Name: John Egbert Current location: Asphodel. Current Physical Appearance: When puberty hit John, it hit John like a ton of bricks. He's tall. 6' or 6'1". Nowhere near as tall as Time God Dave is, but he makes up for it by showing off the fact that it isn't just good ecto-genetics that he's able to swing around sledgehammers like they don't weigh anything at all. He's pretty thick, and his resistance work has kind of turned him into a built tank of sorts. His left eye - due to a hassle when escape happened - was replaced with a synthetic one, which he lets the more robotic types in the resistance check on every now and again. He keeps it patched up whenever he gets a chance to hit up Sacrosanct. He still wears the god tier ensemble, but ripped the sleeves off long ago. He's got a few rips and tears - luckily immortality rules are fairly vague in these circumstances. Summary: When the end came, John wasn't ready for it, but he was bound and determined to make sure as many of his friends saw their way off as he could. Hypatia managed to snag him once in the beginning, deciding "oh hey, I remember when you had robot eyes!" And replaced one with a synthetic. He managed to escape and regroup with the resistance during an early raid, and refuses to tell anyone he doesn't have to. Karkat knows, but only because of an altercation the two of them had.
Work-wise, he's the Resistance's go-to everyman. Whether it be labor or needing quick defenses or skirmishes, John is ready and willing to lend a hand. He's probably the most support oriented out of the resistance's Bullshit God Gang. He's just as determined as Dave to get his Space Dog Cyborg God Sister back, but he's also been keeping up morale and doing needed supply runs, the things that keep their war against Hypatia moving. He's joined battle a few times - especially when there's rumors that Jade might be there, and he can be a reckless hothead - ten years of resistance will do that to you - but he's still John, and he's still trying to get everyone home safe.
The loss of his alternate counterpart hit him hard, and since then, John has been redoubling his efforts to help everyone. There's many nights he's sitting there with one of his many hammers, sustained only by coffee and his own, occasionally lonely thoughts. He isn't going to give up until they've won. He kind of tries to look out for everyone as a whole, a weird father figure to the family they've established at times. It's not really much and he doesn't really come off as fatherly more than frienderly, but it's what he feels he needs to do.
