Background

Origins

Johnny started his life from the pages of the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comic books by Jhonen Vasquez. In the series he's allowed himself to fall into the life of an almost mechanical madman under the control of his own inner voices, or so you're led to believe. Johnny discovers over the course of the series that two of the major voices in his head, a pair of painted Styrofoam Doughboys, are actually being controlled by an outside force. He also discovers his duty as a flusher to a Waste Lock - a metaphysical storage unit for the byproduct of human emotional waste. His mind, deluded and controlled by this negatively charged sludge, is forced to a breaking point wherein the Waste Lock is opened and that raw emotions is freed in a seething mass of teeth and tentacles only to be purged along with existence itself and restored from a backup copy. During this reboot time he gets to visit Heaven and Hell, only to learn that he's not wanted anywhere, and returns to life only to find himself disgusted with how his life had fallen apart and preparing to leave.

List of Johnny's Inner Voices

Neo Tokyo

Where the pages ended, his story begins. Johnny found himself taking the money from the rotting corpses of his victims and booking a plane ticket at random just to get away and try to start over again. His destination is altered by an unseen force as he finds himself arriving at an airport in Neo Tokyo, a fractured city existing across multiple realities. There he tried to fall back onto old habits only to be stopped by a fighter named Terry Bogard who offered to show him a new way to live if he could refrain from killing people. For the next two years he indeed found a new life for himself and lived in relative peace, aside from the occasional attempts by his inner voices to lead him astray once more.

Metropolis

A disaster brought his new found home to a violent end, causing many of the city's citizens to wash up on the shores of a similar world in the wastelands of a city called Metropolis. There he met the daughter of his friend Terry for the first time, a mercenary for hire named Samantha Li-Bogard. With Terry still missing he decided to honor his friend's memory by watching over Samantha and protecting her until they could be reunited - a task which quickly proved to be a greater challenge than he'd ever imagined.

Samantha's unique physiology combined with Johnny's slowly developing abilities created by abusing his Waste Lock led to the two of them getting the attention of Cassandra and Benedict, pair of warring deities in need of hosts. Samantha was first chosen by the Goddess Cassandra as a pseudo vessel of good, leaving Johnny being taken in by the Demon Benedict who gave the maniac a pair of specially crafted black-bladed daggers known as the Daggers of Dread and the knowledge of how to use them to magnify his new Waste Lock-based abilities.

In the lengthy battle that followed, Samantha was killed and used as a new host for Benedict only to leave a broken Johnny C. to believe she was the real Sammy and be forced to take her life. With the involvement of the Goddess Diaduin Emepherea, Johnny was taken to a new world where he was told Samantha would be brought back to life leaving the maniac dedicating himself to waiting for her return.

Chronos

What Johnny had failed to understand was the fact that he was technically dead. His body was left behind after the fight with Benedict and Cassandra - ironically destroyed by Samantha's actions. With Emepherea's influence, he and Emi brought life to the world they had found themselves on and had sat to watch it grow - for centuries. The world became known by it's people as the planet Chronos, aptly named as it would become host to a planet-eating beast, labeled LaVos by the citizens of that world, which could disrupt the flow of time with its presence causing gateways to appear across the planet's lifespan.

With Johnny and Emi's guidance from the shadows, the threat of LaVos was defeated by a band of adventurers who had learned to take control of the timegates. However, with time fractured by the beast, alternate timelines began to converge and wash the planet in chaos. Frustrated with both the state of the world and Samantha's continued absence, Johnny used the Dread Daggers to cut a rift into the border between Chronos and the rest of the multiverse and escape...

Twisted

The new world Johnny found himself in was that of Twisted, a multiverse hub where all planes of existence seemed to intersect. Making this his new home, the maniac began to see more and more of his past acquaintances and even his old house make their way onto Twisted with him. At this point though, his need to protect Samantha had become an obsession he couldn't shake off. No longer entirely convinced if she was real or not, Johnny began to react violently to their mutual friends and even at one point used Samantha former lover Sun Amnariss to create a 'shadow clone' in the catgirl's image.

Under the unwanted actions of Caliga Satanas Johnny was brought back to life, having his memories temporarily erased to a point prior to arriving at Neo Tokyo in the process. He couldn't even remember Samantha even when she found herself in the process of being brought back to life only to once again seemingly be killed at his hands. The shock of which brought him out of his amnesia and sent him on a violent rampage pausing only to throw the clone of Samantha, now calling herself Tabitha, off of Twisted and sealing her away into a pocket world to keep himself from killing her as well. Tabitha's parting realization was that Johnny wasn't acting out of friendship anymore, he was acting out of love.

By the time Samantha and Johnny crossed paths again, Johnny had been given a seat on Senior Diablo's Hell Council. His new duty was to decide the punishment of the dammed souls passing through the demon city of Dis, and it was a job he did enthusiastically. Indeed the maniac's warped mental state made him the perfect judge of the dammed, giving him a reputation that made him feared even by some of the citizens of Hell itself. With his friend at his side again and things going so well for him, it was only a matter of time before it all came crashing down once more.

In trying to make amends for his past actions, Johnny took Samantha to see Tabitha and to free the girl from the world he'd banished her to. However the very moment the trio stepped foot on Twisted again, Tabitha plunged the second of the twin Dread Daggers into Samantha's heart - ending her life once and for all. Unable to take action against the living image of his friend, Johnny ran away retreating with her corpse back into Hell to hide from the horrors he had caused.

Unification

Johnny had Samantha's body entombed in stone before the seat of his thrown in the Dis courtyard so he could watch over it forever, but the guilt became all-consuming. In a final desperate bid to run away, the broken maniac used his daggers to create a new world in which to loose himself eternally. Yet, the multiverse being the way it is saw to it that instead he created another version of Twisted itself - which forced the two versions of the worlds to merge and thus allow a new series of events to dictate the flow of time. In doing so he did finally get his wish as the only thing left behind is a shadow of his former self, still sitting in the courtyard of Dis and handing out punishments. His mind however is lost leaving him nothing but a jumble of broken memories...
