Hello all! I'm Rob, and I'll be bringing you John Constantine from the DCU TV series 'Constantine'. Since the tv series followed closer to the comics than the movie, those of you familiar with Hellblazer might recognize him more.
In short, John tends to be pushing into everyone's business or just making a general arse of himself. Things like rules or policies don't apply to him in his point of view.
John does have a Permissions Post over here since he will use hypnosis on a victim when it suits him. Feel free to pm his journal or pp me on plurk at 'camebefore' if you don't want to use the post. If a situation should arise where he needs to do such, I will pm or pp you ahead of time before such is tried. That said, John does have issues of his smoking or alcoholism that might be what some people don't want. Please let me know one way or another.

The writing on it was kind of bad, but given that they were trying to follow the comics and couldn't bleep out every other word, it was a hard task. He appeared in other places before his own, and Hellblazer is pretty dark for network tv. The storylines in Frusin's run (and Manco's) were some of the better ones. I had kept hoping for more than seeing John in the Lux's background in 'Lucifer' with Carey writing.
I would love to keep it! John finds him interesting even if he isn't sure he's buying the whole Grand Mage part. They tend to look down on him a lot in his world since he's not the formal educated/practitioner sort.

Definitely a hard task yes, considering what I remember of the books I have. I was particularly enamored of the way they treated the chain smoking in the show, showing John holding cigarettes quite often without actually lighting up. Man now I want to dig out my books (and finally get around to reading the Lucifer I have). Project for tomorrow!
Excellent! I can't wait for them to learn more about each other, there's so much going on behind the scenes for both of them. It might not turn out to be friendship but it sure will be a thing /laughs (the Grand Mage part is actually one of the least evasive things he's told John, LOL. And in the SP world they wouldn't necessarily look down on him provided he didn't spill the beans about magic to mortals)
