====History============================================================

Johnathan was already born a genius. His family is known to have a stereotypical name, but also a whole lineage of prodigious scientists and geneticists, due to their unnatural brain waves caused eons ago.
Once he was 4 years old, his parents were dragged by the army when World War II was on, charged with the creation of new weapons and defense systems for the US Army. However, they immediately refused the offer and demanded to be released. Johnathan soon received the news that his parents were "executed by enemy forces".
Obviously having to move on, he moved with his uncles to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and graduated in Harvard at 15, coached by none other than Dr. Gerald Robotnik in his final test, acquiring his doctorate in Oxford also in the same year, a feat until then impossible by human standards. One year later, he was chosen amongst many other brilliant minds of his time to work aboard Space Colony ARK and find the secret of immortality, while also finding a cure for Dr. Gerald Robotnik's granddaughter, Maria. Johnathan was the youngest member of the research and development group, responsible for handling the genetic material that would be used in the Project. Soon, Shadow the Hedgehog came to be, as Johnathan was at first afraid of his potential, but soon warmed up to him.
After some months of work, he got acquainted of Maria and Shadow. His job was also promising enough to earn Dr. Robotnik's respect and trust, to the point where he gave Johnathan the duty to look after Shadow in case anything happened, a feat until then improbable to be done by a teenager.
At one point, while arguing with fellow co-worker Dr. Ryan Weever, he was accidentally exposed to Shadow's Chaos Blast, which altered his already different brain waves, granting him psychokinesis (aka telekinesis) and mind-reading abilities. It also caused him to attract large amounts of static electricity, as the results clearly began showing when his hair became frizzled and white on the tips, as if he just received a huge shock.
During the G.U.N. shootout, after taking a nasty hit on the arm, he managed to put Maria, who had already been shot, in a secret Healing Pod he had been working on without Robotnik's knowledge, fearful that the Project would fail. Before leaving the station, he was found and knocked unconscious by Ryan, to be used as a possible weapon of revenge or as a source of interrogation, but his attempts failed due to the psychic abilities of his rival, so he left him in cryogenic sleep.
After he woke up, he immediately began searching for Shadow or any remains of the ARK incident, but all he found were rumors that the hedgehog had allied himself with Gerald's nefarious grandson Dr. Eggman. To add insult to injury, G.U.N. was also searching for any remains of ARK, forcing Johnathan to hide and run away in fear, unable to speak with Shadow personally.
But now, Johnathan survived Ryan's plan of destruction, and helped Shadow with his decision. Now both creator and creation stand side by side, along with the one and only Sonic the Hedgehog, to stop Dr. Eggman and Ryan from accomplishing their evil goals.


=== Personality========================================================

Before his involvement with Project Shadow, Johnathan was a wise, calm, but aspiring young man seeking to put himself in a higher position in life, and even despite the clear death of his parents in the war, he continued to believe in his own potential optimistically. In the wake of Shadow's creation, he grew attached to the hedgehog and Maria, becoming a brother-like figure to the duo, while looking up at Dr. Robotnik as a possible mentor and at Ryan as an ally and colleague.

In the time after the shootout, however, his personality was greatly influenced. Johnathan grew bitter and distrustful of others, acting cynical towards any form of government or political decisions, as well as society itself. His fear towards Black Doom and Ryan also culminated in a huge phobia towards Shadow, and even despite Black Doom's defeat, he was still distrustful of the hedgehog and his brooding habit, discarding any possibility that Shadow would ever demonstrate emotions or feelings ever again. Once again, this attitude changed after the two engaged Ryan aboard the ARK, giving Johnathan hope towards his creation and society as a whole, perhaps even the hope that Shadow will one day realize the true meaning of his own life.


===Appearance=============================================================

Dr. von Neuron is a tall, seemingly young man that is always seen with his glasses on, constantly fixing them on his face. His hair is brown, but completely risen upwards, and with white tips due to his accident back at the ARK. He is always seen in a lab coat with a large collar that completely covers his neck, and wearing a black t-shirt underneath and dark jeans, complete with red shoes with white tracings.


===Trivia=================================================================

*His name is an obvious play on the neuron cells of the brain, which transmit and process information through electrical or chemical signaling.

*His fear is not being accepted by Shadow as a friend or his developer. The only thing he fears more than that is if Shadow was a declared ally of Dr. Eggman or Black Doom, fearful of the monster he could have become.

*Johnathan is also afraid of solitude in general. And due to his involuntary cryogenic sleep, he is also claustrophobic.


===Boss Status========================================================

Johnathan is fought as a boss in "His Origin", when Shadow, Ryan and Knuckles corner him in the school's sports court. Shadow, however, can't help but wonder why is the battle so easy, almost like if the scientist is not even trying to harm him.

CLASS 8 MIND-POWERED HUMAN

OPPONENT(S): Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna

ARENA: 4th Floor Sports Court - São Paulo Metropolitan

CONDITIONS: Halfway through the battle, Shadow will point out that Johnathan isn't actually trying to hurt him, so he'll tell Knuckles that they must only wear him out. In other words, Johnathan cannot be defeated through Chaos-based attacks (Chaos Spear, Chaos Blast, etc.), or else it will cause an instant game over.

ATTACKS:

Telekinetic Throw: Johnathan will throw one of the objects around him at Shadow and Knuckles

Object Gathering: Once he runs out of objects, Johnathan will look for more and gather these objects around him. Leaves him open for attacks

Force Push: If Shadow or Knuckles get too close, they will be pushed away and take small damage

Psychic Barrier: The many objects around Johnathan will make a barrier in front of him, protecting him from harm

Levitation: Johnathan will fly after Shadow and Knuckles while his barrier spins faster around him, dealing damage when touched

Draw: Rage Mode only. Johnathan will pull Shadow and Knuckles closer for a grapple attack. Leaves him open for attacks

Desperation Attack: Johnathan will turn his barrier into a tornado and throw it against Shadow. If the correct buttons aren't pressed, both Shadow and Knuckles will receive massive damage. If pressed, they will dodge it, then Shadow will counterattack with a Chaos Spear, leaving Johnathan stunned for a few moments

GRAPPLE: Johnathan will hold Shadow or Knuckles in front of him, then slam them into the ground and throw them away. Strangely, it deals very small damage with each hit

BOSS THEME: Everett Bradley - Throw it All Away (instrumental)
