A tall skinny-lanky man with fluffy brown hair and purple eyes. He has purple and brown alternating slashes painted from his jawline across his cheeks. He dresses in tan bondage pants, a dark brown bomber jacket, and a set of purple-lensed goggles. He paints his nails - which are sharpened into almost talons - chocolate brown.

Coloration and Cockpit:
Johnny's structure and lances are dark, chocolate brown, and his armor is tan-brown. His accent armor, canopy, optics and claws are purple. His inside upholstery is worn, velvety purple with fuzzy dice tacked to the ceiling.


Personality:
Johnny sees himself as all that and a bag of chips. He drips confidence, and expects things to go the way...well, that he expects things to go. He's friendly, not very competitive, and almost lazy. He also thinks he can sing - this is a blatant lie.

One bizarre facet of his personality is a strong masochistic streak. He seems to enjoy getting blown up, lit on fire, broken snapped and twisted, almost too much. The more the battle hurts, the more fun he's having.

History:
Sophie found Johnny in disrepair a few weeks after Dowry's demise, going for the measly price of $1,000 on the used Zoids market. His original body was a Shadow Fox, but Sophie only managed one battle before deciding Foxes weren't for her.

She came into a large amount of money in the War, and - upon returning - bought Johnny a new body: a modified Hound Soldier, brand new from the factory. Johnny's core and personality were transplanted to the Hound, and now he's even more insufferably arrogant. As a Fox he had originally had tan armor and red optics, claws and details, something Sophie carried over into Johnny.

During Sophie's first battle with him, she discovered something alarming. Johnny got in the way of an Energy Liger's horn, which pierced through the grenade launcher and blew both fighters up. Johnny wasn't as displeased as he should have been, but Sophie shrugged it off. Everyone has strange days now and then, right?

 Or...yanno, wrong. D:

The second battle ended with Johnny blowing both himself and his opponent up. The third ended with a HIBA attack piercing his chest. No complaints. But it wasn't until Hollow - Sophie's unwitting nemesis - snapped Johnny's back that she realized that the Hound actually liked this mess. JOY. There was some confusion about how to handle things, until Sophie decided on her normal method: go with the flow.

The first Tango battle resulted in a decapitation. Sophie hired her younger brother to fix the damage, and is convinced something...off happened during the time there, as all of Johnny's accents - optics, claws, cockpit glass - were changed from red to purple, as did Johnny's avatar's looks, but she hasn't been able to figure out what yet. Johnny's masochistic streak can only continue...

Which it did, rather dramatically, in the Grindhouse Organoid Competition. Not accepted as Canon, we'll just call it a Really Fun Dream for the bad doggy.
