[b]Personality Traits:[/b]
John is, in general, an arrogant, spiteful bully. It is very likely that his slight narcissistic nature stemmed from him being spoiled by his parents throughout his childhood. He was fed from a silver spoon, pampered, and never learned to want for anything. He believes himself superior to most people because of his status in England as Governor that started even before that, from coming from a rich, powerful family with social standing. He is boastful of his accomplishments and always directing the spotlight towards him as he thrives on being the center of attention, never afraid to make people aware of his money, achievements and influence.

Although John does have a decent track record of his own accomplishments in life, such as sailing across the world to discover Neverland for himself, infiltrate the Indian camp and take prisoners (one being his current wife), John's reputation is a bit more stretched than most people would believe. When John is faced with a problem that he is unable to solve on his own, he throws money at the situation, depending on others (also with power) to finish the job and then placing even more money on top of that to keep them quiet so that he may brag and boast as though he had done it himself. And when things don't go according to John's plan, his pompous, spoiled demeanor shifts into something much more childish as it is customary for John to throw small fits, make hasty "revenge" plans and act very spur-of-the-moment.

He is very neglectful of the important things in life such as his wife and needing to start a family and instead focuses on new developments that will help him get richer, more powerful and even more infamous. He is unafraid to get his hands dirty and cut out those in the way granted they are, in his eyes, insignificant. Others with power do intimidate him though he will never outwardly show it, or at least tries not to.

[b]Skills:[/b]
John is surprisingly a very bright man, having taken his studies very seriously as a child especially on the topics of geography, navigation and history. That being said, John was exposed to many of these things in his younger days and had learned very quickly how to sail, explore and document important events. He has an intangible memory when it comes to things other people have said to him which comes in handy when John uses those words against people to back them into uncomfortable corners to get his way. On top of this, John has a very uncanny way of being able to lie without stirring suspicion. His lies are deeply considered in relation to how it might fall back on him one day and will go out of his way to make sure his lies can't be unearthed as untrue and make them as believable as possible.

Although he may not appear to be, John is also quite strong in his physical stature. He takes his fitness seriously as his body must be in peak condition when out exploring new land and running a ship. He also keeps fit by his daily practice in swords, rifles, pistols and daggers. He's a decent swordsman but his true niche comes from his ability to aim a gun, both rifle and pistol - he almost never misses.

[b]Biography (Before Earth):[/b]
John was born into a very, [i]very[/i] comfortable life of the rich and influential. He was the only child to his mother and father and therefore never had to experience sibling rivalry or how to share. He was very close to his mother as she never believed in nursemaids or servants to raise her boy and instead gave up her own time to spend as much time with him as she could, helping him to learn and grow. However, unfortunate circumstances befell the Ratcliffe home when John lost his mother when he was just nine years old to an incurable disease. It was then that John decided that he wanted to explore the world - all worlds - so that he may find cures to otherwise incurable diseases. 

Death was a very hard concept for John to learn as a child. After his mother's passing, John would still hold conversations with her, talking to the air as though she were still there, making sure that there was always an empty seat at the table next to him for her to sit and eat. He refused to acknowledge the fact that she was gone and to this day, because his young mind had told John that it was normal, still refers to his mother as though she were still with him at all times.

The most notable thing John has done in his life was when he was a mere twenty years old. A voyage to go out and discover new land was set, funded by the King as they had reliable sources that the trip would prove to be a profitable one. The research behind the voyage took up all of four years before being granted permission as John had started the project at only sixteen years old. Neverland was discovered and though John and his crew never came across the fairies or lost boys native to the land, John's brush with the Indians and Pirates made him filthy rich upon his return. Indians were killed and captured, pirates were tortured and forced to give up their riches. And only two months later, John and his men were on their way back to England to turn in their findings, never to realize the other wonders of Neverland such as it's immortality and other local inhabitants.

One of the prisoners John took back to England with him was a six year old Indian girl by the name of Pocahontas who, at first was used only for exhibits, bragging rights and showing off - a living trophy. But as the young girl blossomed into a fruitful woman, John took other interests in her and married Pocahontas upon her sixteenth birthday. Aside from the occasional bedroom pleasurings, John pays very little attention to his wife as he is often very busy with other things. Future voyages, finishing collections, investments... almost everything comes before Pocahontas as she in turn, even through marriage, is almost nothing more than the ultimate trophy of his accomplishments.

[b]Biography (Life On Earth):[/b]
John never went to Earth and knows nothing of it's existence.

[b]Other:[/b]
John loves to read, write and play chess. He also has a pet pug named Percy that seems to have more rights around the Governor's mansion than his own wife does.
