John Doe is often seen wearing a worn office dress shirt with black slacks and scuffed black dress shoes. His attempts at maintaining his personal hygiene and basic self-care, or lack thereof, is evident not only in how he dresses but also in his disheveled appearance. Deep bags have formed under his eyes from lack of sleep and his stark white hair is greasy and full of dirt and grime. His mouth is full of cavities and rotten teeth and he reeks of... nothing at all. The strangest thing about John is, even though he appears to be in such bad shape, he has no smell to him. Still, breathing the air around him seems to make people sick and most tend to shy away from him on the streets.
'I'm not quiet because I don't like you.
I'm quiet because it's easier to keep it in that way.'

Short backstory:
John grew up a normal teen in a small town in Wisconsin with every privilege a normal teen had. He drove his father's old pickup truck to school, worked on weekends, and then spent whatever free time he had with his girlfriend and best friend. He never made exceptional grades in school, not feeling obligated to make other's expect more out of him when he could easily slide by with B's and the occasional C. He graduated from high school and moved in with his girlfriend who had already moved out of her parents and began to apply for college, spending most of his time playing video games or reading stories online. If ignorance was bliss than John was definitely ruled by the former. He was... average. That was the until the day of a brutal mugging which would nearly take his life. The event occurred outside of a bar frequented by the young adult in the middle of the night, leaving very few witnesses to report the crime, except for the bartender who had been working there when John left. En route to the hospital, however, John was seemingly dead for ten minutes, all attempts at resuscitation failing. Shortly after the final attempt, however, the ambulance crashed under mysterious means and the paramedics inside died of mercury poisoning, found with the milky white substance filling their mouths and stomachs. John's love interest was found dead by the same means two hours after said crash and the next day John's family reported that they had been taken hostage by a man claiming to be him. Three squads of police officers were dispatched to the location and requested backup, but by the time it arrived they were all found died alongside John's family. The cause of death was mercury poisoning. Since the death of John's immediate family, the man has disappeared, although he existence remains on the internet as a Creepypasta urban legend.
Basic Personality:
John is very apathetic and distant towards most everyone he meets, showing a blatant disinterest towards social interaction. He suffers from severe depression and mild mood swings, a side effect of his broken psyche. He will appear withdrawn and observant in most situations, although he can be caustic when provoked. He is a very cautious person and isn't one to put too much trust in others, a trait he developed after a past event. Despite his passive nature, John can be overly aggressive and malicious when forced into a fight, a side of himself he doesn't show very often.
