[edit] Biography
[edit] Early Life
As children, Johnny and James were best friends. However, when the Chimera emerged from Russia, their father rejoined the Royal Air Force. Johnny and James wanted to join their father and entered the RAF alongside him. Johnny became a pilot and James was a gunner. When their father got killed in combat, James began to have doubts about military service and left the RAF. When James returned home he fell in with his friends, who had become robbers and vandals. As a result, Johnny had to try and look after James and his mother whilst trying to serve his country.
One evening Johnny finally had enough of James' mischief. They had an argument and Johnny told James that he had to stop committing crimes with his friends, having heard from his friend Pete that the army was planning to put the cities on lockdown and crack down on crime. He banned James from cities where his friends had robbed and vandalized. James angrily retorted that Johnny never really care about his family, but always cared more about appearing like a hero. Johnny realized that James did not really know how badly the war was going in Europe and that humanity was on the brink of losing the entire continent. After the argument, James left home and joined a street gang due to his belief that Johnny was trying to control him.
[edit] War in Europe
A few days later Johnny was called to aid France, and his mother was put in the care of the Royal Air Force. When the war advanced to France, Johnny and his RAF squadron fought the Chimera and Johnny became a hero. He and his squadron flew 38 missions over Germany and Belgium. During this time, Johnny became friends with his gunner Ryan.
Johnny and his squadron volunteered for a high-risk mission over Berlin. Unfortunately, during the battle, his plane was shot down by a Chimeran Fighter. Johnny and Ryan survived, but they were presumed dead by the British Military. They were stuck 150 miles behind Chimeran lines. They slowly began to make their way back to the front, dodging Chimeran patrols and living off of what little food they could find.
After a week of moving back towards France, they encountered a group of mostly-German refugees who were unknowingly moving into Chimeran territory. Johnny and Ryan saved the civilians by joining the group and becoming its de-facto leaders. However, as they brought the refugees back towards France, one refugee disobeyed an order from Johnny and set a fire during the night, attracting Chimeran patrols. The disobedient refugee was killed, as was Ryan. Johnny was able fight off the Chimera patrol. Feeling guilty over the deaths of Ryan and the refugee, he brought the refugees back to France. They were brought to the relative safety of Dunkerque, where they were to be evacuated, although Johnny stayed behind to help the Maquis try to destroy the tunnels the Chimera were digging under the English Channel. The mission was a failure: the Chimera were able to dig under the English Channel and break into London. Subsequently, Johnny returned to England to battle the Chimera. On the flight to London he briefly met Rachel Parker.
[edit] Battle of London
When Johnny returned to England, he once again volunteered for a high-risk mission - this time over London. Before going, he saw James one last time. James was in hospital, after being wounded while saving his squad from a Titan. Johnny told James that while doing this he disobeyed a direct order and that he read his bootcamp record and come to the conclusion that James was as self-centered and irresponsible as ever. He encouraged James to shape up and stop being rebellious. The conversation turned into an argument and Johnny left.
Shortly afterward, Johnny went on his dangerous mission over London. During the flight, Stalkers shot down his plane. Johnny survived the crash, but was captured and taken to a Conversion Center, where he was infected by the Chimeran virus. He was 'saved' by his brother and a squad of soldiers, but when they learned that he was infected, James gave Johnny a mercy killing. Shortly afterward, James had an emotional breakdown, abandoned his squad, and developed a personal vendetta against the Chimera. James's anger over his brother's infection led him to destroy twenty-six Conversion Centers across Britain.
[edit] Trivia
Even though Jonny was older than James, he was probably not as skilled in combat as his brother since James was a Lieutenant and Jonny was a Sergeant.
