Introduction
Johnny is a playable character that appears in the game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as a member of the Family. Johnny was first introduced in the Petals game.
In-game description
Raised by "Black" Nancy, Johnny's the closest thing to a traditional serial killer the family has. A predator in every sense, he's cold, narcissistic, and relentlessly brutal. Johnny takes immense pleasure in stalking and studying his prey before finally overpowering them. His Hunt ability is a direct reflection of this. With a high Savagery and Endurance rating, not many live to tell about it. The numerous scars that litter his arms and torso serve as a grim reminder of this chilling truth.
Personality
Having been based loosely on many serial killers, Johnny is described to be sadistic, manipulative, and chilling.
Appearance
Johnny has brown hair that he wears slicked back, and brown eyes. He has many scars, most notably one on the left side of his face that runs from his forehead to the area under his eye, and one on his left shoulder.3
Johnny wears a black T-shirt with the sleeves torn off, a brown belt, and jeans. He also wears mustard-colored work gloves, and brown boots. Johnny's clothes have many rips and tears, and are visibly dirty. His knife closely resembles a Green River skinner, When not in use, he keeps it sheathed above his back pockets.

Lore
Johnny was raised by Black Nancy, who killed his biological mother (Judith) when he was a toddler. As the years went by, Johnny realized that Nancy wasn’t his real mom and he was often teased about it by The Hitchhiker. Eventually Johnny grew to dislike Nancy and he stood up to his stepmother when he was around 15 years of age and got into a squabble with her which left him with a noticeable scar on his face. There are several scars around his body which indicates that Johnny got into a lot of bar and street fights.
In the summer of 1972, Johnny strangled a female college student to death in her house in Pflugerville, Texas. He also attempted to stab two of her roommates after finding that they had been sleeping nearby. Ultimately, Johnny ended up fleeing the scene, but not before being stabbed in the shoulder. Due to no arrests having been made, the incident caused uproar in the local community.
Abilities
Johnny's ability, "HUNT," allows him to track Victim movements by highlighting their footprints, as well as being able to close crawl spaces and use ladders.
