Personality:

This Canadian Blizzarian is as fun-loving as they come. Friendly and easy-going with a wicket sense of humor, Johnny Raptor makes friends easily. Whenever a prank has been played, the rest of the group instantly know that it's either Johnny or Trigger as the duo are always joking around together.

Johnny is a genius with crystals and machinery, but a bit of a psycho for his thrill out of getting shocked and blown up. Being a genuis and a psycho is a bad combination as he loves testing out crystals in the lab he shares with Silver or repairing machinery. And even when things go boom (which they most often do) it just adds to his excitment, much to the annoyance of others.

Johnny can't stand anyone whom he believes is 'uptight' or shows any disrespect to his Sky Knight. If they do, he will do everything and anything to make that person's life an absolute misery. Despite his mischief, Johnny's sugar and spice attitude makes him truely loved by all.

Background:

Johnny Raptor was born on the snow terra of Blizaris, before the Cyclonians over took it.

Johnny's family had a long line of Sky Knight service where every member (father to son/mother to daughter) had always qualified to become a part of the squadron.

Johnny and his older brother, Billy Rex, were always close and both dreamed of becoming a member of the Absolute Zeros themselves, just like their father.

At the Sky Knight Academy, Johnny discovered his love for crystals and mechanics (and explosions), quickly raising to the top of the class.

After graduating, however, Johnny was appalled when he hadn't qualified to be a member of the Absolute Zeroes, but Billy had. Not only was he the first in his family not to become a member, but Billy had been made Second-in-Command. Watching his brother being praised by their parents made Johnny jealous, but as time went by his jealousy turned to hate.

Finally Johnny couldn't take it any longer, he confronted Billy. The two brothers argued and fought on a cliff, which almost resulted in one of them getting killed. When his parents found out, they told him they were ashamed of him and that he was a disgrace to the family. Hurt by they're words, Johnny ran away.

Johnny worked on various terras fixing machinery until one day he stumbled upon Sora, run aground from a fight within the woods. Taking the Sky Knight to safety, Johnny offered to fix her damaged skimmer. Seeing that Johnny had a talent, Sora asked him to join her squadron.

I loved Billy Rex and the other Blizzarians so I really wanted one to be a member of the Fire Falcons.
