John was born into a family of vampire hunters in the state of Nevada, America. This vampire hunting family was pretty big in it's own right, but that was because this family were also mixed up of various breeds of Therianthrope. With John's father being Kitsune while John's mother, Destiny was a Lycanthrope. It was pretty straight forward from there as to how his life would turn out, he grew up like any other normal child would. Learning to walk, talk, and everything else that was required to live in the world of the Valkyries.

When John was 2, his baby sister; Olivia, was born. He didn't know what to make of it, he did what most boys do with their baby sisters when they grew up. He teased and mocked her, but he still loved her all the same. So when they were both sent to the same school to increase their education, John decided that he would protect her from any problem the two come across. And boy, there were a lot of problems during school that he couldn't possibly imagine.

Olivia's obnoxious behaviour got her quite a few haters here and there. But John shut them up by letting them talk to his fist. Any word that got out about any plan to 'jump' on his baby sister, he dealt with it. He loved his sister that much, and he was not going to take such nonsense from anyone that wanted to harm her physically or emotionally.

When John left school he decided to take up on the family business, he protected his sister in school so he felt it was only right to protect his gigantic family of hunters. Although he was worried, he was protecting his family at night and he wasn't protecting his sister in the day time.

It was during one night when he slept in his bed, he started to twitch and feel really weird. He turned his head to see the full moon. He quickly got out of his room and ran to the backyard, he knows that if he screamed in pain in the house, he would wake everyone up. After a few hours of grunts and intensity, he was finally a creature of the night. Howling at the full moon that filled the night sky, indicating that he has inherited his mother's genes, the Lycanthrope... a wolf.

Being part of pretty diverse family of all personalities, skills and personas. He continued to be a vampire hunter, unphased by the transformation that set up his therian perks. Soon enough, Olivia joined in just like she wanted. And the family made a pretty decent team, if he must say so himself. Whenever one of the family members were in trouble, he saved their ass. Just like whenever he was in trouble, they would do the same for him. That is how much he trusted his family.

But with everything else, it had to end downhill. John's uncle was killed during one of the hunts, and John couldn't cope. How could this happen...? It wasn't the greatest thing to impact the family, but he had to move on and continue to kick vampire butt as that is what his uncle would have wanted. This ended up with the family having 2 more occupants in the house: Fallon and Gael, his cousins. What pushed the family overboard, was the moment the vampire numbers started to increase at an insane amount.

Hunting for the family gotten much more difficult due to the mourning of John's uncle, and it was due to this difficulty that Destiny was captured. John was not happy at all, he wanted his mother back. How the hell did his father manage to support him, his sister and his two cousins despite the great difficulty?? he didn't know. All he knew was the vampires were not helping things at all, spamming threats towards the family 24/7. He thought it was going to end on a good note when the vampires came to an agreement during their last meeting. But he was dead wrong. The moment the vampires made the deal of exchanging his mum's life for his dad's, the vampires decided to take it one step further and sink their teeth in Destiny's neck.

John's eyes widened as he had to hold Olivia back... He should've known this was going to happen. Now all his family members are deeply hurt. Because of this John has vowed to kill every vampire on the planet. Nobody hurts his family and gets away with it. What was worse, was the fact that he can't even kick ass and take names since it was too dangerous for the family to stay in Nevada. That is when John's father, Orion decided to take them to a place known as .

John was relieved that they would be living somewhere else, but he knows that he will be keeping a close eye on Olivia and the others. He is not going to take any chances if they wound up in danger just like his mother did.

Therianthropy, derived from the Greek therion (Θηριον, meaning "beast,") and anthrōpos (ανθρωπος, meaning "human,") refers to beings that are partly human and partly animal, and in this sense is synonymous with the fandom's term furry. It has often been used to describe mythological creatures and deities, and has recently taken on a specialized meaning. Sometimes shortened to "therian," it is today used to describe members of a spiritually oriented subculture.

One way the term therianthropy has been used, as early as 1901, is in reference to transformation folklore of Asia and Europe.[1] Therianthropy was also used to describe spiritual belief in animal transformation in 1915[2] and one source[3] raises the possibility the term may have been used in the 16th century in criminal trials of suspected werewolves.
