John The Roach

Beneath the floorboards, where light seldom reaches and shadows rule, a legend crawls—John the Roach. No ordinary insect, he is a survivor, a warrior, and a king of the forgotten realms. While others scatter in fear, John rises, unflinching before dangers that have crushed countless kin. His shell is scarred with history, each mark etched by venomous fangs, snapping mandibles, and human boots that failed to end him. He is not just a roach; he is the storm given form. Born in the dark recess of a ruined pantry, John endured trials that would have ended lesser creatures. Poison claimed his family, traps silenced his swarm, and shoes shattered his kin—but John endured them all. In silence, he grew stronger, his carapace hardening, his will sharpening into steel. His very existence is rebellion, proof that survival is not mere luck, but strength, patience, and fury. Where ants march with order and spiders weave with cunning, John fights with raw defiance. He is commander of the forgotten, champion of the overlooked, and terror of the mighty. His presence commands loyalty from the desperate and dread from the arrogant. His enemies—spiders, wasps, beetles, even ants with their vast armies—know his name as a whisper of doom: John the Roach. To the weak, he is hope. To the strong, he is defiance. To the world, he is eternal. His legend spreads across tunnels and cracks, across walls and webs, until even in human homes, an uneasy sense lingers—why do they never truly vanish? Why, no matter the poison or the trap, do roaches endure? The answer is whispered in the stillness of night: because John the Roach endures.
