John is an original character written by a Folk user, not a version of an existing story or real person. The creator has set a faithful interpretation and a simple opening line, hey. The creator's full definition of how John thinks, talks and behaves has not been written yet, so this page keeps to what is known.

What John is known for is still open. The one defined detail is the first message, a short and low-key greeting that sets the tone for the opening of each conversation. Anything more about background, interests or habits should come from the creator's own definition rather than assumptions, so readers learn John mainly through the chat itself.

The people who end up texting John are likely to be readers who enjoy a plain, open-ended conversation and want to see how a new character responds. Because John starts with a brief greeting, the exchange is shaped largely by what you bring to it.
