Bullfrog Johnson:

[Gigamonsta]

FULL NAME: Johannes Avery Johnson

NICKNAME(S): Bullfrog Johnson (he legally changed it to this), "That lazy bum!", "Jackass," "Drunken Lout," "The Wall," "Frog," "You Hero! (eh...not often...but it happens....)"

AGE: 35 -40

BIRTH DATE: With this guy....who really knows exactly when he was born.

GENDER: Male...definitely male...

POSITION: Marine Engineer


NOTABLE TRAITS: Green beard, tall, dark eyes, distinct smell of whiskey, LOUD, deep laugh....

PERSONA: loud, boisterous, anti-authoritarian.

HISTORY: In an age of advanced spaceships, medical technology that is like magic, and laser weaponry, it is stunning to see a creature that has withstood the test of time. Long beard rollin', tall-tale stories of growing up in the South flowin', Bullfrog Johnson appears to have slept in a cave for God-knows-how-long and woken up like Rip van Winkle. Fond of telling his teammates stories, he usually garners more confusion than praise. Did he really hunt wamp-rats in Alabama swamps? Did he actually punt a football over a small Appalachian mountain? Wrestle gators in Florida? Fist fight space lizards? Sell knives as a door-to-door salesman to finance his dreams of space travel?! Hike the whole Appalachian Trail? Wait! What the hell is a wamp-rat anyways?!

The more important question about Bullfrog is not how he became a marine so much as it is how in the hell he has not been thrown out yet. With legendary resiliency, Bullfrog has somehow managed to stay in the marines for years. This includes withstanding attempts to give him the royal boot on several occasions. Nonetheless, Bullfrog's swagger, passion for booze, and disregard for authority, have often made him a frequent occupant of a certain hotel on various Nanotransen vessels....namely, THE BRIG!!!

Yet he has his endearing qualities. He can stand up for causes he sees as just (something his superiors do not always approve of...especially when it is directed at them) and certainly will stand firm in battle (when sober). His much lamented belligerence can often cause him to take a firm stand in battle and his teammates find much to admire in his just pursuit on behalf of those he sees as oppressed or maligned.

Bullfrog was finally transferred to the Sulaco by his superiors after a rather unpleasant spate of garrison duty. Apparently his former superiors came to the conclusion that his engineering skills would be perfect for a "promotion" to the new (and rumor has it fatal) mission being assembled to investigate the Nostromo. Will this be Bullfrog's chance at redemption? Only time will tell....
RELATIONS: He apparently was close with his mother and his sister as well as numerous other oddballs met along his many adventures.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual, but repeatedly has made claims that he could date an alien if they were discovered.

LOVE INTEREST: No one right now.....a lot of strange stories of different girlfriends he had (allegedly)

BASIC APPEARANCE: Green Beard, tall frame, husky, long brown hair.


DISLIKES: lack of alcohol, injustice, mean-spirited people, authority figures who glorify themselves at the expense of others; wamp-rats (his arch enemy, by far), and alligators.

FEARS: Having to actually do real work.

LIKES: Good food, whiskey, shotguns, anything mechanical or electrical, "rastlin' up the critters," and messing with people in general.

STRENGTHS:
Good team player when motivated, keeps things interesting (to put it mildly), ridiculousness can be amusing; will also take leadership roles when he feels it is needed.

EDIT: As a side note please do not think of my character as some griefing mutineer or all-around dick. Definitely not going for that in game.
