something good while having a good time doing it. i drop by home every now and then. makes sure i go back to the time and place when i last left. no one knows i’ve actually been gone for maybe a hundred years or so now, visiting new universes, new planets, new species, travelling through time, seeing the past and the future. dying a couple hundred times along the way. so, that’s my life. at least the short version of it, anyway. only time will tell what’ll happen next.
...unless i tell you first.
REALITY WARPING. john has the ability to change reality around him through the use of his words. basically, if he wants something to happen or not happen, if he wants something to appear or disappear, or change, he can just say it, and it will be so. this ability is more or less limitless, with only a few exceptions; one; he can’t change other people’s feelings or thoughts, just their physical state (e.g. he can tell someone to stop moving, or he can tell someone to do something, and they will, but that doesn’t mean they want to do or not do said things. he can also say something like ‘ they turned into a mouse’ and they will physically turn into a mouse, but they’ll still be a human in their minds and soul. not that he’d actually turn someone into a mouse, but just to give you an idea of what he can do with his powers. he also can’t say ‘they liked the movie and suddenly the person will like the movie if they didn’t like it before.) two; he can’t bring other people back from the dead once they’ve died. three; he can’t directly change people’s fates (e.g. he can’t say someone will die and they will. but if he says the area around them will be set aflame, he can indirectly kill them that way. again, not that he would.)
IMMORTALITY: john is not actually immortal per se. he can and has died a few times before. but in my canon for john, there is an afterlife, and he’s been there quite a few times, and it gets boring there after a while. his ability still works in the afterlife, so usually he’ll just use his powers to change reality to bring himself back to life again.
UNIVERSE- AND TIME HOPPING: with his ability to make anything he says happen (see next power), john has the ability to jump to different realities, universes and time periods if he wants.
