some extra details i forgot to include in the ref!
including: his bag! claude got him an iphone specifically to text him / contact him, and he begrudgingly keeps it on his person except for when he leaves on random missions and delving into the unknown.
he keeps claude's feather on him for good luck, and though it's assumed to be because of his angelic properties, it's moreso about the relief john gets from having a piece of his partner on his person. that belief is what gives him good luck / keeps him protected.
his bag of mysteries include whatever he needs for the week that he's procured. usually contains common potion / hex ingredients / balms, but always adds depending on the con he needs to run or whatever mission he's running around with.
his eyes glow in the dark ❤️another side effect of nergal's blood altering his biology, also gives him night-vision, but works against him in harsh sunlight as his (blue) eyes are naturally more sensitive. gives him more headaches, matter of fact. his eyes also change colorwise to become lighter than the average range of blue, very icey, almost ghostly in the hue of his eyes. it's close to white in direct sunlight.
his pupils rarely change shape, always remaining shrunk/small in size, which contributes to his stare being off-putting to normal folk. his eyes give off the feeling of having no pupils at all.
added an extra expression! he's usually seen frowning / squinting / grumbling but he, like all johns, is an incredible softie. said softness tends to show on his face.
john is dominant in his right hand, but is actually ambidextrous— he's trained himself to use both of his hands for precision work in the case of one being incapacitated / injured.
demon blood makes him run hotter than the average human, so he's actually pretty warm and fuzzy to be around. can't say the same about his personality.
he's also faster than the average human because of said demon blood, but still runs out of stamina and well. smoker's lungs. works in short bursts of speed for a quick getaway but don't expect him to run a chase and not have to double over for breath 1/4th of the way.
overusage of magic causes migraines and nosebleeds. in extreme cases / extreme overusage he starts bleeding from his eyes and ears too. this also happens when he gets overwhelmed with a particularly powerful surge of synchronicity / if he tries to alter the wave in any shape or form.
he's amazing at card shuffling, card tricks, and card "magic" tricks— similarly he's also great at drink mixing because he considered being a bartender as a "normal" life gig for a while.
he's not at all physically strong but does have leverage because of his larger build— usually tends to puff up / try to take advantage of this to appear bigger so he can scare any potential fighters away when he's said too much in a bar fight. still throws a mean right hook though.
i got a buuunch of headcanons for him but if anyone's curious they can drop an ask and i can yap even more :D
