==History== John Clayton was born to an upper class family about the start of the mid 1800’s on Earth (this is an estimate based on Tarzan’s setting of 1882 and the fact Clayton still has brown hair that’s beginning to gray). The kind of family that could afford the luxury of leisure time. Clayton learned to hunt from his father, the family tradition, early on, and took an immediate liking to it. Perhaps he liked it TOO much, as his mother worried privately. He would eventually gain a classical education and a business degree, even if he didn’t actually have to work a day in his life. Instead, he decided to focus more on adventuring and hunting rather than stay in the confines of an office. He joined the military and fought in a few minor wars, putting down rebellions in India and African colonies. After his service ended he hired himself as a mercenary ‘guide’ to escort less experienced hunters, dignitaries and academics through the world’s harshest environments. More and more his obsession with hunting grew to disquieting heights. He remained respected in the gaming community but some occasionally whispered about a peculiar look in Clayton’s eye. With experience comes a network of contacts, and Clayton began to get involved in the black market – selling body parts of the animals he killed for a hefty sum. The Chinese in particular were excellent business partners, and he found a comfortable side-income in this. Eventually, he came in contact with one Professor Porter and his daughter Jane, who wanted to study gorillas in Africa… Now the worlds are suddenly becoming infested with Heartless, and more opportunities for work, particularly as a mercenary for the mysterious Shadow Lords. Clayton will soon find himself in direct contact with the darkness, and it may change him forever. ==Personality== Clayton often comes off as a rugged British gentleman - handsome and charming yet with a thirst for adventure and a hardness from years of combat and exploration. He is a brave man who will face anything no matter how dangerous, striking a strong and manly figure, a role model for lesser men to aspire to, even covet. Quick with a smile or a witticism, always with pipe and good tea on hand, he certainly seems to have been gifted with the human ideal. But behind this lurks the heart of a violent man. He ruthlessly hunts animals to the ends of the earth, killing all manner of creatures. It doesn't matter if they're rare or common, violent or peaceful, social or loners, he will shoot them all down and skin them for parts to sell off or keep as trophies. He is completely callous in dealing with them and feels it is man's very right to exert his dominance over all lesser creatures. Increasingly this viewpoint is starting to expand to sentient non-humans as well. He is very staunch in his defense of 'civilization' and rails against the savage hordes that see what they cannot have and conspire to bring down. ==Abilities== '''Marksmanship''': Clayton is trained to wield several types of guns such as pistols, rifles and shotguns, and is a crack shot with all of them. His favored weapon is a double-barreled 12 gauge hunting shotgun which he has learned to reload at maximum speed. He can easily hit a quarter when thrown into the air, or pick off a flying hawk soaring a mile away, or even shoot a charging lion dead with two well-placed slugs before he can even feel its breath. '''Outdoorsman''': He is also trained to survive in the wild if necessary, though he prefers to hunt and adventure with plenty of supplies on hand. He can quickly learn the layout of the land no matter how alien the terrain, as well as track many types of animals depending on what they leave behind. He tends to play up his skills in this area, however, to impress the people who are paying him in hopes of better compensation, but he is well above the common man when it comes to facing down nature. ==Allies and Enemies== ===Allies=== ===Enemies=== ==Trivia== -Voiced by Brian Blessed. Yes, he has the best villain voice actor. No, this is not negotiable. = Logs = {{Character Logs}} = Cutscenes = {{Character Logs|Cutscenes}}
