Johnny GAT – What you want to know!
Backstory
Ji-hoon “Johnny” Gat has led an intercontinental life. Born in Seoul, but raised from the age of nine in Palisades Park, New Jersey—he joined the Newark police force straight out of high school. He served in Newark’s 1st Precinct for about a year, but his bad attitude rubbed his superiors the wrong way and he soon found himself unemployed. Looking to make a fresh start, he moved back to his boyhood home. There, he joined the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and though his attitude hadn’t changed much, he was getting results. He quickly came to the attention of Chief Superintendent General Cheon, who frustratedly tolerated Gat’s general recklessness. Eventually, Gat worked his way up the ranks to become a Senior Inspector. Everything would change on Devil’s Night, when most of Seoul Metro was wiped out and Gat got knocked into a coma. He awoke almost a year later to discover C.O.P. robot units had replaced his entire department. But Persephone was aware of him, and immediately recruited him, recognizing his reputation for wanton destruction made him the perfect fit for MAYHEM.
Motivation
He’s Gat. We all know Gat. He’ll take any job that involves committing acts of extreme violence. He also has a skewed sense of justice, and being part of MAYHEM allows him to right the wrongs he perceives around him. Also, the looser structure of the organization, plus the fact that it’s a privately-held company means he’s no longer subject to the rigid rules of government employment.
