● (canon) background: John Wick & John Wick: Chapter 2

● abilities: "I once saw him kill three men in a bar with a pencil. With a fuckin' pencil."

● strengths:
"John, is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will."

Whether John Wick is your enemy or your ally, everyone can agree he is a man worthy of respect. An exemplary assassin, and upholder of the criminal code, John is well-regarded by his peers earned both his status and his retirement. He doesn't posture, or lie, and is devoid of pride or prejudice. If John Wick has a problem with you, you'll know, and in a world of back-stabbers and snitches, honesty is synonymous with fearlessness. Few men are strong enough to walk away from the underworld, and fewer still are welcomed back with open arms.

The Baba Yaga isn't just a cautionary tale for naughty children. John's work ethic, as evidenced by his rap sheet, is no work of fiction. John Wick delivers. Where there's a will, there's a way, and John has no shortage of will. Once John's set his mind to a task, however impossible it might be, there's nothing and no one that can stop him from doing his damnedest to accomplish it. Only death itself could keep John Wick from fulfilling his obligations, and even then, the Grim Reaper is hesitant to fuck with him.

A faithful husband, and loyal friend, John's commitment to those he loves is limitless, and his heart irrevocable. To remove his wedding band is to cut off his finger. John cannot be bought, seduced or threatened, and there's no stopping his vengeance once it's earned. If John Wick were to sell his soul to the devil, it would only be to bring back his wife.

● weaknesses:
"John Wick, you're not very good at retiring."

John is a united front against the world, but at his core he's a man at war with himself. There's John Wick, the assassin, and John, husband and dog-owner, and neither has fully reconciled themselves to the other.

After leaving the underworld to retire in peace with his wife, John did his best to bury the darker side of himself along with the tools of his trade. He could live as half a man with Helen to complete him, but without her he is dangerously unbalanced. After losing Daisy, Marcus, his home, and any chance of returning to his life as just 'John', he's a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off. Any perceived slight against himself, someone, or something he cares about (he's very particular about his car), is punishable by death, adding weight to his already strained sense of conscience.

John Wick the killer, driven by emotion, is more weapon than man, and a weapon cannot be reasoned with. Self-destructive, self-hating and hellbent on revenge, his rage is all-consuming. John couldn't kill Helen's cancer so he'll kill everything in its stead, until he has no choice but to turn on himself.
