John was a farmer that was brought up upon the farmlands of Helena, the new imperial capital. He didnt amount to much just like his family as he was succumbed to a measly life of farming, that was all that he had. He wanted to amount to more than that, this is what he aimed to do. Despite growing up doing nothing but farming and having little to no other skills or knowledge, once he felt he had enough of the boring, low pay and repetitive job he decided he wished to train to fight, so that is what he sought out to do. He picked up a blade and began to train with weaponry, he wasnt very good at it at the start but over time he became more and more proficient with a blade. Perhaps one day he would be a guardsmen of the Empire, a mercenary or even a bandit. Who knows.
