History: Jonathan Dillon was born in Astoria, Queens to a very broken Greek family. His mother, a crack addict, used her pregnancy with John as an excuse to extort money from his father. After he was born John’s mother left Astoria and left the child with his father. Whenever he laid eyes on the boy, Mr. Dillon was always reminded of his ex-wife’s incompetence and as such he has treated Dillon with the least amount of compassion. Dillon’s father eventually remarried and had two other kids. He constantly doted on them, but scarcely ever acknowledged John’s existence.
Never the less, John tried his best to make amends, and always tried his best to impress his father. John seized every opportunity for success, and excelled in athletic and literary classes. He would eventually attend NYU and meet his and best friend, Lucas, there. They started out as rivals in track, but soon became closer through their rivalry. The two were also writers looking for their big break and at that time they didn’t know how important their meeting would be to their future.
On a fateful investigation of a pet shop scam, Lucas stumbled upon a racketeering scheme tied to several prominent New York based crime organizations. Lucas took several incriminating photos and told John his plan to bring the crime syndicates to justice. However, John after being pressured by several groups, offered up Lucas for trade in exchange for his life. On the day Lucas was supposed to give his testimony, John (under the orders of the mafia) shot Lucas twice. Lucas’s testimony was lost and nobody was brave enough to testify afterwards.
John was never arrested for shooting Lucas because the mafia arranged for any witnesses to be “shut up”. John went on attending classes without the fear of arrest. However, several local crime families worried that John may eventually flip, so a price was put on his head. John got word of this and sought refuge from the mob in the arms of the FBI. He confessed his crimes and was promptly put in heavily guarded prison.
He thought he was safe there, but he became the subject of tests by the government. Too scared to protest publicly and be put back into the limelight, John cooperated with them. When he was released from prison and placed into the Witness Protection Program, John immediately tried to resume a normal life in San Francisco.
However the side effects of his testing began to emerge. While walking home one night, John was attacked by a local gang. When he resisted, he was shot with a shotgun. Almost immediately, John blacked out. When he awoke two hours later, he found himself inside a holding cell at a local police department. According to locals in his neighborhood, John somehow miraculously survived the gunshot wound and then proceeded to beat the gang members to death. Fortunately, John was able to get a light sentence in his trial. John was forced to attend anger management classes, and had to do several hours of mandated therapy.
During this time, Lucas fell into a coma and his family was at a loss as to what they should do with his body. A corporation known only as The Nomad Group, offered treatments that they believed would help him recover and awaken from his coma. The Shaws desperate to see their son healthy again, agreed without any hesitation. After two months of strange tests and experiments, Lucas awakened. Undaunted by his recent trauma, Lucas continued his studies at NYU and returned to normal life. John heard of this news, and skipped town, to return to New York. He was last seen trying to hitch a ride in Colorado.

Skills: John is an over-achiever. He’s never given his father any excuse to question his loyalty and usefulness. Because of his intense childhood, John has been very diligent in his studies. While both he and Lucas are both great writers in the making, John’s writing has often been more complex and thought provoking. Several of his essays have been published. He is also well recognized in the scientific community due to his intriguing pieces on society and psychology.
John has many other skills that he mastered in his fruitless attempts to please his family. John was the captain of the Astoria High School Track Team, one of the co-captains of the debate team, and was a part of his school’s Junior ROTC program. Of course, this all goes out the window when he gains a new persona….
Power(s): Due to the experiments he was subjected to while in prison, John has developed the ability to temporarily adopt a new persona when faced with an overwhelming amount of stress. Whenever he transforms into a new persona, John gains the abilities needed to deal with whatever stress he’s faced with at the cost of his memories and normal skills. No persona knows of the events that occurred while any other persona is in control, and vice versa. Each transformation only lasts until one hour after the current stress has ended.
Limits: When he transforms, John’s personality changes drastically to match the situation at hand. He won’t remember any events that occurred while any persona is in control, and the strengths and weaknesses of any given persona is out of his control. The abilities and look of each persona is tailored to whatever stress has triggered his transformation. At this point in time, he can’t actually control when the transformation occurrs or ends.
John lacks the ability to empathize with others due to his harsh treatment at a young age. He tends to always looks at the bigger picture without thinking out the little details, and can be very bossy to those beneath him. Despite his high standing in the scientific community, few people actuall like him.
Whew, that has got to be the longest app ever
