John Piston Back Then
John Piston was just as any other villain out who settled in the Isles. He only looked out for one person himself. Yet as much havoc as he caused he did fairly well to stay below the radar. He always was the brains behind big crime sprees. The PPD had very little evidence had to go on him. People as far back at the 1980's saw him roam around the Etoile Isles even today they say he hasn't aged a day. Though he would just say you would be seeing someone else. People in the crime circuit say he used to work for the Family and the Mooks after moving from the gang of Skulls. As his rank quickly grew in the Family he began to see his own little group of thugs follow him everywhere for protection. People whispered his ace to gain power quickly was though necromatic spells and dark magic.
However people say good things must come to an end in the 1990's the PPD were able to apprehend John Piston and sentenced him to life. They only cold pin him on one charge and that was illegal gambling in Paragon. It wasn't until 2004 when the famous breakout in the zig of Recluses finding the Destined Ones John was able to make his escape. Falling under his known allias Mr. Piston he worked his way up the streets again as also finding a small group of thugs to watch his back while he did his work. At times he woudl show himself to the public through the years showing he was still around. However things began to change for John in the year of 2011 when he met a kid going by the name of Unleashed Force leader of Phoenix Insurrection. To some who knew him better personally as Clint Sanders.
John Piston Now
No one really knows what made John decide to try and turn over a leaf. Maybe he got tired of being on the run, or maybe he just got bored. For whatever reason he saought out Clint Sanders and offered his services as a mercenary. Clint hired him and in the beginning things were not smooth at all. John did not know what it meant to work on as a team and pretty much went against all orders and in turn caused some heavy rifts in his employment. Though a few individuals within Phoenix Insurrection kept backing John even at his worst of attitudes. People such as Sai and Pinky, possibly it was that those individuals began his inner change. Through the short year he has been with them he's learned to become a valuable team player. He will back anyone he considerds a friend and trustworthy. He's learned to harness his inner skills of what his ancient ancestors are called Terrene Abettors. Meaning planet protectors in which case to balance the supernatural world from over powering the mortal world. Because of this he wields two swords of both considered good and evil.
X'anieth his blood sword said to drink of the enemies blood and grant tremndous strength to the wielder. His holy sword Keshrone to grant the wielder immense defense from the wilders soul. From intense training from clint Sai and and ally of Phoenix Insurrection of a man named Attilio. John has learned to combine his two swords to creat the massive destructive sword Eschaton. Though he doesn't rely on his powers alone he relies on his sheer cunning and skill to advance him further. He is not a person you would want to cross with if you endanger his friends or family.
Recently he's been seen with a child with him and people who ask him he tells them it is his son. And is currently in a relationship with a beautiful young woman that goes by the name Angel. Things are going well for John and he is not going to give up this life without a fight.
The Battle with Beldgaris A.K.A G'ledbris
As time went on with John he realized he didn't have to hide behind his Alias anymore. He now goes by John Stion. As things settled down for John the demon he had been hunting for so long finallyshowed hsi ugly head by the name Beldgaris. At the time John didn't know Beldgaris's true plans was to restore his own power to be the god G'ledbris once more. To do this Beldgaris needed the Abomination stone and the Philosopher's stone to create the Ragnarok Stone. Unfortunately as much effort he and the organizzation Phoenix Insurrection worked, Beldgaris succeeded in creating the Ragnarok stone. However all hope was not lost. Seems that John learned he was a direct descendant of the Terra Cerberus bloodline. During of the Celestial Quadrene era. Guardians of the earth who's purpose is to combat such beings as G'ledbris. John gained access to primordial energies, the very creation of life itself. With that power he infused into G'ledbris destroying the god and the stone. With that out of the way he married Angel.
Though Angel was able to remember who her name was and now goes by Hannah. On May 12th 2012 they wed. Now John has a family and he looks forward to the future whatever it may bring.
Under New Training
Things have been prety peacful for John doing what he can to free the Etoile Isles form Recluse. However things have taken a sudden change for him. With the defeat of G'ledbris John realized his awakening of his blood line. The Terra Cerberus, which has allowed John to access Primal energies. But he can't quite now how to control it. Then out of the blue a very old man came before him and the members of Phoenix Insurrection. The elder asked if he could train John on the ways of the Terra bloodline. It would take years for him to harness it's true potential. But they wold go to a dimensional place where time goes much faster. After years of training, which was only about a month or so in real time he emrged with new skills and are as follows.
Each of the energies grant John certain abilties and personas. John is still him just through those energies his persona changes.
