Narrow-set greenish-blue eyes set in a slightly lantern-jawed face; naturally tanned skin, sometimes seen with a hint of a stubble moustache.

Personality:
He's been described as an introverted extrovert, very guarded around people, keeping them more or less at arm's length till he can size them up. But with someone he's protecting, it's not unusual that he'll let them get close enough that they feel at ease with him, without giving himself away. He tends to be harder on himself emotionally than he is on others: he's aware that his job of hunting monsters has made him into a monster and he's atoning for this as best he can. But if he knows someone has wronged another person, particularly a woman, a child, or someone who's otherwise powerless, he will go Papa Wolf on them. Even in a fight, he's very precise, avoiding wasted shots or blows and needless killing (to quote him, "I don't particularly *like* killing people, but I'm good at it..."), but he's also known to knee-cap a target before moving in for the kill: it's not clear if this is done out of mercy or to make them twist a little; he can be a bit sadistic (using by messing with people's heads rather than by physical cruelty), but only when the situation calls for a little precision strike nastiness. He's a deadpan snarker most of the time, and he also has a bit of a twisted sense of humour (case in point a moment where he squicks someone out by lovingly describing ...an advanced version of dealing with an attacker by poking them in the eyes).
Underneath this, he is really a very loving, even kind and gentle man, but one has to get past all his defences. He really wants to be a conventional, "normal" person with a less exciting life, but he considers himself too damaged for this to work, and his past is too full of enemies for this to be possible. His trust is very tricky to earn, though, but if someone can succeed, it will be worth the trouble.

Early Life:
It is mentioned that Reese's father, an Army soldier, died shortly after returning from his Third Shinobi World War when John was a child. At some point later on, Reese was forced between choosing jail or entering the military because of a violent fight he was involved in as a young man. He opted for the military, and entered the Army shortly thereafter.
Present Life:
Nothing is known from this point onwards, until one day Reese shows up in the blue outside the gates of Kiri, it had seemed during his time away he had picked up a lot of tricks. He decided upon himself to take refuge upon the village. Whilst staying in the village, Reese learnt more tricks, things that will help increase his power to fight, as well as getting to know some people.

Gyojin Clan: The Gyojin clan share some basic abilities related to their genetic traits, such as: their incredible physical abilities (about 2 times stronger and 1.5 times faster then a regular human), a naturally occurring mucoprotein (common to fish) that is both a protection against bacterial infections but also a natural insulator, the ability to breathe underwater, an uncommon resistance to D-rank and under water techniques, and finally incredible swimming speed.
Then, as you rise amongst the clan’s rank, a clansman develops/is taught some new abilities: a strong affinity with water (being able to use B-rank and under without handseals as well as defining their resistance to water jutsus, being unaffected by C-rank and under), a new branch of taijutsu called Gyojin Karate (customs to be submitted), the ability to sense bodies of water and everything inside a water source, and ultimately high rank clansman are allowed to sign the contract with the mighty Sea Kings (custom to be submitted).
Wind Proficiency: Having spent many years practising in the art of Fuuton. Reese has proved himself to be very proficient with all wind techniques and as such can perform the required hand seals with great speed.
Hand-to-hand combat: Reese is highly trained in close-quarters battle and hand-to-hand combat. He is able to defeat a gang of punks with little to no effort. He mostly uses these skills in certain emergency situations, such as when a person that is of interest to him is about to do something dumb. His skills are advanced enough that only a few people have been able to fight him for significant periods of time, let alone defeat him. His fighting style appears to be mix of Yūgana Ken | Graceful Fist and Kyu Doragon Jutsu | Nine Arts Dragon. He has also been seen with using normal everyday utensils as weapons once or twice.
Weapon: Reese carries a thumb sized ball, this ball is a special weapon that allows him to use the fighting style: Football Arts & attached to each side of Reese's hips, these duel chained blades are needed so Reese can use the fighting style: Doki Sono Kamigami | Wrath of the Gods.

Quotes:
“I travelled the world looking for bad guys, but there were plenty of you right here all along.”
"You know I don’t like when people mess with kids."
"That’s a terrible plan, but I like it, so let’s do it."
"The most efficient way to lose in a fight is to act without knowing your enemy."
"Maybe it’s up to me to do what the good people can’t. Or maybe there are no good people. Maybe there are only good decisions."
"I know what happens when you take a life. You lose a part of yourself."
"I don’t particularly like killing people, but I’m very good at it."
"When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different, someone better. When that person is taken from you, what do you become then?"
