John Hancock

Hancock is hedonistic and ruthless, but paradoxically also moral and humble. While he has a flair for the dramatic, best shown in his persona as "John Hancock," the mayor tends to emphasize his community of Goodneighbor over himself, and largely views himself as simply one of many chem addicts that call the community home, only distinct by being the one who can take charge in rough times. He also keeps a general good sense of humor about himself and others. Likewise, Hancock largely takes a hands-off approach to governance, only stepping in occasionally when he feels that one of its rough elements is beginning to threaten the wellbeing of the community as a whole. To that end, though, he is more than willing to end the lives of even those close to him, or hire mercenaries to take out smaller factions in the settlement, fully understanding that living in the slums being seen as "soft" will invite challenges to his leadership. At the same time, Hancock enjoys seeing himself as a man of the people and will freely share his supply of chems with other members of the community, being on a first name basis with many of them.
