Johnny (Guilty Gear)

How Johnny joined the Tourney
Johnny was heavily influenced by his father, a noble man always eager to help those in need, caring for anyone who might enter their home, even strangers. When Johnny was young, his father was killed by a Gear. Johnny was left orphaned, the loss of his father paining him deeply. Through this loss, Johnny grew to know the pain of loneliness, of a world without love, yet he was not consumed by revenge, nor did he develop a hatred of the Gears. Instead, he was inspired by the example with which his father had left him. Through this example, he realized that love is something which must be given, not only desired, and he resolved to follow in his father's footsteps by helping those less fortunate, be they Man or Gear. He founded his band of Sky Pirates, and began running his Robin Hood operation aboard a stolen hover-carrier later re-named the Mayship. The majority of the Jellyfish Pirates are orphans whom Johnny adopted and raised, among them May, the namesake of the pirates' airship. May harbors very strong feelings for Johnny, viewing him as both a father and brother figure, and even as a boyfriend.

Though the extent is uncertain, Johnny is known to have "connections" ,to Ky Kiske, as well as Gabriel. In Accent Core, it appears he is acquainted with Crow in some way.

After curing May's headache, Johnny learns of Boblins mysteriously popping up in Illyria. Johnny first begins to suspect a little girl named Beth.

Bacchus Sigh (Down)
Creates a mist at Johnny's location that slowly travels forward for a few seconds. If the mist gets close enough to the opponent, it attachs to the opponent for ~7 seconds, and forces the next Mist Finer that makes contact with the opponent to be unblockable.

Treasure Hunt (Hyper Smash)
Johnny takes off his hat and glows with a golden aura, then cuts through his opponent with a very quick and devastating slash, and regains two coins if he hits.

Joker Trick (Final Smash)
Based on his Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- Instant Kill. Johnny readies his sword saying "Get out of here!" If he hits, a cinematic plays where Johnny throws the Joker card to the opponent, follows after as it latches onto the opponent. After cutting the card and the opponent, nothing appears to happen at first, but when Johnny sheathes his sword, the opponent dies. Johnny then says "You got tricks up your sleeve, now's the time."
