Hs is son of Mary-Anne Huds (born Nagi) and Jonathan Huds (2526). He is a pure-blood Lust magician from both of his parents, however he lived most his life believing his origins come from Pride, like his father's did. He was not aware of the deal they performed.

He is charismatic, outgoing, sociable and flirtatious by nature. He fucks around, not hiding his lack of commitment, and it's not in his nature to hurt his partners, so he goes out of his way to disclose this fact. His own feelings about romantic relationships are hard to understand by many, as he explains that he sees all his friends and lovers in the same light, and does not value one over other. He would spend the night with any of his friends, and would defend his partners like they were friends. He does not initiate romantic relationships, but will agree to them if people ask - as long as they don't insist he is monogamous.

He has eidetic memory - specifically able to remember written text and spoken word to the dot.

This has helped him significantly in school. Before, and even while he was training to be fighter with his father, he would "attend" elementary and specialized high school of his choice (technology and mechatronics), by reading the textbooks and showing up to all the tests.

In university, he chose both very difficult majors that were not even in same school, but one of them he actually attended classes for - cyber-mechanic. As for the doctor, he graduated this one the other way.

In certain events, having perfect recall of events can plague one's mind, especially one like John's (notably, his ADHD), but luckily for him, Lust magicians can control and enter minds - even their own. He kept it in check by magic - untrained magic, to be specific.

John never went out of his way to learn magic - he was not aware this was something he needed to do, seeing as his guardian did not bother. (Note: Jonathan also did not know) His magic was flimsy and self-taught, without any regulation or taking in account his own abilities, and would often drain him way more than powerful magician like he should endure (making the belief that he was only Pride magician all the more believable to him).

He abandoned fighting at age 19, when he graduated high school and stole most of Jonathan's money to attend university. However, after moving to Capital after uni, he found the release of adrenaline and stamina to be way too familiar and relaxing, and returned to it, by his own will. He never really worked as mechanic, but is capable in every way.

He found fighting to be a good stress and anger relief, and once or twice a week depending on if they can find partners for him, was not enough. He easily found his way into underground rings that were capable of rigging the ladder system and keep him ranking up on the ladder despite the matches not being official. He would attend a fight every day.

After finishing university, him and his best friend Leo moved to the Capital City, where he also met Harry. The two started dating, and John found that Jonathan owned a big house in the suburbs, which he managed to get ahold of, and move into.

Him and Leo would go to parties to get drunk and high pretty often, never hosted them but would be willing to do weekend trip across the ocean with the train. Harry rarely joined these, he did not enjoy drugs but got talked into it if there was music festival or another occasion.

Besides underground illegal fighting, he would be committing a taboo/illegal activity by often plugging his Mechanical Pets to his spine. This is not allowed for the risks of both damaging the brain, damaging his body, for the unnatural enhancements it provides, it can create both addiction and tolerance.

He did in fact get addicted, and after Jakey exploded and died, his new pet Hollow would not be able to replicate the effects.

Nearing the events of the War, he was almost unable to focus on anything or perform any important tasks without being jacked to his Pet.

Bears commonly associated with being intimidating and powerfully ferocious when provoked. They may also be depicted as calm, wise, and slow-moving when not angered. Sometimes lazy; so don't bother them when they're sleeping or hibernating. However, despite their fearsome reputations, bears are commonly depicted as being goofy, friendly gentle giants instead. (These all fit. Unfortunately he is a hunk after all of this)
St Anger is one of the songs I mostly associate with him and his relationship to Harriet. Second choice would've been No Jesus Christ, one I often made animatics in my head for him when listening to. ... Actually. Here's full playlist:

Might add some comments on the lyrics later. Don't worry the playlists only get shorter (don't look at Skadi)
