Editing Johnny Wu

[[AlphaOmega]]

'''Johnny Wu / Wu Jian Chang'''<br>
Air Aspect Terrestrial Exalted<br>
Rebel on the run

''A nervous seeming young Asian man. He is dressed conservatively, like a college student. He is mostly attired in black, except for his bright green plaid shirt. He stands about 5' 6" and wears sunglasses to cover his eyes. His most notable feature is his hair, it is black with white tips. It seems like he has been influenced by new fashion trends.''

==Motivation==
I wish to understand my Second Breath, and why others have also taken the Second Breath.<br>
(Understand the Exaltation. (His own and others))

==Anima==
An intense white and pale blue cloud formation surrounds Johnny suggesting a hurricane or typhoon. It moves as he does. The wind whirls about him making him more athletic and harder to stop or hold.

''Anima Power''<br>
An Aspect of Air can spend five motes to attune his anima to the winds. For the duration of a scene, the Exalt is surrounded by a swirling vortex of air, which functions as a weakened version of the Stormwind Rider spell. The Dragon-Blood may triple his leaping distance, and he takes no damage from falls, as gusts buoy him and slow his descent. Finally, the Dragon-Blooded may add his Essence to his Defense Value against Thrown and Archery attacks, as the winds buffet ranged weapons in order to protect their master.

His methods are often bizarre and cryptic, like making a child climb a rickety bamboo ladder to purge a fear of heights. It was Master Hong who first noticed Jian's superb aim with a thrown object. The old man taught Johnny martial arts, Zen philosophy and esoteric Asian profanity.

==History==
Born Wu Jian Chang in Hong Kong China, Johnny was the youngest son of a Wan Xian family. With little or no expectations since he was the youngest his family educated, housed, clothed and fed him. But no more. At the age of eighteen, Jian asked for and received permission to go to America. There he entered Harvard. While at Harvard enrolled in Sociology and Asian Studies, he began to realize his family was full of crap. It was his belief that the legends surrounding the Wan Xian families were either stupid stories or impossible dreams. He also developed a talent for baseball, darts and any other throwing games while at university. He is one of the best pitchers in Harvard history.

Until ''that'' day. Johnny was pub crawling around Boston late at night with some friends. They found a  bar. A vampire bar. It was all fun and games till the patrons started feeding on the mortals. Al Johnson was the first to die. Sucked dry in the men's washroom where a wise female kith had led the jock promising the time of his life. Next Sarah James, in the back booth where she had been flirting with the DJ. One by one the college students were picked off until only Johnny was left. One of the females tried luring him to a quiet spot. But had no luck. Then one of the males in a near frenzy attacked him. Though the leech was strong, somehow Johnny managed to resist. Then the maddened monster called his kin for aid. Soon every patron in the bar was slowly advancing on Johnny. In a flash of elemental fury as the vampires attacked in waves he found his power, and unleashed it on the dread monsters. The leeches never knew what hit them. Every object in the bar which could be thrown became a flying missile of death. When the carnage ended only the Asian remained standing. Johnny will always bear the scars of his first fight, impressive twisted tracks on his forearms, but the blood kin of those he had slain will always come for him. They would never stop till he was dead.

So Johnny took to the highways of America to escape the fury of the vampires. But as he does he keeps finding these new ''godlings'', these Exalted. As he does the indications are clear, the family stories of immortal gods and impossible feats must be true. Johnny only knows part of the tales but he knows the end. The Age comes to an end, and the gods are born into a new Age. The end of the world is coming.

==Personality==
Johnny is mostly a good natured goof ball. Currently he is a bit distracted and stressed by the pursuit of the vampires. He is highly impressed and slightly envious of the seemly free use that the others (Especially Sui Mae) make of their powers

==Merits and Flaws==

'''Free as the Wind 2'''<br>
Nothing can hold Johnny. He can escape all mundane restraints. If he spends the amount of essence equal to the strength of any magical bonds he can break those too.

'''Enemies 2'''<br>
The clan of the vampires that Johnny destroyed in Boston, the Brujah and their allies are chasing him. After the death of their Progenitor the Brujah have sworn undying hatred towards Johnny and his companions.

==Goals and Motivations==
Johnny's current goals are:<br>

'''One Day'''
Survive<br>
 
'''One Week'''
Survive, evade the Brujah for another week<br>

'''One Month'''
Survive, escape the Brujah completely, find allies<br>

'''One Year'''
Survive, escape the Brujah completely, find allies, understand why people are Exalting<br>

==Other Notes==
If Johnny was played by an actor he would be Jet Li. A similar character to the librarian he played in Black Mask.<br>

The actor who best represents Johnny's skill with thrown weapons is Colin Farrell as Bullseye.<br>
