Character Contest 63 – Taurus
Another Pose Recipe. John Bull is a character in my meta-verse. The “real” John Bull is a character similar to America’s Uncle Sam. He is a rallying cry and symbol of patriotism (or, jingoism, depending on your bent).
My John Bull is a multi-generational hero. His first appearance was during the Crimean War, which is often considered the first “modern” war. Ever since, John Bull has operated in every major British expedition. He operates as a saboteur, an infiltrator, a double-agent, and liberator.
Many suspect that he is a special MI-5 agent. The British government denies that he exists. Some believe that the John Bulls are a lineage of knights in direct service of the Royal Crown, actual Knights Templar, Masons or another such secret society. Still others believe that John Bull is a mercenary outfit. Those who have encountered John Bull on both sides agree that he operates and fights with a “signature style.” Which leads to rumors that John Bull is an immortal.
All the John Bulls dress in black with the Union Jack on their right shoulder. They also carry a cane that some believe is actually an ancient royal scepter. The cane itself is said to possess magic, shoots lasers, releases smoke or gas, etc. John Bull does use it as a weapon, for defense, and even as leverage for swinging.
