Personality
John isn't known for his etiquette, he speaks his mind whether the person he's talking to likes it or not. His feelings towards the judge that assumed he would never change only made him angry. He wanted to show how evil he could be, only proving the judges point. He became notorious for beating up people to the point of near death, partially for amusement, but mostly for getting a message across to them. He wants people to live in fear when they see him, to avoid him, to keep themselves from possibly being injured if they walk near him.
Character History
Origin
Skellion is no stranger to pain and suffering. The many years in the Zig have hardened his heart and soul into the burning darkness you see now. John Duncan Priest life ended when his mutant abilities killed a Bone Daddy Skull and a Damned Hellion in Perez Park. He was a prospect for both gangs, they were going to settle who got him by who won at the borderline between Hell's Highway and the Boneyard. His powers absorbed both the nether and brimstone energies mutilating and burning both bodies beyond recognition. He was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, despite being a minor. The judge felt he was far too dangerous and likely to not clean up his act. He was placing into a juvenile penitentiary until his 18th birthday where he was transported to Zigursky Prison. When the Zig fell into Arachnos hands John took upon himself to become what everyone feared he could have. As his prison mates called him, half-skull, half-hellion, Skellion became his name.
Fire at the Door
John's run in with Kenneth, Mason, Clancy, and Derek, or The Breakouts, was all by chance. He had been in the Rogue Isles for a couple of years now after him being broken out of the Zig by Arachnos. He had noticed them gathered around at the Golden Giza in St. Martial. Figured it was something worth getting involved in, he brought himself before them. Right off the bat he started belittling Derek because of his lack of strategy and his inability in escape from Longbow himself. It was apparently an impromptu screening, two girls were involved. He didn't catch the first, but the second was none other than Titan Industries, Brooklyn Cale. She was going to "give" the Breakouts some funding for killing selected targets without question. John made a remark about not giving her that pleasure. Shortly there after Webspider asked John who he was. He gave a simple answer, "Depends on who you want me to be?"
No Innocence
It was only small talk, but it was talk nonetheless. Halfway told John he didn't think they were going to be working together for much longer. John figured it was Bioshift's fault. Halfway said it was Kenny that was the problem, that they'll be left behind "again" once Kenneth gets back onto his plan. John really doesn't much care what happens, saying he could get by either way. Halfway doesn't want to get innocents involved, John said he was far from it and that he sensed they were washing their hands from the sins he will commit. Mason said it was more like keeping an eye out on what Kenneth would possibly do.

Affiliations
Posse
- Webspider - (Kenneth Rockwell): "The boss", John makes nice with him, because he has no reason to hate him, since he isn't after his power.
- Hideout - (Clancy Callahan): "The quiet one", Clancy doesn't speak much, but John fine with that. One less talking head?
- Halfway - (Mason Maddox): "The crazy mofo", he can tell Mason's nuts, but he gets points for saying that John had a slick name.
Foes
- Bioshift - (Derek Prewitt): "The moron", they were ready to fight even before John said he wanted in. John figures if he gets under Derek's skin enough he'll lose his cool and undermine him so he can take over his position as the muscle in the Breakout.
