Bio
John Everly was born on February 14th 3195 in New Orleans, Louisiana. His parents were both UNSC soldiers who were honorfully discharged. Throughout his life, John was taught how to be the best soldier in waiting for the UNSC. On his 18th birthday he was given two present of good luck from his father: One was his old side-arm with their last name carved into it and the other was the same pair of aviator glasses his fathe used when he was in the fleet.

Everly set off to join the Navy Air Force in 3213. He was accepted almost immedieely and begun his 4 years of examinations so he could fly a fighter. He passed his exit exams with a 92% which qualified him to fly a C710 Longsword Interceptor. Everly had a knack for the controls and even showed off in front of his instructor.

Everly was constantly moved through the fleet during his time. He also participated in the Robot Wars in 3219 as a fighter pilot. He destroyed many robot and rebel fightercraft in orbit around Malificent V. It was around this time that John developed a peculiar case of Survivor's Guilt. He felt that he should have died instead of his colleauges. On two occasions he tried to commit suicide, once by attempted spacing and the other by nearly shooting himself in the head with his father's pistol. The mechanism was jammed and therefore the gun wouldn't fire. He was cleared by a psych exam and was released back into the fighting after mediation and therapy for about a year.

Following the victory at Malificent V, Everly was assigned to mop up rebels whenever it was necesary. He also flew a few runs to take care of the Covenant Remnant wherever he was needed.

Everly was aboard the UNSC Indomitable when she mis-jumped to Anima, the homeworld of the Animan. Everly continues to serve his world to this day.
