Hohoho! I'm So glad you liked it! I don't want to say too much and spoil it! But Ashton is technically a "virus" and the bureau doesn't want him there, but there are those who do!
Actually no, I named him John because it rhymed with Don (from the YB game). John's real name and backstory are in a short story on the page of the first PPB game I believe it's called "How Vincent met John".
But since he was a wild man living out in the forest the police called him a "John Doe" an unidentified person, so he thinks "John Doe" is his name.
But I have thought about John Doe MEETING John Doe, that would be hilarious, I may make a comic of it one day
Thank you again for playing!
