So I think I've worked out Johnny's story a little more now that I'm replaying New Vegas so I'm going to talk about him a little bit via disjointed bullet points. I'll hide it under the cut so I don't just yap on your dash because I don't want to annoy y'all with my brainrot too much (<- actually wants to give you brain worms about my blorbo but is too afraid to admit it)

He is about 24 years old

He had been in an up and coming raider gang prior to getting shot by Benny

The only reason he joined the Mojave Express was to get some money and exploit the recipients of packages for even more caps and cash. Karma definitely caught up with him

He doesn't remember much of his past but he has a gnawing gut feeling that tells him he will never be the person he once was. He's pretty sure that he's alright with that

He's soft spoken and a little shy but extremely violent. The type of guy you have to pull off a body after he's beaten it to a bloody pulp

He secretly wants to be a cowboy

His best friend would have to be Veronica. They bond over both feeling ostracized when he meets her on his way to New Vegas, and he becomes like a brother to her when she finally chooses to leave the Brotherhood for good

Arcade is his other best friend and one of his many unrequited crushes (others being Manny Vargas and Ralph). Arcade helps him understand that his past does not define him, and he helps Arcade realize that he can choose his own legacy

He prefers melee and unarmed attacks because guns are loud and he gets intense PTSD due to being shot by Benny. A sledgehammer to the face is something thst makes sense to him. A tiny piece of metal ending someone's entire existence? An absolutely horrifying prospect that he'd rather not entertain.

When he first travels through Nipton and encounters Vulpes, one of the younger recruits is tasked with following and keeping tabs on Johnny. Eventually, thanks to Arcade and Veronica, he realizes he's being stalked, but instead of becoming upset he ends up allowing himself to be manipulated by the recruit into getting into a relationship (toxic yaoi trope smh)

He eventually befriends Benny and they actually work together to restore independence to New Vegas. Benny considers him family and an honorary Chairman of the Tops

He is extremely afraid of mole rats, Vaults, incinerators, and travelling at night

His favorite song on Radio New Vegas is Johnny Guitar - it's also his namesake as he can't recall what his name was before being shot and that was the first song he heard upon waking up at Doc Mitchell's

He does get a bit of a happy ending in that he settles down on the outskirts of New Vegas on his own ranch and gets to be a cowboy. And he probably gets a stable relationship too. Haven't decided if I want to be that nice to him yet or not teehee

here, low res screenshot of him be upon ye:
