!Tropes (On JCC and his works)
* MessyHair: His distinctive scruffy black hair reflects his punk rock image.
* OopNorth: John is from Salford in Northern England. When recollecting his childhood, he had some rather [ItsGrimUpNorth grim] memories to share.
->'''John:''' I used to think trees were dirty, because when I was a kid in Salford you'd climb them and come off filthy, it was like you'd been up a chimney... and even if you got a stretch of park you just had to scrape the grass and there were, like, cinders underneath... it was horrible...
