Johno Coopher

Johno T.H. Coopher, AKA Lord of the Cave Ruins, is an Alternate UUniversal Mephean from Planet Scyria. He is a reptilian being with a heavy Southern accent who hailed from an outside Southern town outside Scorchar Desert where a minor meteor missile struck during the era of the Scyrians. He was an outlaw who believed he didn't choose to be an outlaw, only being so out of fate, seeing it as who he was. After escaping his hometown when it was destroyed by a Titos, he comes to the crater finding that the giant feared the obelisks. Now with friends like Knoxville, a trigger-happy lunatic, and Cehyha, his ex-girlfriend and a Roozsian-accented master demolition crafter, he goes to the desert with the intent to rob people. But he soon changes when arriving to the capital of Krater Cention, where he meets Rav, their charming leader, while his team goes to the supply rooms. He is immediately convinced that he doesn't have to be a criminal anymore since she can put good use to his skills, especially when she was impressed by his initial plan to raid the capital. He is named their sheriff and they begin to get pacified and skilled at fighting dinosaurs, and eventually he turns his deputies into an army. But despite the fact that Rav refuses to use a firearm, after Johno rescues her from bandits intending to hold her ransom, and kills them despite Rav's reluctance, she trains to use guns and this allows them to defend the village from a series of attacks from Mangrimax lucuses, or M-Lucuses, whom Johno discovered had the hunting skills and strategic planning of a sentient being. He and his army hatch a plan to prepare for another attack at the M-Lucus nest with help from Cehyha's exceptional explosives. Despite reluctance, Rav lets them attack and they succeed at the cost of Johno suffering an injury saving Cehyha from an M-Lucus. Rav neglects her duties to care for him. The two fall in love and when he recovers, they find a hunting party missing when a Dracthosaur, a fire-breathing draconian dinosaur, attacks them. Then the obelisk hums, and as Rav sees it as pleasure from her God, Johno sees it as dangerous, warning her that it might destroy the city. Later, the obelisk causes earthquakes and lightning storms, destroying the village and kills everyone except Johno and Rav, who escape on a sabertooth feline mount. The two find an abandoned village filled with Dracthosaurs who corner them in their own shelter with no possible means of escape. With no other choice, Johno sacrifices himself to allow Rav to escape. Though Rav believed he was dead, he was instead offered as food to hatchlings. He escapes to find that he's inside the lava trenches that line much of the crater's edges, and barely makes it out alive. With so many Dracthosaurs aiming to kill him, he retreats underground and eventually finds the remains of Krater Cention, and takes up shelter here. He finds the dead bodies of his friends and even a baby Rockour lizard, whom he raises and makes his survival steed, making use of it's active camouflage, wall-scaling, and gliding abilities. With the Rockour, he steals Dracthosaur eggs and tames giant Rock Monsters that help defend him and spy on the surface world where he finds that Rav is still alive and also riding Dracthosaurs. For decades, while Rav guarded the skies, Johno guarded the underground, even discovering hidden secrets about the obelisk and even the metal it's made from, which is a hybrid of genetic material and metallic matter, the perfect renewable energy and material but also potentially dangerous in the wrong hands, which he believes is what happened to the creatures that made the obelisk. Decades later, he finally reunites with Rav when the obelisk's key guardian, a giant mutated Mantilovia, tries to kill them, telling her two new acquaintances Heili Runner and Edwyn Stonewell that they should go to Lapse Wastes to find out more about the race they're studying, feeling that danger is coming their way. While they go and eventually succeed in saving Scyria, he and Rav live happily together defending their desert kingdom. He is the AUU version of Ark: Survival Evolved John Dahkeya.
