Biography

Johnny was born on Valentine's Day in an unknown year (fans suggest 1962). He was born in Aron (Elvis' middle name) City. His father either abandoned him when he was a young baby, or abandoned Bunny (his mother) while she was pregnant.

In his first year of primary school he was short and he was bullied by someone who would become his best friend, Carl.

During his final year at High School he had his first crush on a girl named Sandy, but he was too shy to ask her out, he got to know her by having her tutor him, there he built up the courage and asked her out to the prom. Johnny thought she accepted and decided to get all muscular for "their big date". Johnny saw that Sandy never came, and remained muscular.

Personality

Johnny is arrogant and very dim witted. His womanizing ways get the best of him most of the times. He is a bully to almost everyone, however, most other characters, especially Carl, ignore this, and continue to socialise with him. Although he acts as though he is a grown man, he will always do what Bunny Bravo asks of him.
