Johnathan Richard

"Not this time."

No secret identities. No hidden or tragic backstory. Not a single thing out of place. Johnathan Richard was the unluckiest man with the luckiest set of circumstances. His powers had been with him for most of his life, even from birth. When he immigrated to America by circumstances outside of his control, the man was not met with false promises and fake hope. He found people who cared for him, friends and family that in time came to accept him as one of their own. It helped him grown and discover more talents than he thought he had. His debt to them would never be repaid.

The next best thing he could do was live his life as happily and completely as possible. But there was always that fear of his power being found out, of being dragging into conflicts he wished no part of. While his love to his family much extended to the rest of the world, his wish for a regular life was a dream he would not let go. Johnathan moved away from New York City, from them, and away from the smalltown nearby that he had called his home.

Millennium City was a good place to be in. While it may seem counterproductive to him wanting to hide his powers, considering the number of metahumans, heroes, and villains in the city that cropped up every other week, it was exactly because of that aspect that he chose to make his home. If there ever was trouble, near home or around his family, the cover Millennium City provided of it being any of the hundreds of metahumans or heroes in its ranks that saved the day would be perfect for hiding. And the perfect place for his dog Winston to explore and play in.

Working the part-time at a diner and balancing the work from college meant Johnathan had structure, a schedule, and his education would help him get ready to work in helping the world develop and grow differently than what most people with powers might do. A far-fetched dream, but a far better set of circumstances than anything else he could see or be willing to settle with. No matter what may come his way, John is happy with his friends, family, and Winston, the best friend a person could ever ask for.

Johnathan Richard's physiology and anatomy is alien as well as his DNA itself being completely different, only holding certain fundamentals of the human genome as well as various other strange and bizarre changes. While holding a small fraction of human DNA as a foundation for his genetics, which may explain his human appearance, all of his other traits and inner-workings of his biology and microbiology are different and altered, resulting in unique and different organs as well as strange and bizarre muscle tissues and various other organic structures.

Overall, Johnathan Richard appears to have the standard yet highly-powerful set of superpowers. Super-strength. Super-speed. Super-durability. Super-resistance. Super-coordination. Heat vision. X-ray vision. Super-vision. Super-senses. Freeze breathe. The list goes on and on, but overall all of his abilities have been made to be superpowered as well as there being several alterations to his physiology to adjust and alter these powers in a way that would help, protect, and defend others from harm. His alien biology may yet hide other abilities even Johnathan may not be aware of!

Chief of all of his superpowers is the super-physics field that his cells both emit and collect around themselves. Able to bend but not break the realm and laws of physics, this "super-field" Johnathan emits allows him to perform superpowered and super-heroic feats straight out of a comic book. Catch airplanes instead of going straight through them, lift vehicles and structures without breaking or falling apart in his hands, and travel at speeds that should send him aflame or send him hurtling off planet Earth! Most importantly, it allows him to exert his power to help and protect others from the potential backlash of his powers and/or from the dangers of the environment they are in. This ability allows him to amplify his abilities and push his mental and physical capabilities and powers to go beyond what should be possible as well as act as a protective buffer against powers and threats to his well-being.

Winston the Wonder-Dog

"Woof!"

Best friend and loyal companion, Winston is and always will be a good boy! And Johnathan Richard will always be his best friend! It was the promise Winston made from day one ever since he was a little puppy who ran happily into the arms of a young infant Johnathan! No matter what, Winston has Johnathan's back and Johnathan always had Winston's. Nothing would separate them.

Moving to Earth and staying in America had been an unexpected change of pace and circumstances for the dog, but he had taken it all in stride. The other animals were fun to play with--although they could be a little dumb sometimes, but that was okay!--and the food was great! Much better than he ever thought it could be! There were burgers, milkshakes, coffee, ice cream, and so much more! The television was fantastic too! Although, not too interactable but still fun! Especially that Discovery channel with all the other animals and neat little facts! The music was also very good here too. When he heard the old records play for the first time, the dog had basically begged for Johnathan to get one of their own. An investment that was well-worth it.

Most importantly, the people of this planet! There was always someone around other than Johnathan to give him headpats and scritches and scratches behind the ears. Winston remembered those people because he could tell they were good people. A dog's memory never fails nor does his instincts! There were lots of good people, even if they didn't do good things or didn't believe in themselves. He believed in them! Even when Johnathan didn't believe in them or he didn't believe in himself, Winston would be there for the rescue! He had a reputation to uphold as man's best friend!

Winston was only a bad dog where bad people are involved. No one hurt his friends or anyone else who did not deserve it. And, if Johnathan let him off the leash and told him to be a bad dog, oh whoever was in trouble would wish they never met Winston!

But let's not focus on that. More headpats for Winston, please.

Winston's DNA is about as alien as Johnathan Richard's, if not even more so. While displaying white fur, Winston shows similarities to the golden retriever, labrador retriever, and the german shepherd. Still, a few of his canine characteristics do not hold true for any breed of dog on this planet, leaving his genetics a huge mystery. His elongated tail that seems a mixture of a cat's tail and dog's tail at first glance as well as his pointed ears and strange black spots and stripes that appear on his body. It seems the canine species of Earth were one of the main foundations for his DNA--like Johnathan with his human DNA--giving Winston the appearance of one but holding different organs, musculature, and a completely different biology.

Similar to Johnathan Richard's abilities, Winston the Wonder-Dog displays the same abilities such as super-strength, super-speed, super-durability, heat vision, x-ray vision, super-vision, super-senses, freeze breathe. However, certain abilities are proven to be unique to him or much more powerful than even Johnathan's own superpowers and abilities. For example, his senses are far more powerful and acute than Johnathan's and are able to pick up on certain stimuli than might even elude Johnathan's senses. Another example would be the sonic bark, which is the result of Winston focusing his vocal chords and barks to create a sonic boom or blast that escapes outward to cause concussive harm or damage to a person or structure. Winston's control over this sonic bark is surprisingly solid, much better than Johnathan since the man is unable to replicate such a feat unless choosing to yell with his entire lung capacity. Even still, the sonic bark holds its superior even if Johnathan were to compete against it. A final example would be that Winston, due to his canine characteristics, has a stronger bite force as well as being overall faster than Johnathan due to having the advantage of being quadrupedal. Due to his canine musculature and body, Winston might even be a little stronger than Johnathan, although the latter has always found a way to grapple and control the dog.

Winston also shares the same "super-physics" field ability that Johnathan does. However, what sets them apart that Winston is able to morph and change his appearance, physiology, and anatomy into a different form. Able to grow wings, spikes, and elongated claws and morphed paws, Winston is able to change into a form of "battle-mode" that allows him to combat threats that might otherwise hold an advantage over him due to his canine form. His wings are meant not only to help direct his flight but are able to generate heat and/or cold similar to his heat vision or cold breathe. The claws and spikes along these wings may help to grab or grapple with objects, animals, or people. The elongated tail, now even longer, appears to further help with balance and coordination, and the spikes along his back, torso, and tail seem to help fend off any close encounters. Longer legs and a thinner yet more muscular body may be a sudden change to make him harder to hit or grapple with yet maintaining the same, if not a greater, amount of strength and speed need in a fight as well as making him more aerodynamic. Like Johnathan, Winston may have hidden talents in his ability to change and mutate that he may not have discovered yet.
