Background / Personality
At a very young age Juanjo lost his parents in a fire at their old house. By eavesdropping conversations a few years later the boy had learned that the remaints of his parents had never been found. Until this day Juanjo doesn't know what really happened to his parents. He can't remember anything about the night of the fire. Sometimes, at night, he dreams about the fire. When waking up he can't remember a lot of things but he never forgets how the flames almost touched the night sky. It's possible that Juanjo's mind is actively blocking any memories he might have to protect his mind.After being cleared from the hospital Janjo was taken in by his grandmother. She had been a lovely lady, the only person that really cared about the boy and his terrible past. Sometimes Juanjo had overheard his grandmother talking about the way he had changed. How he had once been so charming and was now nothing but cold towards everyone. In Juanjo's presence though she never treated him any different.Juanjo's world had been turned upside down again when he was 16. His grandmother fell ill but no doctor had been able to help her. She died after spending four months at the hospital. During that time Juanjo had sat next to her bed every day. He even took on to studying at the small table in her hospital room.The day Juanjo learned that no doctor could help the only person that he loved he set his goal to become a doctor himself. He'd find what killed his grandmother and bring her back to life by saving other people.
Unfortunately for everybody medical school wasn't the only thing that educated Juanjo. Due to his odd state of mind he was unaffected by most things he saw. So it came that before starting college the boy had already started his research and studies on dead bodies. Not dead animals found on the street. No, dead bodies he had 'hunted' himself. People that seemed to be bad for the world, people nobody missed.Over the years Juanjo had taken a liking to the way he could bend death and do whatever he wanted with those bodies. After the first article about his killings had been published Juanjo started to create his own kind of 'art' with the remaints he didn't need anymore. Now he is chasing every high, slowly working towards the fact that someday everybody would know about his 'art'. He wanted to be remembered by everybody. For his 'art' and for the fact that one day he'd be able to heal every kind of sickness.
