Background
John Call was born seventeen years ago in an archaeologist camp on the main island of Centra. His father and mother were leading scientists in the fields of anthropology and archeology and were on the verge of a breakthrough at the Centra Ruins and in the surrounding area. Shortly after John was born, the amount of monsters that were present on the deserted continent multiplied and quickly overwhelmed the defenses of the camp. John Call's father was killed as he managed to buy time for the rest of the expedition time to escape. John spent most of his childhood growing up in Timber, where his family had originally been from, though his mother took him along on archaeological digs anytime they came along, or whenever tensions in the city got too dangerous for the Call family. John Call's interest in the Garden came after hearing that his own father had gone to the Garden for a little while, and John hoped to follow in those footsteps. His desire to make himself a better candidate for the Garden lead him to apply just after his sixteenth birthday.
Appearance
John is just under six feet tall with a very slim build, but he has broad shoulders which always keep him searching for just the right size of shirt. Having never spent an outrageous amount of time outside, John Call's skin is of average color, neither too dark nor freakishly pale. His face is covered in freckles and his eyes are a deep blue color. His hair constantly shifts color between a light red and a bleached blond, depending on the season, making it easier for him to change his appearance if required. He keeps it cut shorter then a majority of his Balamb Garden classmates as to keep the hair out of his eyes when fighting. John hates being hot, so most of his clothing is usually loose and able to ventilate without any problem. He frequently wears colors that are tan, green, or light gray as he prefers the softer earth colors to some of the more eye jarring color combination that some students choose. His favorite outfit consists of a pair of baggy cargo pants (tan) with a solid pair of black boots, a white undershirt , tan jacket with zippers on the sleeves to provide additional ventilation, and a pair of ballistic glasses to protect his eyes. He also has a tattoo of a Heron on his right arm in memory of his father.
Weapons
John's original weapon was a stock model M4 rifle, but over the years he has slowly been adding more equipment to the weapon as his won proficiency with it has improved. Now armed with an ACOG scope and an M203 Launcher, the SeeD cadet is a formidable opponent in both long range and close combat firefights. In addition to those, he also keeps a bayonet and a sidearm on his person whenever combat seems likely.
